hannasus 0 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Hi, Just wondering if anyone could give me some advice on the best way of getting from Kobe to Hakuba? I am getting the ferry to Kobe from Tianjin, arriving on 4th Feb, and need to get up to Hakuba. I'm guessing train is probably the best option, but am unsure of which route, prices, how to book tickets. Any advice would be much apreciated! Thanks, Susie Link to post Share on other sites
stemik 14 Posted January 19, 2009 Share Posted January 19, 2009 Take the Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka or Shin-Kobe to Nagoya. Then transfer to the "Shinano" limited express to Matsumoto where you can get on the "Azusa" or local "Oito line" to Hakuba. (about 5 hours) or you can take the bus from Kobe direct to Hakuba..Bus is called sunshinetour Link to post Share on other sites
dizzy 0 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 the cheapest bus is 11,500 round trip per person. the train, by the route stemik suggested, would be 12,410 one-way per person (unless you have a JR Rail Pass) Link to post Share on other sites
