Important Services

In Hakuba, you'll probably want to know where a few key services are. Here's a few of them.

Car Rental

Not a lot of options directly in Hakuba:

  1. Windy
  2. NicoNico

In Nagano City, there's a lot around the station, very easy to find and book.

Places to buy food

Groceries

For groceries, you have three:

  1. A-Coop, my personal favorite.
  2. Delicia, a good backup.
  3. Aeon Big, not my favorite.

There's also two Lawson Stations and two 7-11s when you're in a pinch. They're all on the two major roads.

Restaurants

There's two major spots for food:

  1. Echoland
  2. Happo One

Beyond that there's a lot of restaurants scattered through. Here's just a random list of the ones I like:

  1. TacoTaco, Japanese Mexican.
  2. Sounds Like, Sandwiches.
  3. Sarugaku, Izakaya.
  4. Meteor, Udon.
  5. Zen, Soba.
  6. Lion, Cafe and Snacks.
  7. Chitose, Tonkatsu.
  8. Sanpachi, Brunch-ish.
  9. Takahashi-ke, Ramen.

If you're staying at my place, we have all kinds of coffee stuff, but you maybe also want to go elsewhere. Here's a few good spots:

  1. Lion
  2. Hakuba Coffee Stand

  5. Satoru
  6. Konisu, note, basically on a ski slope.
