Asia's Most Awarded Ski Resort

Niseko Ski Resort, also known as Niseko United, is Japan's largest and most famous ski destination. Located roughly an hour from Sapporo on the northern island of Hokkaido, Niseko sits on the slopes of Mount Yotei and features over 3,000 feet of vertical terrain with vast opportunities for exploration.

Niseko United comprises four interconnected ski resorts—Niseko Annupuri, Niseko Hanazono, Niseko Grand Hirafu, and Niseko Village—linked by over 40 ski lifts. These resorts receive over 15 meters of light, dry powder snow annually from the Sea of Japan, making it a powder paradise. Gondolas and hooded chair lifts make snowy weather easy to manage.

While Niseko's off-piste and backcountry powder skiing is world-renowned, the on-piste runs offer exceptional terrain for every skill level. Off the mountain, visitors enjoy unique cultural experiences including traditional Japanese onsen hot springs, delicious local cuisine, and authentic Japanese hospitality.
