Several free and paid shuttle bus services operate between Hakuba and Shinano-Omachi, providing not only a convenient and cost-effective transportation option but also enhancing the overall travel experience. By using these shuttles, guests staying in Hakuba can easily access a wide variety of dining options—from cozy local eateries to more refined restaurants—broadening the culinary enjoyment of their stay.
At the same time, the shuttle makes it easy to avoid the crowds in Hakuba by staying in Omachi, while still enjoying full access to Hakuba’s ski resorts. As dinner reservations in Hakuba have become increasingly difficult to secure in recent years, we highly recommend taking advantage of these convenient shuttle services. This seamless connectivity ensures a richer and more flexible experience for both dining and skiing.
The shuttles include the free “Gurutto Bus” connecting Hakuba and Omachi, as well as the paid Hakuba Valley Shuttle (free for Season Pass and Day Pass holders), operating according to the timetables below:
