Awesome video! Curious about the reasoning behind moving to Niseko (or Hokkaido) in particular, is it because the snow season lasts a long time? From what I've read online, it lasts from late November to May, what about the other months in the year? Asking because it would be amazing to ski year round, if you had a plan, I'd be extremely grateful to hear if you plan on skiing year round, and if so, how you plan on doing so.

Hey mate, thanks for watching. Niseko is my favourite place to ski and has been for quite some time. The area has likely the best powder snow on the planet which is the biggest reason why I love it so much. It's also reasonably close to Australia which is where I'm from and the time zone is also similar which is good for the work I do online. Originally, I did a ski season for the 22-23 winter where I worked for a Japanese company there. I moved back home for 6 months after the ski season was over and it made sense to go back again the following winter to see my friends while my visa was still valid. I have since moved back to Australia again due to my visa being finished. The ski season tends to run from the middle of December to early May depending on the snow conditions. However, the deep snow is usually only around from the middle of December to the start of March. The last half of March, April and May is spring skiing which is completely different but still fun. From the middle of May until December, there's no snow in Niseko but there are still plenty of activities to do (mountain biking, hiking, cycling and any other summer sport). If you want to ski all year round, you'd have to look at coming to Australia, going to New Zealand or South America for the Southern Hemisphere winter. I haven't done this before, but it may be something I do in the future. I usually use this downtime from skiing to reset, see my family and work out my plans for the following winter.

What do you do WFH for? I'm a mech engineer and this lifestyle needs to happen at some stage haha

Haha I'd say I'm halfway between a data entry specialist and a database engineer. Basically I'm building a database for an automotive company. Highly recommend the ski lifestyle if you can. It isn't cheap but definitely worth it!

what was it like getting a car in Japan as a foreigner? insurance etc?

@@masonomalley8692 I was a Japanese resident at the time on a working holiday visa. So basically the same process as a regular Japanese person. Heaps of paperwork and fax machines haha. Not sure what the process is if you're on just a standard holiday visa. I may have to find out this coming season as my working holiday visa is finished now.
