Hanazono

Smallest, newest Niseko base: terrain park and family-ski-school focus.

Hanazono is the quietest of Niseko's four bases, on the eastern shoulder of the mountain just north of Hirafu. The village is small (a Park Hyatt and a handful of newer chalets cluster around the Hanazono 1 chairlift base), and the lift sector is best known for the area's main terrain park and family ski-school operations. Connected to Hirafu and the wider Niseko United network via the upper lifts.
