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.

Hakuba private transfers

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 119,000-169,000 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 Tokyo City or other Nagano resorts are also available.

Hakuba Shuttle Bookings

We can assist in booking a daily shuttle bus to get you from Narita Airport/Haneda Airport to Hakuba, and from the Hakuba Valley to Tokyo, Narita and Haneda. We also offer an inter-resort shuttle to and from a number of other nearby ski resorts in Nagano, as well as Myoko Kogen and Nagano Station

Services have finished for the 2022/23 season.

Please check back in July/August for 2023/24 schedules & prices
