Kiroro Ski Resort: 7 Stunning Photos That’ll Convince You To Ski in Hokkaido

Skiing is a must if you visit Japan in wintertime. And while you can definitely take a day trip from Tokyo to ski, the best powder is in Hokkaido, hands down. With ski season almost upon us, I’m sharing 7 stunning snow photos from Kiroro Ski Resort.

I’ve wanted to visit Kiroro for a while, having heard good things about it. Like Rusutsu, Kiroro is less touristy than Niseko. This ski resort has a good ratio of greens to reds to blacks. And there’s a pleasant green that runs all the way from the top of the mountain — perfect for beginners who don’t want to keep taking the lift and for families taking things slowly.
