YKBJ:“Tsugaike was so much better for us newbies compared to happo-one. so many more choices for beginner runs and so many more choices for food. Even have 4-20 pies!!!”
啾啾小秋秋:“Hakuba Happoone Ski Resort is located in Karamatsudake, Nagano Prefecture, Japan, only two and a half hours' drive from Narita Airport. It is the largest single-site ski resort in Japan.
Hotels in Hakuba basically include ski tickets. Just tell the hotel in advance.”
常东🇨🇳:“It takes two hours by Shinkansen from Tokyo to Nagano. It is convenient and cheap. Skiing in China is not that cheap. Except that there is no food near the ski resort, everything else is good. The ski resort is good, but beginners should not come here.”
淡泊宁静静:“Baima is famous for hosting the Winter Olympics in 1998!
I stayed here for two days and looked around. The house is beautiful and has a European style. Unfortunately, no one stayed there, and most of the bars and restaurants were closed!”
Todemmy:“[Scenery] There are many similar canyons in the Kurobe Gorge area. The tour modes are similar. They are all cruises, and then climbing mountains to see the distant view. They are all good. You can choose one to visit. [Fun] It takes about a day. The style is more relaxed and free, so you don't need to rush.”
えむ| ひとり旅 韓国旅行 国内旅行:“The view from Mountain Harbor is amazing♡
The leaves are starting to change color and it's beautiful🍁
There's CITY BAKERY and soup stock so you can relax, and there are also activities like horse riding and yoga so you can enjoy the whole day!
It's a little cold at the top of the mountain so it's a good idea to bring a jacket in addition to your usual clothes🫧”

[Pushpin] Route: From the top of the mountain, take the 5-cable car all the way down to the green park cable car station. Then take the cable car back to the top of the mountain. There is a sign for the desperate photo point in the middle. (Tested: Fun!)
📝Tips:
1. Pay special attention to the last time of the cable car, take the cable car back to the ground around 4:30.
2. The weather on the top of the mountain is changeable. We went up twice. The first time it rained heavily. Once it rained heavily, there was nothing to do. The scenery was completely different (the difference between sunny and rainy days is completely different)
3. In winter, you need to check the official website for the business hours of winter seoson in advance. It may be closed. Everyone goes skiing in winter😂”
