Niseko HANAZONO Resort
ニセコHANAZONOリゾート
The northernmost ski area of Niseko United, with excellent tree powder and a children's ski school. In summer, it has one of Hokkaido's longest zip lines.
HANAZONO Resort sits on the northeast side of Grand Hirafu. Its slopes are gentler and less crowded than those at Hirafu. The tree-powder areas and beginner zones are popular, and at the base of the ski area are a Park Hyatt hotel and the Garden 308 restaurant. The children's ski school has an excellent reputation. In summer, the resort becomes an outdoor activity base offering a 2.5-kilometer zip line, a treetop adventure course, river rafting on the Shiribetsu River and mountain biking. Lift tickets are valid on the Niseko United all-mountain pass. The resort is about 10 minutes' drive from central Hirafu, and free shuttle buses run during ski season.
