ECHOLANDEcholand Hakuba: Area Guide
Echoland is the part of Hakuba with the most restaurants, bars and cafés. Hotel Wohnen is about a 10-minute walk away — close enough for dinner out, quiet enough to sleep well.
What is Echoland?
Echoland sits between Hakuba Happo-one and Hakuba47, along a main street of about 500 m lined with trees. It is not at the foot of any ski resort — guests ride the shuttle bus to the slopes — but it has more places to eat and drink than anywhere else in Hakuba, which is why it is sometimes called Hakuba's "wine and dine" district.
