Transport in Nagano

Easy booking through Klook. Super easy redemption at the airport. Seat reservation: No problem at the machine. But not always necessary, sometimes we just rode in the unreserved car. Staff always very friendly. We used it in Kyoto, Osaka, Nara and Hiroshima. Everything worked out great.

Price: Very worth it. The value is 30,000 yen, but I actually used 69,000 yen. Having a pass makes me not worry. Plus, I got a discounted price from Klook.

Using the JR East Nagano-Niigata Area Pass this time was super convenient, with unlimited Shinkansen rides for 5 days. You can use it to travel all the way from Tokyo to Karuizawa, Nagano, and Niigata, which saved a lot on transportation costs. The best part is being able to reserve seats, making it easy to travel with luggage. It's perfect for people who enjoy in-depth travel or exploring north from Tokyo. The pass is very cost-effective, and I'd like to use it again next time!

A good option for red-eye flights or those traveling with elderly or young children. Narita Airport Bus Stop 16 is located just a short walk to the left from the exit. Show the QR code to the staff, then line up and wait. The driver will help load your luggage, and passengers can take any available seat. The bus ride is about 2.5 hours to a rest stop, where there's a 30-minute break. You can use the restroom or buy something to eat for the ride. After that, it's about another hour's drive to the Prince Hotel West Wing lobby. 👍🏻
