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."

Grade:

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 Prince Hotel in Higashiyama.
