Cat skiing
Head up the mountain on a snow cat before the slopes open for the day and be the one to cut the first tracks in the powder.
In our opinion Niseko has some of the best powder snow in the world so it's definitely worth having an early start and getting on the slopes before everyone else. InsideJapan can arrange a tour for you to power your way up the slopes on a snow cat as the sun rises over Mount Yoetei before any of the ski lifts open. This will certainly be an experience you won't forget in a hurry.
