Largest resort in hakuba, and the one to stay in if you are choosing a single place from which to explore the rest of the valley. It has the largest selection of runs, good for intermediate skiers but a bit limited for experts as they don't really have a great selection of side country/tree skiing compared to other resorts. There are also better places in hakuba for beginners.
Happo one is at the centre of the shuttle bus network so the easiest place to stay without a car, although the buses are somewhat infrequent and at irregular times. Would recommend a car if you want the flexibility to explore different resorts from first to last lift. On powder days the buses were packed with long queues.
The other slight issue was that there doesn't seem to be enough restaurants for the number of visitors. Many restaurants were booked for the whole week and so we ended up having to go down to the station area to find a table, even then you need to go at 6.
Overall, if you don't have a car, stay in happo one, if you do then maybe stay elsewhere. - via 
For expert skiers, the only one reason to come here for the tree skiing. You need to get an armband from Jackys place (top of the gondola). Just watch the YouTube video in advance and sign a form. The area is pretty big and so plenty of lines. Its good for those just starting to learn to ski powder in the trees as there are some easier lines to choose and the boulevard allows for easy exits. The downside is that there is little else to do. The reds from the top are good fast carving slopes but then you have to take the 15 min gondola to the top which means the ski to lift ratio is not great.
Lots of good beginner slopes at the bottom. Upper intermediates (ie not confident off piste) might get bored quickly. - via
