We took our family of two teenage sons, 10 year old daughter and 78 year old mother (who still skis!) to Niseko in March. It was a good resort with a variety of terrains suitable for the skiers and boarders in our family. It has plenty of wide open runs between the different resorts as well as off piste skiing for the experienced skiers. There are a couple of lifts which do not have safety bars which was a bit disconcerting!
There was a large range of restaurants to choose from, many of which had great Japanese food and weren''t expensive.
The onsen at the Vale where we stayed was great and the kids enjoyed the outdoor heated pool. The Vale is a very convenient ski in ski out location with well appointed apartments.
Travel plan arrangements on the ground in Niseko were very good and it was great having an English speaking Travel plan representative there to handle any queries.
