Hanazono Zipline Japan offers the thrill of flying safely over Japan’s mountains, perfect for families and adventure seekers alike. Flying is an experience like no other, and only a select few ever feel the true sensation of actually soaring through the air. These adventures are for the bold – those who skydive, base jump, bungee jump, or speed fly. Gliding over mountainsides, through ravines, and above steep aprons gives an unmatched rush. These adrenaline-filled moments release endorphins that many call the best feeling in the world. But what if you could enjoy all these thrills without extreme risk and in a family-friendly environment? Now you can – Hanazono Resort in Japan has built the country’s biggest zipline, offering a safe yet exhilarating adventure for everyone.

Hanazono Resort in Niseko

Located on Japan’s northernmost island, Hokkaido, Hanazono Resort in Niseko is a premier destination. The area boasts world-class skiing and sees record-breaking snowfall almost every year. The slopes attract millions of visitors annually who come for the culture, the skiing, the mountain views, and the long list of activities Hanazono offers. In 2021 the resort underwent a massive renovation and remodeling, bringing new lifts, infrastructure, and a new wonder gondola. These additions bring new potential for access to the surrounding mountains in Niseko. Many views of the volcanic mountain ranges bring awe to guests visiting from all over the world.

Hanazono Zipline Design and Safety

As part of the renovations and development of Hanazono Resort, the new adventure course now includes two ziplines and one mega zipline. The design process that went into building this course was extensive. Many factors were analyzed to maximize safety, fun, and throughput. Skyline Ziplines managed the entire design process from site discovery through construction and installation.

The zipline cable sag between anchor points was engineered to withstand harsh mountain conditions. In addition, Skyline calculated the correct cable tension to ensure the braking system works flawlessly. As a result, riders enjoy the safest and most thrilling flying experience available.

Japan’s Longest Zipline – 1.8 km of Flight

In addition to several other attractions, Skyline’s adventure course includes Japan’s longest zipline. Riders can now experience a 1.8 km mega zipline that reaches speeds of up to 110 km/h. Accessible by chairlift, the zipline takes you down a valley to Niseko at the termination point of the mega zipline.

The design of this mega zipline considered multiple factors such as structural force analysis, rider velocities, and kinetic forces. Moreover, crosswind, headwind, and tailwind studies were carefully calculated. Snow build-up and seasonal changes were also taken into account. As a result, Hanazono Zipline Japan offers the safest and most exhilarating ride possible – a thrill comparable to wingsuit flying, but in a secure environment.

Skyline Ziplines Adventure Course

The adventure course designed, engineered, and installed by Skyline Ziplines takes riders on a once-in-a-lifetime journey through the volcanic mountains of Niseko. The course is a guided 90-minute experience that maximizes space, flying time, and unforgettable views. To finish the tour, riders fly Japan’s biggest zipline back to the village of Niseko.
