THE NOOK HAKUBA
POWDER HEAVEN IN THE JAPANESE ALPS
Why Hakuba?
Hakuba’s got that magic mix—jaw-dropping mountains, deep powder in winter, green valleys in summer, and a vibe that’s equal parts adventure and peace. With 10 ski resorts, natural hot springs, and more izakayas than you’ll know what to do with, it’s the kind of place where every day feels like a good day. Whether you're chasing fresh Japanese powder, sipping sake, or soaking in an onsen after a big hike, Hakuba gives you space to breathe, play, and just enjoy the ride.
Why Us?
You want somewhere that’s easy, comfortable, and doesn’t feel like a hotel lobby. You want hot showers, good vibes, and a place to kick back after chasing powder all day.
We’re not a five-star resort (and we don’t try to be). We’re the kind of place where you can leave your gear at the door, crack a beer, swap stories, and feel right at home.
Our lodge is warm, our beds are comfy, We have shuttles to run you in to town and back, and our crew is always happy to point you towards the best lines, best ramen, or best place to do absolutely nothing.
Book direct, Stay, chill, We'll take care of the rest.
Have we convinced you enough?
Konichiwa and welcome to The Nook Hakuba—where the pow’s deep, the vibes are high, and the crew’s always down for a good time. The Nook Hakuba is for those who live for first lifts, face shots, and that post-ride beer that hits just right. Good tunes and a vibe that feels more like a mate’s place than a hotel. Whether you’re here for the storm cycles, the park laps, or just the good times — we got you. No egos, just snow-loving humans chasing the dream. Come ride, chill, repeat.
