Igloo building
Take a break from the slopes while skiing in Niseko and learn to build your own igloo.
Fancy learning how to build an Igloo? Although it's not particularly Japanese, it is extremely fun.
InsideJapan can arrange a two hour lesson with an igloo instructor. You may want to spend the night in your construction but personally we would prefer the comforts of a hotel or lodge with hot spring baths!

Important notice: We are pleased to be able to offer so many amazing experiences in Japan. However, we are sorry that we can only include these as a part of a full Japan holiday package which includes your accommodation and transport alongside the experiences presented in this section of the web site.
