Premier Ski Destination
Niseko United Resorts, Hokaiddo
Niseko United is widely regarded as Japan’s best ski destination. Comprised of four interconnected resorts, Niseko offers world-class terrain, with Grand Hirafu standing out as the region’s main village and the centre of Niseko’s dining, nightlife, accommodation, and ski culture.
Renowned globally for its exceptional night skiing, Niseko allows guests to enjoy perfectly groomed slopes and fresh powder well into the evening — a truly unique alpine experience.
Experience the legendary “Japow” — Niseko’s famous light, dry powder snow, often described as skiing on champagne. With more than 16 metres of annual snowfall, fresh tracks and deep powder conditions await daily.
Planning a longer stay in Japan? Why not extend your alpine experience by attending the AMPED Conference at the neighbouring Hanazono Resort in the week prior to Flying Penguins.
Conference Location
Midtown Niseko Hotel
Midtown Niseko is conveniently situated less than five minutes from the ski lifts and offers complimentary shuttle services to both the Hirafu and Hanazono ski resorts. The Niseko United Resort Shuttle also stops directly outside the hotel, providing seamless access across the mountain.
Delegates may also choose from a wide range of nearby accommodation options, including popular favourites such as Chatrium Niseko (4-star), Setsu Niseko (5-star), and an extensive selection of private apartments and chalets.
As one of the world’s fastest-growing ski destinations, Niseko experiences exceptionally high demand during peak season. Early accommodation bookings are strongly recommended, as prices increase significantly closer to the event.
