Visitor Reviews of Happo One


drew from UNITED STATES writes:

After spending 2 months living in Hakuba as part of the broadcast team for the Winter Olympics with CBS Sports,and 1 month exclusivly at Happo One I can say that this resort is the best. If you think the french alps are great, think again, I lived there during the olympics in Albertville found it very stuck up and not treated well by the people. Colorado, USA resorts are there for braging rights. (It's the in thing to be seen in Vail).But the people in Hakuba, and Happo One are the friendliest around, and I forgot, the trails are great! I've spent 6 years kicking myself for not moving to japan, and hakuba. And I put my name on it ...DREW B.
