Hakuba Goryu
Hakuba Goryu combines three distinct skiing zones across 775 meters of vertical terrain, each offering unique characteristics for different ability levels. The resort's Alpine Garden, set high above the tree line, provides panoramic views across the Northern Japanese Alps. Technical terrain in the upper mountain draws skilled riders, while the dedicated beginner areas ensure comfortable progression. The connected areas create natural flow between different mountain sections.
Sixteen lifts, including the Gondola Alps-daira, service Goryu's varied terrain pods. The lift network connects seamlessly with neighboring Hakuba 47, effectively doubling available terrain options. Advanced monitoring systems track snow conditions and lift operations, allowing riders to maximize their mountain time. The system's design creates efficient circulation patterns, minimizing wait times even during peak periods.
