As Niseko-Hirafu continues to be one of the best ski resorts in the world, there are a lot of exciting projects happening around town. Here is a round up.

Skye Niseko will be the first privately owned condominium hotel located at the top of Hirafu village. Once completed, it will be the largest ski-in ski-out accommodation with the highest altitude in the Hirafu area, allowing guests to enjoy a panoramic view of Niseko-Hirafu and Mt Yotei. Skye Niseko is one of the most anticipated projects coming to Niseko in late 2018, with bookings now open.
