Rails, riders, and a blast of vibes. Niseko's signature jib event, Rhythm Rail Jam, is back in 2026, bigger than ever. With over 4,000 spectators watching, this event showcases some of Niseko's most exciting rail sessions. The 2026 edition will be more than just an annual event; it will be the biggest evolution in the event's history.

As always, the venue will be the iconic freeride park at Niseko Tokyu Grand Hirafu. This year, the event will see an official partnership with the world-renowned creative collective, Nines! By working on part of the course design, the event will deliver unprecedented levels of jibing.

As part of this historic collaboration, all competitors will have the opportunity to be selected for the chance to compete in the Swatch Nines finals. This is an extremely valuable opportunity to reach the world's highest level. The day will also feature a fantastic raffle, food trucks, pop-up bars, DJ performances and other non-riding activities. There's no doubt that this will be the day of the most extreme and beautiful lines in the history of Niseko's park scene.
