A year round resort accommodation

Whether it is to beat the heat of summer or to plunge into the deep Niseko powder, SnowDog Village offers the perfect escape from your local environs to the Hokkaido countryside.

The Niseko area has long been known for its extraordinary snow and hospitality. SnowDog Village is a resort condominium located at the Niseko Village Resort. Just 5 minutes from the Gondola by the dedicated SnowDog Village shuttle. Guests are free to enjoy the legendary slopes while having the extra luxury of a forest condominium retreat to return to. However, you may not know about the perks of a summer stay at SnowDog! See below for reasons to enjoy SnowDog regardless of the season.
