Located in Niseko Town, Hokkaido, "ICOR NISEKO" is a charming café with unique architectural beauty and a menu featuring local ingredients unique to the northern region.

Firstly, the eye-catching, artistic appearance, which seems to ignore practicality. The slender building is built along the slope, allowing one to enjoy the view of the river from the inside. The interior is also a glass-covered open space, with benches and hammocks provided for a leisurely time.
The highlight of the menu is each dish made with fresh produce from Niseko. The sandwiches use Niseko vegetables, and the desserts incorporate sake lees from Niseko Sake Brewery. Additionally, the beauty drink, "Aurora Juice," changes color when mixed, providing visual enjoyment as well.
The open terrace seats offer a view of the magnificent mountains and clear rivers. Apart from the hustle and bustle of the city, one can bask in the natural beauty unique to the northern region and indulge in a luxurious moment.
It is located about a 10-minute drive from the nearest Niseko Station, and has a free private parking lot. During the winter, there are reportedly snow removal staff stationed, so there is no need to worry about being snowed in.
The store sells cosmetics made from lavender and Olofuna produced in Niseko. These high-quality products made from natural ingredients are not only suitable as travel mementos, but also recommended for daily skincare.
ICOR NISEKO allows one to experience the extraordinary, be it the view, architecture, or food. When traveling to Niseko, why not stop by and experience a memorable and special time, allowing both body and mind to fully relax.
