Niseko is famous for its Erman's birches. During autumn, the birches change their leaves' color into a beautiful bright yellow, making it the primary color of Niseko's autumn. The autumn leaves shining through the mountain fog are a breathtaking sight you shouldn't miss on your trip to Niseko. Also, since Niseko is a mountain region, the autumn leaves and wildflowers vary depending on their elevation level. Even if you miss the autumn leaves higher in the mountains, you can still see them around Niseko Town!
