*2: Results of a survey of people who participated in last year's VegePic

More than 90% of people who tried VegiPic were satisfied.
Also, before visiting Niseko and experiencing VegePic, the image of Niseko was dominated by "wealthy people" and "high prices" in winter. After visiting Niseko and experiencing VegePic, many people noticed new charms of Niseko, such as summer "vegetables" and "scenery" as well as positive restaurants.

■ Background of this initiative

　Niseko Town Yotei to the east, Niseko Annupuri to the north, and Mt. Kombu to the south. It has a rich natural environment with countless streams, including the clear Shiribetsu River, and beautiful scenery, including rural landscapes. Niseko Town has been working to protect this beautiful landscape by enforcing Niseko Town Landscape Ordinance since October 2004. In addition, Niseko Town agriculture is a key industry in the area, thanks to the cold temperatures and abundant water produced by the foothills of Hokkaido's most prominent mountains, and the ingenuity of farmers who continue to work in mountainous areas that are not necessarily suited for agriculture. Niseko Town We are implementing this policy in order to allow more people to enjoy the two unique features of Hokkaido: its spectacular scenery and its exquisite vegetables.
