Expert Opinion

"Amazing views of Mt Yotei from here when it stops snowing! Good off-piste and nice trees. I preferred staying in Annupuri, but Hirafu is where the action is."

Three interlinked ski areas (Hirafu, Annapuri and Higashiyama) combine to create Niseko, Japan’s largest and best known resort.

The terrain includes wide cruising runs fringed with snow-laden trees and steeper backcountry descents accessed from gates off the mountain peak. The latter should be skied with a guide or a local as a wrong turn can lead to a long walk through deep snow!

Those seeking nightlife (with an Australian flavour) should stay in Hirafu. Otherwise we recommend the Hotel Annapuri, or the Hilton Niseko Village in Higashiyama.
