By far one of the most well known resorts in Japan, this is certainly the place everyone thinks of when it comes to riding some infamous Japanese snow. The one ‘united’ mountain is divided into 3 areas, An’nupuri, Niseko Village, and Grand Hirafu. All three areas are accessed from the top of the mountain using the one ski lift pass. Niseko is packed with foreign skiers, mainly Australian and New Zealanders so if you are looking for something very different to the European/American ski holiday, this will certainly be a holiday of a lifetime. Guaranteed powder snow throughout the season with a snowfall of over 14m’s per season; a continuous vertical drop of 1,000m; and unlimited selection of terrain including off-piste for the more adventurous skier, and 2 half pipe and 4 different terrain parks spaced out over the resort for the freestyle addicts. There are plenty of companies here offering guiding services to enjoy cross country skiing.
Apres Ski?
Unlike European ski resorts, the idea of apres ski is somewhat different in Japan. No doubt you will enjoy a relaxing cool beer after your hard days work on the slopes but the emphasis at most ski resorts in Japan are the Onsens (hot springs) and having a great meal!!! Most hotels and ryokans offer hot springs inside as well as dinner options. As Niseko is a popular destination for the Australian and New Zealand market, there are plenty of night life options to choose from also.
