First Time in Niseko - how does powder skiing actually work here? On-Piste or off-piste? Avalanche kit needed?

We’re coming to Niseko (Hirafu) next February. I’m not entirely sure how the ski resort works, though. We’re actually hoping to hit the powder. What’s the situation exactly? Is it a normal ski slope with so much snow that you can ski in the powder easily, or do you have to go off-piste? Is it worth getting an avalanche rescue kit?
Thanks so much for your replies!
