Hakuba Supermarket Guide: Where to Buy Groceries in Hakuba
There are three main supermarkets in Hakuba: The Big Hakuba, A Coop Hakuba and Delicia Hakuba. These Hakuba supermarkets provide everything from full grocery shops to ski day snacks.
Exploring food shops is part of the fun of travelling in Japan. Shelves are packed with colourful snacks, interesting drinks and fresh ingredients you may not see at home. Supermarkets sit along the valley floor rather than in the ski base areas, with easy access by hire car, taxi or hotel shuttle. Convenience stores are everywhere and great for quick meals, breakfast supplies and evening snacks.
