Transport in Nagano

JAPAN IS 🩷 Having this pass (Japan Rail Pass) is worth it. If you're planning to wander all over Japan you must acquire this pass. I''ve been to Fukuoka, Hiroshima, Osaka, Kyoto, Nagoya, Sapporo and Tokyo all included especially the Shinkansen. This was my second visit in Japan and I think if ever I will back again will acquire the same pass if I need to travel all over the county (Japan).

Very value for money for traveling back and forth around Hokuriku region, Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo metropolitan JR lines and trains to Haneda and Narita airport for 7 consecutive days. Frequent trains from Nagano to Tsuruga so it is very convenient if we only want to satisfy food and drinks cravings from the next city and return after a couple of hours! Quick and easy seat reservation process, otherwise if one is in a rush it is also easy to just hop on the non-reserved seat cars. Will deffo get again if I am back in the area.

It was very easy to use the pass, we exchanged it for the actual pass/ticket when we landed at Narita airport, and we immediately used it on our way to Nagano. Since the pass has a validity period of 5 days, whereas we stayed for 7, we had to pay extra for the 2 additional days. We did not purchase any passes anymore since going on a per-train basis was more economical. When in doubt about the pass use, you can always ask the friendly JR staff at each station. We definitely saved a lot by using this JR pass.

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. 👍🏻
