Singapore’s hot weather getting to you? Get away from it all and book a fun short trip to see the first snowfall at the Green Leaf Niseko Village - one of the most Instagramable hotels in Japan … We’re planning our leave right now
While there are many, many things to love about Singapore, sometimes the hot, sunny weather just gets a little too much. This is when you need to book some leave, pack a suitcase and head off to cooler climes, like northern Japan.
One of the ‘coolest’ places to visit during the winter season is Niseko Village on the side of dormant volcano Yotei San on the island of Hokkaido. Home to major ski centres on the slopes of Niseko-Annupuri and lots of hot spring onsen resorts, one of the hippest hotels to stay at is the Green Leaf Niseko Village.

The Green Leaf Niseko Village has this kind of hip, 60s vibe combined with Japanese minimalism and a bit of Scandi style – think pale colours, big slightly industrial style picture windows, lots of pale wood. When the snow is fully in, it becomes a ski-in, ski-out place to stay. You’ll see heaps of very stylish Instagram posts if you check out Instagram.
Of course you can ski and snowboard as much as you want, but there are also the amazingly relaxing and healthy onsen hot springs to indulge in; plus the food is pretty damn good too, it’s Hokkaido after all.

Now, we all know that snow holidays aren’t always that affordable, but luckily there’s a great deal on at the moment from YTL Hotels.
