Nagano ⇆ Hakuba (Green Season)

Ticketing

You cannot reserve a seat or buy a ticket in advance, even one day prior. Boarding is on a first-come, first-served basis, and purchasing a ticket does not guarantee that you will be able to board your preferred service.
Please purchase your ticket on the day of boarding, and then join the boarding queue.
The bus ticket for the Nagano to Hakuba line that you purchased allows you to board any bus on the same day.
If you are concerned that the bus might be full, please line up early.
We add more buses during busy times. But if the bus becomes full, please board the next available bus.

Luggage

This bus has a luggage compartment where you can stow your suitcases. There are no restrictions on the number or size of items.

Timetable Updates

The timetable for the green season will be updated around mid-March.
We apologize for any inconvenience. We cannot provide the exact release date for the timetable. The schedule will be posted on the timetable page once it has been confirmed.
If the schedule for next year is not yet available, we kindly ask for your patience. Please refrain from inquiring about the release date, as we cannot offer additional details beyond what is provided on the timetable page.
This bus service operates year-round, with only minor changes to the schedule compared to last year. Until the updated timetable is released, you may refer to last year's schedule as a guide.

Onboard Facilities

This bus does not have a restroom onboard, and there are no restroom breaks during the journey.
This bus is not equipped with a wheelchair lift or designated wheelchair space, so it cannot accommodate passengers who wish to remain in their wheelchair during the journey. Please fold your wheelchair and store it in the bus's luggage compartment. Kindly note that unfolded wheelchairs cannot be accepted.
