About this routeGetting to Hakuba
Hakuba village lies at the foot of the Northern Alps in Nagano Prefecture, home to ski areas such as Happo-One, Hakuba Goryu and Hakuba Iwatake — a favourite with international skiers in winter and hikers in summer. It is a long drive from Tokyo's airports, and in ski season boards and boots add up quickly, so choose the Alphard or Hiace to fit your group and luggage.
From Narita Airport the same trip is ¥90,000 (Alphard), so this route saves ¥15,000.
