Hello all

Just joined this site! Having been skiing for the last 14 years, it's mainly been in Europe and America. So this year I've decided to push to boat out and sample Japan! A little bit apprehensive but hey, let's give it a go! newhere

Can anyone tell me the best and economical way to travel from Tokyo to Hakuba?

Skyliner train > Ueno Keisei

Ueno Station > Nagano Station (Nagano Shinkansen)

Nagano Station > Hakuba

Unfortunately, not much cheese is available on said journey, so take your own!

Or the bus from Shinjuku is a cheap way to go if you don't mind a longer journey and drops you off at the bottom of the entrance to Hakuba Goryu.
