Hakuba: Spectacular Nature and Mountain Hospitality

Hakuba: Spectacular Nature and Mountain Hospitality

Nagano Prefecture, known for having 29 of the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains, is one of Japan's premier mountainous regions. Among these renowned peaks lies Hakuba Village, nestled at the foot of the Hakuba Range, including the iconic Mt. Hakuba (Shirouma-dake). This village, a region established by those in the mountain guiding profession, has a history of beckoning people to the mountains in the summer and serving as a world-renowned snow resort with the finest snow quality in the winter, attracting visitors from all over the globe.

Hidden among these mountain guides was a well-kept secret—a picturesque gem known as Kitaone Kogen, located at an elevation of 1200 meters on the middle part of the mountain of Hakuba Happo-one Ridge.

In July 2019, this breathtaking location gave birth to FIELD SUITE HAKUBA KITAONE KOGEN, a luxury glamping site produced by the outdoor equipment manufacturer Snow Peak.

Our staff, who deeply love and intimately know Hakuba, will welcome you with the distinctive hospitality of this region, allowing you to comfortably savor the blessings of Nagano's natural treasures, recognized as Japan's ultimate terroir, embraced by the surrounding presence of Mother Nature herself.
