♨️ Relaxing Holiday Trip to Niseko & Noboribetsu Onsen

A road trip to enjoy Hokkaido's nature and hot springs.

Our first stop was the resort town of Niseko, overlooking Mount Yotei.

Under the blue sky, I took a deep breath, soothed by the sight of cows grazing leisurely on a vast pasture.

The clear air and majestic nature gently enveloped me in the fatigue of everyday life.

We had lunch at a stylish cafe nestled in the middle of nature.
In a restaurant where the warmth of wood could be felt, I enjoyed a hearty hamburger 🍔
The juicy patty made with Hokkaido ingredients was the perfect combination with crispy fries.
With a vast expanse of greenery outside the window, it felt like time was passing slowly.

In the afternoon, we took a short stroll through the Niseko Highlands.
The clouds over the mountains, the sound of the wind, and Mount Yotei in the distance.
The scenery was so beautiful I wanted to capture every moment, and I couldn't help but keep my camera at the ready 📸
Dotted with resort hotels and cafes, Niseko is a charming place to visit no matter the season.

During our trip, we stopped off at a cafe, enjoying a lemonade in hand. 🍋
The blue walls created a stunning backdrop for photos, a charming setting we'd love to share on social media.
Spending time in a space where nature and design blend in harmony was truly relaxing.

The next day, we drove south to Noboribetsu Onsen, one of Hokkaido's most famous hot springs. ♨️
Walking through Jigokudani, a place of rising white steam, we felt the sulfurous scent and the energy of the earth.
Afterwards, we visited Noboribetsu Bear Park, where adorable brown bears were relaxing. 🐻
Their behavior of lying down and skillfully begging for food was somehow human-like, and just watching them brought a smile to our faces.
If we were lucky, we might even see a duck race, where we could enjoy a heartwarming moment. 🦆

In the evening, we enjoyed a relaxing soak in the hot springs at our inn, gazing at the rising steam.
It was a luxurious trip to Hokkaido, where I was able to enjoy both the natural beauty of Niseko and the hot springs of Noboribetsu. ✨
