Nestled in the heart of Japan’s renowned ski destination, Niseko Village Kids Club offers an exceptional haven for children aged 1.5 to 9 years. While parents carve through Niseko’s pristine slopes, young adventurers can immerse themselves in a world of exploration, creativity, and learning within a safe and nurturing environment.
A holistic approach to child development
At Niseko Village Kids Club, the emphasis is on fostering self-learning and exploration.
