About Niseko United

Niseko United is Japan's most internationally renowned ski destination, comprising four interconnected resorts — Annupuri, Hirafu, Hanazono, and Niseko Village — on the flanks of the dormant volcano Mount Niseko Annupuri on Hokkaido. The resort is globally famous for its extraordinary powder snow: Siberian storms drop an average of 15 metres of ultra-light, dry powder each season, drawing expert skiers and freeriders from Australia, North America, and Europe in pursuit of conditions that are genuinely unmatched outside Japan.
