Niseko Central Accommodation

Some seek peace & tranquillity from their stay but for others, the hustle and bustle of ski village life is the quintessential Niseko experience.

Fresh sushi, hot sake, wagyu steak, cold beer; immerse yourself in the sights, sounds & smells of central Niseko.

Where is the centre of Niseko?

There are four ski villages at the base of the Niseko ski resort – Hirafu, Hanazono, Niseko Village and Annupuri.

Hirafu is the largest village in the Niseko area with the biggest selection of bars, restaurants and shopping and the widest selection of accommodation, from 5-star luxury to simple family-run lodges.

Being in the thick of it in Niseko really means the Middle Hirafu and Upper Hirafu neighbourhoods.

They are the beating heart of Niseko.
