Resort Feature

Niseko’s No. 1 Variety of Terrain

Niseko is synonymous with JAPOW, Japan’s legendary powder snow. Of the four resorts that make up Niseko United, Niseko Tokyu Grand HIRAFU is the largest and arguably the most iconic. Located in the heart of Niseko, the resort offers an incredible variety of terrain, from steep and deep technical faces loaded with fresh powder to beautifully groomed runs perfect for high-speed carving.

With varied gradients, natural rollers, and challenging terrain, even advanced skiers and snowboarders will find plenty to keep them entertained. The sheer diversity of runs makes it possible to explore all day without ever getting bored. It’s no wonder Grand HIRAFU is one of Niseko’s most popular resorts.

Experience the Magic of Night Powder

One of Niseko Tokyu Grand HIRAFU’s greatest attractions is its incredible night skiing. With an impressive 12 runs open after dark, the resort offers one of Hokkaido’s largest and most diverse night skiing areas.

As temperatures drop after sunset, the snow becomes even drier and lighter, creating superb conditions for fast, smooth turns. And with fewer people chasing fresh tracks than during the day, night skiing offers a fantastic opportunity to score untouched powder. It’s a favorite among Niseko regulars who know how to make the most of the mountain.

On clear nights, you might even find yourself carving through powder beneath the moonlight. It’s a magical experience that will stay with you for a lifetime.

The Ultimate All-in-One Experience: Ride, Stay, Dine & Unwind

Niseko Tokyu Grand HIRAFU has much more to offer than exceptional skiing and snowboarding. Along with its two ski centers and two high-speed gondolas, the resort boasts a vibrant base village packed with accommodation options, restaurants serving everything from casual Hokkaido comfort food to fine dining, and excellent natural hot springs nearby.

From riding and relaxing to dining and staying, everything you need for the perfect mountain getaway is right here. What makes the experience even more remarkable is the village’s truly international atmosphere, where English is widely spoken and visitors from around the world feel right at home.

The 2025–26 season also saw the opening of two exciting dining destinations: NEST813, a mountaintop restaurant at the Ace Gondola summit station offering spectacular panoramic views, and POWDERHOOD RESTAURANT & TAPROOM, a restaurant with its own brewery located near the base of the Ace Gondola. Both offer delicious, expertly prepared cuisine in stylish, sophisticated settings, adding even more appeal to the Grand HIRAFU experience.
