Discover dining in Hakuba
Browse restaurants, cafes and local food spots
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.
