HAKUBA MOUNTAIN HARBOR

The mountaintop cafe and terrace at the 1,289m summit of Hakuba Iwatake offers a spectacular view of the Northern Alps of Nagano Prefecture Prefecture. The terrace commands a panoramic view of the Hakuba Sanzan mountains, stretching north and south. Relax and enjoy the seasonal scenery on the terrace, from the lush greenery of the Northern Alps in summer to the "three-tiered" autumn foliage scenery that changes color at the summit, mid-mountain, and base of the mountain in autumn, to the stunning world of silvery white in winter. Iwatake also offers a wide variety of activities, including a bakery that boasts freshly baked bread, a swing that's perfect for photos, mountain biking, trekking, and camping.
