A Winter Night Around Niseko Station: Lights, Snow, and a Warm Onsen

On February 8, 2026, I visited Niseko Station-area winter illuminations and snow candles, using Niseko Station Kiranoyu Onsen as the perfect base to warm up between snowy strolls♨️

Soft candlelight on fresh snow, a calm station atmosphere, and an easy walk to nearby cafés and spots—this is the kind of winter evening that makes you want to slow down and stay a little longer.

Must-See Highlights for This Season

① Niseko Station-area snow candles & night lights
A gentle, photo-friendly glow that feels intimate rather than crowded—ideal for a slow winter walk🕯️

③ Yukitopia Snow Festival 2026 (Kutchan Chuo Park)
