Niseko Range Traverse & Shopping
at Niseko Sake Brewery

HOME > Niseko Range Traverse & Shopping at Niseko Sake Brewery

Overview

Traverse the Niseko Range near Mt. Yotei, "the Fuji of Hokkaido". Iwao is Ainu for "sulfur", and this mountain is the youngest volcano in the Niseko Range.
Nitonupuri comes from the Ainu nidomu nupuri, meaning "a mountain with forests". Unlike Iwaonupuri, the lush Nitonupuri recalls a jungle. The caldera depression between the two mountains is another attraction. Climb three mountains—four if you're ambitious—including Chisenupuri and Annupuri. The route runs through a marsh!
After a hot spring bath at Goshiki Onsen, where we'll be parked, you'll be taken to the Niseko Sake Brewery for souvenir shopping on your way back as a reward for your hard climb.
