Day 1
Hakuba Valley Ski Pass
Ten resorts, one pass, the freedom to ski wherever the snow is best each day. Happo-One for long cruising runs and Olympic-grade terrain. Cortina for deep tree runs and serious powder stashes. Hakuba 47 and Goryu for variety and vertical. Iwatake for quieter runs and panoramic views. Your QR code arrives 30 days before check-in. Number of ski days customisable, confirm in your quote request.
Day 2
HHG Transfers
Hakuba Hotel Group properties offer complimentary shuttles from either Hakuba Train Station or Happo Bus Depot to your accommodation. HHG transfers are also available between the chalet, restaurants and the mountain throughout your stay.
Day 3
Free Daily Ski Shuttles
Shuttle stops within walking distance of the chalet connect you to all resorts across the valley. No car hire, no logistics headache. Check the conditions, decide where you're going and get on.
Day 4
Ski and Snowboard Rental
Available for the full duration of your stay. Confirm boot size, equipment preference and ability level with the ARRIVAL team and we’ll have everything sorted before you arrive.
Day 5
Lessons
Available for all levels from complete beginners through to those working on specific technique. Flag in your quote request and we'll build lessons into your custom itinerary.
Day 6
Exploring Hakuba Village (Encouraged)
Off the mountain, Hakuba's village has everything you need and nothing that feels unnecessary. Convenience stores stocked better than most supermarkets. Ramen spots with six seats and a chef who's been making the same broth for twenty years. Izakayas where you point at things and they're always good. A few bars that get livelier than they look from the outside. Wander without a plan and something good will find you.
Day 7
Onsen Sessions (Encouraged)
After back-to-back powder days your legs will tell you it's time. Hakuba has several onsens within easy reach, some rustic, some resort-style, all of them worth the visit. Slide into water hot enough to revive your body for the next day, stare at the steam rising into the cold mountain air. One of the non-negotiable parts of any Japan ski week. ARRIVAL will point you toward the right ones before you arrive.
Day 8
Departure
You'll leave with tired legs, likely a few new friends and that post-trip haze where normal life feels deeply unmotivating. That's the Hakuba effect.
