Untouched nature thrives in the majestic Hakkoda Mountains
Hakkoda is renowned for its epic snow conditions and remote, untouched setting. Advanced skiers flock to its ungroomed runs and steep drops into fluffy powder. While challenging for beginners, the resort features a ropeway and double chair lifts servicing its eight mountains. Despite increased popularity, Hakkoda's expansive terrain remains a skier's paradise.
Abundant snowfall keeps you skiing all season
Hakkoda receives massive amounts of snowfall each season, creating excellent conditions for powder enthusiasts. However, heavy snowfall often brings challenging weather, including high winds and low visibility. January and February are particularly severe, making navigation difficult. Despite this, the ski season runs from mid-December to early April, offering ample skiing opportunities.
A traditional Japanese snow resort with modern comforts
Hakkoda caters primarily to skiers, focusing on the slopes with minimal additional entertainment or activities. The area's appeal lies in its skiing experience. After a day on the mountain, relax and rejuvenate at top resorts like Hakkoda Hotel or Hotel Jogakura, which offer excellent amenities for unwinding.
