みどころ PICK UP!!
Fully Enjoy Niseko's Great Outdoors! A Luxurious Day Trip Featuring Scenic Views, Gourmet Cuisine, and Total Relaxation
● Experience Breathtaking Nature at Shinsen Marsh
Shinsen Marsh is a mystical pond nestled in pristine wilderness. Walk the well-maintained boardwalk through untouched wetlands and enjoy the vibrant alpine flora. The still waters of the marsh reflect the surrounding trees and sky, creating a picture-perfect view of serenity. As “”Shinsen”" means “”a marsh where gods and sages play,”" it offers a soul-cleansing, peaceful retreat. The marsh’s beauty transforms with the seasons: lush greens in early summer, delicate blooms in midsummer, and vivid autumn leaves. A must-see.
　
● Indulge in Premium Pork: “”Makkari Herb Pork Sukiyaki Set Meal
For lunch, enjoy the “”Makkari Herb Pork Sukiyaki Set Meal”" at Restaurant NISEKO Nook Annupuri, with a view of Mt. Annupuri and plenty of fresh local ingredients. The herb-fed pork from Makkari Village is delicate, with a fine texture and deliciously sweet fat. Paired with Hokkaido-grown vegetables in a steaming sukiyaki pot, this premium pork will refresh your spirit and satisfy your appetite. Savor a blissful lunchtime surrounded by the grandeur of Niseko’s nature.
*On days when the Niseko Annupuri Gondola operates, you can also ride the gondola (optional, extra fee).
　
● Delight in Farm-Fresh Milk Sweets at Takahashi Dairy Farm
Welcome to Takahashi Dairy Farm, popular for sweets made from fresh milk drawn from cows raised in the lush pastures of Niseko. From rich yet refreshing gelato and soft serve to Camembert cheesecake, you’ll find a variety of exclusive, mouthwatering treats. Enjoy these melt-in-your-mouth sweets while gazing out over the vast farm landscape. A wide selection of dairy products makes for great souvenirs, too.
　
● Taste the Blessings of Mt. Yotei at Kyogoku Fukidashi Park
End your journey at Kyogoku Fukidashi Park. Snowmelt from Mt. Yotei filters underground for decades before springing forth as one of the “”100 Famous Waters of Japan,”" selected by the Ministry of the Environment. The Yotei Spring Water is cold and refreshing, with a mild sweetness that captivates every visitor. Bring a bottle and take some home—a gift from the rich land of Niseko.
