Happo One is the largest and most well-known ski resort in the Hakuba area of Nagano.

Among the resorts, it is closest to the village center and Hakuba Station, making a visit even sweeter. It hosted several events for the Olympics in Nagano, which is probably the best sign of the quality of the slopes. A one-day pass for Happo-one is ¥8,000.

Happo-One (that’s pronounced “o-ne” not “one”!) has 21 different lifts and gondolas, providing access to 16 beginner, intermediate, and advanced runs.
