Visiting Japan during its ski season is one of the most coveted winter travel experiences in the world — and when award space opens up at one of Hyatt’s most premium ski resorts, it’s worth paying attention.

Right now, there’s widespread award availability at the Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono, including dates that fall squarely within peak ski season. If you’ve been sitting on a healthy stash of World of Hyatt points and dreaming of powder days, this is one of the best-value redemptions you’ll find in Japan.

Let’s take a look.

Book the Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono With Points

As Hyatt’s top-tier luxury brand, Park Hyatt properties are known for elevated service, thoughtful design, and incredible locations — and Niseko is no exception.

The Park Hyatt Niseko Hanazono is widely regarded as the most luxurious ski resort hotel in Japan, offering ski-in/ski-out access, Michelin-starred dining, and a refined après-ski scene.

We’re seeing standard award nights starting at 45,000 World of Hyatt points per night in March, which is prime time for Niseko. March typically delivers excellent snow conditions but less of the extreme crowds seen earlier in the season, making it a sweet spot for skiers.

Even better, early April award nights are priced as low as 40,000 points per night. Snow conditions remain very good during this period, especially in Niseko, which is renowned for having one of the longest and most reliable ski seasons in Japan.

Considering cash rates often soar well north of $1,000 per night during peak ski season, these redemptions can deliver exceptional value for World of Hyatt points.

How To Find Award Availability

The easiest way to spot this award space is by using MaxMyPoint, a popular tool for tracking hotel award availability. A quick calendar view shows that more than half of the dates in March 2026 have multiple standard room nights available, with April largely open — a rarity at a high-demand Park Hyatt.

Once you’ve identified your dates, you can redeem World of Hyatt points online. Availability can disappear quickly, especially as ski season plans firm up, so flexibility is key.
