Niseko Annupuri Kokusai Ski Area

Niseko Annupuri Kokusai is a compact, welcoming resort that serves as the accessible alternative to its busier neighbour Niseko United. With a 756-meter vertical drop and 13 runs across varied terrain, it offers genuine variety despite its modest size. The mountain attracts a mix of intermediate skiers and families seeking a more relaxed atmosphere without sacrificing quality snow—Hokkaido's famous powder is reliably deep here. Six lifts move visitors efficiently, and the base sits at a comfortable 400 meters. Annupuri shines brightest during December through February when snowfall is most consistent. Ideal for those wanting authentic Niseko powder without the crowds or premium prices.
