Renting your gear right at the Niseko ski resorts means you won’t have to carry your equipment on the bus or worry about transport arrangements. If anything doesn’t fit or is damaged, you can easily swap it on the spot! For the most convenient rental experience in Niseko, we recommend the Hirafu and Annupuri rental shops (please refer to the official website for the most up-to-date information).
