DEstInatIon InFo:

NISEKONiseko is the apre ski capital of Japan. With a wide variety of bars and restaurants you will have a ball both on and off the snow. Made up of 5 resorts, Niseko is big enough to cater for all tastes. Plenty of beginner and intermediate runs are found side by side with off-piste advanced areas. You pretty much guaranteed reliable, day after day powder skiing and riding in classic tree skiing terrain, long groomers and some wide open alpine.

ACCOMMODATION INFOThe ultimate luxury house in Niseko. Completed in 2007, Shin Shin has everything you could wish for, for your ski holiday: 5 large bedrooms, ensuite bathrooms, Japanese-style “onsen” bathroom, ski room, drying room, large lounge room with open fireplace, second separate TV/entertainment lounge area, large dining room and state-of-the-art kitchen. This large lodge comfortably accommodates 14 people

Built on 3 levels, Shin Shin connects to the main village on the 3rd floor; it is about 50 metres to the nearest shuttle bus stop and a short walk to the main traffic lights in Hirafu.
