A mere 2.5 hour drive from New Chitose Airport (Sapporo). Niseko is off the beaten track enough to still be referred to as ‘well-kept secret’.

​

The wider area referred to as Niseko encompasses six individual ski areas; Hirafu, Higashiyama, Annupuri, Hanazono, Moiwa and Weiss. The main four areas; Annupuri, Higashiyama, Hirafu and Hanazono are connected to one another and amazingly can be accessed with a singular ski pass.

​

Also Niseko is close to many other Resorts like Rusutsu and Kioro , day trips from Hirafu-Niseko are daily and approximately $70 including bus return trip .

 

Ideally located for your winter or summer holidays: it is 50 meters from the shuttle stop of which many shuttles circulate the village to the Gondola at the base of the Hirafu Mountain every 15 mins and takes 2-4  mins . Very easy , very convenient.  Also the shuttles can take you around the village at any time and drop off at many stops . Futher information look at

200m from local Onsen (volcanic hot spring bath).
