Even fewer places offer such convenient libations on the side of ski slopes.<\/p>\n<p>In Hakuba, lager-dispensing vending machines are just one of the intoxicating features of a visit to this buzzing Japanese ski town on the main island of Japan. They jut out from thick powder snow at the base of mountains, to the joy of exhausted skiers and snowboarders needing carb replenishment.<\/p>\n<p>And while cheap beers are a major drawcard for the many Australians visiting Hakuba each year, they are certainly not the only one.<\/p>\n<h3>Japow in Hakuba<\/h3>\n<p>More than 11 metres of snow (known as\u00a0<em>yuki <\/em>in Japanese) top up the ski slopes on an average year in Hakuba. 10 different ski resorts, 135 lifts and more than 200 runs are also enticing stats claimed by the region. Perhaps even more enticing is the fact that those Australians who hold an Epic Pass (a season pass at Perisher) can ski five days for free at any of Hakuba\u2019s resorts.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-43587 size-large\" src=\"http:\/\/hakuba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/Tsugaike-Mountains-1024x578.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"361\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Like in Niseko, plenty of Western food and accommodation options have popped up in Hakuba to cater to the growing international market. Most restaurants have English-speaking staff and you can get by without knowing a word of Japanese (if that\u2019s how you like to travel). But there are still some secret powder stashes and unique cultural experiences that you won\u2019t find anywhere else in the world (hello, vending machine beers).<\/p>\n<h3>Heading to Hakuba for the first time?

This Hakuba powder is an absolute dream to ride.<\/p>\n<p>Winter seasons are always a toss up as to when the getting will be good, but the safe bet is to book a January or February trip if you want guaranteed powder. Don\u2019t worry too much if the snowfall is minimal in December: there is a saying that declares \u201conce the Japanese powder window opens it stays open\u201d. This has proven true in recent seasons as Hakuba provides weekly and sometimes twice a week storms supplying over a meter of fresh snow well into March.<\/p>\n<p>The slopes can be busy during the January school holidays but quieten down in late February and March. Note that accommodation becomes cheaper in the second half of February, when there is still plenty of powder to go around.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42342\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42342\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-42342 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/35.74.11.136\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/First-Time-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"http:\/\/35.74.11.136\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/First-Time-4.jpg 768w, http:\/\/35.74.11.136\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/First-Time-4-300x240.jpg 300w, http:\/\/35.74.11.136\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/First-Time-4-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42342\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spring in Hakuba is also a great time to visit with some incredible backcountry touring on offer<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3><strong>How to get there<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Qantas and Jetstar fly to Tokyo daily and flights can be as cheap as $400 one-way on sale prices. If you book with Jetstar, beware the luggage limits and read the fine print in your ticket carefully \u2013 in most cases you will need to purchase extra oversized baggage to bring a ski bag. Do this in advance or you will be stung with massive fees at the airport.<\/p>\n<p>Once in Tokyo, getting to Hakuba is a quick trip via bullet train or bus. The bullet train zips you to Nagano in under three hours and from there you can take a local bus or shuttle to the slopes. The train journey has both good and bad point going for it: riding the 300km\/h bullet train is exciting for first-timers, but the journey requires three connections and can be tricky with baggage. If you are travelling with a family, the easiest option may be to book a transfer from the airport direct to your accommodation with the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/naganosnowshuttle.com\/\">Nagano Snow Shuttle<\/a>. It takes a little longer (about five hours) but is cheaper and easier than lugging your bags between train stations.<\/p>\n<p>Hakuba.com offers some really cheap package deals that include <a href=\"http:\/\/52.196.41.243\/product-category\/accommodation\/\">accommodation<\/a> at well-located hotels, lift tickets and more.

You can buy multi-day\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.hakubavalley.com\/en\/ticket\">Hakuba Valley<\/a>\u00a0tickets, which give you access to any of these resorts and are useful if you want to ski two resorts in one day (some resorts like Cortina and Norikura are connected via lift access, and it\u2019s great to be able to ski both). You will also save time not lining up for tickets each morning. However, it ends up being mildly cheaper if you stick to one resort per day and are happy to queue for a single day ticket at each.<\/p>\n<p>The main resort of\u00a0<strong>Happo-One\u00a0<\/strong>is potentially the most crowded because it is closest to town. It also reaches above the tree-line and can be windy or icy due to the exposure. On the plus side, this exposure offers wide areas of untracked powder when there is a snowfall (which happens every few days in a standard Japan season).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42344\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42344\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-42344 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/35.74.11.136\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/First-Time-6.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"512\" srcset=\"http:\/\/35.74.11.136\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/First-Time-6.jpg 768w, http:\/\/35.74.11.136\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/First-Time-6-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/35.74.11.136\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/First-Time-6-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42344\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The tree skiing in Hakuba can be phenomenal. Evelina Nilsson on a great day. Photo: Zoya Lynch<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Tree skiing is best (and one of the few areas where it is allowed by ski patrol) at\u00a0<strong>Cortina<\/strong>, which is a little steeper than the other resorts and can be fantastic on a powder day. Unfortunately, the Cortina secret is well and truly out as it can also be the most crowded place on a powder day. It\u2019s about an hour bus ride away from Happo and the mountain doesn\u2019t open until 9am \u2013 so it can be frustrating for early birds itching to get out on the powder.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hakuba Goryu<\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>47\u00a0<\/strong>have extensive terrain for intermediates and advanced skiers, and 47 is popular among snowboarders for its terrain park.\u00a0<strong>Tsugaike\u00a0<\/strong>is fantastic on a powder day (head to the trees) and\u00a0<strong>Iwatake\u00a0<\/strong>is the best place to cruise groomers when it\u2019s sunny. The view from Iwatake\u2019s City Bakery at the top of the mountain, looking over the Japanese Alps, is outstanding.<\/p>\n<p>A note about skiing powder in Japan: most resorts have strict rules about going off-piste and in some you must attend an avalanche briefing to receive a tag or vest that enables you to go into designated \u201cpowder zones\u201d (Tsugaike and Goryu specifically require this). The ski patrollers are extremely strict on those\u00a0<em>gaijin<\/em>(foreigners) who ski under ropes. They will take your pass. You have been warned.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Where to stay<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>There are three main neighborhoods in Hakuba; these are <strong>Echoland<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Happo <\/strong>and\u00a0<strong>Wadano<\/strong>. Most hotels are close to the ski slopes of Happo-One in Happo and Wadano and are serviced by regular inter-resort shuttle buses. It\u2019s probably most convenient to stay in a hotel near a shuttle bus stop because the shuttles (free with the purchase of a Hakuba Valley Lift Pass) are essentially your ticket to ride other resorts. But if you\u2019re hoping for a cheaper option and don\u2019t mind walking a bit, look for Airbnb rentals in Echoland.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_42345\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-42345\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-42345 size-full\" src=\"http:\/\/35.74.11.136\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Deluxe-Twin.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" srcset=\"http:\/\/35.74.11.136\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Deluxe-Twin.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/35.74.11.136\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Deluxe-Twin-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/35.74.11.136\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Deluxe-Twin-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/35.74.11.136\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/Deluxe-Twin-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-42345\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Deluxe Twin at the Phoenix Hotel<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><b>The Happo,<\/b> the\u00a0<strong>Tokyu Hotel<\/strong>, and\u00a0<strong>Phoenix Hotel &amp; Chalets\u00a0<\/strong>all have shuttle stops pretty much outside their front doors.

The Australian staff make things easier from a language perspective, however you can still enjoy a semi-Japanese stay by sleeping on tatami mats (if you choose a Japanese room) and relaxing in the in-house onsen (it\u2019s technically a spa because it doesn\u2019t use onsen water, but you wouldn\u2019t know).<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Phoenix Hotel &amp; Chalets - Hakuba, Japan\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aWT7C2bsISA?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Happo is extremely convenient because shuttle buses stop at its doorstep, and it is just a 2-minute walk in ski boots to the central Hakuba bus station.
