Hanazono

Hanazono is Niseko United’s easternmost ski area and is a base for a variety of off-mountain winter activities. From snowmobiling and cat skiing to snow tubing and guided snowshoeing tours, Hanazono is famous for its wide, open bowls, tree runs, terrain parks, and long, groomed runs with easy access to backcountry gates.

Boasting a huge range of outdoor activities for nature lovers, families, and thrill-seekers alike, Hanazono has easy access to river rafting, kayaking, cycling, a Kids Indoor Adventure center, and much more. Golf enthusiasts can enjoy the 18 hole golf course whilst taking in the spectacular view of Mount Yotei.

There are a number of accommodations available in the area around Hanazono resort. There are many chalets and houses available in the surrounding forests which are just a short distance from the resort. It is possible to walk to the resort from many of these accommodations, however, a rental car is recommended in many cases. The largest accommodation is the Park Hyatt; a luxury mountain retreat  located next to the base chairlift. The hotel features eleven restaurants, lounges and bars, spa and onsen facilities, indoor swimming pool, fitness center, concierge, and much more.
