About Us
“Great talent builds a stronger community.”
This was the founding philosophy of Niseko Study Group (NSG).
Over the years, Niseko has become the leading global travel destination and developed a thriving real estate market with it. However, for me, this area still lacks the infrastructure and the community for professional development, networking and startup opportunities.
To address this need, Niseko Study Group (NSG) was born during the 2021 Summer.
