The air has grown slightly crisp in the mornings and evenings, and signs of autumn are now evident in Hakuba.

This is the season when the mountains begin to change color. Whether admiring the Northern Alps in the crisp air or taking an autumn stroll, Hakuba’s fall offers a quiet and beautiful experience quite different from summer.

Here at CHESTNUTS, the chestnut trees are beginning to bear fruit again this year.

We hope you’ll take the time to enjoy autumn in Hakuba during your stay.

Please feel free to take as many chestnuts from our grounds as you’d like.

We hope you’ll spend some relaxing moments here with your loved ones.
