Niseko Village Niseko Niseko Summer Festival 2026

Niseko Village (Operated by YTL Corporation), a premium mountain resort located in Niseko Town, Abuta District, Hokkaido, will officially launch its 2026 summer green season.

While Niseko is globally renowned as a snow resort, its average temperature in July and August hovers around 20°C, making it exceptionally cool and comfortable. It boasts overwhelming potential as a "summer retreat" to escape the intense heat of urban areas.

Furthermore, accommodation rates are more accessible compared to the peak winter season, making the green season a great attraction for enjoying a luxurious resort experience at excellent value for money.

This summer, we will offer the ultimate stay-resort experience with a summer festival featuring local events and diverse gourmet food, a special golf competition with views of Mt. Yotei, nature experience activities for families, and exquisite limited-edition summer dining.
