As the snow melts and Hakuba shifts into its vibrant green season, Happo One comes alive with the Spring Market — a lively outdoor gathering filled with local flavours, handmade crafts, live music, and mountain-town charm. Set against the stunning Northern Alps, this feel-good community event is the perfect way to welcome warmer days in the heart of Hakuba.

Browse stalls featuring fresh regional produce, artisan goods, baked treats, and unique souvenirs you won’t find anywhere else. Enjoy casual street food, sip local drinks, and relax to live performances while kids play and friends reconnect under clear alpine skies. It’s an easy, laid-back event that invites you to slow down and soak in Hakuba’s welcoming atmosphere.

Turn it into a refreshing mountain escape by staying at Hakuba Gateway Hotel, conveniently located for easy access to Happo and the village centre. Spend your days riding the gondola for sweeping alpine views, exploring scenic hiking trails, paddling on nearby lakes, or unwinding in a local onsen — then stroll back to comfortable accommodation after an afternoon at the market.

Whether you’re escaping the city for fresh air, planning a family getaway, or simply chasing mountain vibes, the Spring Market paired with a stay at Hakuba Gateway Hotel is the perfect way to experience Hakuba in its most refreshing season.
