Ski across Mount Niseko An'nupuri on the finest slopes in the world this winter whilst staying at the multi-award winning The Green Leaf Niseko Village, located in Hokkaido, Japan. A key feature of the recently refurbished resort is the superb ski-in, ski-out facilities which provide quick and convenient access to what is highly regarded as the finest alpine terrain in the world with its pristine aspirin slopes and 15 metres of annual snowfall.

The Green Leaf Niseko Village is the perfect skiing destination featuring 200 guest rooms and suites with many providing breathtaking views of Mount Yotei. Each of the eight spacious corner suites features a modern living room and kitchenette. Interconnecting rooms, an uncommon feature in Japan, connect the 96 Deluxe King rooms and the Deluxe Twin rooms and offer an ideal setting for families with children. Complimentary Wi-Fi is offered throughout the resort.

A unique feature of The Green Leaf Niseko Village, winner of multiple design awards for its inspiring art influenced interior design, is the stylish Tomioka White lobby lounge complete with a fireplace and a full service bar providing guests with the perfect venue to enjoy the wide variety of parties and events on offer throughout the winter season.

A therapeutic session in the steaming onsen, set amongst the natural rock formations with snow lightly falling, is not to be missed on a trip to The Green Leaf Niseko Village. The onsen provides separate indoor and outdoor pools for men and women helping guests to relax and unwind after a full day of activities on the mountain. The Green Leaf Spa, recently voted as one of the best spas in the world by Condé Nast Traveler US, offers a range of holistic therapies including Shiatsu and Thai massage to rejuvenate mind, body and soul.

For non-skiers, there is a wide range of other activities to choose from including snowmobile adventure tours through the forest trails, guided snowshoe tours, cross country ski courses, snow rafting and even reindeer sledging.
