Bars and Restaurants in the Happo area of Hakuba

Note:most restaurants in Hakuba are extremely busy over the ski season, especially from Xmas until the end of February. It is highly recommended you make a booking wherever possible unless otherwise stated below, and if you have a group of 5 or more it is imperative you do so. Having said that a fair number of the restaurants do not accept bookings during this period due to no and late shows in which case you just have to rock up and hope for the best. Arriving before 6 pm will help. Explantion of restaurant types: Yakiniku =Korean style grilled BBQ, where the meat and vegies are given to you already sliced up and you cook them yourself on the small bbq on your table. Izakaya = Japanese style bar where you order lots of small dishes as opposed to a main, and you share the dishes amongst you all. Great fun. Teishoku = Japanese style restaurants that serve set menus. Meals usually consist of a main dish, rice, miso soup and pickled vegies. Usually quite cheap. Teppanyaki = Chef cooks your thinly sliced meat/fish/vegies on BBQ hot plate. Often served to you sizzling hot on your own hotplate dish.
