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.

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..

Upon arrival at Narita airport we already claimed the pass and booked our Narita express rides and Shinkansen seat reservations for Nagano, Iiyama, Karuizawa. Big savings especially if your based in Tokyo.

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. 👍🏻
