Best tips for Niseko Village

Niseko is made up of three areas of slopes – Grand Hirafu (Hirafu and Hanazono), Annupuri and Higashiyama. The three are linked, but not as efficiently as you might wish.

Niseko has a well-deserved reputation for powder snow, which falls almost constantly from December to the end of February, but the terrain is not steep.
