Celebrate the season in the heart of the Japanese Alps at the Hakuba Summer Festival in Hakuba Valley. Surrounded by lush green mountains and long, warm evenings, this vibrant community event brings together traditional performances, live music, festive food stalls, and a welcoming local atmosphere.

Wander through lantern-lit streets, sample regional flavours, enjoy games and activities for all ages, and soak up the lively energy as the night builds toward a spectacular fireworks display over the alpine skyline. It’s an unforgettable way to experience Hakuba’s culture and summer spirit.

Make a weekend of it by exploring hiking trails, scenic gondola rides, cycling routes, and nearby lakes during the day. Escape the city heat and enjoy the refreshing mountain climate that makes Hakuba a favourite summer retreat.

Complete your stay at Hakuba Gateway Hotel, ideally located for easy access to the festival and local attractions. Relax in comfort after an evening of celebration and wake ready for another day of mountain adventure. Come for the festival — stay for the full Hakuba summer experience.
