How to access the Hirafu Gondola
When the Ace Quad Lift #2 (Center 4) closes on April 2nd, you'll need to take the Hirafu Gondola to access the higher level slopes and terrain of Grand Hirafu.
Grab your skis or snowboard and hop on our Skye Niseko Shuttle Bus, which will conveniently drop you off right outside the Hirafu Gondola. The Shuttle Service runs on a 20-minute loop and is complimentary for all Skye Niseko guests.
