One of the delights of visiting Hirafu Station is the surrounding scenery. The area around the station is dotted with charming log houses, and in the distance, you can see magnificent mountains. In winter, a silver world unfolds, as if stepping into a picture book.
The only drawback of Hirafu Station is its difficult access. There is no public transportation to the nearest ski resort, making private transportation essential. Special attention to road conditions is necessary in winter, but the scenery that awaits will surely blow away any fatigue.
