What’s happening today
Hopefully the Niseko Village ski ground will come up trumps today. First off a drop down Superstition before taking things a little easier on Wonderland and Pure Magic.
Get creative and create your own super hero costume then show it off at blo*blo and party the night away.
That big lake you see from the bus
Lake shikotsuko is one of the deepest lakes in Japan and in view for 20 minutes or so if you take the bus ride from Chitose airport to Niseko. Having driven past it so many times I thought I should stop and take a look. This is what I saw through the lens early yesterday morning.
