A mountain resort offering magnificent scenery and a variety of activities throughout the year.
This mountain resort offers spectacular scenery throughout the seasons, from fresh greenery in spring and refreshing alpine landscapes in summer to three-tiered autumn colors across the Japanese Northern Alps in fall. The snow resort opens in winter, featuring a magnificent 360-degree panorama of a magical snow-covered world and a wide variety of courses that extend in every direction across the natural terrain. Visitors of all skill levels can choose how they want to explore the mountain, from Iwatake Back Bowl—one of the area's largest powder zones, offering the sensation of skiing straight into the Alps—to long courses suitable for beginners.
In addition to a wide variety of courses designed around the natural terrain, the mountaintop area features IWATAKE WHITE PARK, where “non-skiers” can also have fun. Activities include snowshoeing, visiting snow huts, and gathering around a bonfire in the snow. The scenic Yoo-Hoo! Swing presented by The Battle Cats is popular during both the winter and green seasons.
At the 1,289-meter summit of Mt. Iwatake, accessible by gondola, HAKUBA MOUNTAIN HARBOR is a popular café and terrace offering panoramic views of the Japanese Northern Alps. Open during both the winter and green seasons, it is especially scenic when the fresh greenery and autumn foliage are at their peak. The terrace is also home to THE CITY BAKERY, a popular bakery from New York. Be sure to check out its exclusive menu items, available only here and made with ingredients from the Hakuba area.

Come and experience the ski slopes used by Olympic athletes! Seriously cool—absolutely awesome!
Hakuba Iwatake Ski Resort's highest elevation is 1,289 meters, which is a bit lower compared to other places in Hakuba, but the snow is super soft and powdery. Since it's not so high up, there are lots of sunny days ☀️. This is the place to go! 😆
Hakuba Ski Village covers a huge area and the mountains are really tall—definitely one of the top spots. The snow quality is excellent, and besides skiing, you can also stay at one of the hot spring hotels here ❤️. Totally worth coming for a ski trip! 👍
