Home to some of the lightest and most reliable powder snow in the world

Kiroro has earned an international reputation for its incredible powder snow and long, reliable winter season.

At the same time, its wide, well-maintained slopes, modern facilities, and welcoming atmosphere make it an excellent choice for families and skiers of all ability levels.

 

As one of Hokkaido's larger resorts, Kiroro offers plenty of terrain to explore while maintaining a more relaxed feel than many of the region's busiest destinations. Whether you're taking your first turns or searching for fresh powder, our English-speaking instructors and guides are here to help you make the most of your day on the mountain.
