About Hakuba

Hakuba in the Japanese Alps is an unmissable destination for winter sports enthusiasts and nature lovers alike. The standout attraction is the world-class skiing and snowboarding at resorts like Happo-One and Goryu, with powdery slopes and stunning mountain vistas. One unique aspect that draws travellers is the traditional Japanese onsen (hot springs) experience, offering a serene and rejuvenating soak after a long day on the slopes. The best time to visit Hakuba is from December to March, when the snow is at its best. For first-timers, consider purchasing a Japan Lift Pass, which grants access to multiple resorts and provides flexibility in planning your ski days.
