Hakuba Japan Ski Trip - Resort, Backcountry, & Trip Tips
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лют 2025
- Hakuba, Japan is a world class ski destination. The Hakuba valley consists of 10 different mountain resorts all within several kilometers of each other (see map at 1:58 in video). You can buy lift tickets that give you access to any mountain and include a free shuttle between the different resorts.
We spend 5 days in Hakuba skiing several different resorts, doing a day in the backcountry and taking some time to explore the area including the area where you find the famous Japanese Snow Monkeys.
Useful tips from our trip:
1. Insurance: A great insurance company that we used which includes great coverage to rescue you from skiing or exploring the backcountry can be found here: mbsy.co/tugo/7... If you get lost or need to be rescued it can cost over $20,000 in Japan! Having the insurance is well worth the piece of mind.
2. Check the forecast: We got lucky and had amazing snow. Keep an eye on the forecast to see what time of year you're planning to go and their typical snowfall (Late Jan/ Feb are typically the best months).
3. RESORTS:
Biggest resort in Hakuba Valley: Happo One
Most powder: Cortina (closest to the coast)
Best for tree skiing: Tsugaike (advanced only!)
4. Backcountry Guide Company we used:
www.evergreen-...
5. Awesome Mnt Snack: check out the rice triangles from the local convenience stores.

And re back country, there is no standardised guide qualification required like in Europe, also no National coordinated SAR, should things go wrong. Also Travel insurance doesn’t cover skiing outside patrolled ski area, so it pays to be super aware and careful of who your guide is and what experience and qualifications they have…
Looks Amazing - what month was this?
Late Feb. We got lucky :)
I got triggered by how you pronounced these names 😂
Not Happe ONE...Happe O-Nea.
I'm plannig to visit Hakuba in Feb 2023. How much was the day trip to the Snow Monkeys Onsen and is it required to book in advance?
Hey, I can remember the price exactly. I think it was around $60 per person for the bus ride there and back and access to the snow monkeys. The bus ride was around 45min and you do need to book it in advance. We booked it the day before and there was still space.
Au $150 per person
How did you get your tank for your bca bag filled ?? Don’t you have to empty it to fly??
I didn't have an airbag.
Which hotel did you stay in?
In Hakuba? Check out 0:52 of the video. Hanosato Hotel. I might be spelling that wrong!
What happened with Air Canada?
After months of waiting and finally getting in touch they actually reimbursed me for the bindings! They said it was a 1 off case because they don't usually cover sports equipment so not sure if others can expect the same treatment. I was very releaved!
What was the outcome with your binding?
