Top 29 things to do and attractions in Hakuba-mura

The summer hike to the pond is amazing! View, fresh mountain air and lovely temp! Highly recommend the 3 cable cars and gondola to hike. However, the pond is still frozen though in June. Do prepare w rainy weather outfit!

Spent a few unforgettable days skiing at Hakuba and honestly, it exceeded all my expectations. The snow was perfect—powdery, fresh, and consistent every day I was there. The resort itself was super well-maintained, and the service was top-tier. Everyone was so helpful and welcoming, from the lift operators to the shuttle drivers.

Beautiful experience. We aimed to go to Happo ike but the weather was harsh and the last part of the 🚠 was closed. It was the last weekend of the season, so next year we'll try again 😉

Decided to come here during the summer instead of winter to avoid crowd rush and it was worth every penny. We had a lovely and relaxing time away from the summer heat with amazing views. The staffs are ofcourse awesome as usual!

A great spot for skiing and snowboarding during the winter. In the green season, it’s also perfect for hiking, with a completely different atmosphere. The scenery here is spectacular. As a tourist not here for skiing, I found the snow quite thick and a bit hard to walk through, but the views made it worth it. (Visited on 19 April 2025)

Best resort in Nagano area for advanced skiers. However the grooming is insufficient, when there is no new snow they should groom all pists and fix the moguls. When there is new snow they don't groom the pists at all, which is good but maybe a few runs could still be groomed? Gondola is rather efficient, if there is a long queue try the long sit lift at the very south/left of the resort which is very fast and not very occupied. However most of the lifts are outdated and not very interconnected, which causes you to easily get a bit stuck with a need to walk. They don't have singles queues so lifts are operating far from full potential, which makes the runs less crowded. Lockers available, food trucks for lunch at the bottom of the south/left runs.

They had a lot of snow . Nice to have an option for the gondola . Slopes are steep and narrow. Few restaurants options. Very close to rental sites. No problem if you don’t speak Japanese ( English everywhere) . Lifts with rental around $100

We booked an 1 hour session and it went quick so I'd recommend 2 hours. The private spa that we had only had one shower assembly but it sprayed water everywhere so it was difficult to wash. The spa next door had alot of people chatting away so it was less peaceful in that sense. You could take whatever drinks you want from their fridge and then pay after. The water was nice and warm and the view of the mountain was incredible.

My first onsen experience and it was so beautiful. We didn’t realise you had to book but luckily showed up just as a group left and got straight in for an hour of bliss. There was no sauna, just the onsen and ice bath, but the onsen was so hot a sauna wasn’t needed. Warm sake to seal the deal and then a walk back to town through the quiet streets. Perfection. Bring your own towels.

Stopped by this hot spring after a summer hike since it was the closest option. Noticed some people leaving after just seeing the facade, but I didn’t think much of it—I just wanted to freshen up before the drive home. Thats when I noticed the holes and gaps in the wall are as big as 1 yen coins. I took a closer look at one of the holes… and unexpectedly locked eyes with a man peeping from the other side. I’ll just say—enter at your own risk.

Beautiful spacious & most natural looking set up. Right under the sky ! It’s private booking for winter time. Water is very hot & you can rent out burning wood sauna for extra money. We enjoys everything. The only problem was that we arrived 15 min earlier for 12.30 booking & it was completely closed down. & considering it’s in the middle of the woods plz be aware. We had to wait over the bar up the street trying to reach them out. Unsuccessfully for 45 min. Strange unpunctuality for Japan. But we got in eventually & they added extra half for us to stay.

Enjoyed the outdoor experience here during a rainy day! But the faucet controls are old and don’t work well for washing up.

Petite hotspring surrounded by nature. Bring your own towel if possible, otherwise you have to rent towel here (300 yen for both face towel and big towel)

Such an incredible experience. So relaxing after a long week of skiing and it was so easy to organise, including getting there and back using their pick up/drop off service!

Hakuba Ski Jumping Stadium, located in Hakuba, Japan, is a remarkable destination for both sports enthusiasts and history buffs. Constructed in the early 1990s, this venue gained international prominence during the 1998 Winter Olympics, hosting ski jumping and Nordic combined events.  Visitors have the opportunity to ascend to the K-120 jump platform, which offers an awe-inspiring panoramic view of Hakuba and its surrounding landscapes. The vantage point from this outer observatory is truly breathtaking, providing a unique perspective of the area’s natural beauty.  Beyond the stunning vistas, the stadium houses a variety of displays and exhibits that delve into Olympic history. These include informative videos detailing ski jumping techniques, showcases of racing suits, and collections of Olympic medals and memorabilia. A particularly engaging exhibit features colorful posters from each of the 22 Winter Olympic Games, offering a visual journey through the evolution of this global event.  For those interested in experiencing the stadium firsthand, it’s conveniently located approximately a 15-minute walk from the center of Hakuba. The admission fee is modest, and the experience includes a chair lift ride and access to the observatory, making it both an educational and exhilarating excursion.  In summary, Hakuba Ski Jumping Stadium offers a compelling blend of breathtaking views and rich Olympic history, making it a must-visit attraction for anyone traveling to the Nagano region.

Beside being an impressive and historical sports venue (first gold medal in ski jumping for Japan), It's also a spot with a beautiful view. There's also a couple of galleries with memoribilia from The Nagano Olympics. Free parking on Site. You have to pay to get to the top by chair lift or stairs

The time seems to stand still at this place. I guess nothing at all has changed here since 1998, which is kind of interesting, too. You can feel the Olympic spirit here. Would love to see some athletes using it. Unfortunately there was no snow during the time we have visited this place :( Definitely worth a visit.

Went here as it is a short walk from town. It’s been 24 years since this venue was used for an Olympic event, the Hakuba ski jump is still clean, modern and in active use. Standing on top of the jump tower, viewing the surrounding area , looking into the Hakuba valley is an unforgettable experience.

The famous place where the 1998 Winter Olympic took place for Ski Jump. A must place to visit in Hakuba.

Great fun in the summer and the winter. There is an FIS world Cup event hosted in he summer and National university competitions in the winter. There are also some historical Olympic items from the 1998 Nagano games.

Amazing heritage of Nagano Olympic game in 1998.

Very pleasant experience. No lines everything quick and easy I got there on Thursday after skiing around 4pm not too crowded. I was alone in a hot spring for a while. Too bad that I have to bring my own towel for this price. This place is small but cosy and I think it was recently renovated because it’s seems clean and new. Nice experience watching sunset from hot spring ;)

great place to hang out and relax your body after ski! It’s around 850¥ but my friends and I shared the bulk purchase so it works out around 600¥ each pass. Free shampoo but towels arent free to rent.

The place to go after an exiting day of skiing. Soak in your muscles and forget all pain :) The hot water will bring back the energy which you need for a good & heavy dinner. The place is well maintained and very clean. Try to avoid peak hours after the lifts are closed. It can be very busy between 4 and 6 pm. We came around 6 pm and the bath was nearly empty.

Pretty crowded. Suggest to go after 7pm. Pretty average. They have one outdoor onsen and indoors. They don't provide milk lotion etc like other onsen places would. The resting area is very big though

I highly recommend after a ski day ! They are closing at 9pm, I was there at 6pm, the place was full, but I came back around 8pm and the place was empty ! There is one bath inside and one bath outside. This place is really peaceful and relaxing.

Excellent public onsen. Gorgeous mountain views from the outdoor onsen pool. There is also an indoor pool available The cost is 850 Yen. If you don't have a towel you can rent one or buy one for 250 Yen. There were only 5-10 people on Saturday 3pm. Not busy at all. Absolutely recommend 👌

The place is newly renovated with clean and modern facilities even though it’s exterior looks traditional. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash and hair dryer is provided at no additional charge. Traditional onsen feel with one indoor bath and one routenburo. The water was perfect for the rainy weather. The indoor bath was 40.5°, while the routenburo was 41.5°. On a clear day, you can view the mountains from the indoor bath. They also have a small tatami resting area where you can order some snacks and drinks. ¥800 per entry. Towels are available for purchase at ¥250 (with happo no yu design) and ¥350 for rental set, consisting of one large towel and one onsen towel (face towel size).

Peaceful spot for a walk 🚶

(Translated by Google) This church has a gallery for mountain photographers next to it. As you can see in the photo, the small church is not very spacious, but the garden is beautiful and soothing. It might be good as a photo spot. (Original) 隣に山岳写真家の方のギャラリーが併設されている教会です。 写真の通りこじんまりした教会は広さこそ無いもののお庭もきれいで癒やされます。 写真スポットとしても良いかも。

(Translated by Google) It is located in a forest on a plateau and has a nice atmosphere. Even if you are not a believer, it will give you a strange feeling. (Original) 高原の森の中にあり、よい雰囲気です。信徒でなくても不思議な気分にさせてくれます。

(Translated by Google) We had our wedding here. Butsumetsu in the middle of Golden Week (lol) The bell rang before the ceremony began, and when we exited the church after a stressful ceremony, we found a gallery of over 100 strangers! It's a good memory that I don't get to experience very often. (Original) ここで結婚式を挙げました。 ゴールデンウィーク真っ只中の仏滅（笑） 始まる前に鐘が鳴り、緊張しまくった式を無事に終えて教会の外に出ると100人を超える見知らぬギャラリーが！ なかなか体験出来ない良い想い出です。

(Translated by Google) It was a nice atmosphere. It was raining so they lent me an umbrella, which was helpful. (Original) 素敵な雰囲気でした。雨で傘も貸してくださり助かりました

(Translated by Google) Small and quiet It's hard to find the place though nice place (Original) こじんまりとして静かで 場所も分かりにくいけど 素敵な所

(Translated by Google) It's a cute church that I've dreamed of ever since I was a student, thinking, "If I'm going to get married, I want to have the ceremony here!" In the end, I became an old man without ever having a wedding, but it's still my favorite place. (Original) 学生の頃から「結婚するならここで式を挙げたい！」って憧れていた可愛い教会。 結局結婚式も挙げることなくオッサンになってしまいましたが、今でも好きな場所です。

I bought gloves here and after only one use they got completely destroyed. I had gloves before that served the same purpose (for the 1/3 of the price of those ones btw) from the same material (merino) so I know how they should behave. But those one got all ruffled. Very rude guy said that I've been using them wrong because they can be use only underneath, and when you are warm, you can't take off the main gloves and use only this one, because this guy said so :) so I'm left with gloves that looks completely worn out, and for 8000 yen...very disappointed by this situation and how it was handled by the staff (the rude guy)

2 Rhythm stores next to each other near Happo One. The retail store is small. The larger Rhythm with cafe is a further 5 min drive at Wadano. Great service from all staff as per usual.

The great staff are great! The rest are clearly holiday workers with little idea of what’s going on. We were served quickly and efficiently though with a very friendly assistant. Shuttle pick up and drop off was very convenient and appreciated. They can also pick up your rentals from your accommodation once you’ve left. Don’t expect too much in terms of retail products. We couldn’t even get something as simple as ski socks. Rental gear is of good enough quality.

The best by far! I was extremely elated at the professionalism of a staff who dealt with my ski boots (my bad, wasn't able to catch his name but I extended my compliments for him to the management when I returned the gears) He was shy but so focused on the fitness of the boots. For him, boots are one of the basics to enjoy skiing. Very patient and down-to-earth staff indeed. True enough, I never had any discomfort on my toes/ legs or whatsoever after a day of skiing. Most of the rental shops I've tried would just hand you over the gears and not even try to ask about the comfort of their customers. Overall, this shop offered great service and friendliness big time no matter how busy they were. Absolutely great!

Very quick & smooth experience here hiring premium skis, boots, poles, jacket & pants. I couldn't book online as it was within 48hrs but they kept the same prices as shown online, even gave a small discount thanks to a referral. There are reviews on other shops (Woody's & Spicey) that suggests they jack up the prices if you turn up without a booking so this was a relief. After check-in they do measurements. I had a quick discussion around foot width with a ginger fitting ninja and the second pair of boots I tried was actually more comfortable than my own! Nick helped out with my preferences for skis. Armada 194cm*108mm. Could have k2 enforcers which are excellent skis imo. The jacket & pants were good quality & warmer than I expected. And they refunded one day of hire out of three in cash because my stuff arrived earlier than expected. The coffee is also the best I've had in Hakuba.

Great rental shop. I love my rental service there except a less experienced staff try to stick my children on old carvers when I order performance skis for powder skiing ....otherwise great ! Pickup n drop off on the house . Lots of ski clothing n accessories for sale. Very busy place; friendly staff

I have been using Rhythm for a fast and easy ski rental service the last three years. They have a wide selection of skis, snowboards and boots for all levels. Located a few minutes walk from the Happo slopes, they as well provide a free drop off service to your hotel. You will also be able to buy any item (gloves, googles, etc) from high end brands (Oyuki, etc, Burton, etc).

The location of this campground is excellent. The views of the shadowing mountains are stunning and the access to local stores is just a short bike ride away. In terms of the actual facilities, considering what they are charging, the toilet facilities are pretty poor as is the kitchen facilities. It is 円2500 per campsite and pets were permitted. We did have power which may have explained the higher expense in comparison to other campsites we have stayed at. There are no showers and for those choosing to wash in the river, brace for very cold water. Onsen is nearby if you prefer.

This is a very basic, simple campground. There are charge points available and it is more natural than other facilities. The owner is very friendly and helped us find lost items. He drove back and forth helping us immensely! The location is beautiful, we were in section F, where the trees were very fragrant. My friend was so amazed by the smell. The onsen nearby is seriously good too, you have to try it while you stay here. This is a great spot for people who want to get away but need easy access, natural camping.

This campsite hasn’t improved since 5 years ago. People allow their dogs so bark all night and the grass is full of ticks and chiggers that go home with you on your tent. Steer clear of this place.

you will regret staying here. Seems like an ideal location, sadly Owners are VERY aggressive, rude, they literally yell at customers. We left. It’s dirty and not well kept. Not a safe place, especially for children. This area has MANY snakes.

Had barbeque there. Magic views!

Serenity.

Incredibly beautiful camping ground!

An interesting collection of woodblock printings and etchings by Marc Chagall. Very quiet and peaceful here. It won't take more than 30-40 minutes to go through, even if You watch the movie they show you at the entrance.

Closed in the winter. Reopens in late April

(Translated by Google) I went there expecting to see Chagall's lithographs, but was disappointed to learn that it would be closed from April to March of next year. It seems to be in disrepair and has been lent to another museum, or has it been closed down? (Original) シャガールのリトグラフを期待して行きましたが、なんと4月から来年の3月まで休館とのこと、がっかりでした。荒れた感じになっており他の美術館に貸し出し、もしくは廃館でしょうか？

(Translated by Google) Currently closed. I went there two or three times, and the content was very fulfilling. Chagall's works are all wonderful and soul-cleansing works, and I'm glad to be able to see them in Hakuba. It's a place of relaxation where you can relax while relaxing at a nearby pension. However, recently, many of the souvenir shops in Echoland have closed, and the new shops that have opened are mostly restless bars and snow sports equipment stores catering to young people and foreigners. The gelato shop nearby has also disappeared... As someone who doesn't play sports and just wants to spend a quiet time in Hakuba, I feel uncomfortable and lonely. I hope it opens soon. (Original) 現在休館中。 ２、3度ほど行きましたが、内容はとても充実していました。シャガールの作品は心が洗われる素晴らしい作品ばかりで、白馬で鑑賞できるのは嬉しいです。近くのペンションでゆったり過ごしつつ思い立ってフラリと寄れる憩いの場です。 しかし、このところ、エコーランドのお土産屋さんが軒並み閉店して、新しくできた店は若者や外国人向けの落ち着かない酒場やスノースポーツの用品店ばかりになってしまいました。近くのジェラート屋さんもなくなってしまったし…。 スポーツをやらず、静かに白馬で過ごしたい層としては居心地が悪く寂しい思いです。 早く開館してほしいです。

(Translated by Google) I just happened to stop by and enter. I started liking Marc Chagall. I've always been interested in museums, but I never had the chance to go, so I was a little nervous when my wife and I opened the door. When you first enter, Chagall's short movie I was asked if I would like to see it. I looked at it and was right. How did Chagall feel about this painting? If you know the writing or background Even though I have no knowledge of art, I enjoyed viewing the paintings even more. I like Magritte I also started liking Chagall. Apparently it will be closed until next year. It will be open again when I come to Hakuba. I would appreciate it if you could give it to me. (Original) ふらっと寄ってみて入ったら マルク.シャガールが好きになりました 元々美術館などは興味があったのですが中々行く機会がなく、少し緊張しながら妻と扉を開けましたが 最初に入るとシャガールの 短時間の映画を 見ませんかと言われて 見て正解でした。 シャガールがどんな気持ちでこの絵を 書いたとか背景を知ると 美術の知識などない自分でも より絵画鑑賞が楽しめました。 マグリットが好きなのですが シャガールも好きになりました。 来年までは閉館だそうなので また白馬に来た時には営業して 頂けたら幸いです。

(Translated by Google) It has become a temporary storage area for luggage due to renovation work at the nearby resort hotel Laforet Hakuba! It's not worth going. (Original) 近くのリゾートホテルラフォーレ白馬の改装工事の為の荷物の仮置き場になってしまいました！行く価値御座いません｡

(Translated by Google) Rich in lithographs by Marc Chagall. There are also slides about Chagall that are easy to understand. (Original) マルク・シャガールのリトグラフが充実。シャガールについてのスライドも見られ、分かりやすい。

Excellent hospitality and great accomodation for groups or family. Double floors with twin beds, double decker beds, washing machine and dryer, kitchen, dishwasher, expresso machine, living room area - very much like your own home, sited near forest with amazing fresh air and space to chill out. Onsen is within walking distance, so are the restaurants, Lawson and you can also go for jogging. Thumbs up and perfect place to be in for holiday.

Great chalet located so near to so many things. Went there recently to cycle at Iwatake and it was a short ride from Wadano Woods to the bike park. The chalet could fit so many of us and it was a pleasant stay with many facilities such as a bath, laundry (wash and dryer), a fully functioning kitchen. Location wise it is near to Lawson as a convenient store and you can head out to town to get groceries as well. Nearby you can find plenty of soba restaurants (do check/call first for reservation).

Not only was the accommodation exceptionally beautiful, but the customer service offered by Hakuba Hotel Group was world class. By far the most accommodating and professional people I have ever had the pleasure of dealing with. We will definitely be back (only for longer next time)!

The chalet was clean, spacious, comfortable and we had a great time! Location was also wonderful. We could go all the places we wanted to go within 5-10 minutes by car. We parked our car at the parking which is right there by the chalet, which made it very convenient for us. I loved the hand written welcome note from the staff. It was so sweet. The whole stay was like going to the summer house, just muuuuch better! Very comfortable and private, and the whole place smells like wood...so refreshing!! (A small tip about the bottom 2 bedrooms: I recommend to leave the doors open and the electric fans on even when you're not using, cuz when the doors closed and no fan on, they can get a damp smell.) First time in Hakuba, but people we met were all very friendly and nice. We enjoyed SUPing at the lake, going to Onsen, BBQing at the chalet, and visiting Iwatake with such a magnificent view. We definitely would like to come back again, and recommend you to go during the summer as well as the winter. Thank you for helping us making such a lovely memory!!

Top spot for the nearby lift and luckily there is ski hire and a great pub nearby, not so good if you want to move around hakuba, as transport in hakuba valley is messy and difficult.

Brilliant chalets in Wadano, perfectly situated near Hakuba and Happo One. Well-serviced luxury accommodation is a great touch to your skiing holiday. Washing machine and dryer, dishwasher, drying room for your ski gear, PlayStation for the kids and shuttle availability for shopping and restaurant bookings - very comfortable indeed!

The interior and rooms are very stylish. They have all the basic utensils for cooking as well as a rice cooker and coffee maker.

I had the pleasure of staying at the echoland apartments earlier this month. The apartments were absolutely perfect, modern, clean and extremely comfortable. The lovely underfloor heating was such a comfort after a long day on the mountain. Located in the heart of echoland, walking distance to loads of bars, restaurants and amenity - we had great options to consider each night. The snow was perfect too! Tereza was the best host I have dealt with over the years, so incredibly helpful and generous with her time showing us some great tips and even assisting when our train got stuck (too much snow) with other travel options. I couldn’t recommend this more highly!! I’ll be back next year with the extended family to hopefully book the whole building!! Thanks again for everything Tereza - we owe you!! Adam

We had a fabulous stay here. The apartment is well thought out with everything you need. Also very western friendly with a luxury fit out. Tereza, the hostess, is also what makes the stay so exceptional. She gave me so much time helping me get organized with our trip to Japan. I had no idea and it can be daunting going somewhere where the language is so different. She helped with so much and to name a few - which airport to fly into, how best to get to Hakuba with the train service, supermarket trips while staying there and just generally being so helpful. The apartment is so conveniently located too. 3 min walk to the bus stop to all the resorts and restaurants are all within a 5 min walk, the closest is 30m from the front door! Love this place and would definitely stay here again.

Amazing apartment accomodation with great host.

The premier accommodation destination in hakuba

We had a totally brilliant stay at Echoland Apartments in Hakuba. Tereza and Dean could not have been more helpful - from giving us assistance with bus schedules and restaurants - to even lending us a pair of outdoor après boots for the week. The 4 br apartment (unusual in Japan) is luxurious and spacious with everything you could possibly need including thick towels, comfy beds/pillows and our very own onsen. Delicious! Run don’t walk.

We went on the last day of the winter season. Luckily we didn’t rent the ski gear as the snow quality was great but we had a great time snow shoeing to Mount Kotomi. Unfortunately we didn’t get to the top as it was quite steep and slippery but with better gear it was totally doable. The views were breathtaking though !

went here for 2 days. The number of slopes you can go down is limited compared to other world-renowned resorts, but it was beautiful, fun, and the conditions were great. We got snow one day and a clear day the next so we got the full experience. 2 days is probably sufficient and after that I would recommend going to other resorts within the valley.

Very good ski place for beginners to learn. Slopes are wide and gentle. For experts this might be a little warm up place for you. Easiest ski mountain in the hakuba region.

Excellent resort part of the Hakuba Valley resorts. Plenty of gentle runs for beginners with enough more challenging runs for the experts. Linked with Hakuba 47 to extend the terrain. Great food options at Escal Plaza, which also has lockers for daytime and overnight hire. Buses leave from Escal plaza north and south bound to other resorts, these buses are included in your Hakuba Valley lift pass or you can buy a ticket when boarding. Most accommodation options are downhill from the Escal Plaza entrance but there is a local shuttle bus that can be used to and from the Plaza. This bus is free but can fill up fast. The walk up hill can be good to get the legs moving in the morning.

Hakuba Goryu is a fantastic resort for beginners, with wide, long trails perfect for learning and practicing the basics. What truly made my experience special, though, was the incredible staff. They were so friendly and helpful. When I missed the last bus back to my hotel, a traffic coordinator went above and beyond. He advised me to take the V1 shuttle to Omachi Onsenkyo. Thinking I had plenty of time, I returned to Escal Plaza about 15 minutes before the V1's scheduled arrival. To my surprise, the coordinator actually came into the plaza to find me and let me know the bus was there! This level of care and attention was truly moving and made my trip unforgettable.

Great day out on the snow fields. So many options since Goryu & Hakuba 47 are connected at the top lifts. Get there from 9-10am for a safety briefing if you want access to the off piste tree runs!!! And they only have a selected amount to offer daily! Great facilities for food and seating areas. LOVE their locker room set up and can use for the day! Just like Cortina (except cortina had less food options, but, go to a Lawson’s the night before and stock up vs paying high prices for low quality food options). Tsugaike, Goryu, Happo have similar food choices and options. Cortina had the least amount but TOP SKI FIELD! Fresh powder and tree runs there.

It has several beginner-friendly slopes with a beautiful view. You can purchase the ski lift pass online at a slightly cheaper rate; I got a 3-day pass for 18,500 yen. The chairlift is open from 8:00 to 16:30. Additionally, they offer sunrise and night skiing for an additional fee if you're interested.

Absolutely Incredible Snow Experience at Hakuba 47! Hakuba 47 Winter Sports Park completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment we arrived, the mountain vibes were unbeatable—breathtaking scenery, perfectly groomed slopes, and a fun, welcoming atmosphere that made it one of the best ski destinations I’ve ever visited. The variety of runs caters to all levels, from wide, gentle slopes for beginners to thrilling tree runs and terrain parks that kept the adrenaline pumping. The snow quality was top-tier, light and fluffy powder that made every run a dream. The lift system was efficient, and the staff were super friendly and helpful—even on busy days, things moved smoothly. One of the highlights was the terrain park—it’s seriously one of the best in Japan. Whether you’re just starting with jumps or you’re a seasoned freestyler, it’s got something for everyone. Plus, the views from the top of the mountain are simply unreal. You can see across the whole valley—pure magic. Facilities are clean and well-organized, with plenty of places to grab food or warm up with hot drinks. The rental gear was high quality, and instructors were knowledgeable and patient, making it great for families and solo travelers alike. I’ll definitely be coming back. Hakuba 47 is a must-visit if you’re into winter sports, stunning alpine scenery, and unforgettable snow adventures. 10/10.

Slopes are great for beginners. The ski school offers a discount on gear if you do group or private lessons with them. You can leave your gear indoors overnight at the ski school which makes it super convenient.

Great ski resort. Offers trails for skiers of all experience levels, stunning views, and nice dining and other facilities. Staff are friendly and helpful. Hakuba Goryu is easily accessible by gondola.

Great place for advance skiers and snowboarders! No begginer slopes at the bottom of the resort. Lots of tree riding zones and big freestyle park!

Great place for both novice and experienced folks, cheap lift tickets and good facilities (eateries, restrooms and great shop) up top. The top trail was initially closed due to windy conditions but a few hours later they opened it back up so be sure to contando check. It is easier if you stay in Hakuba village (anywhere) as you can easily walk to the lift within 10 minutes of any hotel. Cabs are an option but will add up and may take a while to get (30 to 45 min wait) The only complaint I have is the lack of local Japanese people working up front, it is primarily ran by Australians so you don’t get the same customer service you get everywhere else in Japan.

First time we do snowboard at hakuba 47 in april 2025. No worries, there is school for snowboarding and skiing. They spoke english fluently for teaching you how to use snowboard. You also can see snow rain if youre blessed. The place wasnt crowded at all in april, but no bus stop in here, bus stop only operate in december 2024-march 2025, you can go anywhere by taxi in april

This is the Hakuba 47 Winter Sports Park visited at the beginning of Feb 2024 for skiing. Fortunately, there is fresh powder snow as it has snowed in the last night and the most of the slopes at the mountaintop are excellent. The slope from the mountaintop for intermediate has a fantastic view I love it. The Route 1 for intermediate and the Route 2 for advanced are perfectly groomed and so flat, there are great for curving. The Route 3 is so steep and has moguls. There is a huge, paved, and free parking lot in front of the snow resort. Please note that the ticket is a common ticket for the Hakuba Goryu and Iimori.

Hakuba Iwatake Mountain Resort Gondola – Scenic Ride with Great Views 🚠🏔️ The gondola at Hakuba Iwatake Mountain Resort offers a beautiful ride up the mountain with stunning views along the way. We bought our tickets through the hotel at a discounted price of 2,700 yen per person, which included a round-trip for both the gondola and the No.5 South Chair Lift — great value! At the top, there are several scenic spots and relaxing viewpoints to sit and enjoy the panorama. Don’t miss the famous Hakuba Mountain Harbor Café, perfect for coffee with a breathtaking mountain backdrop

I came on summer july the view is still great , the mountain still had ice on top. this place had many attractions to play like giant swing, horse riding, trampoline, biking etc. Please do visit the cafe even you have que-ing, the view is too good to misa. ☺️

A ski resort with extraordinary scenery that is suitable for both skiers and families. However, the green slopes on the mountain are limited and unfriendly for very-beginner skiers. It involves red slopes if you want to ski down from the top to the bottom, but it is still handleable for a two days newbie.

The view of the alps are really nice. The 2 types of cable cars give different feeling. Don't forgot to play the swing which is really fun and nice view

One of the smaller and easier Hakuba areas. Also a bit cheaper for a day pass for Iwatake only. Lots of free parking. New gondola moves the valley station queue quickly. Queue from 8:30 till 11am and then gets quieter. Some of the chairlifts are older and don't have safety bars, which feels odd.

Visited in early November and walked from the car park up to the top and back down. You can take the gondola up and back but a return ticket is 2500¥ and the walk only takes 2 hours up and 1 hour down and takes you through lovely forest. At this time of year the leaves are really beautiful and it’s much nicer than taking the gondola. We had ramen and beer at the top and there’s also a really busy coffee shop and bakery. You can take the bus back to Nagano from the car park (though check the timetable and get in line early to get a seat).

We only skied one day here but it was a great mountain for our family, we could find some nice black runs for those who wanted something a little steeper and more challenging but also green and blue going to the same chair so we could meet up after the runs. Powder was easy to find on and off trail. The Gondola is very nice and meets you to the top in comfort quickly. Best lift in Hakuba valley. The cafe is worth a visit and when the cloud lifted the views were great, though hard to find a bad view in the alps.

It is worth hiking. You need a high price for gondola and benchlifting, but the price is the same as what we get from the view. I went there with my 3-year-old, 5-year-old, and other children. It is good for children, too, because the trail has a path to walk on. However, you should pay attention to heatstroke in summer, bring a lot of water, enough snacks, and something to cover your head from the direct sun. It is a good and fun mountain to hike! Hope you will enjoy it too.

Hiking from the top station of the chairlift to Happo Pond takes about 1.5–2 hours, especially if you stop to take photos along the way. The trail offers amazing panoramic views, particularly during the autumn foliage season. We went on a cloudy day, so the water’s reflection wasn’t as vibrant as in the promotional photos, but the views of the Hakuba Peaks and Happo Pond were still impressive. Coming down is much quicker, making it a very rewarding half-day hike.

Would have been a perfectly wonderful hike if not for the rain and the mushy and slippery rocks and planks along the trails. It takes 1 gondola and 2 ski lift rides to get to 1680m before we can hike to the Happo pond. If you have lower limb injuries or weak muscle groups here, be cautioned that this trail can be hazardous. Seniors should abstained for fear of ankle sprains and knee injuries. When trekking up, be mindful of the distance to keep from the front person/group as there is a danger of a domino effect of falling or slipping. A pair of good hiking shoes is a must for comfort and safety! In the morning, it is always misty. So, do have your water-proof jacket and a small tower handy. For non-Japanese, the climb/hike traffic is to keep to your left. Please do not barge through the line up or down, most of the time, you will be allowed through if you are faster.

Not to hard hike with an incredible landscape view! The way up to the hike with the cablecar is fun as the hike itself 🤭

We hiked Happo on Aug 15th and we already had predicted the weather. It was cloudy but no rain day, but we did not get demotivated to hike. There is 1 Gondola lift and 2 chair lift . Total round trip cost for each person is ¥3300. From the 3rd station you get to hike for about 1hr30 mins to reach the top where you can enjoy the Hakko Ike and the Alps mesmerizing view. We were fortunate to have less heat while the climb but a little unfortunate for getting the perfect view of Alps. But the total hike was worth it. Sometimes, nature do not behave as predicted in weather apps but, it’s not bad to give a try😉 There are two ways to hike. One is through the Rocky Mountains and the other is a little long route but managed to make stairs. We ascended with tough trail through rocky stones and descended in the easier trail. Also, they suggest taking stony rocks while ascending because it might get slippery in mist and descending might be tricky. You can also hike beyond Happo Ike, but we have sign a form at the entrance if we are hiking further. Also that area needs you to have perfect hiking equipment. Overall a best summer hike for us ☺️

Such a beautiful alpine hike. A lot of stairs and rocks to get to it and get back down. A lot of people have heavy packs on, but given the short distance, I recommend bringing a very light pack or no pack at all if you’re only going to Happo Pond and back down. It shouldn’t take more than 90 minutes and one bottle of water is all you need if you’re in moderate physical shape. My 10 year old had no problem making it there and back to the lift in 70 minutes.

One of my favorite places to visit in Japan. The stunning views surrounded by mountains are amazing. The walking path is well-made, and there are spots to rest if you get tired. It’s really worth going up to Happo Pond. Even when I visited on a rainy day, it was very cool. Luckily, the rain stopped for a bit. Even though there was a lot of fog, and I couldn’t see the mountain reflections in the pond, which is what makes this place special, sometimes the fog created a unique view.

Relaxing in summer! Come early, when i arrive at 7 am, no one here! So i enjoy my calm, relax and good vibes! Please go up! Just 2 minutes walking and you will see a good view! Mix of snow mountain, river and green tree!!

Such a peaceful spot surrounded by nature — perfect for a relaxing evening walk. The view of the mountains and river is beautiful, especially during sunset. A great place to unwind and enjoy the calm side of Hakuba.

Visited on the 10 April 2025, still too early for blooms but the park was still beautiful with stream flowing from melting snow.

The river along the park 🌿🏞️ is absolutely breathtaking with the scenery behind! 💙 There’s also a hidden spot if you walk a bit up the hill. The only downside — parking’s a bit small.

If you are planning to visit Oide Park in July, please be aware that there is a high chance of rainfall throughout the day. The river may also turn an unusual orange color. We kindly advise you to check the weather forecast before making your plans to ensure a more enjoyable experience.

Beautiful place to enjoy hanami. There is a wide variety of trees. Some trees have fully bloomed, some have just started. Some petals are starting to drop. The Japanese alps are a stunning view year round.

Small park with a scenic view of the river and the mountains

Beautiful park with nice wooden paths. Great for kids.

Quiet secret place. Please bring bear-ring with you and no need to fear.

Himekawa Headwaters, beautiful in all seasons.

(Translated by Google) I went on a weekend at the end of April. There was some snow left, but there was no problem walking around in sneakers. Some of the skunk cabbages had grown considerably, and when I first saw the leaves, I didn't recognize them as skunk cabbages, but as I continued on, I was able to see some familiar looking skunk cabbages. Katakuri flowers were also blooming. The Hime River heads north from here, passes Hakuba, and flows into the Sea of ​​Japan, but the water just a little south of here flows south to Azumino, where it joins the Chikuma River (Shinano River) and flows into the Sea of ​​Japan. It is also a valuable place as a watershed located at a very low location. (Original) 4月末の週末に行きました。 一部残雪もありましたが、スニーカーで歩いて全く問題ないです。 水芭蕉はかなり成長しているものもあり、葉を見た時は最初水芭蕉と気付かないものもありましたが、進んでいくと見覚えのある水芭蕉の姿を確認できました。 かたくりの花も咲いていました。 姫川はここから北上して白馬を越えて日本海にそそぐのですが、ここからほんの少し南側の水は、安曇野に南下してその後、千曲川(信濃川)と合流して日本海にそそぎます。 非常に低い場所にある分水嶺としても貴重な場所です。

(Translated by Google) The source of the Himekawa River, located in Itoigawa City, Niigata Prefecture, is in Hakuba Village, Nagano Prefecture. The Himekawa Source Nature Park is a short walk from the road, and if you walk along the footpath to the source of the Himekawa River, you will find spring water flowing out. From here, the water flows into the Sea of ​​Japan, about 60 km away. There are several parking spaces next to the bus stop, but outside of the ski season, many people seem to use the parking lot at the nearby ski resort. Near the source is the Oyako Marsh. (Original) 新潟県糸魚川市に有る姫川の源流は、長野県白馬村に有ります。姫川源流自然園は、道路から少し歩いた場所に有り、姫川源流まで遊歩道を進むと、湧水が流れ出しています。ここから約60km先にある日本海に流れて込んでいます。駐車場はバス停脇に数台のスペースが有りますが、スキーシ―ズン以外は近くのスキー場の駐車場を利用している人が多いようです。なお、源流の近くには、親海湿原が有ります。

(Translated by Google) Transportation is not very convenient, as it is a bit far from the JR station, so we took a taxi to get there. The park is not very large, but we found hummingbirds and butterflies here, and the natural ecology is very rich. (Original) 交通不是很方便，距離JR站有點距離，我們是搭計程車Taxi前往。園區不是很大，但在這發現蜂鳥與蝴蝶，自然生態非常豐富。

(Translated by Google) I visited in August. I happened to be in the area so I decided to stop by. It was a beautiful wetland with many flowers in bloom and butterflies fluttering about. (Original) 8月に訪問。たまたま近くに来たついでに寄ってみたけれど、多くの花が咲き蝶が舞う美しい湿地だった。

A cozy café offering freshly baked pastries and cookies, with both indoor and outdoor seating overlooking a panoramic view of the Japan Alps. There’s also a scenic terrace and a popular photo spot nearby — perfect for a relaxed morning break. It’s best to come early in the morning when it’s still quiet and easy to find a good seat. The coffee was just okay and a bit pricey, but the bakery items were tasty and well-made. Overall, a nice place to enjoy a treat with an amazing view!

you do need to have luck with the weather to understand why this place gets long lines. the view is really beautiful when you have full visibility. i’ve seen it on an overcast day and there was absolutely nothing in the background. anyway the coffee and bakery were really decent. some cookies were really yummy. anyway if it’s a good day, come during opening time. it starts slow but suddenly the lines just explodes.

Few important pointer before going: - check on the weather forecast - follow website direction on the Google map (gotta go up through by gondola) - weekday for less crowd The pics taken were from mid-June. The food we tried were all delicious, especially the hand-made marshmallow🫰🏻love it!

I think people come for different reasons. The biggest reason is the view from the balcony behind the coffee shop. There is a line that stretches nearly 100m back on the RIGHT just to take photo from this balcony. The line on the LEFT is actually to buy coffee and food from this coffee shop. You can actually just ignore the lines if all you want is to take photos from other spots OTHER than that balcony. I got great photos without lining up. Oh the chocolate muffin was super!

What a wonderful place it was ! Ticket price is 2900 yen! for rope ways both path.

Yesterday, 1 June is low season. It was very cloudy which made alpine mount vanished in foggy. I would say that if you cannot see all mountain from the ground. Do not expected to ride gondola and see as others see.😭 Free shuttle bus from happo terminal. Gondola ¥2700.

People come for the view. In winter it's very crowded for food and coffee and hard to get a table. There's also only a limited range of muffins and snacks, no meals. In summer it's probably very pleasant. There's always a queue to stand out on the edge for photos.

Great Ski Resort for Beginners We had a fantastic time at this resort, especially as beginners. We were lucky to experience heavy snowfall on a spring day – at one point, the snow was so thick that I couldn’t even see my skis while skiing! Although it’s a relatively small ski area, the food court offers a decent variety of options, which was a pleasant surprise. One of the highlights was how uncrowded it was, making it easier to navigate the slopes without feeling rushed or overwhelmed. The ski lift pass is also more affordable compared to larger resorts, which makes sense since it mainly caters to beginners and intermediate skiers. If you’re looking for a beginner-friendly ski resort with fewer crowds and good value for money, this is a great choice.

It’s good resort for beginners & intermediate. The snow is good & slopes are gentle. The resort is bit cheaper compared to others in Hakuba.

Ski resort with extraordinary lake view. Be aware you need to get through a red slope if you want to get to the photo spot of the lake view.

Hakuba Sanosaka might not be the biggest resort in the Hakuba Valley, but that’s part of its charm. The slopes are smaller compared to some of the more well-known resorts in the area, making it a great spot for beginners and intermediate skiers looking for a more relaxed experience. While I still think Tsugaike edges it out for complete beginners—thanks to its wide, gentle terrain—Sanosaka has a lot going for it. One of the biggest perks is how quiet it is. Since it’s less popular than its neighbors, the slopes are far less crowded, which we really appreciated. No long lift lines, no weaving through throngs of people—just smooth runs and space to practice. Another plus: the ski pass is cheaper than most resorts in the area, making it a great budget-friendly option if you’re not after the biggest vertical drops or the most advanced terrain. If you’re after a low-key day on the mountain or just starting out with skiing or snowboarding, Hakuba Sanosaka is a solid choice

Tiniest resort in Hakuba but delivers the punch on a day with good powder and blue skies. Runs are wide and long, must mention the quad lifts run at a good speed that keeps you going. Both Lake Down and Paradise runs are fabulous for beginners and intermediate skiers. The view is breathtaking - online pictures do it no justice! Lunch at Castor Plaza was also a good find.

Went in late March. Had the place to ourselves !Nice easy slopes. Staff were super friendly and helpful. During rentals, they held our shoes for us without having to use the lockers, so very very kind.

Amazing on a powder day with great views of the lake

(Translated by Google) The exhibition hall is not big. It has two floors inside and houses some oil paintings. It's not very special. You might as well take a look if you have time. (Original) 展館不算大 內部有兩層 收藏 一些 油畫， 不是很特別 有時間不妨一看。

(Translated by Google) You can see the present Baima Village, but here you can appreciate the paintings made by many artists thirty or forty years ago. Looking at these paintings, it is like you have visited this place across forty years of time and space. (Original) 你可以看到現在的白馬村，但在這裡你可以欣賞到三四十年前多位藝術家畫這裡，看著這些畫，就像是你跨越四十年時空造訪這裡。

This was a great little find. The art is wonderful with the mountains of Hakuba as a major theme. The museum is in a house from an earlier era. There are gardens surrounding the house. Overall, it’s an enjoyable place to visit.

(Translated by Google) When I visited, there were many mountain paintings on display. There was also Matsumoto folk furniture. There was parking for two cars. (Original) 伺った時には山岳絵画が多く展示されていました。そして松本民芸家具。駐車場2台。

(Translated by Google) Private art museum. There are paintings of the Hakuba mountains, Matsumoto folk art furniture, tableware from the director's collection, etc. There is also a space where you can drink juice and a museum. The 700 tsubo garden with wildflowers in full bloom is also beautiful. It takes about 1 hour. The paintings of Tsugaike Nature Park by Genichiro Adachi, who loved Hakuba's nature, are refreshing. (Original) 個人美術館。白馬の山々の絵画や、松本民芸家具、館長のコレクションの食器など、またジュースを飲めるスペースやミュージアムもあります。700坪の山野草が咲き乱れるお庭もきれい。所要時間は1時間くらいかと。 白馬の自然を愛した足立源一郎の栂池自然園の絵は気分が洗われます。

(Translated by Google) I dropped by while staying in Hakuba, but even though it was open, I couldn't get in. There was no indication that the building was closed on its website, Instagram, or at the entrance, which confused other tourists. One tourist called, but could hear the phone ringing and the radio from inside the building, but there was no one there. Incidentally, it appears that Instagram hasn't been updated in over a year. (Original) 白馬に泊まったついでに行ったが休館日ではないのに入れなかった。 サイトやInstagram、現地の入口などに休館の表記がなく他の観光客の方も戸惑っていた。 その観光客の方が電話したが、建物内から電話の着信音が聞こえるしラジオの音も聞こえたが誰も居ない状態でした。 ちなみに、Instagramは1年以上更新されていない模様。

(Translated by Google) I came to Hakuba but got caught in the rain, so I came here. The admission fee of 700 yen is not expensive and is commensurate with the exhibits. (Original) 白馬に来たものの、雨にたたられたのでやって来た。入館料700円は展示内容に見合っており、決して高くはない。

For reference, visitied on May 23rd Gondola is brand new ( inaugurated just a few months ago ) so in pristine condition. Return ticket is 2900¥ and can use a second line when on top to visit the opposite side. Great view, still quite some snow on the mountains around. We didn't get the best weather, but waiting long enough we could enjoy such a spectacular view. On top there's a bakery, scenic view swing and pretty much everything you need to enjoy the day

Iwatake Mountain Resort was breathtaking, came here this summer July 2025 (Green Season) took a taxi from Hakuba valley, bought ticket at the gate for the gondola ride. Up in the mountain, we had a very healthy lunch available at the sky art cafe. We tried the big swing, drove the mountain karts which was so fun! Coffee with a fantastic view is just the best part of our visit at City Bakery Cafe. Very hot during summer even in this mountain place, make sure you bring a hat and sunscreen. 😍Hope to be back sometime in winter. Oh and you can bring your pet, wheelchair accessibility is possible but very challenging.

The snow resort has many different lifts and the slopes are great for beginners too. There are a couple of restaurants outside the resort. There are many parking lots but you have to come early if you want to park in front of the resort or reserve a space. The other parking lots are about 5-7 minutes walk from the resort — that’s the Dai ni (第二) parking. The staff at the window ticket are kind of rude. That aside, the place is overall foreigner friendly.

The resort is closed as of today. Not sure when it will open, so better check before arriving

Rainy when we went but still worth the trip. Enjoyed the visit despite short hours. The Mountain View was breathtaking. My senior parents also had a place to stay and enjoy at the top while we did some activities. Definitely would revisit in the future!

This is the resort to be at on a powder day. Plenty of fresh lines to be had. Try to pre purchase tickets, as the line for the ticket office and gondola was a nightmare (There is a chairlift out of the bottom, but wasn’t running). New gondola appears to be under construction so might alleviate this line issue. Topside is beautiful and had a toboggan area for kids, and off lead dog area too! Perfect for non skiers/sightseeing and skiers alike.

Great resort for all levels. Fast gondola ride up and unique attractions at the summit. One of few terrain parks in Hakuba and an excellent one at that. Expect long queues at the ticket office in the morning. Better signage at lift stations would be helpful.

Very good experience .

(Translated by Google) You can ride a mini SL. The adults who went with me said that there was a bridge and it was really fun. I only took a photo, but I regret that I should have ridden. I would definitely like to ride it next time I go. (Original) ミニSLに乗車できます。橋があったり、めちゃくちゃ楽しいと一緒に行った大人が話しています。私は写真を撮っただけですが、乗ればよかったと後悔しています。次回行ったときは是非乗りたいと思います。

(Translated by Google) It seems you can also stay overnight. There are also play equipment and it would be great to take small children there. There are a variety of ride experiences and it seems you can even try driving a train. There is a large diorama-like room where you can play by running trains, but you can also rent out the room entirely, which really appeals to the child in you. There is also a parking lot, so if it's not crowded you can relax and play there, which is great. There aren't a huge number of rides or attractions, but I thought it would be convenient when you want to relax and have fun. We had a great time. My child loves trains, so he really enjoyed himself. (Original) 宿泊もできるみたいですね。遊具などもあり小さな子供を連れて行くととても楽しいと思います。乗車体験も様々で運転体験もできるみたいですね。ジオラマみたいな大きな部屋で電車を走らせて遊ぶコーナーもあるのですが、部屋自体を貸し切りにすることもできて子供心をくすぐりますね。駐車場も完備されていて混んでなければゆったりと遊ぶことができるのがいいですね。ものすごく沢山乗り物があったり、アトラクション的なものがあるわけではないですが、ちょっとゆったり遊びたい時に便利だと思いました。楽しませてもらいました。子供が電車好きでとっても満喫できました。

(Translated by Google) I visited with my family. You can ride an authentic mini steam locomotive. Because it uses real steam, both my kids and I had a blast. The steam locomotive runs for quite a long distance, and there are iron bridges along the way, which is interesting. Note that it is open until 3:00 PM. (Original) 家族と訪問しました。本格的なミニSLに乗車できます。 本物の蒸気を使用したSLのため、子供も自分も大はしゃぎ。 SLはかなり長い距離を走り、途中鉄橋があったりと面白いです。 なお、営業時間が15:00までな点は注意です。

(Translated by Google) Tickets are purchased from a vending machine, so if you plan on riding a lot, it's a good idea to bring plenty of 1,000 yen bills. Cash only. Driving experience is for junior high school students and above. I went with my kids and we both had a great time. (Original) 自販機で乗車券を購入するので、沢山乗りたい方は千円札を多めに用意して行ったほうが良いです。現金のみです。 運転体験は中学生以上です。 子連れで行き、親子でとても楽しみました。

(Translated by Google) The park is not big, and you have to pay to see it. The forest train goes around twice. (Original) 園區不大，看到的都要收費，森林小火車繞兩圈

(Translated by Google) It was a splendid temple. The Sanmon gate, which is a designated cultural property of Hakuba Village, was very atmospheric. If the cherry blossoms are in bloom, the approach to the shrine will have a nice atmosphere. (Original) 立派なお寺でした。白馬村指定文化財である山門が風情ありました。桜が咲いていたら参道がまた雰囲気良さそうです。

(Translated by Google) The temple gate and buildings within the precincts were quite large, and the precincts were also well maintained.

Great view. Nice hikes. Plenty of eating and drinking options and the new gondola is amazing

Iwatake Green Park – Relaxing Spot with Panoramic Views A wide open area at the top of Iwatake with beautiful panoramic views of the mountains. There are plenty of seats to just sit back, relax, and enjoy the cool, refreshing breeze. A perfect spot to take a break and soak in the scenery

Nice place to chill. The line for ticket was extremely long. No option to buy advance tickets. Fun place for one time visit.

Awesome scenery. Excellent place to chill out

Visit this place on a weekday to avoid the crowds. October is perfect for enjoying the view.

Great slopes for beginners and advanced skiiers and snowboarders. City bakery is just around the corner. There are also restaurants up the slopes.

Nice place to play in the snow.

(Translated by Google) Followed by rock scaffolding. You can skip this part without going to the top, but the view is worth the effort. Of course, this is a matter of physical strength, but I feel a sense of accomplishment after enduring the pain for about 20 minutes and climbing up. There may be some places where you could be in serious trouble if you accidentally get hit by a strong wind and are blown away at the top... so proceed with caution. (Original) 岩の足場が続きます。 ここは頂上に行かずに省略できますが、苦労して昇る価値のある景色が見れます。 もちろん体力との相談ですが、20分くらい苦痛に耐えて昇ると達成感があります。 うっかり強風にやられて、頂上では吹っ飛ばされると大変なことになる場所もあるかもしらませんが…そこは注意して進みましょう。

(Translated by Google) Mt. Shakushi is located in the center of the Hakuba Sanzan mountains. It's a great feeling to walk around the summit along the ridge. If you're in the area, I highly recommend climbing to the summit at least once. (Original) 白馬三山の中央に位置する杓子岳。 尾根歩きでの山頂巡りは、気持ちがいいです。 近くまで来られた方は、是非一度登頂することをお勧めします。

(Translated by Google) In a sense, it is a unique mountain among the three Hakuba mountains. The narrow, flat ridgeline, which looks like a triangular prism made of rough stones turned sideways, is just over 1m wide. The Nagano side has a smooth slide and the Toyama side has a wide slide. I learned here that I don't like narrow horizontal roads more than vertical rocky areas! There is also a winding road at the bottom, so people who are going there and back should use the winding road on their way back. I didn't want to climb this scree twice. (Original) 白馬三山の中ではある意味特徴的な山。 ガレガレの石でできた三角柱を横に倒したような細い平らな稜線の幅は1m強。長野側はスッパリ切れ落ち富山側は幅の広ーい滑り台。 私は垂直の岩場より水平の細い道が苦手だとここで知った！ 下に巻道もあるので往復の人は帰りを巻道で帰るんですかね。2回もこのガレを登りたくないと思いました。

(Translated by Google) The most attractive feature of Mt. Shakushi is its distinctive shape. It can be recognized from afar because it looks like an upside-down rice scoop. Another attraction is the great view you can enjoy from near the summit. Charms of Mt.

(Translated by Google) A mountain in the northern part of the Northern Alps. One of the three Hakuba mountains, located between Mt. Hakuba and Mt. Hakuba Yarigatake. Mountain area: Northern Hida Mountains Prefecture: Toyama Prefecture Nagano Prefecture Altitude: 2,812m It is located on the main ridgeline of the Ushirotateyama Mountain Range (Hakuba Mountain Range), and the main mountain trail is a traverse that winds around the west side of the mountain, with branches along the way leading to the summit. The unique scenery is eye-catching. The slope is generally rough. The mountain ridge is asymmetrical, with a large drop on the Nagano Prefecture side. This is due to the influence of strong westerly winds. There is a large stream at the bottom of the cliff, and during the snowy season, some people come here to ski. There are no lifts. The area around the mountaintop is also home to a colony of dicentra. (Original) 北アルプス北部の山。 白馬岳・白馬鑓ヶ岳に挟まれた、白馬三山のひとつ。 山域： 飛騨山脈北部 都道府県： 富山県 長野県 標高： 2,812ｍ 後立山連峰（白馬連峰）の主稜線上にあり、登山道は西側の山腹を巻くトラバース道がメインとなっており、その途中に頂上へと至る道に分岐する。 独特の風景は、目をひく。 斜面は概ねガレている。 非対称山稜であり、長野県側は大きく落ちている。 強い偏西風の影響によるものである。 崖の下部には大きな杓子沢があり、積雪期には山スキーをするために訪れる者もいる。 リフトなど存在はしない。 また、山頂周辺はコマクサの群落地でもある。

(Translated by Google) When viewed from Hakuba, the mountain looks like a beautiful triangular prism. It takes about an hour one way from Hakuba, but the mountain is all rough and not easy to climb. The scenery is very pleasant as you can see all the way to Hakuba Yari and Tsugaike. If you go to Hakuba, please go up the mountain! (Original) 白馬から見ると、きれいな三角柱を倒したような形の山。白馬から片道1時間で行けますが山事態が全部ガレていて登りやすくはないです。 景色は、白馬鑓やら栂池方面までよく見渡せて気持ちいいです。白馬まで行ったならフラッと登りにいってください！

(Translated by Google) One of the three Hakuba mountains that is often avoided. The outlook is quite good. The east side is falling like a scone and it's a scary cliff. The appearance of the mountain is indescribable when viewed from the slopes. The sword is also white and beautiful. (Original) 敬遠されがちな白馬三山の１つ。 展望はかなり良い。 東側がスコーンと落ちてて恐怖の絶壁。 鑓から見ると何とも言えない山容。 その鑓もまた白く美しい。

Amazing range of trampolines, climbing walls, ping-pong tables, activities for very young children and even a bar. Always spotlessly clean. Great fun and exceptionally good value. Adults and kids thrilled!

Perfect place to take kids during a rainy day visit to the area. There’s plenty of fun to be had with a rock wall, trampoline areas, foam pit and many other things. There’s even a cute area for littles too small to bounce with a ball pit and play area.

Super fun trampoline park with a foam pit and an air bag to safely practice new tricks! The trampolines are very bouncy and perfect to do spins and flips! Staff is also awesome, I got a season pass there and I'm always excited to go :)

Great place to train park for ski and snowboard in the winter. They have practice tramp ski's and boards, Bouldering badminton, table tennis and kids ball pool. Staff are really helpful and knowledgeable. Great way to spend an evening or bad weather day.

A friend recommended this place and I’m glad she did. I read some of the reviews after visiting, and I didn’t experience anything negative like in the reviews. The staff is super friendly and they explained the rules very well. The patrons are well behaved. No loud kids being rude. Actually, one kept trying to encourage me to jump from a high point. I just couldn’t do it, but the kid was super supportive. Just be aware that 100kg is the maximum weight. I am slightly over and I was scared I would break the trampoline. So, I didn’t jump to high or hard. It is expensive, but it’s not a common facility. Where in Japan can you find trampolines like this to play on? It’s worth the cost. The bathroom is gender neutral, which is rare in Japan. And, the facility was created with recycled goods. I say if you’re in the area, give it a try.

I work in Evergreen Outdoor Center (Outdoor company) as a guide and I was in Hakubounce with a group of kids last week and it was an amazing experience! The Hakubounce crew is super nice, they teach us how to do different tricks in the trampolines and we were having fun a lot! Perfect activity for a rainy day when you don't know what to do outside. Thank you so much Hakubounce!

Friendly staff. Annoying because they didn’t shovel a path to the door in the snow. We called in advance to confirm a baby play area, but it was more for toddlers younger kids. With COVID they have the windows open and its COLD!! I was sitting ON TOP of the heater and still cools. Those bouncing will be fine. Fun place

Views are fantastic! Mtb equipment to rent is not the best but the people are super nice and helpful

Great bije park. More upgrades last week

(Translated by Google) It was my first downhill experience, but I was very satisfied. It feels like it can be enjoyed by everyone from beginners to advanced players. At first, I was worried about whether to buy a one-day ticket for the gondola, but the one-day ticket was the right choice. Facilities such as restrooms were also very good. ・The weather in the mountains is changeable, changing from morning to fog, noon to clear skies, and afternoon to fog. Other than the sunny weather, it was very cold, so it might be a good idea to bring an extra photo in November. ・There are changing rooms and coin lockers at the foot of the mountain. I was able to exchange money by asking the staff at the store. Even after going up the gondola, there were coin lockers near the restrooms in the building. ・Spicy at the foot of the mountain is a good place to rent a bicycle! ・There was Panasonic's latest hardtail emtb rental at the end of the gondola. It was 1,200 yen including one gondola ride, so it might be a good idea if you want to take a short ride on the up-and-down course at the top of the mountain. ・There was a free shuttle bus. Please check the official website for times as the number and stopping places are limited. ・If you take a taxi, it costs 1,800 yen including the transportation fee to Hakuba Station. (Original) ダウンヒル初体験でしたが大満足です。 初級者から上級者まで楽しめる感じです。 ゴンドラは一日券にするか最初悩みましたが、一日券で正解でした。 お手洗いなど設備も相当しっかりしていました。 ・山の天気は変わりやすく、朝→霧、昼→晴れ、午後→霧と変化。 晴れ以外は、すごく寒かったので11月はプラス一枚あるといいかもです。 ・麓に更衣室とコインロッカーあり。 両替はお店の人に言えばできました。 ゴンドラを上がってからも建物内のお手洗いのところにコインロッカーありました。 ・レンタル自転車は麓にあるSpicyさんが良いです! ・ゴンドラを上がった先にパナソニックの最新のハードテールのemtbレンタルがありました。ゴンドラ1回付きで1,200円だったので、山頂のアップダウンコースをちょっと走ってみたい時にはいいかもです。 ・無料シャトルバスがありました。本数と止まる場所が限られているので、時間は公式サイトで要チェック ・タクシーだと、白馬駅まで送迎代入れて1,800円でした

(Translated by Google) A mecca for mountain biking! The gondola has been updated, so you can comfortably seat two bikes. And the breeze is easy to get in and it's cool! The speed and carrying capacity have increased, making it even more comfortable. And what's more, the summit has a spectacular view... Definitely going back! (Original) マウンテンバイク の聖地！ ゴンドラが新しくなり、バイク2台入れても楽に座れる。そして風が入りやすく涼しい！ スピードも搬送能力も上がって更に快適に その上、絶景の山頂という事ない… リピート決定！

(Translated by Google) Visited on October 12th Although it was a little cold, the course looked good. It was a little wet, but I was able to run in almost dry conditions. When I was in the parking lot, a foreigner called out to me and said, ``Nice bike.'' I wonder if that person was interested because he was also riding a GT mountain bike from the same manufacturer as me? (Original) １０月１２日訪問 少し寒かったですが、コースは良い感じでした。 ちょっとだけ濡れていましたがほとんどドライに近い状態で走れました。 駐車場にいたら外国人の方にナイスバイクと声を掛けられました。 その方も私と同じメーカーのＧＴのマウンテンバイクに乗っていたので気になったのでしょうか？

(Translated by Google) The snow season is good, but the green season was also great. I decided to go to Iwatake for my MTB ski resort debut. It was as fun as I expected. It was easy to ride even for beginners. I still have the aftertaste of the downhill course. Just like the snow season, I think I'll pass by! Ah~ I want to go soon! (Original) スノーシーズンも良いですがグリーンシーズンも最高でした。 MTBスキー場デビューは岩岳に決めて行きました。思ってた通り楽しかったです。 初心者の方でも走りやすかったです。 ダウンヒルコースの余韻がまだあります。 スノーシーズンもそうですが通ってしまいそうです！あぁ〜早く行きたいです！
