Best Ski Resorts in Hakuba for Toddlers and Young Kids

Planning a Hakuba trip with toddlers this winter?
As a father of two young kids, I wanted to make sure our ski holiday is fun for the whole family — not just for the adults. Here's what I found after comparing kids’ ski lessons across Hakuba resorts.

1. What I was looking for

My younger child just started skiing last season, so I was specifically looking for group ski lessons for toddlers available on weekdays.

2. Resorts I checked

At first, we looked into Tsugaike.
Evergreen Ski School offers English lessons there, but only private sessions — which were a bit over our budget.
Japanese kids’ lessons at Tsugaike were only available on weekends, so we had to skip it since our trip is on weekdays.

3. Resorts that worked

The resorts offering weekday group lessons for toddlers were:

• Evergreen International Ski School (Happo One)
• Hakuba 47 Ski Academy

Both provide English-speaking instructors and safe, well-designed kids’ areas.

If you’re traveling with toddlers, Happo One or Hakuba 47 are your best choices in Hakuba.

I hope this atricle helps!
