-Ski Resort-
Hakuba Iwadake Ski Resort
Hakuba Iwatake is the only independent peak in Hakuba Village (1,289 meters above sea level). Because the summit area is not directly visible from the cable car station at the foot of the mountain or from National Route 148, it is often mistaken for a "small ski resort". In reality, first-time visitors are often amazed by the magnificent views from the summit and the 360° panoramic views of the Northern Alps, and become deeply fascinated by it. Many consider it their own "hidden ski resort" and return multiple times.
-Ski equipment rental details-
