Mudguts 0 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Just returned from 6 days at Hakuba. Had an awesome time mainly at Happo. My pondering is the complete lack of places to socialise, like a bar or club that attracts women. We were there over the long weekend and expected some places to at least have a few but no one anywhere. Now, I don't go boarding to find women but it was frustrating to basically not see a woman out for 6 days. Is there anywhere that at least half-rocks in Hakuba? My warning is don't go to a restaurant down the road from Goryu called Junken pon. The food is absolutely crap! Apparently I'm not the first to say this either so my experience wasn't a one off, bad day for the joint. Anyone else been there? Link to post Share on other sites
number9 0 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 There is a bar near Jankenpon that's attached to the Alps Backpacker's. Not sure if or what kind of crowd it attracts, but apparently New Year's Eve was rocking, I saw the photos Link to post Share on other sites

Mudguts 0 Posted January 13, 2006 Author Share Posted January 13, 2006 Stayed at Hakuba Alps Backpackers and the name of their bar is Tracks. Went there a couple of nights and it was quiet Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 what days did you go? There are a few bars but the only rock when the locals get the news. Come to the party on the 28th there. Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Jankenpon is your bog-standard izakaya. Like many such places, forgetable. Bring some unattached women from Tokyo would be my advice to your other problem. The more, the better. Link to post Share on other sites
TJ OZ 0 Posted January 13, 2006 Share Posted January 13, 2006 Wrong sport if you want to pick up. Best to bring your own or as most of us in this sword fight of a sport just concentrate on your drinking, apres. Hiccup.cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
