Workation in Hakuba: the essentials

Olympic skiers raced at Hakuba in 1998, and this village of about 8,000 people in the northern Japanese Alps still lives mainly from snow. Ten separate ski areas with more than 200 runs share one valley, joined by shuttle buses and a common pass, and each winter brings a large foreign crowd around Happo. Once the snow has gone the same mountains turn into hiking country, with Mount Shirouma and Mount Goryu as the big objectives. Most people arrive by Shinkansen to Nagano and then bus, since Matsumoto Airport, about 60 km away, has few routes. Daily life without a car depends on those buses, and winter rentals go early.
