From there, you can enjoy a 360° panoramic view of the Northern Alps, Hakuba, and the mountains of northern Shinano. The magnificent observation deck "HAKUBA MOUNTAIN HARBOR" and diverse activities like "Hakuba Ichinokurasawa Forest" will rejuvenate your mind and body in the refreshing mountain air. On the newly upgraded 10-person cable car in December 2024, you can enjoy a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view. The joy of ski season (white season) Enjoy diverse snow sports in the vast ski area. In winter, Hakuba transforms into a dreamy silver world, attracting countless skiers and snowboarders. However, Hakuba Iwatake, an independent peak in Hakuba (elevation 1,289m), is often misunderstood as a "small ski resort" because the summit area isn't visible from the base cable car station or National Route 148. Yet once you visit, you'll be awestruck by the majestic summit zone and the 360° panoramic views of the Northern Alps—many guests become completely hooked! Numerous visitors consider this their "hidden ski spot," returning again and again. Additionally, the resort features multiple diverse ski slopes designed to blend seamlessly with the natural terrain, catering to both skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts. Visitors can also enjoy various snow activities like cross-country skiing and snowshoeing. Don't miss the chance to experience the renowned "Hakuba Iwatake Snow Field," a must-visit destination evolved from the ski resort. The naturally designed ski trails offer diverse and free-flowing experiences. We've added snowmaking equipment to extend the season, allowing earlier and longer enjoyment of the cable car loop from peak to base. Feel like you're gliding through the Alps while enjoying the powder snow in the "Iwatake Back Bowl" area, plus we offer 7 ungroomed zones perfect for beginners!

It takes two hours by Shinkansen from Tokyo to Nagano. It is convenient and cheap. Skiing in China is not that cheap. Except that there is no food near the ski resort, everything else is good. The ski resort is good, but beginners should not come here.

The view from Mountain Harbor is amazing♡ The leaves are starting to change color and it's beautiful🍁 There's CITY BAKERY and soup stock so you can relax, and there are also activities like horse riding and yoga so you can enjoy the whole day! It's a little cold at the top of the mountain so it's a good idea to bring a jacket in addition to your usual clothes🫧
