Summer in Niseko. Our Five Favourite Things to do!

We all know that Niseko is a paradise during the colder months but there’s also plenty to do once the snow melts. Here are some of our favourite activities to enjoy during green season!

1. Road Riding
Did you know Niseko is one of Asia’s premier destinations for cycling holidays? The region is home to quiet, wide open roads that wind in and around the scenic countryside, offering routes for every kind of rider. You can rent a suitable bike from Rhythm by either booking online or dropping into our store. And make sure you ask us about guided tours!

2. Mountain Biking
Like many ski resorts round the world, Niseko is starting to ramp up the off season by offering a range of trails for mountain biking. You can easily get off the beaten track by renting a mountain bike from us, along with any safety gear you may need.

3. Stand Up Paddle Boarding
Cruising the region’s lake, rivers and ocean on a stand up paddle board will give you a unique perspective of this stunning part of Japan plus you’ll get great workout. Our SUP rental provides everything you need to get started. You can rent a top of the line SUP from us, plus organise a tour to find the best spots.

4. Hiking
Get away from the big smoke and enjoy the great outdoors! Niseko’s countryside is stunning during summer and there’s no better way to explore it than on your own two feet. Get in touch with us to organise a half or full day tour of all the most scenic spots!

5. Food Glorious Food
While a lot of restaurants in the main ski areas close during summer, eateries in the surrounding towns remain open. A great example is Kutchan Town, which is about 15 minutes drive from the Hirafu ski area. In Kutchan visitors can dine on delicious ramen noodles, Korean style bbq, sushi fresh from the sushi train or at the many quality Izakyas that will satisfy your cravings for yakitori, teriyaki, gyo-za, zangi (fried chicken) along with loads of other delicacies. You can also find great coffee by dropping into Rhythm and checking out our café, Gloorious Coffee!
