Niseko Grand Hirafu
Niseko Grand Hirafu is the largest of four interconnected ski resorts forming Niseko United. With over 14 metres of annual cumulative snowfall, it boasts some of the finest powder snow on the planet — light, dry, and seemingly endless. Over 30 runs cater to all levels, from gentle groomers to challenging off-piste terrain. On clear days, the majestic silhouette of Mt. Yotei (the "Ezo Fuji") provides a breathtaking backdrop to every run.
The Hirafu Village at the base is cosmopolitan, with international restaurants, craft beer bars, and onsen. In summer, mountain biking, golf, and rafting take centre stage.
