Which Chalets, Villas, And Hotels To Stay In Hakuba With Kids And Groups Of Friends

Where to stay in Hakuba - hotels, villas, chalets

Hakuba is a pretty resort in Japan’s 3,000-metre-high Nothern Alps of Nagana Prefecture. It was once home to the Winter Olympics and the various alpine and Nordic events, and it’s since become one of Japan’s top winter destinations to ski and snowboard with family and friends. Annually, the average snowfall is well over 11 meters. It is a popular hub with 10 ski resorts in Hakuba Valley and over 200 runs of varying levels. The original Hakuba Ski Jumping Stadium remains in use throughout the winter months.

Hakuba can be accessed from Tokyo, Nagoya, and Kansai. Although it’s possible to make day trips, the resort is best experienced for at least a night or two. Various onsen ‘hot springs’ are dotted around the town to rejuvenate slope-tired limbs.

The major resorts offer the Hakuba Valley Ticket, which you can use at the participating resorts. Other combination tickets are available throughout your stay. The season tends to run from late November to early May.

Little Steps has compiled the definitive list of accommodations suitable for families with children who love snow.

Let’s hit the slopes!
