Hakuba47 Ski Academy International (ski and snowboard school), a sister school of Hakuba47 Ski Academy (Japanese ski school) is based on Hakuba47 Ski Resort in Hakuba Village, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. We are a part of ski resort while most of the ski schools are independent businesses. So that we can make a stronger team work with other staff such as lift operators, patrols, ticket centre staff, rental shop staff and restaurant staff on the mountains.
Hakuba Valley has several ski resorts and each of them is within 30 min by drive. (Our staff accommodation is only 2 min walk away from the bus stations to different ski resorts.) So you can enjoy not only our resort but also other resorts in Hakuba Village while you are here and when you take your guests to other mountains. Hakuba is also known as the ski destination with great powder, good long runs and the site hosted 98 Winter Olympics for Ski Jumps, and Alpine Races.
