FROM THE AIRPORT From Narita or Haneda Airport
Most overseas guests land at Narita or Haneda. There are two easy ways to reach Hakuba.
Airport → Tokyo Station → bullet train (fastest, all year)
Take the train or limousine bus from the airport to Tokyo Station, then follow "Tokyo to Hakuba by bullet train and bus" below.
Direct airport bus (winter only)
In winter, the Nagano Snow Shuttle runs direct from Narita and Haneda to Hakuba (approx. 5.5–6.5 hours, from around late December to March). There are no changes, and your ski or snowboard bag travels with you on the bus (a ¥750 surcharge applies per ski/snowboard bag; extra luggage can be added when you book). Some 2026–27 services are still awaiting final government approval, so please check fares and timetables on the official website before booking.

BY CAR Coming by car
- Parking: Free on-site parking (8 spaces). Reservation required — please let us know when you book.
- Winter driving: The road in front of the hotel is a slope and it snows heavily. Please use winter tyres and carry snow chains. In winter (about December–March), winter tyres or snow chains are required by law.
- Rental cars: In Nagano Prefecture, major rental companies fit winter (studless) tyres as standard during the snow season — for example, Nippon Rent-A-Car from 1 December to 31 March. Please confirm when you book. Nippon Rent-A-Car does not rent out snow chains, so bring your own if you need them.
