This year, Hakunori has greatly expanded its summer offerings for (non-hotel guest) visitors! One of the highlights is the Hakuba Norikura Aqua Oasis (pictured), which has been open since 4/14 (Mon.). In addition to both indoor and outdoor heated pools, guests can enjoy the earthbag sauna, open-air jet bath, steam sauna, ball pit, and large public hot spring bath. (*Admission:JPY4,000 for junior high school students and older, JPY2,000 for elementary school students.)

Tree Adventure, which had been on pause since the end of Golden Week, officially reopened today, 7/19 (Sat.). This outdoor ropes course lets you tackle a variety of obstacles while securely harnessed for safety. There are three levels to choose from: the beginner-friendly Green Course (106m long), the intermediate Yellow Course (101m, pictured), and the advanced Red Course (103m). ※Unlimited play for 90 minutes: JPY3,500 for junior high school students and older, JPY3,000 for elementary school students, and JPY500 for children under elementary school age.

Also making a return this summer as an activity option is the SLUSHARK, which made its debut in the 2024–25 winter season! You can choose between the seated model (pictured, front), which you ride like a scooter, and the standard model (pictured, back), which you stand on like a kickboard. Both can be enjoyed freely on a specially designed safety-conscious course (20 minutes for JPY2,000).

The dedicated SLUSHARK course is located just south of the Tree Adventure area. Additionally, the “River Fish Catching” activity, which started on 7/19 (Sat.), takes place in the river flowing between the Tree Adventure and the SLUSHARK course. If you plan to enjoy any of these three activities, please park your car in the free parking lot at the Hakuba Alps Premium Water factory, accessible via the Wakaguri Onsen Norikuraso parking area (pictured), then head around to the back of the building.
