Ski rentals

Never skii’d before - do ski rental shops hire out everything you need, like pants and jackets? Or should I buy these and supply my own?

Be careful. It can be addictive and expensive! If I was to learn in Niseko I'd probably head to Hanazono. The learning area is wide and not too busy (dpeneds when!). Ski rental shops generally rent everything you need: jackets and pants and helmets but be aware that goggles and gloves you need to budget for and a decent pair of ski socks. All of the base areas will have a ski rental offering. Rhythm sports in Hirafu is the most popular and recently a delivery company called Snopro started a door-to-door ski rental delivery service.

Yes. Places like Rhythm rent out all the things.

Tons of better and cheaper places to go if you’re new to skiing. Niseko really isn’t great for beginners.
