HAKUBA, THE MOUNTAIN RESORT
WITH A HISTORY OF OVER 100 YEARS
Hakuba Village's history as one of Japan's foremost international mountain resort dates back more than 100 years ago. Ever since the British mountaineer Walter Weston first visited Hakuba in 1894, It became a must-go for any mountain lover. The ski culture became popular in the Hakuba Mountain during the Taisho era(1912~1926), and the first lift was hung in 1952. Hakuba Village spreads out in the foot of the Japan Alps.
The people of Hakuba who are proud of their beautiful scenery have been continuing to welcome visitors into a world of fascinating nature.
