bobajob 0 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Wasn't sure which forum was right for this, so apologies if I've landed in the wrong place. I'm planning to pop the Q to my girlfriend while we're snowboarding in Hakuba week after next. We're staying at Happoone....but have never been to Hakuba before. Does anyone have a favourite view high up or a really good spot in the Hakuba resorts that they'd reccomend as, you, know, romantic and crap ? Cheers in advance. Link to post Share on other sites

Gunma Boarder 14 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 KFC at Tsugaike She can't say no after some fried chicken! I have never been to Hakuba but Muikabochi's pics of Happo-one looked really nice and romantic Also this is the place for this sort of inquire. http://www.snowjapanforums.com/index.php/topic/21426-happo-one-hakuba-nagano-20th-february-2012/page__hl__happo__fromsearch__1 Good luck!

bobajob 0 Posted March 1, 2014 Author Share Posted March 1, 2014 KFC at Tsugaike I like to think I have a little class, but not sure the budget will stretch to the colonel. Nice thought though. Link to post Share on other sites

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Isn't there a little rock shrine or bell or something at the top of Happo? Not sure how "romantic and crap" it would be (never been), but might be a fittingly symbolic place. (Or not -- as I said, never been, so don't know.) Would tend to vote against the monkey onsen. Never been there either though, so I may be completely wrong about that. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Have to say when I went to Hakuba I didnt find anywhere really worth any views but then it was cloudy with intermittent snow and odd sunny spells. It might look better on a clear day though. But the top somewhere would be your best bet. Link to post Share on other sites
NECK 14 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Isn't there a little rock shrine or bell or something at the top of Happo? That is at the top of Goryu. Far from KFC and nowhere near as romantic Link to post Share on other sites

Chriselle 158 Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 Go up to the very top of Happo...then hike up the ridge and do your thing up there. If it's a clear day the view is pretty nice. Congratulations BTW... Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 That little stone thingy up at the top just beyond the top lifts at 47/Goryu is kawaii, as shown here by muika Next best is that Uncle Stevens or whatever it's called that does lots of great diet Mexican style food.

Mick Rich 78 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Yeah, it is nice up there if the weather's good. Plus it's usually quiet as it's a bit of climb/hike up, so there's less chance of someone else seeing the down on bended knee shinanigans ;-) Good luck and let us know how it goes!!!

NoFakie 45 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 I reckon you should book the private onsen in the lodge at the far end of Wadano for an hour or two. It's outdoors, overlooks some woods that'll be very snowy, and you can take some booze in to celebrate. The place you're staying should know what it's called, but holler if they don't.

boardbaka 3 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 how about the top of the olympic ski jump - you can pay 500yen and go up there - (its all downhill from there) all the best Link to post Share on other sites
DumbStick 13 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 Do you walk up stairs or is there a lift? Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 It's Bobajob's job to carry her up to the top... BTW.....I'd still carry my lovely wife up there......knowing her though, she'd start a fight halfway up and I'd end up throwing her off... Link to post Share on other sites
