Niseko Rocks!
Dec 25, 2010
One of the most exciting developments of the season been “released” in the opening of The Rocks Niseko sales office adjacent to Popolo Onsen at the top of Hirafu-zaka.
There are actually two totally separate developments marketed under “The Rocks” name, The Rocks Edge and The Rocks. These two developments will no doubt appeal to quite different buyers, but share a experienced and professional development team that has already done some very good work here in Niseko.
While details of The Rocks have yet to be released, the site at the top of Hirafu-zaka immediately ensures that these are among Niseko’s premier properties. Visit their office and talk to the team for more info or register for info from their website.

From 7.00 am till late, the VBG can help you from breakfast to supper and everything in between. And after. They’re located in the first floor of the Vale, just down from the lights.
