Meet the Sky Sheep

This summer, we welcomed some adoable new friends - sheep!
Three fluffy sheep are now peacefully spending their days with the breathtaking Mt. Yotei as their backdrop.

When visiting Hanazono, don’t miss the chance to ride the Summer Gondola and meet our “Sky Sheep” at the top of the mountain!

Mt. Yotei × Sheep=The Perfect Photo Spot

Take a photo with our friendly sheep with the majestic Mt. Yotei in the background — it's the perfect memory to take home from your time in Hanazono! This charming photo spot has quickly become a favorite among families with kids.

Relax and Be Soothed

Watch them munching on grass or just lazing around in the meadow. Their fluffy, gentle presence will warm your heart. Sometimes they’ll even walk up to you with a friendly “baa!”
If you’re lucky, you might even catch a staff-led feeding session.

Chill Out in a Hammock

You’ll also find cozy hammocks swinging in the cool shade.
It’s the perfect spot to read a book, take a nap, or simply relax. Surrounded by crisp mountain air, it’s a true luxury escape from everyday life.

Picnic in the Sky

Make your mountain time even more special with "Picnic in the Sky"!
This set includes a gondola round-trip ticket, light snacks and drinks packed in a cute basket, plus a picnic sheet — everything you need for a carefree picnic in nature.

Freshly Brewed Coffee on the Mountain

For coffee lovers, we recommend the Rental Picnic Set available at Café Hanazono 308.
It comes with beans from Kutchan’s local coffee shop SPROUT, freshly ground and hand-dripped right on the mountain.
The rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee, paired with Niseko’s natural beauty, is pure bliss.
