History and feature of Niseko Moiwa Ski resort

Moiwa is known throughout Niseko as one of the ski resorts with the richest history, with its origins dating back to 1919.
In the beginning, Moiwa did not have lifts, so skiers would have to climb the mountain, taking hours.

Despite advances in technology and modern machinery, Moiwa remains mostly unchanged. Moiwa has the same abundant snowfall, the same exceptional snow quality, the same easy-to-ski mountain and the same grand view of Mount Yotei today, as it did when Moiwa opened a hundred years ago. Moiwa continues to lie on the most exquisite location, allowing its guests to fully enjoy the blessings of its surrounding nature.

Moiwa officially opened its doors as the Niseko Moiwa Ski Resort in 1966. From its first day of opening, Niseko Moiwa Ski Resort has charmed its visitors from both Japan and overseas due to its premium quality powder snow.

More recently, Moiwa has gained popularity among Australian and European skiers and snowboarders for its secluded slopes.

Moiwa’s beautiful natural environment remains untouched and separated from large resort developments. The people of Moiwa love the mountain and its surrounding nature. The staff welcome guests with the same warm hospitality as they have for the past 100 years.
