Upcoming changes in Niseko and the Nuclear situation update

2011-04-18T14:49:00.000+09:00

Extract from the Latest Niseko Promotion Board Newsletter...... with full newsletter found here

"Continued Development in Niseko
In light of the continued stability of Niseko, many development projects in the area are
scheduled to proceed from this spring as planned.
Construction on Shiki, next to the Mountain Side Palace, has already begun.
The Hotel Scot demolition is on schedule to make space for The Rocks development.
Construction on the M Hotel on Momiji-zaka Street has begun.
Further, in preparation for Grand Hirafu’s 50th anniversary, a number of exciting projects are
slated to begin around upgrading the Hirafu gondola. Upgrades include:
An 8-person cabin
Speed boost – the whole trip will now be only five minutes
Renovated building
Additionally, a new ski centre will be built next door, complete with restaurant, ski school,
rentals, and ski shop. A new kid’s space will be constructed, as well. When the first ski guests
arrive late this year, there will certainly be new and exciting changes to see.

Situation with the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant
We know many people are concerned about the impact of the ongoing crisis at the Fukushima
Daiichi Power Plant on Niseko’s developments and operations, so we’d like to quell as many
fears as possible.
Radiation levels in Hokkaido have remained at typical background levels for the last month.
Radiation at sites across Japan has been dropping steadily.
Obviously, we aren’t specialists, but more information can be found online at sites such as
http://fleep.com/earthquake/ (daily updated graphs) or
http://www.mlit.go.jp/koku/flyjapan_en/airport_sokutei.html.
To help everyone understand these measurements, we’ve collected data on normal background
radiation internationally and compared them to radiation levels in Kutchan Town (10 kilometers
from the ski lifts), New Chitose Airport near Sapporo, and Narita Airport just outside of Tokyo.
The sources for the data points are attached. We hope that this information will help quell any
fears you may have. "
