We Drove to Niseko In The SNOW
❄️ Taking the Scenic Route to Niseko – A Snowy Road Trip Story
Most visitors take the bus, but we opted for adventure: driving from Sapporo to Niseko in the heart of winter. Here’s how it went down:
🚗 The Journey:
Picked up our rental van at Sapporo’s Toyota Rent-A-Car (after a shuttle bus maze)

Pick up snacks for the trip at Family Mart.
Hit snowy roads with a must-stop break at a rustic mushroom farm (scallop rice + Niseko yogurt = essentials)
Arrived at our Niseko lodge – the perfect winter hideaway
😂 The Mishap:
Friends dropped me at the wrong gear rental shop.
Successfully armed with snowboards for the days ahead.
📍 Key Stops:
Halfway Mushroom Farm (Sapporo-Niseko route)
