Swatch Nines heads to Japan

October 17, 2025

It’s official: Swatch Nines is landing in Asia. After 22 editions in Europe, the iconic event series is heading to the powder capital of the world Niseko, Japan, for its first-ever stop on the continent.

From 6–11 April 2026, Niseko Tokyu Grand HIRAFU, known as a deep snow paradise, will turn into a freestyle playground. Niseko receives a legendary amount of snow during the winter months, and the Nines plan to take full advantage creating a set up that will push both halfpipe and big air riders. No doubt the set-up will be wild, progression-focused and creative.

The usual suspects of the world’s best will be invited to session, alongside skaters who will ride an integrated skate park—in true Nines style.

With all that snow to work with, it’s exciting to think what the Swatch Nines will think up.
