The best thing about Happo is the variety. There’s a bit of everything — cruisy groomers, steeper runs up top, and plenty to keep intermediate and advanced skiers entertained. You can do nice long top-to-bottom laps without feeling like you’re just riding lifts all day, which I loved. The snow wasn’t amazing this season compared to typical Japan powder standards, but honestly it didn’t matter. We still had heaps of fun, found good patches higher up, and the runs were well maintained. On clear days the views are unreal, especially from the upper mountain. It’s also super easy to head into the village after skiing for food or drinks, which makes the whole experience even better. I’d definitely go back.

This time, Coach Nai Pi led four children, ranging in age from 14 to 21. Coach Nai Pi was tirelessly patient in teaching each one individually, ensuring that even the weaker children were not left behind, providing one-on-one instruction. The children who progressed faster were also able to ski down the mountain on their own, and everyone felt a great sense of accomplishment. We hope to have the opportunity to have Coach Nai Pi continue to guide them next time. Thank you to the ski instructors.

My experience at Hakuba skiing was perfect from the moment I made the reservation. I booked the lessons well in advance, and the email communication was extremely efficient. They even created a group chat to confirm everything before we left, which made me feel very reassured. We originally booked the Tsugaike lessons, but the instructor suggested switching to Iwatake because we were complete beginners and the slopes are more suitable for beginners. This decision proved to be very wise! The terrain at Iwatake is very beginner-friendly. This 6-hour course was like a "crash course": We not only learned how to do front and back edge sliding, edge changes, and falling leaf, but we even unlocked straight running! The instructor was very patient and explained the theory in a simple and easy-to-understand way, making the potentially dull movements easy to grasp. Most touchingly, when we went down the mountain, we realized we had left our backpack at the top. After leaving, the instructor returned to help us contact the ski resort staff to find it and even drove us back to the hotel. We are so grateful! I would definitely give it a 10/10. If you want to learn to ski in Hakuba, you can book with confidence.

It was cheaper than buying directly from the official source, and the ticketing process was smooth because it was all done by machine, so there was no need to wait in line!

Very well-organized ski resort with a smooth and modern system. Collecting the ski pass at the machine via QR code was fast and convenient, saving a lot of time compared to waiting in line. The lifts were well managed and never felt crowded, so waiting times were minimal. Overall, a great skiing experience — everything worked perfectly and I was fully satisfied.
