Planning a summer getaway to Niseko, Japan? Known primarily for its incredible powder snow and winter sports, Niseko is equally enchanting during the summer months. Surrounded by lush green landscapes, scenic mountains, and soothing hot springs, Niseko offers a unique summer experience. To make the most of your holiday, it's crucial to pack smartly. Here's a comprehensive guide on what to pack for a memorable summer holiday in Niseko.

Lightweight Clothing

Niseko experiences pleasant temperatures during the summer, with average highs ranging between 20°C (68°F) and 25°C (77°F). Pack breathable, lightweight clothing such as t-shirts, shorts, sundresses, and skirts. Opt for moisture-wicking fabrics to stay comfortable during outdoor activities. Don't forget to bring a light sweater or jacket for cooler evenings.

Comfortable Footwear

Exploring Niseko's picturesque trails and landscapes requires sturdy and comfortable footwear. Pack a pair of hiking shoes or sneakers for outdoor activities like hiking or biking. 

Sun Protection

The sun can be quite intense during the summer months in Niseko. Protect your skin from harmful UV rays by packing sunscreen with a high SPF rating. Bring a wide-brimmed hat, sunglasses, and lightweight, breathable clothing that covers your arms and legs. 

Swimwear

Niseko offers various hot springs and beautiful rivers and lakes where you can relax and unwind. Don't forget to pack your swimwear to make the most of these refreshing watering holes. Additionally, if you stay in our Four Bedroom suites or Penthouse suites which come with private onsen in an outdoor terrace, swimwear would be a good option for you to soak in

Outdoor Gear and Accessories

If you plan on exploring Niseko's stunning natural beauty, there are a few essential items you should consider packing. A daypack, reusable water bottle, a natural insect repellant and a picnic blanket will prove invaluable during hikes and outdoor activities. Don't forget to bring a camera or smartphone to capture the breathtaking views.
