One of Japan's largest resorts with 99 hotels to choose from.
Selected at the location for the Downhill in the1998 Winter Olympics.
Most of the skiing is of intermediate standard accessed by a gondola to the middle station at 1400 M.

　　The Hakuba Valley is probably the best skiing region in Japan, and Happo One is the best ski resort in Japan. With a backdrop of serious peaks reaching almost 3,050m, Happo One had well　staged the blue riband event of the 1998 Olympics: the men's downhill, the men's Super-G and ski jumping.
　　Happo has 35 lifts and the prettiest resort village a slightly Walt Disneyish collection of crenellated, mock Tudor buildings through which winds an attractive narrow street lined with shops and restaurants.
　　The Hokuba Valley has been one of the longer train journeys from Tokyo (3hr 25min by limited express, with an awkward platform change at Matsumoto) but well worth the effort.
　　Now, you can enjoy the splendid 1 hr 30min tour from Tokyo to Nagano City using the bullet train. Followed by a 45minute bus drive, you will be here Hakuba from Tokyo in 2.5 hours.
　　There is also night skiing available.
