From Haneda

For most guests arriving at Haneda Airport in winter, the easiest option is a direct shuttle to Hakuba. Nagano Snow Shuttle operates daily services from Haneda to Hakuba as well as private transfers, avoiding the need to carry luggage through Tokyo and change between trains. Its Hakuba services use JR Hakuba Station as their main arrival and departure point.

Alpico has also operated a seasonal direct bus between Haneda Airport and Hakuba in previous winters. This service did not operate during the 2025–26 season, so check the Alpico website for the current winter before planning to use it.

Public transport is also straightforward. From Haneda, make your way to Tokyo Station using the airport bus or rail services; the Haneda Airport access guide provides current options. From Tokyo Station, take the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Nagano Station, then continue to Hakuba on the Alpico Nagano–Hakuba bus. NAVITIME is useful for checking the entire journey and current connections.

If you would like Morino Lodge to collect you from JR Hakuba Station, Happo Bus Terminal or another agreed arrival point, please arrange this well in advance and keep us updated with your expected arrival time. Our drivers and vans are often out during the day, so an unscheduled pickup can mean a significant wait. If a pickup has been confirmed, remain at the agreed meeting point until our driver arrives.

The simplest option from Haneda Airport to Myoko in winter is usually Nagano Snow Shuttle. It operates direct services from Haneda to Myoko Kogen as well as private transfers, making it particularly convenient if you are travelling with ski or snowboard bags. The Myoko service uses the Akakura Bus Stop in central Akakura, a short walk from Morino Lodge Myoko.

If you have a lot of luggage and would like us to collect you from the shuttle stop, please let us know well in advance. Our vehicles are in use throughout the day and an unscheduled pickup can involve a significant wait. If a pickup has been arranged, remain at the agreed meeting point until our driver arrives.

By public transport, travel from Haneda Airport to Tokyo Station using the airport bus or rail network; see the Haneda Airport access guide for current options. From Tokyo Station, take the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Nagano Station. At Nagano, change to the Shinano Railway Kita-Shinano Line and continue to Myoko-Kogen Station. NAVITIME is useful for checking current connections across the full journey.

We can collect guests from Myoko-Kogen Station, but please send us your arrival time as far in advance as possible. Evening station pickups are not available, so if you expect to arrive later in the day, contact us beforehand and we can arrange a local taxi. Kogen Taxi operates between Myoko-Kogen Station and the Akakura area. If you are arriving after a long international flight or carrying substantial luggage, the direct airport shuttle will generally be the easier option.
