Hike to the mirror pond beneath the Hakuba peaks — the gateway to the heavens.
The gateway to the heavens
High on the Happo-one ridge, Happo Pond mirrors the Hakuba Three Peaks in still, glassy water — one of the most photographed alpine scenes in Japan.
Lifts carry you high above the valley, then a spectacular ridge trail leads to the pond — alpine flowers in summer, blazing colour in autumn, and panoramas the whole way.
