What’s happening today
Niseko Mt Resort Grand Hirafu is where we will be heading and will take a few leisurely turns around the resort on runs including Center , Furiko and Kokutai. For anyone looking for a challenge we have heard that the Kogen park is in great condition and worth checking out.
This afternoon from 4pm at Tamashii the Niseko Tsunami Relief project will be holding a big event with live music and events and will be drawing the Tohoku Support Raffle. If you haven’t already bought a ticket you still have time to buy one and be in the running to win one of the amazing prizes including a holiday for 2 in Thailand! All money raised will be going towards assisting communities in the earthquake and tsunami effected regions of Japan.
