Hakuba is known as one of the best ski areas in Japan. It staged Super-G, down hill, and ski jumping during the 1998 Winter Olympics. Hakuba Village is located in the northern Japan Alps and has seven ski resorts each unique with different ski routes.
We visited the ski jumping station used during the Olympics and major games. To get to the top, we need to take the chair lift and an elevator to the top of the 90-meter and 120-meter jump, giving you the real feeling of being a ski jumper. The journey up was icy cold and windy .
The scenery from the top was breathtaking. However I couldnt make it to the starting point as I have height phobia. In the end, my husband went alone as I stayed indoors.
I have always enjoyed watching ski jumping games from the television but seeing the real jumping station is quite beyond my imagination. One thing for sure, I can NEVER be a ski jump athlete.
