Transfer services to the Japan Snow Monkey Park
Welcome to the Japan Snow Monkey Park transfer service, Japan Snow Monkey Shuttle Bus
Japan Snow Monkey Shuttle Bus
The Japan Snow Monkey Shuttle Bus is one of the most convenient ways to get to the Snow Monkey Park from Narita Airport and Haneda Airport in Tokyo. Many flights arrive late and normally you would spend the night in Tokyo. But if you get the shuttle bus to take you to The Snow Monkeys, then you can be waking up in your local accommodation in the morning! You can also book intra-resort shuttles to or from the nearby main Nagano ski resorts as well the Myoko ski resorts to meet the shinkansen.
Need a private transfer to the Japan Snow Monkeys?
For medium-large groups we can help organise a direct private transfer at reasonable cost from the airport to your accommodation in the area around the Snow Monkeys (and/or return). This chartered direct service from the Tokyo airports or your Tokyo hotel to most hotels in the area would be between 115,000 (5 people) – 249,000 (20+ people) each way depending on numbers & bus type. Taxi/charter journeys will usually take 5-6 hours depending on traffic and weather conditions. Comfort stops are included. Private transfers from Tokyo City and Nagano Station or other Nagano resorts, as well as the Myoko resorts, are also available. Fill in the form on this page for a quote.
