How to get to the Minakami region:

The Minakami area is located in the northern part of Gunma Prefecture and is a simple and quick journey from the Tokyo area - both by train and car.

By Car

The Kanetsu Expressway (toll road) runs through north from Tokyo through Gunma and into Niigata Prefecture.  The journey from Nerima I.C. in northern Tokyo to Minakami I.C. is about 130km and in good conditions can take less than 90 minutes.  (Please note that in bad weather conditions and peak times, it can take considerably longer). 

If you get off at Minakami I.C, turn left onto towards the resorts in Minakami.

If you are planning on visiting the resorts in Katashina or Kawaba, it is best to get off at Numata I.C. and use Route 120.

   
By train

The Joetsu Shinkasen (bullet train) stops regularly at Jomo Kogen Station and costs about 5000 yen one way.

Using local train lines, take the Takasaki line from Ueno to Takasaki Station, and then change to the Joetsu line to Minakami Station.
