Hakuba

Hakuba valley ski resorts

The Hakuba Valley is located (map) in the North of Nagano Prefecture. It is easily accessed by the Nagano Shinkansen and then by road; or by direct bus or snow shuttle from Narita Airport.

The Hakuba Valley is drained by the Himekawa River flowing North into the Sea of Japan, and to the south by the Takase River which flows in a large loop south then northeast past Nagano becoming the Chikuma River, then the Shinano River before exiting in the Sea of Japan. The most northerly of the ski areas, Cortina, is 36km^[1] from the coast. Hakuba was the site for alpine events in the 1998 Nagano Olympics, and now is a ski resort destination.

Ski areas

Almost all the ski fields are located on the north western side of the valley. The list below is in south to north order.
