Kayaking & Other Watersports

The proximity of Niseko to the Sea of Japan is a contributing factor to the massive amounts of snowfall in the winter; during the summer, being so close to the ocean allows for convenient and scenic day trips during the warmer months

Sea kayaking near the Shakotan peninsula or Otaru Osyoro provides close access to beautiful shoreline areas normally inaccessible by foot. If you are lucky, you may witness rare nesting sea birds, marine wildlife in their natural environment, and may even have the opportunity to explore coastal caves and bays in low tide.
