Whether you prefer to jump on a shuttle bus, book a taxi or hire a car and drive yourself, there are plenty of options to get around the Hakuba Valley.
Hakuba Car Rental
Hiring a car is a great way to get around during your Hakuba stay.
Whether it is dropping the kids off at ski lessons, checking out the ski hill you haven’t been to yet, visiting an out of the way onsen, going to buy groceries, or dining out in the evenings, having a car opens up more possibility and can make your holiday experience smoother.
Shuttle Bus Services
The Hakuba Valley operates a shuttle bus service connecting 9 ski areas in the Hakuba Valley during the daytime and a nighttime bus for restaurants and nightlife.
In addition, each individual ski area runs its own shuttle bus service to access their ski area.
Hakuba Taxis
Navigating the Hakuba Valley is much easier once you know the "local secrets" of the taxi system.
Because the valley is spread out over 40 kilometers, taxis are the most flexible way to get to dinner or between ski resorts after the shuttle buses stop running.
