Description
Hakuba lies in the Japan Alps, very close to Nagano. This dazzling valley is home of many incredible ski resorts. Come explore them with me on this day trip.
I am a Freeride World Qualifier (FWQ) athlete, who is passionate about snowboarding. Thus I am ranked 47th in the world and 4th in Japan. And Hakuba is one of the places I love exploring the most for many reasons.
First, its alpine scenery with rugged mountains that stand over 3,000 meters is simply mesmerizing. Therefore, we’ll enjoy dazzling views from every slope we take.
Secondly, the weather conditions are great. Hakuba receives plenty of snow every winter, 11 to 13 meters. Plus, the enormous range of piste terrain offer some of the best powder snow in Japan. So, we’ll get to sample the famous and unique Japow!
Also, you can find 11 unique ski resorts including: Cortina, Happo-One, Hakuba 47, Norikura, Tsugaike KogenIwatake, Kashimayari, Goryu, Sanosaka, Minekata and Jigatake. But worry not, I will help you chose the one that best suits your desires.
What’s more Hakuba is very easy to access, it is located in the Island of Honshu, which is Japan’s main island, about 270 kilometers northwest of Tokyo. So you can get here via the Narita Airport, bullet train, local train or bus.
Also, please note that I am not a certified mountain guide, nor a ski instructor. Therefore, instead of teaching you how to snowboard, I will focus on riding along Hakuba‘s most amazing slopes, and have a fantastic time snowboarding together.
If you are up for this winter adventure, don’t hesitate and request to book this trip today. I would love to snowboard with you in Hakuba!
