Hakuba City Bakery always has a line🥐
There was a swing with a great view next to it, so I was able to buy bread in an instant while listening to Heidi's songs and watching the view!
The bread is delicious when you eat it while looking at the great view of the Northern Alps at an altitude of 1,289m🤤
There was also a burger that was only available in Hakuba, so I ate it🍔
*There were two lines, and it was a little difficult to tell which was the CITY BAKERY line, so be careful when you line up⚠️
