The village of Echoland is located in central Hakuba. Echoland is not attached to any of the ski areas but is conveniently located for shuttle buses running between many of the resorts. The village is somewhat spread out but it still has a reputation for being the party zone and is popular with youngsters. Accommodation options here include pensions, inexpensive lodges, hotels, houses and apartments.
