Landscape creation and wide area environmental policy (Niseko Town Landscape Ordinance etc.)
Niseko Town is surrounded by mountains such as Mt. Yotei and Niseko Annupuri, and the clear stream of the Shiribetsu River flows through the center of the town.
A good landscape is born from harmony with nature and landscapes and is a valuable area property that has been built in the past through the accumulation of local industry, culture and history over the years.
In order to protect and nurture these beautiful and magnificent Niseko landscapes and to convey the rich blessings of nature to future generations, we are making various efforts in a wide area including Niseko Town and Niseko Town.

Outline of "Niseko Town Landscape Ordinance"
The two-secret landscape is a valuable asset built over a long period of time through the living harmony with beautiful nature and scenery.
In recent years, phenomena such as degradation of agricultural land, increase of degraded structures, illegal dumping, etc., impairing the aesthetic appearance of the town are getting noticeable.

The framework of this ordinance is as follows.

Unification Act on Conservation of River Environment (Unification River Unification Ordinance)
The clear stream, Shiribetsu River, which flows through Niseko, is a region's property with its beauty and abundance. In the past 14 times, it has been ranked number 1 in Japan in the river rankings, which show the degree of cleanliness of first-class rivers in Japan. With the aim of preserving the environment in the Shiribetsu River basin, seven towns and villages in the basin (Ranetsu Town, Niseko Town, Makkari Village, Rusutsu Village, Kibetsu Town, Kyogoku Town, Kutchan Town) collaborate and cooperate, and the `` Shiretsu River Liaison Council '' Is operated.
This council has been working on a unified ordinance for river environment preservation, centering on the Shiribetsu River, for about five years since 2000. Based on this result, Niseko Town proposed the ordinance plan to the council in March 2006 and took effect in April.
