Getting to Hakuba from Nagano
©2013 SkiHakuba G.K. (Godo Kaisha company), Hakuba Mura, Japan.
If
you
have
made
it
all
the
way
to
Nagano
station
then
the
easiest
way
to
get
to
Hakuba
is
by
bus
(about
1
1/4
hr).
Do
not
try
and
catch
a
train-even
if
you
have
a
JR
pass
as
you
will
need
to
backtrack
to
Matsumoto
first
then
train
it
from
there-
will take you 3 hrs or so.
