Please note: Due to safety concerns with road conditions at night, nighttime drop-offs in Shiga Kogen are no longer offered. Private hotel transfers can be arranged from airports or Nagano Station for larger groups (at least 4+).

The Snow Monkey resort shuttle (Yudanaka, Shibu Onsen, and Kanbayashi Onsen) will have designated pick up / drop-off locations, rather that door to door service, as the roads are too narrow. Please select ‘Shiga Kogen’ as your service, then your pick up or drop off point for the Snow Monkey Resort Shuttle.

For the Snow Shuttle service, reservations can be made up to three days before departure. Buses do fill up during peak season so making your reservation in advance is advised. For our private charter service, enquiries must be made at least one month before the departure date. However we recommend booking as far as possible in advance due to high demand.

Can I book, and then pay when I board the bus?

No. All payment is required in advance.

Can I travel without making a reservation?

Subject to availability, you may purchase a ticket upon boarding. Please head to the Nagano Snow Shuttle airport desk or shuttle stop to see if there is any availability. However we highly recommend advance booking due to high demand.
