White Resort Hakuba Sanosaka trail map
White Resort Hakuba Sanosaka, in Kamishiro at the southern end of the Hakuba Valley, is the only Hakuba area where you ski with Lake Aoki spread out below. Its natural-snow slopes are sheltered from strong winds, and broad cruisers such as the Lake Down run, which seems to drop straight into the lake, and the 2.1 km Paradise course suit beginners and intermediates. The 32-degree New Paradise slope doubles as a certified mogul course, and the area is a known training ground for bumps and carving, with nine schools on site. Mid-mountain Shirayuki-daira has a sledding park and a lakeview café. From 2026-27 it opens early on weekend mornings and adds night skiing. A free shuttle bus runs from lodging areas in Hakuba village.
