HANAZONO ZIPFLIGHT

Soar through the vast wilderness of Niseko on one of Japan’s largest and fastest zipline attractions.

Last update :

This zipline attraction is located within the “Niseko Hanazono Resort” in Kutchan Town, Abuta District, Hokkaido. The zipline offers sweeping views of Mt. Yotei and is popular for its thrilling aerial experience. The attraction consists of three ziplines, with a total ride distance of 2,591 meters.

The courses increase in difficulty as you go: starting with the beginner-friendly “MACH 1,” then progressing to “MACH 2” and “MACH 3.” The entire experience takes around 90 to 120 minutes, including preparation. The most thrilling ride is “MACH 3,” the longest zipline in Japan at 1,700 meters, reaching speeds of over 110 km/h. It provides the most exhilarating experience of the three.

The zipline features a dual-line setup, allowing guests to fly solo or ride side-by-side with friends or family while taking in the majestic scenery of Niseko. A gondola takes you close to the starting point near the summit. Helmets and protective goggles are provided free of charge, and thorough safety instruction is included, so even first-timers can participate with peace of mind.
