sfesharaki 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Does anyone think its possible to arrive into Nagano station at 20:24 (Shinkansen #561) via Tokyo and still make the last Hakuba bus at 20:35? I am curious if its possible given that there is only a 10 minute difference between the two and i will still have to buy the bus ticket once I arrive at Nagano. Thanks.

longboardsk8man 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 You shouldnt have any problem. Its only a short walk from the station to the bus stop (from memory bus stop # 5 or 6) There will probably be people queueing for the bus anyway with ppl from the bus company selling tix anyway. when u heading up?? we're up there this weekend and a few of our lads are planning on taking that bus I think.

sfesharaki 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 Im planning on heading up on Jan 25th-29th. Would be curious to hear how your trip went up there and how the conditions were upon your return. Happy shredding! Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
TJ OZ 0 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 When you get off the train and pass the stalls turn left and go outside and down the escalator and then left again down the steps. Walk straight ahead to the last bus stop(as LB said) no.5 or 6. You can pay for your ticket when you get off at Hakuba. Make sure you have correct change, 1300yen I think. There is usually a station hand who will help you at the bus if you are confused. As long as you say Ha-Koo-Baa he should be able to help. Link to post Share on other sites
longboardsk8man 0 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Depends on where you`re staying as well as to the best place to get off. We were staying at Sun Valley Hotel (cheap as chips and right next to the lifts, but not a lot else around there) and our bus stop was goyru. We`re at the Backpackers this week so i think that`s Goryu as well. Check with ur hotel and they might be able to come and pick you up to save you the walk... from memory I think we paid 1400Y one way for our tix ..... Link to post Share on other sites
TJ OZ 0 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 LB. you can get tickets at the shop under the stairs at the start of the bus line and save yourself 100 or 200 yen. Not advisable for Hawaii50 if you don't have the time to sort it out. Link to post Share on other sites
sfesharaki 0 Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 Thanks everyone. I am staying at Snowbeds in Hakuba. I guess its only a 3 minute walk from the station or you can get a cab??? Link to post Share on other sites
misorano 1 Posted January 5, 2006 Share Posted January 5, 2006 Hawaii 50: Get a cab. It's about an hour walk up hill to Snowbeds from Hakuba Station. Roads are no in good conditions at the moment. Link to post Share on other sites
sfesharaki 0 Posted January 5, 2006 Author Share Posted January 5, 2006 Misorano, Thanks for the heads up. Cab sounds like its the only way to go. I assume they are right oustide the station?? Link to post Share on other sites
