Around town

View from Hakuba

Hakuba is quite a large, spread out ski resort by world standards. It’s made up of many ski areas and commercial areas collectively known as…Hakuba, the geography of the village reflects this. However, getting around town has now been made easier by a new shuttle bus called the “Genki Go” bus.

You can get from anywhere in town to anywhere else in town for just ¥200 making all the great restaurants and bars accessible to any who care to find them. The Genki Go shuttle runs till 10:30pm each night. Taxi’s also run till 2:00.

To get money there are two international ATMs in Hakuba, one at the 7 Eleven (open 24 hours) and the other at the Post Office near Hakuba Train Station (Open only until 5 on public holidays and Sundays otherwise until 7pm).
