This live stream looks out over Niseko, the resort town on the western slopes of Mount Yotei in southern Hokkaido. It is a quick way to check snow, cloud and daylight before you travel or plan your day on the mountain.
Niseko sits in the Shiribeshi area of Hokkaido, Japan's northernmost main island, at roughly 650 metres above sea level. The town is known as one of the best-known ski destinations in Asia, drawing visitors for its deep powder and its mix of Japanese onsen culture and international cafes and restaurants. The surrounding landscape is a mix of forest, volcanic slopes and open valley views toward Mount Yotei, whose cone is often the most recognisable feature on a clear day.
Because the stream is focused on the town and mountain setting, it is most useful for judging conditions rather than detail. Winter views help you gauge snowfall and visibility, while spring and autumn images show how the slopes and forest change colour. Watch in the early morning or late afternoon for the clearest light, and check again after fresh snowfall to see how the scene looks once the cloud lifts. Depending on the view, you may see lift activity or the first tracks on the slopes.
Winter is the main season here, typically from December into early spring, when snow is heavy and reliable. Summer is warm and green and suits hiking and cycling, while autumn brings clear skies and colourful foliage. The Hanazono and Honda Cafe cameras listed nearby show other parts of the area, and checking several together gives a fuller picture of conditions across the district before you head out.

The camera is in the town of Niseko in the Abuta district of Hokkaido, close to the base of the ski resorts. The map on this page shows its precise position relative to the surrounding slopes and nearby cameras.
Early mornings in winter are often the most useful, when fresh snow and clear skies make conditions easiest to judge. Late afternoon light is good for seeing the shape of the slopes, and the stream is worth checking after storms.
