Hakuba Cortina Snow Resort

Otari 小谷

Otari, not Hakuba village. Snowier, quieter, hotel-centric. The day you go when Happo is blown off and you want trees. Stay at the hotel or hire a car. From Happo the bus is infrequent — a planned day, not a pop-over.

Good for

  • powder
  • storm day
  • hotel-base holiday

Watch-outs

  • From Happo without a car this is a long, timed bus day. Don’t count on popping over.
  • English dining is thin. Eat at the hotel or plan it.

Shuttle: The winter valley bus does go to Cortina, but not often. From Happo without a car, treat it as a planned day.
