Niseko Hanazono Resort

Hanazono is the northernmost of Niseko United's four ski resorts, sitting on the ridge above Hirafu. Winter operations focus on long groomed cruisers, a beginner park, and three terrain park features, while summer runs an adventure park with ziplines, mountain biking, raft trips down the Shiribetsu River, and a sunrise hot-air balloon. Hanazono's gondola is the only one in Niseko that operates both seasons.
