Stay in luxury

Hilton Niseko Village

Perhaps the reason that many visitors choose to stay in the Niseko Village area during their holiday is the accommodation options. Niseko Village has no shortage of luxury lodging, and the most well known is the Hilton Niseko Village. Positioned just a few steps away from the ski lifts, the 499-room Hilton Niseko Village offers guests a true ski-in ski-out experience with all the amenities you would expect from a Hilton Hotel. Complete with a large natural onsen and delicious dining options, the Hilton Niseko Village always receives rave reviews. Just next door is the award-winning Green Leaf Niseko Village, housing a private onsen and 200 contemporary styled rooms. Other options include Kasara Niseko, a sophisticated townhouse with premium styling that’s perfect for groups or families. Brand new for winter 2019-20 is Hinode Hills Niseko Village. Located just below the ski lifts, these beautifully designed apartments feature wabi-sabi aesthetics that gain power from the surrounding nature. Coupled with premium services, Hinode Hills is a hot new option for your next stay in Niseko.

The ski resort at Niseko Village is another reason to stay in the area, as there is plenty of terrain suitable for all levels of skiing and snowboarding. For beginners, there is a cozy gondola that lets you fully relax on your way up to the easier groomed runs. Niseko Village also runs its own ski school full of passionate instructors, so you can focus on your progression. Advanced skiers and snowboarders can find some of the best snow and steepest terrain in Niseko United resort boundaries!

Summer fun

Niseko Village is also a hub for summer activities in the Niseko area. A highlight would be the Niseko Village Golf Course. Year after year it is named “Japan’s Best Golf Course” in the Wolrd Golf Awards! The green season also features PURE at Niseko Village – a nature activity center with a surprising variety of fun things to do in Niseko’s gorgeous summer. Tree trekking, horseback riding, zip line, mountain biking, and hot air balloon riding are just a few!

New Developments

Niseko Village has grand plans for continued development as Niseko becomes a premier all-season travel destination in Asia. A Ritz Carlton Reserve is being built at the base of the resort and is slated to open its doors in December 2020. This is one of the few Ritz Carlton Reserves in Asia and is another reason why Niseko is one of the fastest-growing all-season destinations in Asia.
