Transport in Nagano

I had an amazing experience purchasing my 14-day Japan Rail Pass via Klook. I booked it on 01/27/26, and was pleasantly surprised when the voucher arrived in Manila, Philippines just two days later on 01/29/26. The delivery was quick and hassle-free, which made preparing for my trip even more exciting. When I arrived in Japan, I exchanged the voucher at the JR Office next to Kansai Airport and the process was very smooth and efficient. I was able to activate and start using my pass right away on 02/14/26, the day I arrived. I truly maximized the pass by traveling mostly on Shinkansen and JR trains—from Kagoshima in the south all the way to Wakkanai in Hokkaido, the northernmost station served by JR. I visited many prefectures and experienced Japan’s incredible railway network to the fullest. As someone fascinated with trains, this journey was pure happiness. This is already my 3rd time using the 14-day JR Pass, and I will definitely buy one again on my future visits to Japan. 🚄✨🎌💛🚉💯

Booking the Hokuriko Arch Pass on Klook was smooth and convenient. The pass was easy to book in the app and I received my voucher 7 days after i booked. i exchanged the voucher at Narita Airport and they gave me the actual pass which i can use unlimited on all JR east/west lines around tokyo and hokuriko region for 7 days. It was also convenient and easy to book Hokuriko shinkansen on our preferred time and date with reserved seats. Totally worth it! The only downside we had was the pass sometimes are not being recognized on some stations, it wont allow us to pass so we needed to go through the manned gate , but other that that no problem. Will still book for sire to explore other areas in Hokuriko..

Got the QR code almost immediately from Klook after purchase and just showed it to the staff at Narita Airport’s JR-EAST Travel Service Centre to get the physical pass. The staff also helped us confirm all our online reservations. Recommend to reserve popular train seats a week in advance, especially for morning routes. Managed to cover Nagano, Iiyama, Matsumoto, Karuizawa, Kamisuwa and Niigata using this pass. Super worth the price!

We arrived at Narita Terminal 1, and there's a shuttle bus at bus stop #6 outside the terminal that goes to Terminal 3. After getting off, continue looking for bus stop #6 (what a coincidence), it's not difficult at all. The driver was very polite, and we stopped at 2 rest areas along the way, arriving smoothly at Tsugaike, which was very convenient. I will definitely 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. 👍🏻
