2026 48th Hakuba Summer Festival: A Full-Day Course

Centered on the Hakuba Summer Festival held on Thursday, August 13, 2026, this is a full-day course through Hakuba Village at the foot of the Northern Alps. At midday, visit the ski jumping stadium that once hosted the Winter Olympics and ride the lift to enjoy the view from the top of the jump tower, just as the athletes once did. In the afternoon, ride the gondola at a mountain resort tucked in the hills and relax in the cool mountaintop air. In the evening, stroll through the area in front of Hakuba Station to browse for souvenirs, then head to the Hokujo area, home to the venue Hakuba Green Sports no Mori, to have dinner while securing a spot for the fireworks. At night, fireworks rise one after another into the sky above the Northern Alps, closing out a summer festival the community has nurtured over the years. This is the definitive Hakuba summer plan, packing in both mountain fun and cool summer fireworks.
