Where is Hakuba?<\/h2>\n

Deep in the Northern Japanese Alps, the Hakuba Valley is surrounded on all sides by stunning mountains. Happo Village, the heart of Hakuba skiing, sits one hour north of Nagano station by bus and roughly 3 hours from Tokyo.<\/p>\n

Three Ways to Access Hakuba from Tokyo<\/h3>\n
\n

Take the Shinkansen from Tokyo Station to Nagano Station and then take the bus to Hakuba Bus Terminal.
\nTime<\/b>: 3 hours
\nCost<\/b>: \u00a510,000<\/dd>\n
<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n<\/dl>\n
\n
Option 2<\/dt>\n
Take the JR Azusa Line from Shinjuku to Hakuba Station. While it may not be as luxurious as the Shinkansen, this scenic train ride ends at Hakuba Station saving you the trouble of transferring to a bus.
\nTime<\/b>: 4 Hours
\nCost<\/b>: \u00a58,000<\/dd>\n
<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n
<\/dt>\n
