    Hokkaido Abuta-gun Niseko town Chuo street JR Niseko station building
    Nupuri is a café located on the premises of JR Niseko Station; the café is very proud of its home-brewed coffee made using spring water from Mt. Yotei. There is also an extensive food menu, with diners being able to enjoy dishes made using delicious-tasting vegetable and rice, which is either grown by the café operators themselves or purchased from local farmers. Nupuri’s superb curry, made using plenty of Chinese yam and bacon, is especially popular. The antique furniture in the café and the jazz music playing in the background create a relaxing atmosphere.

    北海道はニセコ地区、JRニセコ駅にあります。 テーブルとイスは年季が入ってる。 壁に振り子時計が並んでいて、趣があります。落ち着いたお店です。 長芋とベーコンの入ったカレーライスをいただきました。辛さを指定するめんどくさい作業は必要ありません(笑) コーヒー付きのセットで満足しました。 土曜の昼でしたが、混んでいて順番待ちの人気店です。

Hokkaido Areas

around-area-map

Not just a prefecture but an island of its own, Hokkaido is the most northerly prefecture and island of the Japanese archipelago. Arriving in Hokkaido, which is rural and bursting with breathtaking nature, means entering a world where vast national parks, towering mountains, and natural hot springs can be found at every turn. Come December, these natural splendors freeze over and morph into a winter wonderland.
