Winter is calling and that means a plethora of restaurants to choose from during your stay in Niseko during the colder months. Who better to ask for local restaurant recommendations than our very own Concierge Team, who eat, play and work in Niseko, so they have had their fair share of local tasting.
While our in-house restaurant, An Dining, is at the top of the list, why not mix up your taste buds a few nights during your stay and try some of the other local restaurants serving up incredible, Japanese and international cuisine.
After a heated discussion of everyone's favourites, here is the top five that made the cut, as brought to you by our Concierge.
