Hakuba IWATAKE Mountain ❤️

Hakuba Iwatake Mountain Resort Review – The Mountain of Peace of Mind and Unforgettable Views ⛰️🌿☕

Hakuba Iwatake is not just a ski resort in winter, but during the snow melting season, it becomes a “mountain of life” filled with tranquility, magnificent views, and a charming cafe that you won’t want to get up and go back to.

Just take the Gondola Noah to the top of the mountain, and everything changes immediately — the silence gradually swallows the sound from below, the sky opens up, the Japanese Alps stretch as far as the eye can see, with a thin layer of snow covering the mountaintop like a painting, green grass in front of you, a cool breeze blowing across your cheeks, and the faint smell of soil that seems to wake you up from the hustle and bustle of life.

Here are some great photo spots like Hakuba Mountain Harbor, which has a wooden observation deck jutting out into the sky. It’s a place with an unadulterated view, and you can take photos from any angle and get a postcard feel. Most importantly, there’s a CITY BAKERY cafe that serves freshly baked croissants and aromatic coffee. With a 360-degree mountain view

Another impressive corner is “Hakuba Hitotokinomori”, but you have to come during the
Green Season. You will find a quiet lawn with strangely designed seats hidden among the trees. Sitting there feels like talking to yourself. It is a place that makes us realize that we don’t need words to understand our feelings.

Whether you are walking, taking pictures, chilling at a cafe, or just sitting still, it feels like you are truly resting. It is a place that does not rush us to do anything, except to “live in the present” to the fullest.

✨ If city life makes you tired, try going up to Iwatake Mountain once and let nature heal you with its silence, beauty, and indescribable lightness.
