Daily snowshoe tours...lifetime memories. Enjoy a snowshoe trek on a frozen volcanic lake or through the Niseko forest.
Had so much fun in these, got up early and snowshoed in the beautiful mountain range of Niseko. Service was great, with some great advice on using them. Would definitely recommend Rob and this experience. Thanks!

Grand HIRAFU boasts the largest size in the Niseko area, offering the best powder snow and a wide variety of 30 courses, including wide ski trails and parks. The resort offers new and convenient facilities such as .Base, the Mountain Center and the high-speed 8-person HIRAFU Gondola. The foot of the mountain is home to many hotels, condominiums, restaurants and hot springs, allowing you to enjoy your time after a hard day on the slopes.
Not many ski resorts offer a 360 panoramic view of one of the world's most beautiful mountain (Mt. Yotei), the highlands of Yamada and the stunning Mt. Annupuri where the Grand Hirafu ski resort stands right now. We went here in mid February in the middle of Hokkaido's famous powdery snow winter wonderland. Indeed Hokkaido lives up to its form - the best powdery white snow and the snowiest place in the world. The ski resort offers ski and snowboarding activities and you could rent the gears and equipment. They also have the Hirafu Gondola which we tried if you just wanna view and take lovely photos and videos of the surrounding ski resort and up to Mt. Annupuri. Additional chairlifts can also be found on each zone of the mountain up to the highest point. Since we didn't ski we didn't try the chairlifts. But still the view and experience is amazingggg. We've been to Mt. Fuji 2x but we didn't see the mountain. We only stayed overnight in Niseko and we saw the 2 gorgeous mountains surrounding the ski resort. A Gondola round trip costs about 2200 yen per person and on your south view you could see the perfectly cone shaped Mt. Yotei (Mt. Fuji of Hokkaido) and on our north view Mt. Annupuri. The Gondola is shared so up to 8 person can seat but the queue is quite fast despite the busy Winter ski season. Once you alighted you are ready to ski that's how attractive this ski resort is. Many zones and areas are designated to ski and snowboard - from long to short course you name it it's there. And each designated zones have a chairlift to bring you further up or down. The Gondola serves as the main link going to Hirafu Village. In the Gondola base you could not ski so you need to go up and you could not rent ski equipment and gears on the way up. There is a cafe on top as well as the Gondola base. To get here just take the Niseko bus from JR Kutchan or take your hotel's free shuttle if they have any. Most hotels are also located in this area so it's easy to get here. Finally, it is the view the sets this ski apart from the rest of the world - we took amazing photos and videos and unlimited panoramic view of the area as we visited and experienced the world's best and sought after ski resort - The Grand Hirafu.

Hanazono Niseko is internationally renowned for its consistently high falls of light powder snow and it's long ski season which runs from early December until April. Averaging around 15m+ of snow each season, Hanazono is famous for its wide open powder bowls and tree runs. The resort is family friendly with a large closed off open area for the resort operated ski school, a beginner snow park and lots of family-friendly activities like our tube park and snowmobiling. Hanazono EDGE is the base to operate your holidays from, it includes a massive restaurant & bar area. Hanazono 308 also has a ticket counter, as well as a rental store and a retail store, which is the starting point for all our activities. In summer it doesn't matter if you’re here for the watersports, golf, biking, hiking or even local cuisine you’re sure to have a great time in and around Hanazono Niseko.
The Hanazono ski area is by a mile my favourite place in Niseko - the 308 plaza is the best "hub" of the resort with a restaurant, shop and ski school. There are many fun activities as well for kids or adults in the area. The runs are not too hard and are enjoyable to ski down. The lift staff are also very friendly and professional and the lifts are comfortable itself.

Mick's in a wine shop and a wine bar. Mick's carries wines from all over the planet and craft beers from all over Japan and great ciders. In the food department we have locally made cheeses and an extensive Charcuterie selection with venison salami. To enjoy any wine in the shop, the price is retail +¥1000/ bottle (like a BYO charge in reverse). Craft beers start from ¥800
Such a cute spot right in the centre of town. Amazing wine, amazing cheese and meat board and amazing service! Loved every minute of it!

Super fun break from skiing! We didn't have a car, so they came and picked us up from our hotel in Hirafu. Already had gear so just needed a helmet, which they fit us for right away. This was my first time snowmobiling (husband grew up snowmobiling) so we all took a few minutes to go through the practice course. Guide spoke English and was very kind & helpful - took lots of pictures! Spent the majority of the time driving around with just a few stops, and - my husband's favorite part - we were given time to just play around within a pretty large circle while the guide took video/pictures for us. Had a nice hot chocolate break like other reviewers mentioned. Overall very fun (& efficient!) experience :) left our hotel at 9, back by 10:40. Highly recommend!!

I booked skis boots and poles for my husband and kids. Willf took us through the whole process from start to finish he greeted us at the door showed us how to self check in and fitted everyone with boots and skis. My husband has always had problems with his feet on skiing holidays this is the first time we have not had to return to the rental shop and change his boots. The kids are normally very shy but before we knew it they were dancing around the shop in ski boots. The skis he gave us were perfect for the conditions and looked almost new, there was lots of choice, the staffs product knowledge was second to none. The equipment we were given in the shop made for a stress free holiday as it was all right first time. We were even offered a free shuttle back to our hotel to save us carrying all of the gear. Great shop and even better customer service.
