How do I drive from Toyama to Hakuba?


Recommended Posts

I'm flying into Osaka, then getting the train to Toyama where I will collect a car. I need to drive from Toyama to Hakuba, however I'm not familiar with the roads. Have so far been unsuccesful finding English road maps for Japan.

 

Will check out those links, thanks \:\)

Use your brain just a bit and you will easily find the main roads and numbers on the above 2 maps by zooming in and out etc. The resorts are shown so I reckon it is possible.

 

I just took a look. It looks really simple. Route 8 (or the toll Hokuetsu Expressway) in a north easterly direction along the coast to Itoigawa, then turn right (south) onto Route 148 into Hakuba.

Otherwise there is a printed map book available in Japan (can't remember who published it).

Curt, I don't read or speak Japanese, those maps are all in Japanese as far as I can see. I appreciate the advice to use my brain.

 

I've had a look online and been unsuccessful, anyone else know of any road maps for Japan in English online which would make planning my trip easier?

 

Cheers,

Hugh.
