panhead_pete 27 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 From Haneda you can go by shuttle to Hakuba (about $150) or airport express or train to TKO central then Shink to Nagano and then a bus. If you are doing it over a week a 7 day JR pass might be the best option. Link to post Share on other sites
