Hakuba is home to eight different resorts that are all accessible by one lift pass (when booked through Deep Powder Tours), which means you could ride for days without turning on the same run twice.

It’s also known for offering some of Japan’s steepest terrain and has been granted the more dubious honour of being Japan’s sunniest resort. Unfortunately, when it’s sunny, it’s not snowing. But then again, sunny days can be good too….sometimes…

Hakuba is located three hours by rail west of Tokyo on the mainland of Japan.
