Hakuba in summer

#AdventureTrip
Hakuba in summer is a true adventurer's paradise. While it's known as a renowned ski resort in winter, when the snow melts, Hakuba transforms into a vast natural playground offering exciting outdoor activities amidst the Japanese Alps.
The summer weather here is cooler than typical Japanese weather, making it ideal for hiking and climbing. Popular trails like the Happo-One Nature Trail lead travelers through lush meadows, crystal-clear streams, and breathtaking mountain views. If you're fit, try summiting Mount Goryu or Mount Shirouma, both at over 2,900 meters. The tiring experience will be worth it when you stand at the top, gazing at the sea of clouds and other surrounding peaks.

For those seeking a more challenging experience, Hakuba offers activities like rock climbing, paragliding, and mountain biking through steep forest trails. Alternatively, you can enjoy the thrill of whitewater rafting on the swift-flowing Himekawa River or soaking in the cool waterfalls along the natural streams.
