Niseko Village Keeps Getting Better this Green Season

Green Season is in full swing and Niseko Village continues to be a hive of activity. From picking fresh fruit at the Yamamoto Orchard and sampling the finest Japanese whisky at the Yoichi Distillery to white water rafting down the Shiribetsu River, Niseko truly transforms into a summertime playground. Niseko Village also just keeps getting better with a range of new attractions and activities, including the Rail Slider, a first-of-its-kind for Japan. Green Season will see the return of beloved events including the annual Niko-Niko Festival and the Niseko Summer Golf competition.

As the newest addition to the resort’s nature activity centre, PURE at Niseko Village, the Rail Slider fuses the fast free-flying sensation of a zip line combined with the twists and turns of a rollercoaster. The Rail Slider is the only one of its kind available in the country, providing an exhilarating and unparalleled experience unlike any other. The Rail Slider adds another fun activity to a host of other attractions available at PURE including tree trekking, horse riding, and a zip line tour.

This summer also marks the fourth edition of the annual Niko-Niko Festival.

Kids will also be entertained with a range of children’s activities including fun crafts and games.
