Early Summer in Niseko

In this episode, we will visit the town that is home to numerous world-renowned ski resorts, Niseko. We will introduce a side of Niseko's vast nature that can only be experienced during its short summer period. Our host will raft down the Shiribetsu River, which has stronger currents during this season due to the snowmelt. Niseko is also well known for the wide varieties of vibrant flowers that blossom near the mountaintops. How do these flowers survive the long winters of Niseko? Our precious footages will uncover the many strategies for survival that these plants possess.
