The Snow Show calls it, “one of Japan’s best ski resorts”. Hakuba 47 is indeed connected to Hakuba Goryu and Iimori but sold all together as 1 lift ticket. Hakuba 47 is one of 10 resorts available in Hakuba valley with over 200 pistes and close to a hundred lifts. Hakuba 47 is well suited for all levels with long compacted pistes for beginners and world class back country skiing for the advanced. We’ve covered much of this resort under Hakuba Goyu‘s page so be sure to check out that page, too.
The ski season is typically from late November to early May. Of course, if you visit in late November, probably only the upper sections of the mountain will be open. In May, Japan has a series of national holiday called Golden Week. Hakuba 47 and Goryu are one of the few mountain in Japan that extend their season into May, sometime until the end of Golden Week. Checkout this report from the 2022/23 season that ended in May. It was 13c at the top! In the 2023/24 season, it was equally as excellent.
The gondola is the first to open at 0800hrs. The resort closes (last lift up), depending on the lift anywhere from 1540hrs to 1600hrs+
