ANOTHER one of the many scenic locations surrounding Niseko that is absolutely perfect for a few nights camping is Lake Shikotsu.
This area is probably familiar to many visitors to Niseko as the bus between Chitose Airport and Niseko passes it. There are all the usual lakeside activities to do, plus two fabulous mountain hikes, including one that takes you to the black steaming core of Tarumae-zan, or the more challenging Eniwa-dake.
