Kraut_in_HongKong 0 Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 Need: Bar recommendation in Hakuba, Echoland Can anybody give me a hint on useful bars in Echoland? Last year when I was in Hakuba it was dead after the lift stopped. OK, I went to the Tracks Bar party (cool place!) last year, but the taxi fare costs nearly as much as flying into Japan. Anything similar in Echoland? Or there simply not much of après-ski in Japan? Link to post Share on other sites

Kraut_in_HongKong 0 Posted December 20, 2007 Author Share Posted December 20, 2007 wanted (I edited it already) Maybe that was a little cryptic. Sorry. I found a reference for 2 bars: White Horse Bar & Yamano Hotel Bar ============== Ok Ok, I did some searching, White Horse Bar seem to be THE place in Echoland. Link to post Share on other sites

Mudguts 0 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 No apres ski as such exists in Hakuba. Alot of Hakuba locals insist that there's nitelife but from my experience it's really quiet in the evenings. I think if you live up there you would hear about upcoming events and parties but to the average triptaker you can't really walk into a bar and expect it to be full of people and atmosphere. Just from my experiences in Hakuba....unfortunately. Link to post Share on other sites
tripitaka 0 Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 SO I guess there's no drum and bass parties with massive sound systems. Oh well, can get that in the city anyway. Heard a rumor that the military guys can get a little rowdy. Oh, and the Aussies. Link to post Share on other sites

They're a little softer, aren't they? It's the marines who like to stir it up. To be honest, most of my experiences with jar-heads have been OK. You hear the stories though. Also heard about the Aussies in Niseko getting over the top.... fighting in izakayas, etc. Don't know how true it is. Link to post Share on other sites
