Niseko’s Autumn (Fall) in Flying Colours October 13 2010, 8:55pm via thevaleniseko.com

Niseko’s autumn signal the end of the alpine summer and the onset of the powder snow.

Flying in from Hong Kong and the change of season is just sensational. The oranges, reds and deep greens of the Japanese alpine wilderness, the crisp forest smells and daily change of the surrounding National Forest foliage is just so unique to Niseko.

It’s hard to image such wilderness is only a short flight from the Hong Kong environs.
