Only after arriving at Hakkoda do you realize what's truly worth experiencing in life

Here's a detailed guide to make it easier for everyone to check in! 🚇Transportation: 1️⃣·Fly directly from some domestic cities to Aomori Airport✈️ → Uber to the hotel. The taxi fare from the airport🚖 to the hotel is about 6000 yen = 300rmb 2️⃣·Fly from domestic cities to Tokyo✈️ → JR🚄 to Shin-Aomori Station (a little over 3 hours) → JR🚇 Ou Main Line to Aomori Station (one stop, 6 minutes) → Walk🚶 to the hotel 3⃣️·Hotel → Walk to Aomori Station and take the bus🚌 Line 11 towards Suntory Onsen → Hakkoda Ski Resort, buddies take note there are three buses a day to and from the ski resort🏔️ at (uphill at 8:00 10:50 12:30, downhill at 10:43 13:43 15:28) Pay attention to the departure times⚠️ Missing the last bus means having to take a taxi down the mountain, which is a bit pricey! 4⃣️·Chartered car: Book a car through a local travel agency, usually a ten-seater Toyota Sea Lion, picking up around 8:00 at the hotel entrance, 3500 yen/person/round trip. 🏨Accommodation: Recommend Daiwa Roynet Hotel Aomori, a three-star standard, chain, clean with a laundry room, in the heart of the business district, about 300 meters walk🚶 to the urban rail station; convenience store·restaurant right downstairs; bathroom with separate wet and dry areas, and a bathtub, perfect for a bath after skiing 🎫Ski Pass: Purchase by the number of uses, 6-time pass 6100 yen = 320 rmb 11-time pass 10100 yen = 520 rmb Monthly pass 30000 yen = 1500 rmb Season pass 63000 yen = 3150 rmb Those who love Hakkoda usually go for the monthly pass, super cost-effective 🏂Ski Resort: Hakkoda is located in Aomori City in the northeastern part of Japan, with spectacular ice trees and breathtaking scenery on clear days; the snowfall is one of the highest in Japan. The ski resort has a wild feel like Wild Card Gorge·Wild Snow Park, with no machine-groomed slopes; there are safely planned areas with poles, but to get a better experience, you must have a partner who is very familiar with the mountain shape or hire a guide (guide fee 600-1000rmb per person) Every morning around 7:00, the official website will post the ski resort's operating conditions (🉑PM me for the official website link) 🍽️Cuisine: There are many seafood izakaya-style restaurants here! The scallops are plump, the sashimi is fresh, and the prices are affordable. Since I'm not too keen on good food, I mostly eat at the nearby Yoshinoya, occasionally going to the seafood market for sashimi, etc... Summary: The only downside of Hakkoda is that the cable car stops running when the wind is strong, but there's a chairlift next to it that's fun to play on. Whenever the wind is too strong for the cable car, I have a blast on the neighboring chairlift! Personally, I think Hakkoda has the best snow in Japan and is definitely worth the visit! Plan enough time for your trip, as we might have to deal with the uncertainty of the ski resort closing. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments section, I'll answer anything...
