HANAZONO: The Ultimate All-Round Resort

Niseko HANAZONO Resort offers an incredible variety of terrain that will keep you entertained all day long. Take three high-speed lifts to the top, and you’ll be greeted by breathtaking views of Mt. Yotei ahead and the summit of Mt. Annupuri towering above. The powder in the upper mountain is second to none, both in quantity and quality. Blast through ungroomed runs with overhead sprays of powder, immerse yourself in magical tree runs, carve high-speed, sweeping turns on perfectly groomed slopes, or cruise through a snow park packed with features. What more could you ask for?

There’s also an abundance of family-friendly activities, including snowmobiling and snow rafting. From first-time skiers and snowboarders to seasoned experts who spend the entire winter on the mountain, and from children to adults, HANAZONO truly has something for everyone. It’s the ultimate all-round winter resort.

Breathtaking Tree Runs That Captivate Riders from Around the World

Nestled in the dense forests on the eastern side of Mt. Niseko Annupuri, HANAZONO feels like a hidden powder paradise. Its predominantly north-facing terrain, the most northerly oriented within Niseko United, receives consistent snowfall and preserves exceptionally light, dry powder for extended periods. It’s the perfect environment for the legendary JAPOW experience.

Nowhere is this advantage more apparent than in the snow-laden forests. Here, deep, feather-light powder and beautifully spaced trees create an unforgettable riding experience. HANAZONO’s extraordinary tree runs have captured the hearts of skiers and snowboarders from around the globe.

Experience the Best of Niseko with the Resort’s Own Powder Guides

When you think of Niseko, you think of powder. However, with the area’s immense popularity, fresh tracks can disappear surprisingly quickly. That’s where HANAZONO POWDER GUIDES (HPG) comes in.

This multilingual team of local guides knows Niseko’s mountains inside and out. From hidden powder stashes within the resort to lift-accessed backcountry terrain, HPG confidently leads guests to some of the best snow the area has to offer. They also provide an exclusive first-tracks service before the lifts officially open, an experience made possible by the resort’s own guiding operation.

For those looking to make the most of Niseko’s legendary powder with experienced local guidance and safety in mind, HPG is the team to turn to.

Magical Night Skiing and Unforgettable Après-Ski Experiences

The 10-person HANAZONO Symphony Gondola, featuring luxurious genuine leather seats, comes alive after dark with colorful illuminations inspired by seasonal events. Combined with spectacular fireworks every Saturday, it creates a truly magical night skiing experience.

The excitement doesn’t end on the slopes. Popular nighttime activities, including night snow tubing and night snow cruising, offer even more ways to enjoy the mountain after sunset. Regular DJ events and other entertainment also make for a vibrant après-ski scene.

At HANAZONO, extraordinary winter experiences await, from the first powder turns of the morning to the sparkling lights of the evening.
