Hakuba Happo-one Ski Resort ['25-26]

The overwhelming scale and variety of slopes make this one of the best in Japan

If you're serious about skiing, there are few ski resorts that can compare to Happo. With an elevation difference of 1,071m, one of the highest in Japan, the trails extend from the top of the slope to ridges in four directions, most of which are medium-steep slopes that are plenty challenging to ski. Only at Happo can you speed across groomed runs that are pristinely packed from top to bottom for 1km. You'll want to hone your high-speed carving skills and feel like an alpine racer

The reason why Happo is considered the king of Hakuba is because it has a wide variety of slopes and undulations. It has top-notch quality in powder, moguls, terrain, and more

Music events held every day!

At the Oakley Terrace, a scenic terrace opening at the lower part of Usagidaira, music events will be held every day! It's called "HAPPO SUMMIT MUSIC."
Grab a drink and be captivated by the breathtaking views from an altitude of 1,400m and the DJ performance.
A special musical experience that will set your mind and body awaits you.

Event time: 12:00 - 15:30

"HAPPO PARKS -NATURES-" will be opening again this year

HAPPO PARKS -NATURES-, a surf-ride x freestyle park that makes the most of Happo's wide slopes and high-quality snow, is open again this year!
Supervised by "THE PARKS," Japan's top snow park construction team, this snow park makes the most of Happo's wide slopes, excellent terrain, and snow quality. You can enjoy a variety of styles, from turns and jumps to all genres. A long run from Skyline through the park is also highly recommended.

More gourmet food on the slopes

Hakuba Happo-one Ski Resort already boasts numerous dining options, but this winter, the menu and system have been further enhanced.
"Cafeteria YETI" offers a wide variety of dishes to meet guests' needs and provide highly satisfying meals, and reserved seats are available to ensure seating is available even during busy times.

At Kitaone Kogen Terrace, we offer unadon (eel rice bowls) and limited-time seafood bowls. We also recommend the popular Shinshu soba noodles, yakiniku bowls made with plenty of Hakuba's new rice, and soft serve ice cream

Maximum gradient: 32 degrees, average gradient: 16 degrees / Distance: Approximately 1000m / Slope orientation: North

This ski resort has a particularly varied terrain, making it a must-see for freeriders. The overall terrain is bowl-shaped, and it avoids the influence of the wind, making it easy for fresh snow to remain. From the top to Skier's Left, the terrain continues in a valley, so we recommend using the wall on the left side to ski down

Skier's Right has a gentle slope on the ridge. You can ski down into the valley from anywhere, so enjoy skiing down one side of the slope. The slope below the lift line at the bottom is often rough powder because there are many ski marks

Maximum gradient: 33 degrees, average gradient: 27 degrees / Distance: Approximately 500m / Slope orientation: East

The off-piste course "Omusubi," which comes into view as soon as you leave the gondola summit station, is an ungroomed deep powder spot for advanced skiers. There is a gate, and the course is open or closed depending on the inspection by patrols on days with good conditions between early January and early March

The upper section is undulating and has many jumping points. The lower section is a somewhat dense tree run. If you go too far to the skier's left, the traverse to return to the gate at the bottom will become longer, so be careful. This is a special place where you can soak up the finest powder piled up on the slopes

Maximum gradient: 31 degrees, average gradient: 27 degrees / Distance: Approximately 800m / Slope orientation: North

This off-piste area stretches across the northern slope of Kurobishi Pair Lift No. 3. Due to its high altitude and north-facing location, you can enjoy some of the best powder runs depending on the timing. When you look up, you'll be greeted by a spectacular view of the dynamic mountains of the Northern Alps

It's worth skiing this course just to experience this situation. It's prone to wind, and has a mix of snowdrifts and icy sections, making it quite difficult, but the sense of satisfaction when you finish is unbelievable
