With June here, Niseko has been blessed with perfect trekking weather. Under a beautiful blue sky, I took a leisurely walk around the lakes and marshes that are representative of Niseko.

First up is Shinsennuma Pond. Located high up in the Niseko mountain range, it boasts a unique and distinctive landscape. Accessible via a boardwalk, it’s recommended for families with relatively young children and those who want to leisurely enjoy nature. You can choose to go left or right along the boardwalk on the way there, but I recommend the right-hand path, which offers excellent views. The pond is said to be formed solely from rainwater, but this season it seemed to have a slightly lower water level than usual.

This is Naganuma. Located next to Shinsennuma, it’s worth a visit if you have the energy. It’s also the entrance to a trailhead where you can start climbing the mountains right in front of you (left: Chisenupuri, right: Shakunage-dake).

This is Kagami-numa Pond, located at the foot of Mount Niseko Annupuri. Surprisingly, the trail to access it is the most challenging of the bunch, requiring several ascents and descents and crossings of small streams, but in return, you can feel a sense of tranquility when you reach the top.

This is Hangetsu Lake, located at the foot of Mount Yotei. There’s a trail that goes all the way around the lake, so you can return to your starting point without having to go back and forth. You can go clockwise or counterclockwise, but counterclockwise is recommended. The reason is that you start with a slight uphill climb, then you can gently descend around the lake, and if you have the energy at the end, you can also enjoy the trail that goes down to the lake.

At NAC, our guides will select the best course for you based on your fitness level. Let’s enjoy the refreshing mountain breeze together!

Today, we’ll introduce how to get to NAC Adventure Park!
Throughout June, registration for the adventure park will be done directly at the park. Take your time and enjoy a leisurely walk!

This is what Niseko looks like today, with the sparkling sun and vibrant new greenery. This year, the water level is dropping a little faster than usual, and the so-called “Spring Course,” which is only accessible during the snowmelt and flood season, is nearing the end of its run. There’s a long-standing tradition at NAC that you can enjoy the Spring Course as long as the “Spring Waterfall,” which only appears in spring at the ski resort, is flowing, but it’s definitely nearing the end of its run. Once the Spring Course is no longer accessible, the next course will be the “Summer Course” upstream.

Golden Week has officially begun! This year, the cherry blossoms around Niseko are in full bloom, earlier than usual. The Niseko mountain range road, “Panorama Highway,” has also reopened after snow removal. Although there is considerably less snow now, Niseko’s ski resorts will remain open throughout Golden Week. And the exciting snowmelt whitewater rafting, a signature activity of Niseko during Golden Week, is even more thrilling after last night’s rain! For families with small children, we recommend the “Adventure Park,” a tree trekking experience that incorporates a variety of activities such as ziplining and bungee jumping. Enjoy delicious food, Niseko’s spring foliage, remaining snow, and snowmelt whitewater rafting to the fullest! Walk-ins and same-day phone reservations are accepted, so please feel free to contact us.

The Magical Experience tickets for Kutchan town residents, which started on April 20th, can be used for all NAC activities. We hope you’ll enjoy eating, drinking, playing, and relaxing in Niseko Hirafu at a great price!

Spring rafting season started today! This year, the snowmelt was early and the temperature was high, so we were able to start with enough water to navigate the spring rapids course right from the beginning. Reservations can be made through this website, by phone, or at the Mountain Center (the building next to the King Gondola) or NAC Container (next to the Ace Gondola, in front of .Base) at Niseko Tokyu Grand Hirafu Ski Resort. Let’s have fun together!

A new year has begun! NAC Niseko Adventure Center is starting the new season in partnership with Niseko Tokyu Grand Hirafu. Today, we’re moving our symbolic sign. You’ll have to wait and see where and how it will be used!

Rafting season starts on April 4th! The water conditions for the spring course are already great, and we already have customers! Let’s have fun together as a new season begins! Locals in the Shiribetsu River basin will receive a discount, and Hokkaido residents will receive the Hokkaido resident price!

Spring is finally just around the corner. This year, as usual, rafting will start on the first Saturday of April.

From this spring, the meeting point for the activity will change. We have moved from the NAC Center, which has been familiar to everyone, to Niseko Tokyu Grand Hirafu Ski Resort. From April ~ June, the Mountain Center is the meeting point for summer activities. The ski resort is also open until Golden Week, so you can enjoy skiing, snowboarding, and spring rapids rafting without moving! Please enjoy the spring whitewash snow, commonly known as shouter, and the spring torrent rafting and spring in Niseko to the fullest!
