Niseko has featured in Business Insider's list of "100 trips everyone should take in their lifetime", and was one of only three winter sports destinations to do so. The article describes Niseko as being "known for some of the best powder on the planet". We agree!

Other trips mentioned include feeding swimming pigs in Exuma in the Bahamas, driving a classic car around Havana and walking under the budding cherry blossoms in Kyoto, Japan.
