| | Hakuba is this picture perfect village nestled in a valley between high mountains known as "the Chamonix of Japan". It was home to many of the ski events of 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics and is one of the most popular ski resort in Japan. Ski in ski out, with pistes suitable for everyone, freestyle areas, great apres ski...
But Hakuba is so much more than skiing. Each month of the year has some special activities to make your trip even more special.
The annual snow festival in mid-february, cherry blossoms (love that time of the year) happening late april or early may, rice planting in early May, blueberry picking in June, as well as many other sports activities in Spring like mountain biking and canoeing.
I love skiing but people often makes the mistake in believing that mountain villages are only good for snow activities... it is so much more than that, you can have great holidays in the charming village of Hakuba all year long. Hiking, fishing, rafting in an impressive mountain scenery
And, of course, the Japanese delicacies... You have great restaurants in Hakuba area!
