Niseko Grand Hirafu is a large ski resort in the central commercial district of Niseko, where lodging, restaurants, and shops are concentrated. Its courses range from powder and tree runs to groomed carving sections. On clear days, Yotei-san is visible from the summit, and the runs are divided by difficulty from beginner courses to black diamond courses. Many visitors come, so lifts stop and the area gets more crowded, and prices nearby are high.
