niseko's safety

Niseko is more than 500 kilometres from the epicentre of the earthquake and inland, so it experienced  almost no direct impacts from the event.  Despite concerns about food shortages in affected areas, Niseko neither expected nor experienced supply issues. Additionally, the Hokkaido power grid is completely separate from Tokyo Electric, so the power restrictions affecting parts of the main island do not extend to Niseko.  Although several countries issued travel advisories against Tokyo and the areas most severely damaged by the earthquake, Hokkaido and therefore Niseko were not included in many such advisories.
