Hakuba: a Journey in the Heart of Japan’s Northern Alps | Lost in Japan
Welcome back to a new video for the series Lost in Japan!
In this episode, we explore the breathtaking village of Hakuba, nestled in Japan’s Northern Alps! Whether you’re a ski enthusiast, hiker, or simply a nature lover, Hakuba offers unforgettable adventures year-round.
With over 11 meters of annual snowfall and 10 world-class ski resorts, it’s no wonder Hakuba hosted the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics. This snow-covered paradise is perfect for skiing, snowboarding, and other winter sports. ❄️
When the snow melts, Hakuba transforms into an outdoor haven with activities like hiking, mountain biking, paragliding, and more.
In this video, we will explore some of Hakuba’s most iconic sights, such as Hakuba Ohashi, a bridge that has been included among Japan’s 100 best roads (you might want to watch the video to find out why) 😉
We will also enjoy a panoramic hike across Happo-one, a ridge that offers views of Japan’s most famous mountains. ⛰️
In short, there will certainly be a good dose of adventure!
