Hiking
Looking to explore outside the resort areas of Niseko? We have some of the best local guides to take you on a private hike through the wilderness and discover Hokkaido’s raw beauty step by step.
There are 3 levels of difficulty between the courses, each aiming to inspire guests and teach them about local flora, fauna, and ecosystems, some of which can only be found in Hokkaido. Strap on your hiking boots and get adventuring the old-fashioned way.

Shinsen-Numa
¥7,150/p.p.

Lake Hangetsu
¥7,150/p.p.
Difficulty: ★
Lake Hangetsu is a volcanic lake located at the west foot of Mount Yotei and a landmark of Niseko. Get close to nature with large Japanese oak trees, wild plants, and flowers. With some luck, you may see some wild animals. Walk along the promenade from the parking park down to the lakeshore.
Kagami-numa
¥7,150/p.p.
Difficulty: ★★
Kagami in Japanese means mirror and with the pond water being crystal clear it's straightforward to see why the place got its name. The hiking course takes about 45 minutes to climb the 570m to the marsh and has an easy slope and well-maintained path.
Iwaonupuri
¥11,000/p.p.
Difficulty: ★★★
Arrive on the summit of Mt Iwaonupuri in about a 3.5-hour hike with an altitude of 1309 meters. The trailhead is located at Goshiki Onsen and the return hike also finishes there; a great way to soothe tired muscles post-hike. This hike is a great way to work up a sweat.
