Hakuba Ski Packages

Set in the heart of the stunning Japanese Alps, Hakuba ski packages offer an unbeatable combination of world-class skiing, deep powder, Japanese culture, and spectacular alpine scenery. Whether you’re a family, a group, or an adventure-seeker, Hakuba delivers something special for every snow lover.

Why Choose Hakuba for Your Ski Holiday?

Once a quiet farming village, Hakuba rose to international fame after hosting events during the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics—and it hasn’t looked back since. Today, it’s one of Japan’s most diverse and accessible ski destinations, welcoming skiers and snowboarders from around the world. With reliable snowfall, expansive terrain, modern lifts, and a wide range of accommodations, Hakuba is a go-to for travellers wanting a mix of authentic Japan and top-tier ski infrastructure.

The Hakuba Valley: 10 Resorts, 1 Lift Pass

The Hakuba Valley is made up of 10 ski resorts, all accessible with a single lift ticket and connected via shuttle buses. This gives you access to a wide range of terrain—from long groomers and powder-filled bowls to terrain parks and backcountry tours. Whether you’re just learning to ski or chasing deep lines, Hakuba has it all.

Happo-One: The biggest and most popular resort, known for its long runs and Olympic-level terrain.
Iwatake: Scenic and less crowded, great for intermediate cruising and views of the Northern Alps.
Hakuba 47 & Goryu: Linked resorts ideal for families and freestylers, with great tree runs and terrain parks.
Tsunekiyo, Norikura, Cortina: Powder playgrounds offering off-piste and backcountry adventure.

Not Just for Skiers: Culture, Cuisine & Onsens

Hakuba offers much more than just incredible snow. Non-skiers and rest-day explorers will find local shrines, traditional villages, scenic day tours, and one of Japan’s most iconic experiences—seeing the famous snow monkeys of Jigokudani in nearby Nagano. The village also features an excellent range of restaurants, cafés and bars serving up everything from traditional izakaya meals to international cuisine. And of course, there’s no better way to unwind after a day on the slopes than soaking in a natural onsen. Hakuba is known for its mineral-rich hot springs, beloved for their relaxing and beautifying properties.

Ikon Pass vs Epic Pass in Hakuba

Planning to use a season pass? Good news—Hakuba Valley is part of the Epic Pass network, making it an excellent option for Epic Pass holders. The Ikon Pass is not valid in Hakuba, so if you’re deciding between resorts, this can be a key factor in choosing your ski holiday.

That was my first trip to Japan and I had an absolute blast

Hi Mel and Susan,

Just wanted to thankyou both for doing an amazing job of taking care of our trip to Japan.

That was my first trip to Japan and I had an absolute blast.

The accommodation in both destinations were so well located in both instances.

I know we chased you guys up in early December so the results you git us are even more remarkable

James House in Nozawa was essentially Board in and Out far better than friends who were at the other end of town getting on travelator every day and the

Swiss bakery 1minute walk away was always great for a quick Brekke.

And The HOTEL: WEISSER HOF HAPPEI was hilarious. It was like a WIM WENDERS time capsule film set with a lovely family right in the heart of Happo.

Will definitely be booking thru you guys again for the next trip.

Thank you Alison for all the work you did in organising a fantastic holiday . Hakuba was an unbelievable place to stay and the two weeks I spent there , it will always be one of the best holidays ever .

The staff at the Gondola Lodge we very helpful the rooms / amenities were always clean and being opposite Gondola Adam made it so easy to hit the powder first thing (after breky)

Only 1 problem I should have gone to the JHN counter on arrival for Hakuba transfer (bit of confusion at the airport)

Fantastic Hakuba

February 10, 2019

We just got back from our ski trip to Hakuba this morning and it was amazing! We all had an absolutely fantastic time and everything was extremely well organised. The only slight error was that we requested western beds and we got Japanese beds but they were very comfortable and we survived intact!

Thanks again for all the organisation on your and Carly’s behalf. It was a blast!
