The gondola and mountain bike course will open on 13 July and run through 23 September from 9am – 4pm.
Tickets prices start at JPY1,200 (US$8) for a single adult gondola lift, continuing to a four hour pass at JPY3,500 (US$23.33) and an all day pass for JPY5,000 (US$33.33).

In reopening summer gondola service and designing the mountain bike course, Grand Hirafu Resort joins many other companies and organisations that are developing Niseko green season activities.
On 16 September, NAMBA (Niseko Area Mountain Bike Association) opened the Twin Peaks Bike Park, a 12.5km mountain biking course that is meant to be the first part of an eventual masterplan that hopes to connect the area’s five ski resorts, as well as housing developments and nearby towns, with trails.

Two Michelin Starred Chefs Join to Serve French Cuisine
méli mélo -Yuki No Koe- presents “HokkAsia”, an exciting new creative space allowing chefs to be stimulated, merging the cultures of Hokkaido and Asia through collaborative dishes and dining experiences.
The inaugural residency kicks off on 24 February with two special Four Hands Dinners featuring the brilliance of Michelin Star Chef Kawano Masahiko from Chaleur in Singapore and Hokkaido’s very own Michelin virtuoso Chef Sato Hironori, as well as Singapore inspired dishes in the daily a la carte menu.
The second part of series celebrates the culinary inspirations of Malaysia with Chef Lee and Chef Yong; the regionally acclaimed up and coming chefs and owners behind ‘Eat and Cook’ restaurant in Kuala Lumpur. The week is topped off with a gastronomic fusion of dishes with a Six Hands Dinner with Chef Sato Hironori.
The Japanese word “eat” is comprised of the characters “human” and “better”, which implies “eating makes people better”. We certainly wouldn’t disagree with that! At Setsu Niseko, we dive into a world of culinary mastery as we welcome some of Asia’s top chefs to experience Hokkaido; encounter the people, explore the culture, and discover local ingredients and create unforgettable new culinary delights.
Through hokkAsia’s series of Chef’s Residencies, they invite you to savour a collection of “umami” packed dishes created to excite each of your five senses. Each residency runs for a limited one-week period and features a specially curated week long menu inspired by the country of our guest chef, alongside an exclusive Four or Six-Hands Dinner experience that celebrates the art of gastronomy.
The first two chapters of hokkAsia commence in February and March with Executive Chef Kawano from the one-Michelin star restaurant Chaleur in Singapore closely followed by two incredible young talents from Malaysia who have been making waves steadily climbing the ladder of Asia’s Best Restaurants and featured in the 2023 Michelin Guide. Read on to discover more about the first chapter hokkAsia below.
