Hakuba Jump Stadium is a world-class ski jumping facility located in Hakuba Village, Nagano Prefecture. It features a very rare structure where both a Large Hill and a Normal Hill are installed side-by-side. Having served as a venue for the 1998 Nagano Olympics, it remains a symbol of sporting history and serves as a hub for various sports and nature enjoyment throughout the year.
