Kutchan Town is in the process of investigating and researching the public car parking situation in the Niseko Hirafu Area to determine the ideal design of how the parking areas should be redeveloped. One of the ideas is to turn what is currently a fee-free parking to a paid one. The Town would like to put this idea to a field test this 2023-23 Winter season, and would like to hold an Information Session to further explain the outline of the field test, hear opinions and comments from the local community, and also would like to collect any concerns the local community has about the parking and parking situations in the Niseko Hirafu area.

Trips by Rides offer a range of enticing options, catering to diverse preferences and interests. Whether it's the high-level instruction of the Niseko Progression Tour, the family-friendly amenities of the Ultimate Family Tour, the exhilarating backcountry adventures of The Japow Experience, or the skill-boosting Learn To Ride Taster, there's a package tailored for everyone.

"We're thrilled to unveil Trips packages, a true embodiment of our passion for the mountains and dedication to customer satisfaction," says Tareesa Straatmans - Rides Director at Rhythm Japan. "These curated packages allow guests to fully immerse themselves in the Niseko experience, while our expert team takes care of every detail."
