Hakuba · English ski school
Hakuba Goryu and Hakuba47
Two linked ski areas in the Hakuba valley with one ticket for both, and also part of the Hakuba Valley ticket for ten resorts in the valley. From Tokyo: Hokuriku shinkansen to Nagano (about 1 hour 40 minutes) and a bus of about an hour to Goryu. An adult 1-day ticket for both areas in the 2026-27 season costs ¥10,000 at the counter, of which ¥500 is a deposit on the IC card that is refunded, and ¥9,500 including the deposit for a first purchase online. Goryu opens on 21 November 2026, about two weeks earlier than last season, thanks to new snowmaking machines. Goryu has an English-speaking ski and snowboard school, and night skiing too.
