We're glad it helped! Hopefully we can make an updated vid this year! I saw the shuttle bus / night ride service is going to be expanded upon this year so hopefully that makes getting around easier! You'll have to let us know how it is!
Good vid, looks like you guys didnt get to stay near happo which is unfortunate, id say goryu is definitely one of the more difficult places to stay in hakuba. if you ever go back i have some recomendations.try stay near happo as you said booking is competitive in hakuba but sometimes you get lucky. Places to eat id recommend, Ramen Tottsuan epic ramen hard to get into with too many people, Maeda for lunch soba, Sobasyubou ZEN amazing cold soba and "japanese vibe", Yamagami huge gyoza plate with 30 gyoza and pretty good curry and although im reluctant to share this one honestly KIHACHI place is run by a family and its amazing in my opinion. Make sure your booking otherwise your very unlikely to get seats to eat anywhere at a decent time you can just ask your accommodation staff they will usually be able to help. Don't bother going to the Australian-washed bars like Blizzard, check at Hakubar instead it's tucked away under the shoe repair shop. If you are a powder head Goryu, 47, and Happo arnt the place to be, head out to Tsugaike or Cortina you will probably find more tree runs and backcountry off-piste. onsen recomendations are Kurashita and mimizuku. Hope you guys had fun.
Hey! These are AMAZING recommendations thank you so much for taking the time to share. We're planning on another trip there this winter and we will definitely keep all of this in mind. Did you have a car? Or just the bus system?
You went in late december - did you get a good sense of the snow coverage overall. We're headed there in mid december which i know might be a bit earlier but I understood you still can spread the odds across the different resorts :) Great video :) Pete
Thanks for watching! The snow was decent around New Years but it’s usually a much deeper base in January/February once the temperatures drop further and they get more regular snow storms. Either way, there should be plenty of snow at least on the main slopes, but the back country may be a little dicey that early. Enjoy the trip! It’s a beautiful place.
Actually a solid tutorial. Cheers mate, hope you had fun.
Thanks for watching!
This video was so helpful.. thank you for sharing I will be there in 10 days!
Thanks for the video! I'll be going there in two months!
