May 22, 2021 Rosalyn Ihle

Nestled in the Northern Japan Alps, Hakuba is all about the winter sports. A top ski and snowboarding destination, Hakuba has plenty of snow and nearly perfect powder. Spend the day swooshing down one of the areas 200+ trails, then end with an après ski at one of the area’s cozy pubs or cafes. Local mineral hot springs make great soaking spots for weary muscles.

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!

Lots of variety and big when including Goryu side. Cheaper than Happone and less exposed, so less wind.

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.

Highly recommend visiting the Ski jumping arena in HAKUBA, only ¥500. You go in an internal chair lift that the athletes take to the top and view a great info room. Then get to see what the jumpers see from the top of the jump. Kids will love this. Enjoy
