Late Season Skiing and Sakura Views in Hokkaido
Niseko is never defined by just one season. In April, late-season skiing in Niseko offers a rare and beautiful transition, where winter lingers just long enough to create unforgettable spring moments.
Bluebird ski days stretch beneath the iconic silhouette of Mount Yotei, with crisp mountain air and golden sunshine creating some of the most rewarding runs of the year. For travellers searching for spring skiing in Hokkaido, Niseko continues to deliver excellent snow conditions well into April, often with fewer crowds and more relaxed slopes.
As evening falls, fireworks illuminate the sky over Lake Toya, adding a celebratory sparkle to the calm of the mountains. The region feels open, scenic and unhurried, perfect for a refined spring ski holiday in Japan.
Then, almost quietly, the landscape begins to shift. Cherry blossoms bloom in soft pink hues, standing in striking contrast against lingering snow-capped peaks. It is a rare moment where sakura season in Niseko meets the final chapter of winter. Here, you can ski in the morning and explore spring festivals in Hokkaido by afternoon.
Before Niseko turns fully green for summer, embrace the magic of this in-between season.
