Ki Niseko Celebrates Opening in Style

Invited guests gathered at Ki Niseko on Thursday night for a lively opening celebration. The evening featured a sake smashing ceremony and gave attendees a chance to see the resort before it opens the doors to its first overnight guests this weekend.

Saturday’s arrivals are in for a fantastic welcome, with the resort set to be hit with snow all weekend, meaning guests can prepare themselves to ride some of the light, dry Hokkaido powder that Niseko has become famous for.

Take a look at some great photos from last night’s party below and book your stay now!
