Getting to Sunnsnow

Narita:

Narita is by far the easiest airport to fly into if you are traveling to Hakuba. There are a couple of options from here, however the fastest is to take the Narita Express to Tokyo Station (JPY 3,000 1hr) then Shinkansen to Nagano (JPY8,200 1hr 40mins) and finally a bus from Nagano to Hakuba (JPY1,800 1 hr). When arriving at Nagano Station, you need to take the East Exit, go downstairs and find bus stop number 26. This is where the bus will depart for Hakuba. When returning to Tokyo it is the same but in reverse. Our staff will be waiting for you at the Happo Bus Terminal to bring you back to the lodge and get you settled in. See below for Narita Express, Shinkansen and Alpico bus timetables.

 

There are buses from Narita Airport direct to Hakuba which will take between 4-5 hours. Follow the link for departure times for the Nagano Snow Shuttle.

Haneda:

 

The journey from Haneda is not as straight forward as from Narita. You will need to catch the Monorail to Hamamatsucho station and catch a train from here to Tokyo Station. From Tokyo Station the journey is the same as from Narita, taking the Shinkansen (bullet train 1hr 40mins) to Nagano and then catch the bus from Nagano to Hakuba (1hr). When arriving at Nagano Station, you need to take the East Exit, go downstairs and find bus stop number 26. This is where the bus will depart for Hakuba. When returning to Tokyo it is the same but in reverse. Our staff will be waiting for you at the Happy Bus Terminal to bring you back to the lodge and get you settled in. See below for Narita Express, Shinkansen and Alpico bus timetables.

 

If you would prefer not to have the hassle of changing trains at Hamamatsucho Station then you can take the Airport Limousine direct from Haneda to Tokyo Station. The journey will take about 45 mins.

 

There are buses from Haneda Airport direct to Hakuba which will take between 4-5 hours. Follow the link for departure times for the Nagano Snow Shuttle.

Shinjuku:

 

If you are overnighting in Tokyo then the train from Shinjuku is a great option. It departs at 0730 daily and arrives in Hakuba at 1128. Follow the link for the Shinjuku train timetable.

Private vehicle:

 

If you would prefer to take a private vehicle to Hakuba then you can make a reservation with Chuo Taxi. They will drop you off directly at the lodge. Prices vary depending on the size of your group. Bookings should be made in advance to use this service.
