Events

Niseko is a lively area that hosts a number of events and festivals throughout the year. Events in Niseko are held at a number of locations including the four resorts, and the three towns that make up the entire area.

There are some exciting festivals throughout the summer including Hirafu Matsuri in Hirafu, Jaga Matsuri in Kutchan Town, and the Niseko Autumn Food Festival often held in Hirafu.

There are also many events in the winter, such as Santa Days, Chinese New Years events, demo days, competitions and much more.

There are many year round events, that reoccur weekly or monthly. Make sure to check the calendar for updated Niseko events across the whole year. Some events in Niseko last many months, such as incredible art installations across the area.

In the summer, getting to events can be done by bicycle or by car, and there are many rent-a-car option to make your trip easier. Bicycle hire is also available at some rental stores in the area.

In winter, there are frequent shuttle buses that take visitors throughout the resort making it easy to get to most events in Niseko. Rental cars are also available in winter, however they are in high demand so it is recommended to book in advance.
