GETTING THERE
Nearest Airports
Approximate planning ranges; allow extra time for traffic and winter conditions.
From Tokyo, rail via Nagano followed by onward road transport is a useful starting point. Hotel Green Plaza lists reserved arrival transfers from Nagano and Minami-Otari; check which operates for your stay.
If staying in central Hakuba, plan the trip north to Cortina and the final return service before choosing accommodation. A local hotel shuttle does not necessarily serve Cortina. Allow extra time for winter roads, equipment collection and lesson meeting points.
