Easy access to the slopes with walking or a bus. Festival was family-friendly, full of fun entertainment. The bar afterward was great as well! Slopes were in good condition up top, especially. It is a great place to ski for beginners or advanced people, too. Staff, as always, did a great job.

A well organized trip! The Japanese-style hotel was exclusively (I think) for the TSC and within walking distance to bars, restaurants and the lifts. There's a regular shuttle to the lifts for anyone who wanted it, too. Goryu and 47 offered several longer runs for beginners and some fun places to play for more advanced people, too. The resort is small enough you'll definitely run into TSC friends on the slopes or when eating. The timing couldn't have been better, aligning with both the Snow Machine music festival during the weekend days and Hakuba snow festival which brought Saturday night fun: free night skiing, Taiko drums, fireworks, a dragon dance, and live music!

Amazing Night Event with the traditional Taiko Performance. The scenery of Hakuba is amazing from the top. Local are friendly and they even have a night life here in the mountain. Able to meet a lot of new friend and good vibe people. Nice note to end the Ski season.
