Exclusive Early Morning Private Plan at Hakuba Iwatake Mountain Resort

An Exclusive Retreat at Hakuba's Iwatake Mountain Resort

As autumn approaches, Hotel La Vigne Hakuba, managed by Onko Chishin, announces the launch of its exciting early morning private plan at Hakuba Iwatake Mountain Resort starting September 1, 2026. This exclusive package is designed for hotel guests who wish to enjoy a serene morning in the mountains, all while surrounded by breathtaking views of the Northern Alps.

Experience Peacefully Soaring Heights

The Hakuba Iwatake Mountain Resort is renowned for its stunning panoramic views, boasting the majestic Northern Alps as its backdrop. The resort features a terrace area where visitors can relish the beauty of the mountains and partake in various activities, making it a popular destination year-round. With only one group allowed to reserve this experience each day, guests will find themselves enjoying an intimate and tranquil atmosphere before the grounds open to the public. Imagine waking up to the clear morning air, watching the sunrise cast its golden light over the peaks, and sipping on a freshly brewed coffee while taking in the stunning scenery.

Three Unique Attractions of the Early Morning Private Plan

1. Private Access to Hakuba Mountain Harbor's Scenic Terrace

The early morning plan grants guests exclusive access to Hakuba Mountain Harbor's beautiful terrace before general visitors arrive. Surrounded by the Northern Alps, guests can unwind, enjoy quiet moments, and appreciate the spectacular views that are uniquely splendid during the early hours when nature is at its calmest. From late October to early November, visitors can see the beautiful 'three-tiered autumn foliage' where the mountaintops are covered in snow, the mid-levels are adorned with vibrant colors, and the base remains green – an unrivaled sight in the tranquil morning atmosphere.

2. Delicious Breakfast from THE CITY BAKERY

Guests can savor a delightful breakfast featuring signature items from New York's THE CITY BAKERY in the comfort of the terrace, overlooking the resplendent landscape of Hakuba. The breakfast includes options like the popular Hakuba pig pretzel croissant sandwich and various beverages – coffee, espresso, or Earl Grey. This culinary experience is not just about the food; it’s about enjoying a morning in the mountains complemented with freshly baked goods and excellent coffee while soaking up the spectacular views.

3. Thrilling Activities Without the Crowds

Guests will have the chance to participate in the popular 'Yahoo Swing' activity early in the morning, allowing them to feel an exhilarating sense of weightlessness as they swing across the breathtaking landscape. Normally bustling after opening hours, the early morning private plan ensures guests can take stunning photos and experience the thrill in a more serene environment.
