Hirafu is the main tourist area, located at the base of the Hirafu ski zone, where 90% of the people who visit ‘Niseko’ will stay.
Hirafu is fairly compact with everything located within a relatively short walk of everything else and has a wide variety of ski and snowboard shops plus some Japanese craft stores.
Inspired by traditional Japanese machiya architecture, 'The Village' is Niseko Village's main pulse where paved intimate walkways are flanked by contemporary shopping and dining.
