There are well over a hundred restaurants in the Hakuba Valley with plenty of traditional Japanese cuisine to sample and lots of international varieties as well. The best areas to seek out good food and ambience are Wadano Village, Echoland and the area around Hakuba Station. There are some upmarket restaurants for a tasty splurge or romantic evening but also plenty of wonderful budget eateries where visitors can enjoy simple and tasty Japanese food, international pub-grub and the Western favourite, pizza.
