Powder Paradise

 

01 Hakuba Happo-One

Happo-one, located on Mount Karamatsu in Hakuba Village, was built in 1958. It opens in early December each year and remains open until early May of the following year, with seasonal snow depths reaching 2–3 m, and mid-January being the peak snow period. The snow quality is dry, soft, and offers excellent deep snow and backcountry experiences.

From the cable car station at an altitude of 1,831 m, you can overlook Hakuba's three peaks, Myoko, Asama, Yatsugatake, and other mountain ranges. The view on a clear day is even more breathtaking, with 13 runs (including an 8 km super-long run) and a total of approximately 52 km of groomed slopes.

 

 

02 Hakuba Goryu & Hakuba 47

Hakuba Goryu and Hakuba 47 are interconnected by mid-to-high-level cable cars and chairlifts. A single Hakuba Valley pass covers both resorts, eliminating the need for re-ticketing.

The Toomi slope at the top of Goryu is gentle and wide, with excellent snow quality, suitable for intermediate skiers to practice high-frequency turns. The night skiing slope at the bottom is open until 9:30 PM daily, offering 1–2 more hours of fun under the stars. Hakuba 47 has extensive tree skiing areas, with multiple Tree Runs accessible directly from chairlifts, saving effort and leading directly into deep snow forests.
