Yeah mate, high vis yellow is the way to go for Niseko!!!!!

Get a frame that’s big, and that fits ya face (and ya helmet), and if ya got some Rain-X, give the Outside (Outside Only) of the lens a buff with it!!!!!

I never saw the sun when I was over there. Any hi-vis lenses should suit.

What he said. Hi vis yellow! That’s what I got for my season over there.
Even Hi Vis Orange is not ideal for Japan lol.

Take what ever you have now in case it’s a sunny day and then get a second lens in hi vis yellow.
Or you could even go crazy and get a clear lens that you can use again for night riding.

As mentioned, you need a lowlight lens. Either a yellow or pink lens. Just depends on the brand/model. Try on as many different goggles as you can, as they will all fit you a bit differently.
