Night Bus Ski tour,Hakuba and Shiga Kogen,Nozawa Travel Guide,Japan Snow Resorts,Ski & Snowbroad
As far as you know, Japan is known for its cherry blossoms in spring season and its colored leaves in autumn season. I don’t know how many people know this, but Japan is one of very famous winter resorts in the world.
Usually, we take night bus around midnight from city to go to Hakuba and Nozawa where you can enjoy ski, and start skiing from early in the morning to night. Whatever you take bus or train, it takes less than 8 hours from Kyoto to get Hakuba and Nozawa. However, you can start skiing from the morning if you choose to take night bus, and you won’t waste your time with transfer.
It would be wonderful if we can help your winter travel makes memorable one.

Nagano Snow Resorts
Hakuba and ShigaKogen, located in the Northern Alps of Nagano Prefecture, is one of Japan's most popular ski areas, offering good snow and several large ski resorts to choose from.
During the 1998 Nagano Winter Olympics, Hakuba gained world wide recognition as it hosted several olympic competitions, including alpine (downhill, super g, and combination) and nordic (ski jump and cross country) events.
Today some of the olympic facilities remain in use, such as the Hakuba Ski Jumping Stadium. There is also the Hakuba Olympic Village Memorial Hall, a small but interesting museum, located within walking distance of the ski jump.
Hakuba can be reached relatively easily not only from Tokyo, but also from the Kyoto and Osaka regions. While it is possible to do a day trip from Tokyo, Hakuba is best enjoyed overnight. In addition to skiing and snowboarding, there are hot springs (onsen) available around town.
Seven of the resorts (Happoone, Goryu, Hakuba 47, Iwatake, Hakuba Highland, Minekata and Sanosaka) have teamed up to offer the "Hakuba Happy 7" package, which gives you two 1-day lift tickets to be used at any of the participating resorts. The package costs 8500 yen or 7700 yen if you are staying at a local hotel.
