Hotels in Hakuba Ski, Japan
Hakuba Ski is a resort region in Japan's Nagano Prefecture, famous for its deep powder snow and Olympic history from the 1998 Winter Games. Winter temps range from -5°C to 3°C (23°F to 37°F), perfect for skiing at Happo-One or snowboarding at Hakuba 47; come summer, the slopes transform into hiking trails with views of the Northern Alps, and you can tube down the Hime River. If you visit in spring, the Sakura bloom makes the valley green again, but winter is still the big draw for that legendary pow.
