Every year thousands of people visit the snowy wonderland of Niseko in December for a stay and holiday. Niseko is, after all, one of the best places in the world to experience a "White Christmas" and New Year (or Chinese New Year just a few weeks later).

To ensure our guests can make the most of it the team at NISADE has compiled this helpful guide to let you know everything happening in Niseko and Rusutsu over this holiday season! Don't forget to join NISADE for our own fantastic Christmas events!

Our Christmas and New Year Recommendations

See the Weekly & New Years Fireworks in Niseko - 17th December to February 25th - Head to the slopes over at Hanazono Niseko for fireworks EVERY Saturday night all the way to February 25th! This includes an incredibly well timed mega fireworks display on Saturday 31st of December! The fireworks kick off around 5pm each Saturday.

Participate in the Torch Light Display in Rusutsu - 31st December - See Rusutsu's epic 1200 firework display or join their light up by skiing down the slopes (yes, guests can participate, but be quick as space is limited!). Rusutsu is just a short drive from Niseko - with The Vale Rusutsu nearby - and never fails to deliver on New Years Eve,

Experience the first sunrise of the New Year - 1st January - Make your way to the Niseko Gondola to celebrate in a truly unique way! Tickets are available from 6.15am and boarding is from 7.30am. Priced at just ¥1,500 for an adult and ¥1,000 for your child.
