INDEX
What is Niseko Annupuri (Hokkaido) like?
13 courses to satisfy everyone from families and beginners to advanced skiers
With many wide, medium-sized slopes, it's perfect for comfortable cruising on groomed runs. Because the slope changes little, it's especially recommended for skiers aiming to become intermediate or advanced skiers. It's also popular with backcountry enthusiasts, and the dedicated gate at the top allows for smooth access to the adjacent unmanaged area
Night skiing at Niseko Annupuri is also popular. The dynamic course with a maximum gradient of 33° is open at night, so if fresh snow falls during the day, you can enjoy steep and powdery slopes at night. There are also many high-quality hot spring accommodations in the surrounding area, so visiting hot springs is another way to enjoy the area
