Restaurants · Checked for 2026–27, 11 Sep 2026
Places we would actually go this winter — Happo, Echoland, Wadano, Goryu. Full menus and hours live on the restaurant — confirm before you go.
Before you book
- • Book ahead for small rooms and peak weeks — many popular spots fill early
- • Most places close between lunch and dinner (typically 14:00–17:00)
- • Cash is still common at family-run Japanese spots; cards more accepted at hotel and international restaurants
- • No tipping in Japan — the price is the price
3 places. Hours are a guide — some still need a call.
- Roots Cafe ルーツカフェHappo 八方
Vegetarian and vegan cafe on Happo, attached to Evergreen International Ski School. Local veg, organic when they can, fair-trade drinks. The useful on-hill lunch if your kids are in Yeti Club. Their website still has a 2020 closed banner, so don’t trust the hours — call 0261-85-0034.

- Tierra ティエラHappo 八方
Vegan ramen in Misorano. Hours aren’t current — confirm before you taxi out to Misorano. Still the name people give when you ask for vegan dinner that is not Roots Cafe.

- Hige Cafe ヒゲカフェEcholand エコーランド
Echoland two-personality room: curry and spice by day in summer, kushikatsu izakaya in winter. They say they can do vegetarian and vegan; they claim a separate vegetable fryer. Hours irregular — check before you go.
