A chartered taxi is the easiest way to get to Hakuba from the airport. A private van meets your party at the airport and transfers you to the front door of your Hakuba accommodation. Estimated time and cost: 4.5 hours - ¥79,000~.
- The taxi is chartered for groups of 5 to 9 adults, meaning your taxi is private, and there is no waiting for other passengers. As soon as you are through customs, you are on your way.
- The price per person is roughly the same as the train or bus without the hassle of waiting or missing your transfer and lugging your luggage around.
- If your trip commences at the airport, Uber can now go to Hakuba.
