Cherry Blossom returns to Niseko for 2026, marking the arrival of another beautiful spring.

As the final winter snow continues to grace the peak of Mt Yotei, the valley below awakens with the soft whispers of spring - a beautiful and fleeting transition of the seasons.

This year, the cherry blossoms arrived approximately two weeks earlier than usual, inviting an early sense of renewal to the region. We anticipate the full bloom to coincide beautifully with the first half of Golden Week. At Makkari Shrine, a stunning canopy of Ezo-Yamazakura pave the way leading up to the shrine, offering a breathtaking picturesque with Mt Yotei as your backdrop.

Niseko is a place where majestic nature, culinary excellence, and bespoke experiences come together to create cherished memories. While famous for its winter, the Green Season offers its own unique allure that we invite you to experience firsthand.

• Michi-no-Eki View Plaza: Visit this local hub in Niseko Town to discover a curated selection of the season’s freshest local produce.
• Kyogoku Fukidashi Park: Wander through the tranquil grounds to find crystal-clear spring water and find a moment of peace at the outdoor café, surrounded by the healing sounds of nature.
• Niseko Takahashi Dairy Farm: Indulge in the famous cheesetarts, ice cream, and the same signature drinking yoghurt - also served at Kumo Restaurant’s breakfast.
• Grand Hirafu Resort: Spring skiing is still in full swing. We encourage you to experience the unique thrill of carving through the snow under the warm spring sun.

This season, Kumo Restaurant is proud to present two exquisite dinner courses: Kasagumo and Watagumo. Designed to mirror the transition from the soft air of spring to the soothing evenings of summer, these courses welcome you to slow down and savour the moment at the foot of Mt Yotei. 

Each dish is meticulously crafted by our chefs using hand-selected, seasonal ingredients from the local region, ensuring your stay at Skye Niseko is coloured by a truly exceptional dining experience.

As news of cherry blossoms reaches us from across Japan, Hokkaido finally embraces the warmth of the sun. With warmer days continuing, the approach of summer feels closer than ever this year. We look forward to sharing this vibrant season with you.
