 Niseko Snow itinerary and dates

The Niseko ski area is made up of three resorts - Hirafu, Annapuri and Higashiyama. The lift pass included in our standard packages is good for the largest of these, being the Hirafu resort and includes night skiing which is a must-not-miss experience. If you would like a pass to include all three resorts please ask us for details. However, you may be best off taking the Hirafu pass and then deciding on the ground if you would like to sample the other areas. Below please find all the facts and figures for the three resort areas.


hirafu annapuri higashiyama

Niseko Hirafu Resort is regarded as one of Japan's best powder snow resorts. There are three different areas - Kogen, Alpen and Hanazono, all offering a good range of beginner, intermediate and advanced skiing.

The Alpen area has good steep drop-offs, Hanazono lifts 1 and 3 offer access to great tree runs, whilst both Kogen and Hanazono provide mogul fields where competitions are regularly held.

Lifts run from 8:30am until 9:00pm, and apart from occasional Sunday morning five-minute waits, lift queues do not exist. Hirafu is great for snow-boarders too with a big half-pipe, one-make and table-top jumps whilst there are natural quarter pipes and hits everywhere.
