10 More Things to Do in Niseko |
In my previous article, I introduced Niseko (ニセコ町), a town in Hokkaido, Japan, located in the Shiribeshi Subprefecture. Famous for its superb powder snow and renowned ski resorts, Niseko attracts winter sports enthusiasts from around the world. The town's name originates from the Nisekoanbetsu River (ニセコアンベツ川), which means "river toward the cliff" in the Ainu language.

Ikoino Yuyado Iroha |
6. Take a dip at the onsen of Ikoino Yuyado Iroha (いこいの湯宿 いろは). Unlike the onsen earlier, this is a 3-star hotel, so you have the option to stay for the night. The good thing about this hotel is that it has an affordable day-use onsen for non-guests.
