The Terrain in Hakuba

Hakuba Valley is 10 separate ski resorts — Happo-One (the Olympic downhill venue), Hakuba 47, Goryu, Iwatake, Tsugaike, and Cortina, among others — sharing one lift pass and a free shuttle bus system. Happo-One's summit reaches 1,831m with a 1,071m vertical drop, the largest in Japan.

Why Rent in Hakuba?

Renting ski equipment in Hakuba is the smart choice for most visitors. Luggage costs for ski gear can exceed the price of a week-long rental, and local shops offer ski poles rental perfectly tuned for Hakuba's terrain — all levels level, 200 km of pistes at up to 2696m.

Après-Ski and Village Life

Hakuba's village culture is more authentic Japanese than Niseko — onsens, ramen shops, and izakayas dominate; the Tiroler Hütte above Goryu serves German food as a nod to the local Austrian ski instructor heritage.
