One of the most convenient ways to get here from Narita or Haneda Airport is by taking the Nagano Snow Shuttle. Even if your flight arrives late, the shuttle can bring you to Nozawa that same night—so you can hit the slopes first thing the next morning! Daytime shuttles are also available.
We offer a daily shuttle bus to get you from Narita Airport / Haneda Airport to Nozawa Onsen, and from Nozawa Onsen to Tokyo, Narita and Haneda. We also offer an inner-resort shuttle, to and from a number of other ski locations nearby.
Please Note: Some shuttle times only run on certain dates outside of Peak Season. Please see each the information below for departures and dates / times.
Note: Bookings made less than 1 week of departure date are likely to be sold out.
