Tsugaike
Smaller than Happo but bigger than Iwatake, Tsugaike is one of the more traditional Japanese villages in Hakuba. Tsugaike resort is definitely a fan favourite (especially with their ski in/ski out Burger King at the gondola mid-station!), perfect for beginner-intermediate riders, and the famous DBD area for advanced tree skiers. Offering lively hostel and affordable hotel accommodation, there’s also a nice mix of dining options both on-mountain and in town. Plus some great little surprises like the foot onsen at the base of the gondola, where you can relax with a beer in hand after a big day on the slopes (buy a drink, get free towel hire).
