Niseko (Japanese: ニセコ町, Niseko-chō, [ɲ̟iseko tɕoː]) is a town located in Shiribeshi Subprefecture, Hokkaido, Japan.

Moreover, the town is renowned for its quality powder snow and world-class facilities, including traditional onsen and restaurants.

Nisekoanbetsu is derived from the Ainu word "Nisei ko an pet," which translates directly to "river toward the cliff".

Niseko Town has a plateau-like environment with mountains on all four sides, which gives it a slightly continental climate, with relatively hot summers and cold winters.

Spring and autumn are generally mild, but the rainy season and early and late frosts often affect agriculture.

The most characteristic feature is winter, when the northwesterly monsoon brings moisture from the Sea of Japan, which is blocked by the Yotei-Niseko mountain range, resulting in snowfall.

[9] The resort is internationally renowned for its consistently good falls of light powder snow and its long ski season which runs from late November until early May.

The total population of Niseko Town on January 1, 2023 was 5,088 (including foreigners), with 2,560 males and 2,528 females.

The reason is that Japan's economy has been stagnant for more than 30 years, making it one of the cheapest ski resorts in the world.

The Hokkaidō Shinkansen (bullet train) linking Kutchan (倶知安) with Tokyo and Sapporo is scheduled to open in March 2031.

Niseko Town completely renovated and reopened its Community Hall as a conference center in January 2012.
