Follow this Shinkansen symbol at Tokyo Station

Whats the best way to get to Hakuba from Narita? A common question from our guests who haven’t been here before. In my opinion I will always take the Narita Express from the airport to Tokyo which takes approximately 1 hour. Next I will take the Shinkansen (bullet train) to Nagano (90 minutes) and then the bus to Hakuba (1 hour). It is the fastest and most comfortable way to get here. The negatives are the transfers in Tokyo and Nagano with your bags. The positives are very comfortable seating, carriage service and getting to ride on the bullet train is an experience in itself. It is also the quickest option. For an easy option there is a bus that leaves Narita at 8pm. It will take longer however it is a good service if you don’t want the adventure late in the evening. Let us know your travel details when you book and we can help you find the best way here. Free Hakuba Station transfers are included for all our hotel guests.
