Niseko Powder Ski 4-Day Private Trip Niseko Powder Ski 4-Day Private Trip

Four days in Hokkaido by private van from Sapporo: Otaru, a full ski day at Niseko with lift pass and rental included, Lake Toya, Noboribetsu and Lake Shikotsu.
This 4-day private trip starts and ends in Sapporo and links one full ski day in Niseko with the best winter sights of southwest Hokkaido. Your driver-guide stays with your group for all four days and drives the snowy roads in a winter-equipped van.

Accommodation is not included: you book your own hotel each night. We tell you the best town to stay in before the tour (usually Niseko Hirafu for nights 1 and 2, and Lake Toya or Noboribetsu Onsen for night 3).

Day 1: Pickup at your Sapporo hotel or New Chitose Airport. We drive to Otaru, a canal port town with stone warehouses, and walk the Otaru Canal and Sakaimachi Street for lunch. In the afternoon we cross the mountains to Niseko, with Mt Yotei, a cone-shaped volcano, rising over the farmland on clear days.

Day 2: A full ski or snowboard day at Niseko United, an area known for deep, light powder snow. Your 1-day all-mountain lift pass and a full ski or snowboard rental set (skis or board, boots, poles) are included for each guest. Beginners can stay on the gentle lower runs at Grand Hirafu; your driver-guide helps with rental and lift tickets in the morning. Snow amount depends on the weather.

Day 3: A sightseeing day. We drive to Lake Toya, a round caldera lake that does not freeze, and visit Showa Shinzan, a volcano that rose out of a wheat field in the 1940s. Then on to Noboribetsu Jigokudani (Hell Valley), a steaming valley of hot springs with a wooden walkway.

Day 4: We drive to Lake Shikotsu, one of the clearest lakes in Japan, for a lakeside walk. In late January and February the Ice Festival may be held here, depending on the year. Then we return to your Sapporo hotel or New Chitose Airport.

Meals are not included; your driver-guide suggests good places each day, including Hokkaido seafood, ramen and soup curry. Halal or vegetarian food can be arranged on request.

Season: December to March. If road closures or a storm change the plan, your driver-guide takes you to similar places nearby.

One price for your whole group (up to 6): private van, fuel, tolls, parking, your driver-guide and 1-day Niseko United lift pass and full ski or snowboard rental for each guest. Nothing extra to pay your driver on the day.
