About Best Niseko

Best Niseko is an independent Niseko guide for Australians. We are not a travel agency. We do not sell packages. We write about getting to Niseko from New Chitose, where to eat in Hirafu, English ski schools across the four resorts, and what to know before you go.

This site is written by Steve in Tokyo. Same person behind Best Hakuba and Best Nozawa. We ski Japan every winter.

Stay links go to Booking and Agoda. We may earn a commission when you book through those links. That is how we pay for hosting and research. The price you pay is the same whether you click our link or go direct.

We do not scrape OTA reviews. We do not post fake “official” fares. When we list a fare, we link to the source and stamp it Checked. Restaurant hours and menus are verified from public sources or marked TBD. We update each season.
