About Annupuri

Annupuri is the quiet side of Niseko, at the foot of the Annupuri International Ski Area. Lift lines are short, a single gondola takes you within one short lift of the summit, and the gated off-piste terrain is easy to reach. The wide, gentle runs and beginner lifts also make it a calm place to learn. After a day on the slopes, onsens, a few restaurants and bars are within reach, and Hirafu is a short shuttle ride away.
