RobBright 35 Posted January 15, 2011 Share Posted January 15, 2011 Need some advice about driving to Hakuba as its my first time to do that route. For those that have done it from Yokohama/Kanagawa, what route did you take and how long? Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 This is the route I have been suggested: Chuo highway to Matsumoto before heading north on route 147 to Nagano and Hakuba. Any improvements on that? Link to post Share on other sites
iiyamadude 6 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 No, that will be your route. Sorry get off at Toyoshina Link to post Share on other sites
Chriselle 158 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Get off the Nagano expressway at Toyoshina..hook up to 147. It goes all the way to Hakuba. Between Omachi and Omachikita route 147 changes # to 148 but it's the same road. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yeah, I do that route all the time. Toyoshina exit is the one after Matsumoto. Once on the 147 there are actually a couple of turns you have to make but the signs are pretty clear straight into Hakuba. Link to post Share on other sites

Thundercat 60 Posted January 17, 2011 Share Posted January 17, 2011 Are you heading up there on the 18-19th of Feb? I was thinking of going up then but will most likely be there three weekends in a row prior to that so... I guess it will depend on the snow forecast! Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted January 17, 2011 Author Share Posted January 17, 2011 Yeah, off up on the 19th to the 21st and staying at the Blue Dragon Hakuba. Link to post Share on other sites
