Breathtaking scenery, world-class ski resorts and thrilling seasonal activities have made Kutchan, Hokkaido Prefecture, a top destination for travelers. It's thus fitting that from Oct. 25 to 26, Kutchan will host the Tourism Ministers' Meeting.
With this year's meeting placing Kutchan in the spotlight, there's no better time to highlight the town's many sights and activities.
Kutchan is well-known for its close proximity to Niseko, a mountain setting where high-quality snow has made it a world-renowned mecca for skiers and snowboarders. The town is home to two notable ski areas, Grand Hirafu and Hanazono, both attracting throngs of travelers from around the world.
