2025 Hakuba Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in March)

Hakuba Village, Nagano Prefecture. CITY BAKERY, located in Hakuba Iwatake Mountain Resort, is a popular cafe for skiers and snowboarders, where you can enjoy meals and drinks while taking in the beautiful mountain scenery. They have a wide selection of fresh breads and pastries that you would expect from a bakery, and they also have a wide selection of coffee and drinks. I visited the store around 11:00 on a weekday, and had to wait about 10 minutes to enter the store. There were so many delicious looking breads lined up in the store that I had a hard time deciding what to get. Croissants are popular, but this time I had the most popular BakersMuffin (¥660) and an iced cafe latte (¥640). The BakersMuffin is made of cinnamon-kneaded dough with apples, raisins, and walnuts, and has a crispy texture with cinnamon as an accent, making it very delicious. I had it on the terrace, and was able to spend a wonderful tea time in front of the spectacular view. I highly recommend it, so please visit. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 📍Spot name: THE CITY BAKERY Hakuba Mountain Harbor 12056 Kitajo, Hakuba-mura, Kitaazumi-gun, Nagano Prefecture #FuriTabiWinter #trip #Nagano #Hakuba

Hakuba Canadian Lodge is located in Hakuba Village, Nagano Prefecture. It is a rental villa at the entrance to Wadano Forest, the beautiful Hakuba Happo-one, and has three types of buildings in a large, natural area: trailer cabins, condominiums, and log houses. This time, we stayed overnight in a trailer cabin type C. It was ¥5,000 per person per night for two people. We wanted to have a bonfire, so we asked for an additional ¥2,000 for a tarp, chairs, and table set. The trailer cabin was very clean and comfortable. There are various cooking utensils, rice cookers, kettles, etc., so we only brought our own ingredients to cook, and we were grateful that there was no inconvenience at all. At night, you can also observe the stars under the starry sky, so it is recommended. Please visit this as a base for sightseeing in Hakuba. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - 📍Hakuba Canadian Lodge 4715-4, Kitajo Wadano, Hakuba-mura, Kitaazumi-gun, Nagano Prefecture ☎️0261-72-8822 #Travel record of accommodation #Hakuba #Nagano #Log house #Autumn leaves

|I Saw the Golden Mountain in Nagano: Hakuba Village.🏔️Hakuba is best known for its ski resorts, as it was one of the venues for the 1998 Winter Olympics. 🏠It's not snow season yet, so I stayed at a guesthouse in the village, where I could see the morning sun shining on the snow-capped mountains. 🚗There is a free bus from JR Hakuba Station to [Hakuba Iwatake], and then you can take a cable car to Mt. Iwatake (1,289 m), where you can ride a mountain bike at the top. 🥖The New York coffee shop [THE CITY BAKERY] has also opened a store at the top of the mountain, with outdoor seating overlooking the Northern Alps. The coffee shop has a glass-enclosed observation deck where you can take pictures, and there are a lot of people, especially on weekends when there are lines of tourists taking pictures. There is also a swing (for a fee) facing the mountains next to the coffee shop. 🍁This season, you can take pictures of the famous three-stage autumn leaves at the observation deck, with snow on the top of the mountain🏔️, autumn leaves on the mountainside🍁, and green trees at the foot of the mountain🍃. Iwatake Cable Car Green Season Operating Hours: 4/19–11/17

Homie style restaurant, very delicious taste, good atmosphere 🕐 The shop opens in 2 periods: 11.30 - 14.30 and 17.30 - 20.00 Each month, the shop will close differently. It is recommended to check the shop's IG, there will be an announcement on which day it is closed this month. 🚗 Travel: The shop is quite deep up the mountain. It is recommended that you have a private car. You can search in Google Maps according to this name: 松ぼっくり〜自然派美味処〜 🍲 The shop has a set menu and a la carte, depending on the ingredients. There are pork, fish, and beef. On the day we went, we chose the set menu. The taste was very delicious, very homie. The price is not expensive, about 1-2 thousand yen per set. 🍰 The shop has a dessert menu of 1 cake. Each day, there will be different pies. On the day we went, we ordered a pumpkin pie and a peach cheesecake. The taste is very delicious. Price 550 yen. If you order with a drink, it costs 800 yen. 🏡 Another part that I like is the atmosphere. It is very shady. The interior of the shop is beautifully decorated. The shop is run by one owner. If you order many menus or have many customers, you may have to wait for a while. 😍 Overall, I am very impressed. If I go to Hakuba, I will definitely go back to eat. #100TravelTips #japantrip #japanesefood #hakuba #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck

A natural wonder pond in Nagano. With its beautiful nature, Happo Pond is famous. In the summer, when the sky is clear and the water is clear, we will see the most beautiful view. It can be said that we can see the Japan Alps reflected in the clear water like a mirror. Even though the journey is tiring, if you see this view, it is worth it. No matter what season you come, you will get a different feeling. But enjoy the beautiful view all the way.

Hakuba, home to the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics 😍 Absolute a gem and wonder to visit during winter. A well-known ski and snowboarding resort with slopes for every level, this place may not be as popular with foreigners as Niseko, but it remains a popular resort for the locals 🏂⛷ A must- go for ski and snow-boarding fans as this place is muchore affordable than Niseko! Hakuba is also fairly accessible with a Shinkansen to Nagano and then a direct bus up the mountain 🥳 Worried about not speaking Japanese? No worries! Many foreigners from Western speaking countries work here and you’ll find more Australians or Americans than locals working the slopes 😉 #skiadventure

I went to Iwatake Snowfield in Nagano Prefecture! A mountain resort where you can enjoy the overwhelming beauty of a 360° panorama, skiing down a variety of courses in the natural terrain that stretches from north to south and east to west, and enjoying the fantastical world of silvery white snow to your heart's content! Please come and visit us sometime~ #skiing#Nagano#Iwatake#great view

This hot spring facility is located right in front of the Hakuba Happo Bus Terminal. The water is characterized by its slippery spring quality. After mountain climbing or winter sports, come here when your body is cold, wash off the sweat, and soak in the hot water while looking at the peak of Hakuba. It's the best, so please try it. #Hakuba #Nagano #HotSpring #SummerShortTrip

📍HAKUBA VALLEY Hakuba Iwatake Snow Park I don't plan to ski in Hakuba this time, I just want to play in the snow and soak in hot springs. On the first day, take the cable car to Hakuba Iwatake Ski Resort. I bought a sightseeing pass and went to the ice and snow park on the mountain. There aren't many people on weekday mornings, so you can play the Snow Mountain Swing without queuing. It's so beautiful to take pictures with the Northern Alps of Japan as the background! Afterwards, we went to the Instagram-famous observation deck to have coffee and check in. Then we went to the nearby snowfield to rent snow tubs and snow equipment, and before going down the mountain, we went to Canteen to eat curry rice~ We had a relaxing first day in Hakuba. #GlobalTravel #Nagano #Snow Scenery

#skitrip the powder snow! I flew to Nagano❄️ I often hear people talk about how cool the powder snow in Hakuba is, but I didn't realize how refreshing it was until I experienced it myself! Take the Shinkansen 🚄 from Tokyo to Nagano Station, and then take the hot spring hotel's shuttle bus directly to the hotel. The whole trip is very convenient. The hotel provides a shuttle bus 🚌 to Hakuba Goryu Ski Resort 🎿 (about 40 minutes by car). After skiing every day, I return to the hotel to soak in the hot springs, which feels particularly comfortable. The open-air hot springs can also see the magnificent scenery of the Alps, which can relax both the body and mind. Hakuba Goryu and Hakuba47 ski resorts have a wide range of ski trails, and the cable cars are very fast, and there is almost no need to queue. The slope of the ski resort is also friendly to novices. It happened to be a heavy snow on the day we arrived❄️, and the powder snow covered the entire slide. It didn't hurt to fall, and it was very cool to ski! The hot spring hotel has a lounge with a brick door in Hakuba Goryu 🏨, and I also found a particularly beautiful big tree in the ski resort, which became an unexpected check-in point. This hotel is an authentic folk-style cottage with a strong atmosphere. You can drink a cup of hot sake by the fireplace, which is a warm enjoyment after skiing. The room is designed with traditional tatami, and some rooms have their own private hot spring, which is very suitable for families or friends to stay together. The hotel's loft room can accommodate 4 people, which is an ideal choice for skiing friends to gather. It is recommended to choose the "one night and two meals" package, which is convenient and worry-free. 🚌Transportation Tips: ✅Hotel shuttle bus time from Nagano Station: 1pm. ✅Hotel to Hakuba Goryu shuttle bus: 8:30am, 10:00am. ✅Hakuba Goryu return hotel shuttle bus: 3:00pm, 4:30pm. 🏂Skiing Tips: ✅If you don't have ski equipment, you can buy or rent it at the ski resort, which is very convenient.
