The End of summer of 2025!

We will be missing the hot summer and the art of light made of optical fibers and LED in winter but the White Illumination in Sapporo City had already started and will continue until the preparation of Sapporo Snow Festival will start in coming January of 2026.  

The displays of the WHite Illumination in Sapporo City is more glaring and brighter than these optical fibers like light emitting jellowfish in the deep sea but we love the calm and subtle display like in deram. 

Soon the last performance by the indigenous people in Hokkaido Ainu like the fire knife in Hawaii and other Polynesian islands would start in front of Hotel Part Hyatt Niseko Hanazono and we hurried up to walk down to to there.

It was so calm and the winds made the optical fibers swinging on the hillside of Mt. Niseko Annupri. It must have been so tough to set up those illuminations on the hillside up to the higher lift station.

Walking down along those lights on the hillside from the upper end station of the lift, we took photos  and indulge in the atmosphere like an illusion. So comfortable winds passed by and took away our concerns and fears.

The lights were swinging and inviting us to the world of imagination. Even if the temperature was low, so comfortable hot spring spa must be waiting for you to make all the menaces around you disappear.

The last "Mountain Lights" in Niseko Hanazono 2025 was so impressive in the darkness and silence. The illumination made of optical fibers was as if light emitting jellowfish were drifting in the deep layer of the ocean.     

I am not sure the price of these optical fibers but anyway, I really appreciate the efforts exerted to entertain the visitors to the area and play up the competition to allure the people between Hanazono and Hirafu.

The variety of the colors of the optical fibers was upgraded this year and the scenery made of them grabbed our heart and made us indulge in the world of illusion. It was so nice and refreshing. Please try that next year.

The time of surreal scenery in the darkness and subtly shining illumination continued so carmly with the small sounds of moving lift and trembling wire. It was not cold nor hot. So comfy winds came from the windows of the lift. 

We could walk down along the illumination set on the ski course beside Hotel Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono of Mt. Niseko Annupri, after getting off the lift at the upper end station.  

The illumination like lanterns kept emitting a variety of colors and swinging in the air like jellowfish in the ocean. Soon the season of white snow and skiing would conquer the region and many skiers and snowboarders would come there from overseas.

After passing by the lift station on the hillside of Mt. Niseko Annupri, we got down to the lower station at the foot of the mountain.The town light of Kutchan was erflected to the cloud over the town. 

The was not the moonlight nor sunshine of the rising sun. It was at around eight o'clock in autumn of 2025. It would be the last stay in the area for us in 2025.

The room lights of Hotel Park Hyatt and Hotel Nikko Style Niseko Hanazono were shining in the darkness of the night inhaling many guests from mainly overseas. I hope that would make the local residents affluent and happy without any uncomfortable situation with the guests and workers from overseas..

The town lights of Kutchan made a reflection on the clouds covering itself and the reflection could be seen over the Illumination on the hillside of Hanazono Area . It was as if the world after death and the route appeared in the darkness.  

Going down the hillside of Hanazono Area, we were remembering the scenery of Mt. Yotei and the surroundings in daytime but the impression was completely different in the darkness.

I heard that the some hotels deregulate the code of reservation in winter and don't require consecutive three nights or more stay  even in the busy season even though the available rooms may bd gorgeous and expensive.

It seemed many of the rooms of Hotel Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono was filled up with affluent guests on that day and might watch the illumination on the skiing course in front of the hotel. 

The illumination displayed on the hillside of Mt. Niseko Annupriwas like the Milky Way in the dark sky in the night.The town light of Kutchan could be seen as if it was the sigh of sunrise. 

These are the photos taken from the lift crawling over the hillside of Mt. Niseko Annupri. The colorful illumination passed by under our lift and it was like the space trip near the Milky Way.
