Japan Niseko Ski Holidays

With over 50 feet of light, dry powder snow on average every winter, 3000 vertical feet of amazing terrain and 40 ski lifts, Niseko is a big mountain with the terrain and snow conditions to suit all standards. The resort is dominated by nearby Mount Youtei, a classic-shaped extinct volcano similar to the iconic Mount Fuji - this back drop makes for some amazing photos.

Niseko is comprised of three different ski areas, - Grand Hirafu, Higashiyama & Annapuri. They are all linked together and you can buy one lift pass to cover the whole area, or separate passes if you think that you'll just stick to one area. The Niseko ski area has something for everyone including off-piste skiing, night skiing, tree skiing and plenty of groomed runs too.

Night Skiing in Niseko

Night skiing in Niseko is a very unique experience, often being the highlight of clients' trips. Almost the whole ski area is open, under flood light, until 9pm - allowing for 12 hour ski days! You're not restricted to the pistes, as in many European resorts but as the lights are so bright you ski between the trees after sunset.

Off The Slopes in Niseko

All of our featured accommodation is in Niseko Hirafu, which should not be confused with the main town of Niseko, which is a couple of miles down the road. In Niseko Hirafu, you'll find a good number of onsen, bars and restaurants, which are often run by Westerners so you can get anyway with little or no Japanese. However, a few words of Japanese, such as "Konnichiwa" (hello) and "Arigato gozaimasu" (thank you) will always be well received.
