This is quite a spectacular mountain and not expected as you drive from Sapporo through the hills to lake Toya. As you go over Nakayama Toge it sits there like a smaller Mount Fuji in a typical volcano cone. Once down on the volcanic flats where there are many vegetable Gardens in the rich soil you can see the mountain well and also at lake Toya. The area is beautiful.

This amazing natural spring water point never runs dry. I understand the underground spring water from the Mt. Yotei takes 70-80 years to be filtered naturally and rise up to the surface.
The spring is privately owned by Mr Kouji Yokouchi, 60, who runs the Yokouchi Tourism Farm. His father set up this facility 25 years ago but never charges anyone for the water. Many locals come with water containers to store water for their own consumption or owners of ramen shops use the water for their food preparation.
There is no entrance fee to this place and there is famed tofu eatery within steps from the spring that make tofu using the spring water.
Do buy some local produces from Yokouchi-san if you like fresh and reasonably priced local items. I bought a bottle of grapes juice (about 900yen) and it was superb ! regret not buying more :) It's like a Fountain of youth here ...amazing !

Hanazono Niseko is located in the southwest corner of Japan’s northernmost island of Hokkaido, 850km north of Japan's capital city Tokyo. Niseko Hanazono Resort lies 1000 metres below the spectacular peak of Mount Niseko-Annupuri, offering you one vertical kilometer of stunning powder snow in the winter, and an unprecedented variety of activities during the rest of the year including golfing, Water Sports, MTB, eco-trekking and more.

If you are in Niseko Hirafu, try to get over to Hanazono. It's the best. Less crowded than Hirafu, with great runs from green to double black. Don't be put off only " one lift", three in a row. Traverse across after the swinging Monkey lift. Must have an All Mountain lft pass. Less options for lunch but the main lunch spot is great with 4ltr beer towers.

If you like powder, this is the place. After several gondola and lifts, you will get to slopes that are not groomed. From the last lift to the peak, you have to hike up there, but you will meet with fresh snow with no trails at all.
On a good day, it is wonderful, but the weather can change for the worst very quickly. With a snow blizzard/storm, they will stop the lifts and you can be grounded. No refund for your bought tickets, so it may be more beneficial to buy on a day by day basis when the weather is uncertain.
Even though the mountain is not that tall, but there are enough grounds to cover for a few days. So plan your trips accordingly.

I visited this onsen with a party of Japanese colleagues who made a point of teaching me all the required local etiquette. Apparently, it is expected to use a small rough scrubbing towel during the initial shower (and everybody in the onsen at the time was indeed using one, but they are not supplied). Next step is the (small) sauna, where you DON'T need to bring your own towel -the benches are ready covered with communal bath towels (which I consider unhygienic, but it is standard practice all over Japan). My Japanese friends went straight from the sauna into the rotenburo (open air warm bath) without bothering to shower to wash off the sweat before -again, this seemed to be in conformity with local custom. The rontenburo appears to be by far the most popular feature, whereas the sauna and the indoor bath are not very interesting. Another feature is a small shallow cold bath, which is not very popular. Genders are strictly seggregated. The only place where different genders can meet is the (rather small) indoor picnic room, where it is possible to eat one's home-made dinner at low-level tables, watch TV and access Wi-Fi free of charge and passwords while sitting/lying on the tatami. Plenty of hot and cold drinks vending machines are available, of course, and so is a small self-catering kitchen equipped with microwave and kettle. Larger and more interesting onsens exist in Hokkaido, but if you happen to be in the area it does make a fine evening out.

Was driving out of niseko headin towards lake toya and we decided to pay this place a visit after Reading the reviews here at TA.
This place actually showcased all the local produce from the different farmers located around the region. In fact, they have the pictures of the farmers on top of the produce that they are selling at the shop. There is also a summary list of the farmers right outside the door. They sell snacks and ice cream beside the main store too.
