A ski shuttle and daily supermarket shuttle is provided for guests, from the Phoenix Hotel just up the road. There is a public shuttle bus stop located just across the street which will take you to Hakuba’s other ski areas. It’s possible to walk to the main Happo One village - about 10-15 minutes down the road.

Location
Wadano Woods chalets are conveniently located just a short distance away from restaurants, bars, cafes, rental shops and onsens in two of Hakuba’s most popular neighbourhoods, central Wadano and Happo Village. Wadano Woods Chalets are also located just more than a 10 minute walk away to Hakuba Happo One resort’s ski lifts, however guests will probably find it easier to catch the free public shuttle from across the road which will take to Hakuba Valley’s various ski resorts.

About Hakuba
The Hakuba Valley is one of Japan's most popular ski destinations for Westerners. Made up of 10 ski resorts, including the most well-known Happo One, Cortina, Iwatake, Goryu, and Hakuba 47, there are plenty of options for skiers and snowboarders of all ability levels. Whether you're a powderhound in search of some epic pow turns, or just looking for some mellow cuisey groomers, you're sure to fall in love with the Hakuba region. Happo (the main village) and the surrounding districts of Wadano and Echoland have everything you need for your ski holiday, including international snowsports schools, rentals, guiding options, convenience stores, and countless restaurants and bars. The area is particularly Westernised to cater for the international skier, however, you can still experience glimpses of Japanese culture via local restaurants, onsens, and day tours. Close to Tokyo, Nagano and other ski resorts in the region, Hakuba is a perfect option for first time families, couples, and those who enjoy the Western comforts of home.
