Niseko Hirafu is the main heartbeat of Niseko in Hokkaido. Hirafu is the largest of the Niseko villages and the Niseko Grand Hirafu Ski Resort is also the biggest of the four interconnected Niseko United ski areas. Niseko Japan is famous for the high quality powder that falls in abundance. Niseko is also world renowned as a premier Japanese ski resort due to its huge range of restaurants, bars, shops, and services, yet in reality, these are largely just elements of the Hirafu Village.
Niseko Grand Hirafu Ski Resort is a decent sized ski area with 30 marked trails and 12 lifts. These include a gondola and 3 quad chair lifts. Otherwise the lifts are crappy old double chairs, and there’s also the infamous pizza box chair lift at the top which often attracts some ridiculous lift lines.
There are several red runs for intermediates and short black runs that tend to bump up rather quickly.
Hirafu Ski Resort offers some great off-piste skiing, including fabulous tree skiing and more open off-piste terrain. A little sidecountry skiing is on offer out gate 9 whilst the terrain to skiers’ right of Hirafu Ski Resort is out of bounds. The Niseko An’nupuri peak is accessed from Hirafu and provides more slackcountry as well as backcountry over the back of the resort.
Grand Hirafu is inter-connected via the slopes and lifts to Hanazono and Niseko Village and then onto Niseko Annupuri so a Niseko United lift pass provides access to additional terrain.
