[2025 Hakuba ] Travel Guide for Hakuba Iwatake Mountain Resort & Snow Field (Updated Mar)

|I Saw the Golden Mountain in Nagano: Hakuba Village.🏔️Hakuba is best known for its ski resorts, as it was one of the venues for the 1998 Winter Olympics. 🏠It's not snow season yet, so I stayed at a guesthouse in the village, where I could see the morning sun shining on the snow-capped mountains. 🚗There is a free bus from JR Hakuba Station to [Hakuba Iwatake], and then you can take a cable car to Mt. Iwatake (1,289 m), where you can ride a mountain bike at the top. 🥖The New York coffee shop [THE CITY BAKERY] has also opened a store at the top of the mountain, with outdoor seating overlooking the Northern Alps. The coffee shop has a glass-enclosed observation deck where you can take pictures, and there are a lot of people, especially on weekends when there are lines of tourists taking pictures. There is also a swing (for a fee) facing the mountains next to the coffee shop. 🍁This season, you can take pictures of the famous three-stage autumn leaves at the observation deck, with snow on the top of the mountain🏔️, autumn leaves on the mountainside🍁, and green trees at the foot of the mountain🍃. Iwatake Cable Car Green Season Operating Hours: 4/19–11/17

I went to Iwatake Snowfield in Nagano Prefecture! A mountain resort where you can enjoy the overwhelming beauty of a 360° panorama, skiing down a variety of courses in the natural terrain that stretches from north to south and east to west, and enjoying the fantastical world of silvery white snow to your heart's content! Please come and visit us sometime~ #skiing#Nagano#Iwatake#great view

The skiing trip in Hakuba Village was great. I learned how to snowboard and experienced the Iwatake Ski Resort with heavy snow and sunny weather. I will come back next year. The high-quality coaches made our learning very smooth. Trip.com's air tickets, hotel accommodation reservations and eSIM subscriptions are very convenient. In addition, flight status is updated in real time, which helped me simplify the tedious details of the entire trip. #白馬岩岳 🕰️Business hours: 9:00-16:00 🏖️Atmosphere/facilities: sightseeing cable car/skier-only cable car/scenic cafe/swing 💰Per capita consumption: around NT$2,000 💞Recommendation reason: complete facilities, a good place for skiers and tourists to have fun together, famous and delicious croissants

This is Iwatake mountain resort, Panorama view of Japan Alps, stunningly beautiful, the word beautiful is very wasteful. There are many ski slopes here, and the snow is not to be mentioned, it is very wet, everywhere you look there is only snow. I like this place very much, I will definitely go back. #Flying to Hong Kong #Traveling to Japan #Review Japan #Japan

my favorite snow city

Friends who enjoy outdoor sports and winter experiences. Don't miss out on this place! Nagano Prefecture's Hakuba Village is located on a plateau at an altitude of 700 meters. It is surrounded by the highest end of the Northern Alps and is known as the "roof of Japan". Here is a world-renowned skiing and vacation destination. Throughout the year, there are different landscapes and outdoor activities to experience. Let me share with you some outdoor experiences that I particularly enjoy! Snowmobile Riding a motorcycle in the snowy field during winter is simply too cool! The scenery around the Bai Ma Lion Adventure is particularly beautiful, with snow-capped mountains and rivers visible all along the way. Before cycling, there will be professional staff to guide and lead the way, so you can enjoy the scenery along the way while cycling in nature. Due to the varying degrees of wind and snow in winter, please remember to wear protective gear and prioritize your safety before playing! Cliff swing Have you ever experienced swinging on a swing at the edge of a cliff? It's my first time! And it's also on the mountaintop at an altitude of 1289 meters, facing the North Alps snow mountain! It's really exciting and romantic! Location is around the Bai Ma Yan Yue Ski Resort. The safety protection of the swing is still very good. It was my first time sitting on a swing with a safety belt. Beforehand, a staff member will confirm that your seatbelt is fastened securely, and then you can "fly" on the swing! I really want to come back here in summer and autumn, because what I see now is the scenery of snow-capped mountains, and the views in other seasons must be different. Snow hiking Amazing~ This time my experience of snow hiking turned out to be a free experience project provided by the hotel I stayed in. I stayed at the Tokyu White Horse Resort Hotel. Wear specialized snow hiking boots, grab a walking stick, and you can go snow hiking in the small forest of the hotel courtyard! In places with very thick snow, because of wearing special shoes, the feet won't sink too deep, it's like walking on snow with two small boats, very stable! It is said that there are many hotels in Japan with outdoor experience projects, such as accommodation in Okinawa where you can experience snorkeling, and hotels in Hokkaido where you can experience horse riding, which is quite interesting! There are many fun winter experiences in Bai Ma, such as exploring snow caves, playing ice sleds, and enjoying coffee and snacks on terraces with views of snow-capped mountains. Traveling here is especially joyful and relaxing! What is your favorite outdoor experience? Feel free to leave a message and let me know!
