The year 2025 has begun!

With more snow than usual this winter season, Hakuba Village is covered in pure white snow.

The conditions on the slopes are excellent and you can enjoy the best powder snow!

CHESTNUTS has begun taking reservations for the upcoming season in response to requests!

With a number of international hotels scheduled to be built in Hakuba Village, we anticipate that the village will continue to grow and that reservations for lodging will become increasingly difficult.

A blanket of pure white snow has fallen on Hakuba!

Expectations are high for an earlier start than usual, and Hakuba Village is so beautiful and exciting when it is covered in white and silver during the year.

Ski resorts opened on November 30.

Please check each ski resort’s website for information on open ski resorts and slopes that can be skied.

We expect that the skiable areas will be expanded from time to time depending on the snowfall conditions!

2024/01/01 We express our deepest sympathies to all those affected by the Noto Peninsula earthquake. We would also like to pay our respects to all those who are working hard for the recovery.

CHESTNUTS has set up a charity plan whereby 10% of the room rate paid by guests will be donated to the Noto Peninsula Earthquake Relief Fund through the Japanese Red Cross Society.

The CHESTNUTS manager is from Ishikawa Prefecture and was brought up on the bounty of the Noto sea. Although we would like to help the people affected by the disaster immediately, we can only think and pray for them.

Through this plan, together with the wishes of our guests who agree with us, we would like to responsibly raise funds and have them used to support the lives of those affected by the disaster.

Period: reservations until the end of July

How to participate: confirm your booking from the Noto Peninsula Earthquake Donation Plan.

We sincerely hope that all those affected will be able to lead healthy lives.

There are numerous rental shops in Hakuba Village, but CHESTNUTS recommends WOODY, which has three branches in the Happo One ski resort area.

WOODY offers a free pick-up service and a free shuttle service, which is very convenient.

Of course, you can exchange rental items as many times as you like free of charge.

From beginners to advanced skiers, you can rest assured that you will be welcomed with world-class gear and some of the best hospitality in Japan, so that you can enjoy Hakuba even more.
