2025 Hakuba Ski Guide: Hakuba Alps Hotel, Hakuba Ski Buses, and More
Here are some additional points to note:
1.As mentioned in the video, this Norikura Ski Resort hotel is definitely a great choice, but don’t rush to change your booking just yet.
The location is quite inconvenient unless you’re driving. Otherwise, I suggest reconsidering.
Single bus rides to the ski area cost 1,600 yen per trip, which is extremely expensive.
2.This place is perfect for beginners!
Just by looking at the slope and trail design, you can tell it’s great for newcomers.
However, for experienced skiers, it might feel a bit monotonous.
On the bright side, the lift ticket here also includes access to Cortina Ski Resort!
3.If you want to book this hotel, I recommend not canceling your original reservation yet.
Wait until we give our feedback on January 5th to see if everything is okay.
As mentioned in the video, if prepayment is required, don’t forget to consider the credit card transaction fees!
4.The rental shop featured in the video offers a one-week rental for just 7,000 yen.
Honestly, I couldn’t believe it myself, so I’ll be accompanying my friends to rent there.
Please wait for our feedback on January 6th as well.
5.At 08:40 in the video, the price shown is for double occupancy, not for five people. The rates vary based on the number of guests.
6.At 09:53, the price mentioned was 8,500 TWD, but I accidentally said yen.
