Fukidashi park

Fukidashi Park in Niseko, Hokkaidō, is a garden centred on a remarkable natural spring: glacial meltwater that wells up from the earth in extraordinary volume, cold and clear. The park takes its name from this phenomenon: fukidashi, meaning to gush or spout forth. It is a quietly compelling place, where the sound of moving water sets the tone and the surrounding greenery softens the edges of the day.

When to go

The park is open around the clock, every day, which makes early-morning and evening visits especially rewarding: the light is gentler and the atmosphere more contemplative. Niseko's summers are mild and lush, while autumn brings rich foliage to the surrounding landscape. Winter visits offer a starker, more elemental experience of the spring itself.
