Winter Approaches at The Annupuri Lodge in Niseko

The first snowflakes have already started falling on Niseko Annupuri, signaling that the long-awaited ski season is right around the corner. La Nina is here and early storms have blanketed the back bowls and off-piste gates with a promising layer of white, setting the stage for another legendary season of Japow. Unlike the heavier snow found further south in places like Hakuba, Niseko’s unique climate creates the light, dry powder that skiers and snowboarders dream about. Each turn feels effortless, each face shot pure bliss.

We’ve also made some major renovations at Annupuri Lodge this year — new beds, improved facilities, and upgraded common areas — while keeping the same warm, convivial lodge atmosphere our guests know and love. It’s the perfect mix of comfort and camaraderie after a day exploring the gates and deep snow of Annupuri.

Peak powder season fills quickly every year, so don’t wait — book now for Japow and experience the magic of Niseko at its best!
