Wow blown away with Shizen’s treats!! If you eat gluten free and dairy free in Japan I’m sure you already know that a lot of the times you’ll be eating what you can and not what you feel like. But at shizen it’s a whole different story! You can actually indulge yourself in some yummy foods :) thank you so much. We will be back!
A vibrant spot with live music, delicious offerings, and a chill vibe that keeps everyone coming back for more.

Thanks for all the great food and cheerful service during our stay in Hakuba. Everything was delicious and we appreciated your ability and willingness to make some dishes gluten free for our celiac kid.

The plant base hot pot is full pack of amazing flavours highly recommend getting!
Also the sides they have to go with your hot pot are a must try, the tofu and chicken are next level. As well their kimchi is so fresh and has a great kick to it.
I also recommend getting the roasted cabbage, I never knew cabbage could taste this good!
Also another great thing is many of these dishes are Gluten Free.
Huge and beautifully decorated, this spot offers a deliciously diverse menu, spacious seating, and a peaceful atmosphere perfect for relaxation.

It’s a Nepalese fusion response/Bar.
Vegan , halal and gluten free options are available. We tried chicken tikka masala and garlic cheese naan. And Nepalese beer and Nepalese dumplings was delicious. It was awesome. “Some low reviews recently. Really don’t know why? “
Friendly staffs and good food and vibes.

It is a small company, only 4 restaurants in Japan. It is in not the most touristic area, but they are taking care of vegan and gluten-free needs! The vegan ramen with brown rice noodles was so amazing that we came here every day we spent in this town. What a sweet lady working there as well!

The best restaurant in Hakuba the staff are very friendly and have very good english.
Their food is fantastic and restaurant is beautiful.
Most importantly for us is they understand gluten free and have great gluten pasta and gluten free chocolate cake. The red wine is nice also.
Exceptional quality and accommodating service make this spot a must-visit, with a menu that's sure to impress on every visit.

This was so good that we came back for lunch the following day. The service is really friendly and helpful, everything on the menu we tried was delicious and high quality, and they went out of their way to cater for a celiac in our family (including gluten free soy sauce). Highly recommend if you’re coming through - top notch.

A small (8 people at a time), welcoming authentic place that runs solely by the woman who owns it.
She was the most nice and welcoming, has very good english, explained us everything we asked about the food.
The meals were delicious, the sake was perfect.
She has a lot of gluten free options which was perfect for me.
Don't miss this place!
Great food and beer. Many gluten free options including fried and roasted chicken. Super cozy and very warm service. Allergen list provided (see photo).
Perched on a hill by the slopes, this spot is perfect for skiers seeking a cozy vibe and a solid vegan and vegetarian menu.

Location of this cafe is inconvenient for those who walking, but better for skiing people. Because it’s located on the hill next to the slope.
They do not pick up the phone, so, we decided to trust information provided by Google maps and walked up to the hill.
Falafels are not gluten free
But curry is
Good for vegan and vegetarians menu, looking good deserts (unfortunately gluten), pizzas
Taste of curry like jp curry
I recommend this place if you are nearby or have a car
Wold be good if Falafel Brothers open cafe at the big ski area, like Hakuba 47
This cozy, reservation-only spot offers a unique dining experience with personalized hot pot options and a dedicated chef.

Very small restaurant, just one chef and one waitress. Reservations essential. I am coeliac and was recommended this place online. First time I went I had edamame, sashimi and a soy cream yosenabe hotpot (as this was the only GF hotpot available) It was absolutely delicious. There were also other options such as grilled fish. After the meal I asked to reserve a table again for a few days later and he told me that he would prepare a special GF Tom Yum hotpot especially for me so I didn’t have to have the same meal again (there is a Tom Yum hotpot on the menu but I believe it is not usually gluten free) The japanese chef spoke fairly basic English but clearly had an understanding of gluten allergy and they even had a bottle of GF soy sauce for the sashimi. Will definitely come back next time I’m in Hakuba.
Experience a delightful culinary adventure in a snow village, with exceptional dishes and a standout hot chocolate that keeps guests coming back.

The food was delicious and I was so grateful for the gluten free / vegan menu changes. However, after a day of skiing the portions were tiny and my husband and kids left looking forward to the free apples at our accommodation.
Enjoy a cozy vibe with delicious soba noodles and a charming store below for a unique experience!

Good soba noodles, very nice atmosphere.
The soba noodles are 100% buchwheat so it is also gluten free, although if you are coeliac you'll need to eat the noodles plain.
Still good taste, and they have a nice store underneath the resturant :)
The food is good and served quickly
It is better to book in advance
It has a gluten free burger option. Could you add something else?
It is a good post-ski meeting place

Very good food at reasonable prices. Vegetarian and gluten free options available. Good service. Accomodating for a large group. Beef cheek was fantastic!
