Happoone Development Co., Ltd. Press release: November 29, 2024 Hakuba Happo-One Ski Resort has decided to construct a new gondola lift, base center house, and parking lot. ~Scheduled to open in December 2027 to create an internationally competitive mountain resort that can compete on the world stage~ Hakuba Happo-One Ski Resort, Happo-One Development Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Hakuba Village, Kitaazumi District, Nagano Prefecture, Representative Director: Naoki Maruyama) and Hakuba Tourism
Development Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Hakuba Village, Kitaazumi District, Nagano Prefecture, Representative Director and President) of the Japan Ski Resort Development Group. :Osamu Matsuzawa) is operated in collaboration with the two companies by combining the management resources and know-how of both companies. With the aim of making Hakuba Happo-One Ski a mountain resort with high international competitiveness, the two companies have agreed to jointly invest and jointly operate the resort in order to promote all-season business, improve customer convenience, and improve the value of the stay environment. We have decided to construct a new gondola lift base center house and parking lot within the venue. The investment amount for the gondola lift and parking lot is 3.2 billion yen (the investment amount for the base center house is yet to be determined). The opening date is scheduled for December 2027.

revitalizing the local community, Hakuba Happo-One Ski Resort has undertaken various initiatives to achieve sustainable growth as an international mountain resort. We will continue to invest in light snow countermeasures, including continued investment in snowmaking equipment to cope with light snowfall in warm winters, develop and expand powder snow areas that are attracting attention both
domestically and internationally, and open a surf ride and freestyle snow park aimed at young people that anyone can enjoy. We are working on both tangible and intangible initiatives, such as continuing the NSD Kids Program, which offers free season tickets to elementary school and preschool children. The current “Happo Gondola Lift Adam” has been in operation for over 40 years since 1983, and compared to the performance of the new gondola lift, it produces more vibration and noise, lacks transportation capacity on busy days, and has problems with pick-up and drop-off in the gondola lift boarding area. Vehicle/Shuttle Due to the inconvenience of transportation for buses and general vehicles and the lack of parking spaces, ski resorts are moving to other ski resorts, and inbound tourists, who have been increasing in recent years, have responded to a questionnaire comparing facilities and facilities with overseas resorts. We are facing challenges. In the future, Hakuba Happo-One Ski Resort aims to make the ski resort located in the center of Hakuba Valley an internationally competitive mountain resort that can compete on the world stage, by promoting all-season business and improving customer convenience and accommodation environment. In order to increase value, we have decided to invest in new gondola lifts, base center house, and parking lot.

The gondola lift to be introduced this time uses a large carrier that can accommodate 10 people per gondola carrier, and the carrier is covered with reinforced resin glass on all four sides, greatly increasing the space inside the carrier, greatly improving comfort. At the same time, it will also be possible to enjoy a 360° panoramic view in all directions, allowing you to enjoy the spectacular view of the Northern Alps. In addition, we have made it barrier-free so that there are no steps between the boarding area floor and the gondola carrier, making it a design that anyone can use comfortably. Compared to the existing gondola lift, the speed has been increased from 4 m/s to 6 m/s, reducing the travel time by more than 1 minute from the current gondola lift’s approximately 8 minutes, and increasing the
transportation capacity from 1,350 people/h to 2,400 people. /h will be significantly improved. In addition, with the adoption of the new model, it is expected that the number of holidays will be reduced, as it will be possible to operate at a reduced speed according to the weather, has excellent wind resistance, and will be able to shorten the maintenance period compared to the current model. It is also possible to increase the number of business days during the season. (The manufacturer of the new gondola lift is currently being selected) The existing gondola lift will continue to operate as usual until the new gondola lift starts operating, and is scheduled to be dismantled once the new gondola lift is completed.

We are aware that there are issues in terms of construction, aging of the building, and comfort. In the development of the Nagiyama area, which is the gateway to Happo-one, we are proceeding with the opening of a new base center house that brings together these functions (introduced function plan: cafe restaurant, store, information, rental shop, ticket center, ski school reception, etc.). I’m coming. In addition, a new parking lot (approximately 230 spaces) will be constructed to improve the convenience of parking spaces and facilities for day-trip visitors. Initiatives to become an “internationally competitive mountain resort” The route area from Usagidaira, where the gondola summit station is located, to Happoike, a mysterious pond that mirrors the Hakuba Sanzan, is attracting attention both domestically and internationally as a must-visit mountain scenic spot, and can be enjoyed in all seasons depending on your purpose. In addition to enriching the content and activity facilities available at the hotel, we will proactively work on SDGs and promote “first impressions to be chosen” with both companies playing a central role and working together as a community. In order to put a smile on the faces of all our visitors, Hakuba Happo-One Ski Resort will continue to promote new initiatives so that they can comfortably experience the excitement of Hakuba’s great nature all season long.
