While the end of season may be approaching, there’s always the next winter season to look forward to. A new season in Niseko always brings about new things to look forward to – just like this winter’s newly opened Ace Gondola or the newly renovated Sanshoku on the second floor of the Grand Hirafu Mountain Centre.
Mountain Upgrades
For the 2025-26 Winter Season, Niseko Tokyu Grand Hirafu will be making two revamps: a new restaurant on the second floor of the Ace Gondola summit station, and a new 6-seater chairlift that will replace King Quad Lift #3’s 4-seater chairlift, complete with heated seats and a beginner and children-friendly loading carpet design at the lift station.
With the upgrade from a 4-seater to a 6-seater, the lift will increase capacity by up to 600 more passengers per hour. It’s expected that this upgrade will accommodate the growing crowds that flock to Niseko every winter and ease traffic congestion at the lifts.
