Introducing Niseko Tokyu Grand Hirafu's recommended course, weather forecast, live camera, and course map
Niseko Tokyu Grand Hirafu (Hokkaido) is such a ski resort
Niseko No. 1 for various course variations and night games
Located in the center of Niseko, there are 22 courses that are the best in Niseko, from courses that are ideal for powder runs to grooming (compacted snow) where you can enjoy high-speed turns. All of the courses are designed with a variety of slopes and undulations, and even advanced skiers will find plenty of slickness.
Although the course doesn't have a name, it has a large number of tree run points. The feature is that you can enjoy the tree run according to each ski level anywhere you can enjoy it even on the side of the course.
Another feature of Grand Hirafu is the night game. Japan's largest in both course area and variation. Skiing Niseko's fresh snow that continues to fall at night is fantastic and lifts your spirits. Night skiing at Grand Hirafu further enhances the appeal of Niseko.
'23-24 season topics
Hirafu Gondola's night skiing operation is back!
This season, the Hirafu Gondola night race is back for the first time in 4 years! Grand Hirafu's night skiing is one of the largest in Japan, and you can ski on a big, illuminated field. Thanks to Niseko's never-ending snow, the deep powder ride that can only be experienced at night is once again possible.
The freeride park is also back. This season will be a happy comeback season.
Thank you Center for Lift!
The Ace 2nd Quadlift (commonly known as the Center Four Lift), which has been active and loved for 38 years, will close on March 31st of this season and will be reborn as the latest gondola in December 2024. Significant updates are expected, including the addition of features such as heated seats and Wi-Fi to the spacious 10-seater space.
Niseko Tokyu Grand Hirafu recommended course
・Large course
Maximum slope: 32 degrees Average: 19 degrees / Distance: 650m / Slope direction: East
Easily accessible from Niseko Tokyu Grand Hirafu's top lift, King No. 4. It is an open barn because the altitude is above the tree line. On a clear day, you can enjoy a spectacular view of Mt. Yotei.
・Miharashi course
Maximum slope: 32 degrees Average: 18 degrees / Distance: 880m / Slope direction: East
A reverse course that can be accessed by hiking about 5 minutes from the Hirafu Gondola. A representative course where you can enjoy a tree run on a course that runs through the forest. The terrain is very complicated, so it is difficult to capture, but it is a course that is worth the challenge. You can't talk about Niseko without skiing this course!
・Snow powder course
Maximum slope: 37 degrees Average: 21 degrees / Distance: 403m / Slope direction: East
This course is located directly below the Hirafu Gondola. Although it is very easy to access, the course with twists and turns can be transformed into anything with the imagination and ideas of the skier. This course is also recommended for first-timers in the morning. The gaze of the gallery on the gondola is also hot.
