Ski bunnies take note: Hakuba is just a bullet train ride away from Tokyo, here’s where to stay this winter
The fab folks of TheLuxeNomad.com already shared their top 5 family-friendly villas in Niseko, Japan but there’s another Japanese winter wonderland you might like even better: Hakuba. Located on Japan’s main island of Honshu, Hakuba is just a bullet train ride away from Tokyo, making it a relatively accessible destination for Singapore-based travellers. Host to the 1998 Winter Olympic Games, Hakuba is known for its incredible snowfall, unparalleled terrain, and a town with lots to keep the kiddos entertained: English-speaking ski schools, soba noodle making and origami folding classes, and the famed Jigokudani Monkey Park where you can see wild monkeys soaking in a natural hot spring!
Ready to book your plane tickets? Below are TheLuxeNomad.com’s top picks for family-friendly ski chalets and hotels in Hakuba.
Phoenix One
A haven of privacy and luxury in the heart of Wadano Forest, Phoenix One is one of Hakuba’s most sought after chalets offering designer furniture, underfloor heating, a granite Japanese hot tub, sauna, and four comfy bedrooms to house the entire family.
