I’ll be disappearing for 3 days this weekend, to go snowboarding in Hakuba. Resort reports claim it’s drowning in powder which sounds great! Definitely looking forward to getting out there again! We’ve also got a room at a great little hotel we know which has great food. We’ve also got the Playstation 2 and a few DVDs packed to relax in front of after a hard 8 hours on the snow! Game on…

Hey – how was Hakuba? I’m pretty green to the snowboarding areas in Central Japan – eager to hear your feedback. Tips on places to stay??
Regs!
Hi,
Just a quick response, as I’m on the road with my faithful old laptop visiting people through oshogatsu. Needless to say, Hakuba (Happo) was a great place as ever – the powder was great, and there’s a decent variety of courses. It’s maybe not up to Niseko levels, but it really is worth going to. I can recommend a great place to stay – the Hotel Taigakukan – which is a small family owned place which is cheap but has great food, nice rooms, a nice little bar and some great rotenburo.

Hope this helps, let me know if there’s anything else you need, and thanks for putting a comment on Nanikore!
