While Niseko is globally recognized for its winter powder snow, the region’s green season reveals a landscape of dense forests and open fields. Niseko Northern Resort, Annupuri is highlighting this seasonal transition with the introduction of hot air balloon stay plans. These experiences allow guests to view the sunrise-lit terrain and the silhouette of Mt. Konbu from an altitude of approximately 30 meters, providing a 360-degree perspective on the Hokkaido wilderness.
A Safe and Serene Experience for All Generations
The hot air balloon flights are conducted in a moored style, where the craft is secured by ropes to ensure stability and controlled ascent. To prioritize safety and calm conditions, operations are scheduled during the quietest periods of the day, with morning sessions from 6:30 to 7:00 and afternoon sessions from 16:30 to 17:00. This gentle approach makes the activity accessible to a wide range of guests, from young children to seniors, offering a still environment for travel photography and a sensory connection to the morning air.
Curated Stay Plans for a Complete Resort Experience
To integrate the aerial activity into a broader resort stay, the property has introduced two dedicated accommodation packages. Guests can choose a bed-and-breakfast option that includes access to the resort’s natural onsen (hot spring), or a more comprehensive plan featuring both breakfast and dinner. These packages are designed to blend outdoor exploration with the resort’s culinary offerings, providing a seamless transition from the early morning flight to the evening’s gourmet dining.
