The village of Hirafu looks set to continue it’s transformation into a world class ski resort with the announcement of a brand new 8-person, high speed gondola, replacing the current Hirafu gondola! The new gondola will not only cut the trip down down to under 5 minutes, but also feature a brand new base station including a restaurant and kids centre!

This, along with the planned Hirafu main street upgrades and beautiful new developments such as ‘Shiki’, shows that the enthusiasim which you, the international ski community, have shown for Niseko is bringing plenty of exciting changes for the area!
