Hakuba Shuttle Bus | Resort Shuttle

The Hakuba Shuttle Bus service is now open for 25/26 bookings

Private charter services for large groups are available by request here.

The Hakuba Shuttle Bus is one of the most convenient ways to get to the Hakuba Valley from Narita Airport and Haneda Airport in Tokyo. Many flights arrive late and normally you would spend the night in Tokyo. But if you get the ski shuttle bus to take you to Hakuba, then you can be on the slopes in the morning! You can also book intra-resort shuttles to or from the nearby main Nagano ski resorts as well as to/from Nagano Station to meet the shinkansen.

Need a Hakuba private transfer?

For medium-large groups we can help organise a direct private transfer at reasonable cost from the airport to Hakuba (and/or return). This chartered direct service from the Tokyo airports or your Tokyo hotel to your most hotels in the area would be between 105,000-265,000 each way depending on numbers & bus type. Check here for more details. Taxi/charter journeys will usually take 4-5 hours depending on traffic and weather conditions. Comfort stops are included. Private transfers from/to Nagano Station or other Nagano resorts, as well as the Myoko resorts, are also available.
