Hakuba Goryu - The Gateway to Hakuba!

Hakuba Goryu is located at the base of the North Alps and at the entrance to the famous Hakuba village in Nagano Prefecture. With skiing and snowboarding available from late November until into the spring, it's a long season!  There's a lot of activities to choose from - as well as skiing and snowboarding, there's sledding, our popular "nighta" night-time skiing on the 1500 meter Toomi Gelende, our 400 meter mogul course (often home to official mogul events), private pole courses and more.

On the Toomi Gelende, the Base Center "Escal Plaza" is open from 11:30pm until 10:30pm, with places to rest overnight also available.

At the base of Iimori Gelende can be found "Restaurant Iimori" - providing Japanese, Western and Chinese style menus - shops, halls and other facilities.

At the resort you will also find other facilities there to make your time at the resort more comfortable - from our variety of restaurants, Nursery room for small children, resting areas and souvenir shops.
