Definitely a great mountain with loads of terrain, even on the weekends when it's busy there is space to spread out. The newly opened restaurant at the top of Kitaone lift is worth a visit, it was delicious.

Goryu is our favourite spot in Hakuba so far - purely subjective - yes! Night skiing was great too. To top up our skiing each day, we'd finish up with Yogorino - yogurt 'ice-cream' in a waffle-cone - oiiishiii!

Merry is extremely patient, talented and wonderful! My fiance and I had a 4 hours private lesson with him and he paced it amazingly well, constantly correcting our form, technique, supporting us and giving us useful tips and encouragement as and when we needed it.

We spent the morning there and went to Goryu in the afternoon when the snow got slushhy (bad luck with the weather). If you want a spot with little to no queues + less tourists, this is the place to be. the runs are wide with a view - perfect for skiiers of all level who want a good practice if you don't mind having less choices of runs compared to 'standard resorts'.

Enjoy a vast variety of snow sports with extensive spectacular ski slopes Many skiers and snowboarders visit Hakuba in winter, which turns into a fantastic white world. However, Hakuba Iwatake is somehow misunderstood as a "small snow resort" seemingly due to the fact that the mountain peak cannot be seen from the base. In fact, Hakuba Iwatake is the snow resort with the only independent peak (1,289 m in altitude) in the area that allows courses speads to all directions and the 360 ° panorama scenery. There are a variety of 26 courses that skillfully utilize the natural terrains spreading east, west, north and south.Besides skiing and snowboarding, you can also enjoy various snow sports such as cross country skiing and snowshoing.

Having now enjoyed the Iwatake Snow Field over the last two seasons; multiple runs to cater for the range of ability within our tour group; two cafeterias with an extensive menu at the top and bottom of the mount, clean facilities, a gondola and multiple lifts, a cafe with sensational views and super friendly, helpful staff make for a simply wonderful skiing experience.
