Townscape of the city

In Niseko you can enjoy rich nature throughout the four seasons. In the spring, from the gap of the snowfall, when the Baikuro looks at the face, rich water flows out into the river, it becomes a fresh green season. In short summer, it is cool and easy to spend, but I feel the signs of autumn soon. As the temperature slowly declines, the color of leaves that are turning red increases in depth. When the flying snowfall starts to fly, the first snow falls and it is winter production. In winter, one of the best powder snow in the world is accumulated as much as a person's height.

Every year in Niseko Town town, people from all over the town participate and a summer festival is held. It is the state of the Kanta Shrine festival that has continued since Niseko Town was called Kata-cho a long time ago. At this Karita Shrine festival, you can see the march of "Akasaka Gu", which is also designated as an intangible folk cultural property of the town.

　ニセコ町は、明治時代に本州の資本家の投資した農場や団体入植者により開拓が進んだという歴史があります。例えば現在の曽我地区は、明治時代に曽我子爵によって開拓された場所です。曽我神社の社殿の中には、曽我子爵の肖像画が飾られており、地名となっている曽我子爵との繋がりを感じることができます。夏祭りは、地域の人々が総出で参加し、大きな家族のようなアットホームな時間を過ごすことができます。
