Hello!

I’m going to Hakuba soon with a friend and Im just not too sure where to stay in Hakuba and how the place works. It would be great if someone could explain how the mountain is laid out, (In regards with Hakuba 47, Happo One and Echoland) any help would be greatly appreciated!

Echoland is the area to stay if you want a bit of night life/restaurants/apres.

It is linked to all of the major resorts via shuttle bus. You can walk to Goryu/47 or Happo One if you are keen.

You can stay right near the lifts at Happo One but you miss out on some of the village atmosphere. It’s convenient if you plan on riding Happo a lot (you probably shouldn’t though as many of the others are probably better) and once again it is linked via a shuttle bus service.
