HAKUBAVALLEY, spanning the communities of Omachi, Hakuba, and Otari, is blessed with rich nature. We are grateful for the opportunity to live, work, play, and learn in this remarkable mountain environment.

In recent years, however, climate change has caused observable changes to our community such as less snowfall in winter. As a region blessed with world-class powder snow and nature, climate change will surely impact more than just our economy and lifestyle.

So, what can we do to protect the environment for future generations? Below are examples of initiatives taken by local businesses. We hope that they inspire you to join our efforts towards achieving a more sustainable HAKUBAVALLEY.
