How to book Vive Hakuba

  1. Vive Hakuba publishes no phone number and lists no online booking service, which usually means its seats go to regulars and their guests. A concierge at a luxury hotel is the best chance of a table.
  • Anniversaries and birthdays: the restaurant prepares a celebration if you ask when you book (a dessert plate with your message, a cake or a surprise). More in Karuizawa & Nagano.
