How far above an ordinary night
In Niseko, 9 of the 72 compared nights asked 15% or more above nearby nights of their kind; the largest difference was +55%, on Thursday 31 December 2026.
| Difference against nearby nights of its kind | Nights | Share of measured nights |
|---|---|---|
| +30% or more | 2 | 3% |
| +15% to +29% | 7 | 10% |
| 0% to +14% | 23 | 32% |
| Below 0% | 40 | 56% |
| Not compared | 0 | 0% |
Not compared: fewer than 3 measured nights of the same kind within 7 days, or a difference above +150%, which reads as a broken scan rather than a market. Nights priced more than 3 times above or below the window's middle are already left out of the window.
