Posted by Nula (865 days ago)

Does anybody know of a HK based travel agency that does packages ex HK to Niseko for skiing?

It is pretty easy to organise yourself - just get flights to Hokkaido and let the Niseko based (Australian owned, staffed by expats) organise transfers, accomodation etc.

Thanks Topol - I vaguely remember somebody telling me that one of the villages in the Niseko area is not great to stay in (shaded most of the day and more exposed to wind). Have you heard anything like that?

I remember CX Holidays had a package to Niseko last winter.

Nula, I think the area you are referring to is outside of the main village near the Prince Hotel. However if you stay in the village, especially near the lifts, everything is much more convenient.

Hirafu is one of the highly recommended areas from my Japanese friend. I assume being Japanese, she knows what she is talking about.

I think Hirafu is best - upper village area means a walk/ski to ski lift, onsens (oooh!) and dining - we stayed with Nisade www.nisade.com and dealt direct instead of using a travel agency
