We stumbled upon Olion a week after they opened in Hakuba and it was one of the best dining experiences we have ever had! Each member of the staff was hard working and delightful. They went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and ensure we had a great dining experience. And most importantly, the food was remarkable!
Master Chef Masayuki Okuda is building the foundation of this restaurant and ensuring the highest quality of food and service. We were delighted to meet him and have him prepare a few courses for our group!
Do not be fooled by the unassuming nature of the building that houses this restaurant. It is a newly hidden gem in Hakuba!

An amazing experience that ended up being our favourite meal in Hakuba this week. The staff were incredible, the food was delicious and surprising, and the wine & sake pairings were perfect. A balanced fusion experience like none of us had ever had. We will be back!

One of the greatest meals of my life.
We came to OLION about a week after it opened, slightly on accident. It was the best thing that happened to us while in Hakuba. We got “Dinner B”, which consisted of 10 pieces of crafted oil-sushi, and 4 side dishes. The oil-sushi was one of the most flavorful dining experiences I’ve ever had. Naoki, our personal chef, curated each piece of food directly in front of us. It was spectacular.
Then, we were paid a wonderful visit by Masayuki Okuda, the award-winning master chef who is the brains behind the original OLION in Ginza, Tokyo. He made us feel like we were the only people in the restaurant with his hospitality and the personal touch he puts on the dishes.
Lastly, the staff was incredible. Masayuki, Nana, Naoki, and more were like our little family for the evening. They made the experience that much better.
I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. If you find yourself in the Hakuba area, you need to go here.

What a gem of a find! Exquisite sushi and dishes plus the gorgeous chef shared with us his soup dish to celebrate the new year... Out of this world flavours. We will be back for dinner.

Hands down one of the best sushi and wagyu beef experiences of our lives. We chose the 9 course degustation and were blown away. The chef and waiters were so friendly. Must eat if you're going to Hakuba.

Wow. Our family just dined at Olion and the experience was so impressive. I have never had sushi like it…the description purports to serve “innovative Japanese & Italian cuisine” and somehow, despite the vast differences in each cuisine, it does. So surprising were the flavour combinations in the sushi in Dinner B option and so exquisitely matched. The best dinner since in Japan. And every one - from the chef lovingly hand delivering each course, to the attentive and delightful wait staff - were so clearly passionate about what they do. I never review but I had to - we went to highly recommended and reviewed restaurants in the area with Michelin star accolades but Olion has been the stand out.
Most unique and delicious sushi I have ever tasted. Each course is flavored with scented olive oils adding aroma, flavor and silky texture to sea salt glazed sushi. An innovation appealing to both travelers and Japanese in this sophisticated ski town.

Best food on Happo-one! We had lunch there every day and absolutely loved it. Great food, extremely friendly staff, calm atmosphere after a morning or day on the slopes! Loved every bit! We will be back!

We chanced upon this cafe after trying out the beginner's slope and it was a happy accident. The prices were very reasonable and the hot choco and small bites were nice. Regret not ordering the pork ragout since we were not hungry, but saw someone else order it and the meat portion was huge!
