Niseko Village Ski Resort trail map
Niseko Village spreads over the eastern slopes of Mt. Niseko Annupuri and is one of the four resorts of Niseko United. It is known for Niseko's light powder and for long runs that weave through old-growth forest, the longest over 5 km. Gondolas reach high on the mountain; half the terrain is beginner-friendly, while strong riders can try Mizuno-no-Sawa, a patrolled, avalanche-controlled bowl opened through a gate. Luxury hotels such as Hilton and a Ritz-Carlton Reserve sit at the base with direct slope access, and a kids' club and multilingual ski school make it popular with international families.
