I couldn't have asked for a better day on the mountain, and I highly recommend Niseko Supreme ski school to anyone looking for an incredible off-pist skiing experience."
Niseko is a popular ski resort located on the northern Japanese island of Hokkaido. It is known for its abundant snowfall and excellent powder skiing conditions, as well as its wide variety of terrain and modern lift infrastructure. The resort is made up of four main skiing areas, each with its own unique character and appeal: Annupuri, Hanazono, Hirafu, and Niseko Village.
Hirafu is the largest and most developed of the four areas, and is known for its wide range of restaurants and accommodations, shops, small bars, lively nightlife and bustling atmosphere. It offers a mix of groomed runs and off-piste skiing, and is popular among a wide range of skiers and snowboarders.
In Hirafu, you can access the ski slopes from three different locations: the Hirafu family chairlift (above Hotel Aya), the Hirafu Base Camp (next to the main bus station), and the Hirafu Gondola. The transition between ski resorts is easy. You can either ski, use the bus, or take a lesson with us and we will take you to your desired starting destination.
Hanazono is located in the northeastern corner of the resort and is considered the best ski area for beginners due to its large flat area at the base of the resort and its brand new, luxurious and spacious lifts. Thanks to these features and its distance from the town, there are never really any crowds or long queues.
On the other hand, Hanazono offers some of the best steepest and most challenging terrain in the area. It is also known for its excellent tree skiing and backcountry access, making it a favorite among advanced and expert skiers.
In Hanazono, there is only one hotel, Park Hyatt, which is considered one of the most luxurious accommodations on the ski slopes, with ski-in and ski-out options. The resort features five restaurants within the Park Hyatt complex, as well as the Edge restaurant located at the base of the gondola and the new six-seater chairlift.
Ski passes can be purchased at the Hanazono 308 building, which is located near the parking lot. The building also houses a children’s climbing wall, a kids’ daycare facility, a ski rental and retail shop, and a small but very tasty café shop.
Access to Hanazono is easy. If you are a skilled skier and the lifts are open, you can easily ski to and from the other three resorts in Niseko. Alternatively, you can take a bus that runs every 20 minutes between Hirafu and Hanazono. But if you want a stress-free day, we also offer transportation from your hotel to your desired ski resort as part of our lessons.
Annupuri is the southernmost of the four areas and is known for its wide, gentle slopes and great views of Mount Yotei. It is a popular destination for families and beginners, as well as intermediate skiers looking for a more relaxed experience.
Access to Annupuri is possible by car (a 20-minute drive from Hirafu), by bus (although it can be a very long ride), or by skiing, if the highest lifts are operational. Alternatively, you can simply take a lesson with us and enjoy a stress-free ride to your desired destination.
Niseko offers fantastic snow conditions throughout the winter. The most fresh snow falls in January and February. At that time, it is cold, foggy, and windy, but the snow quality is the best. In March, the weather is more stable, sometimes sunny with beautiful views of Mt. Yotei. April is the last month of the ski season in Niseko. The amount of snow decreases, but the snow quality is still good, although it can vary from year to year. During this time, temperatures can already rise above freezing and sunny days are more frequent, allowing for enjoying warmer weather on the slopes.
