Perfect Powder
A luxurious winter escape from Tokyo is just a few hours away in Hakuba
Glistening lakes and rivers in summer, flamingly vibrant foliage in fall, and delicate powder snow in winter have made Hakuba a top destination for Japan’s international residents in recent years. The explosion of expats flocking to the valley for powder skiing and reconnecting with nature is boosted by other things that separate Hakuba from similar resort areas in Japan: its proximity to Tokyo and its international flair.
Hakuba Hotel Group (HHG) has been a driving force behind the development of the area over the past 10 years. Launched in 2012 with the purchase of the Hakuba Springs Hotel, HHG has grown from a small hotel operator to the Hakuba Valley’s largest hospitality company. The group owns or manages hotels, apartments, chalets, travel agencies, and events, as well as restaurants and bars featuring some of Asia’s most premium accommodations and dining. HHG is truly all things Hakuba.
Chalets and Apartments
HHG manages a portfolio of more than 50 premium chalets and apartments situated in prime locations surrounding the Happo-One Resort, host to downhill and Super-G Alpine skiing during the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games. The properties combine the creature comforts of Western homes with the convenience of a fully serviced hotel. Guests can access a 24-hour concierge team, receive food and wine deliveries, and use complimentary resort and restaurant shuttle services.
The newest property is the ski-in, ski-out Roka Apartments. Completed in 2021, the eight serviced luxury units are the most exclusive in Hakuba.
Hotels
HHG hotels range from rustic and cozy to modern and sleek. The flagship property The Happo is among the most modern in Hakuba, having recently reopened after extensive renovation. With 30 rooms in the heart of Happo Village, 200 meters from the Happo-One slopes and surrounded by Hakuba’s best dining and nightlife, The Happo features onsen and Finnish sauna, a restaurant, bar, café, rental shop, and retail store.
Dining
Mimi’s Restaurant & Bar is the jewel of the Hakuba culinary scene and among the few true fine-dining experiences in the valley. This HHG venue has ranked as Hakuba’s No. 1 restaurant on TripAdvisor for several years running. Other group restaurants include The Rabbit Hole, Blizzard Pizza, and The Grill.
Premium Partnerships
HHG is proud to be partnering with Land Rover to provide the most stylish shuttle service in Hakuba. Chalet and apartment guests receive complimentary shuttles to the ski slopes and local restaurants in Range Rover and Defender vehicles.
The group has also teamed up with Hyperice to help guests at The Happo recover and recharge with premium massage guns after a day of powder skiing.
