Rhythm Japan Launches New Website
Japan’s most comprehensive ski and snowboard rental and retail store, which has multiple shop fronts across Niseko and Hakuba, has given its website a complete overhaul. The site now includes an easy-to-use calculator that works out the cost of rental packages quickly and easily, along with an interactive ‘Book Now’ button so customers can begin renting from any page on the site and a weather report plugin that covers Niseko and Hakuba.
By using the calculator, customers are just two clicks away from finding out the cost of their ski or snowboard rental. They can easily select their desired package and the number of days they wish to hire for and then the calculator will do the rest.
The interactive ‘Book Now’ button appears on each page of the site so customers don’t have to navigate back and forth to book their gear.
When clicking on the weather plugin, users are given a snapshot of what the weather will be like over the next five days at key locations including Niseko, Hakuba and the Snowy Mountains in NSW, Australia which is where Rhythm’s Australian store is located.
The site also comes with a brand-new look, including fresh, high resolution images and simple navigation buttons. Visitors to the site will find plenty of useful information about skiing and snowboarding in Niseko and Hakuba. There are also links to Rhythm’s partner stores including Rhythm Summit, Boot Solutions and Zaka Niseko. And, of course, there is plenty of information about our rental and retail range so customers can make informed decisions before they enter our doors in Niseko and Hakuba.
Be sure to keep up to date with all of Rhythm Japan’s news by checking out our blog and news pages! You can also sign up to Rhythm’s newsletter and be the first to find out about special deals, sales and snow conditions.

2017-18 Night Skiing Opening
Enjoy the magic of night skiing during your visit!
Niseko United has announced that the Night Skiing will commence on December 9th, 2017 and end on March 18th, 2018.
Business hours will be as follows:
- Non Night Skiing period: 8:30 to 16:30 (8:30 to 16:00 in Hanazono Area)
- During Night Skiing period: 8:30 to 20:30 (8:30 to 20:00 for Niseko Village. 8:30 to 16:00 in Hanazono Area)
Don't miss out on the chance to enjoy gliding on the slopes under the light! Unlike other ski resorts where night skiing is just for beginners, at Niseko, the evenings are for powder hounds, too! The area that is lit up is extensive, so it’s possible to enjoy many advanced areas and avoid the daytime crowd. After a little après ski action, it can be incredibly surreal bouncing around in the fresh powder under the lights.
Gloorious Cafes Get A Brand-new Look
Nothing kicks off a morning in the mountains quite as nicely as an invigorating cup of specially brewed coffee! Gloorious cafes are located inside Rhythm Japans’ stores in both Niseko and Hakuba. The cafes have been given a fresh look to reflect the harmonious partnership between winter activities and caffeine. Check out the new logo!
The cafes have also partnered with a new supplier, Allpress Espresso. Allpress has been chosen because of its consistently smooth and inviting blend. Allpress beans are roasted using the Hot Air Roast Method, which elevates natural sweetness and gives lasting flavour.
At Gloorious all our baristas take pride in crafting balanced, delicious cups of coffee, tailored to the specific tastes of each customer. So whether you enjoy a cappuccino, a flat white, a mocha or a soy milk double shot long macchiato with half a sugar, our Gloorious baristas will serve you with a smile.
You’ll find Gloorious just through the doors of both Rhythm’s shops, which are located on the main intersection in Niseko and next to the Mominoki Hotel in Wadeno, Hakuba. Gloorious is the ideal place to meet friends before you head out for the day skiing or snowboarding, or if you want to enjoy a pick-me-up as you’re exploring the towns.
Gloorious also serves hot chocolates, a range of teas including chai and babycinos for the mini-shredders. You’ll also find an assortment of tasty sweet treats to fuel you as you enjoy the mountains and the streets of Niseko and Hakuba!
We look forward to seeing you this season.
Love from the Gloorious Team.
