JRP travel help!

Hey there,

Your journey is pretty straightforward, except for Hakuba perhaps.
Here are a couple of example journeys:

Tokyo --> Kyoto 161 Minutes Kyoto --> Osaka

Osaka --> Hakuba is a bit more tricky, Hereis the normal route but takes 400+ minutes and you have a number of transfers. You can also take the Shinkansen to Nagoya, from there take the limited express train to Matsumoto and from there you can take a local train to Hakuba, this is not faster but the trains are more comfortable.

From Hakuba to Tokyo, you can take a local train to Matsumoto and from there to Shinjuku (Tokyo). Also once a day a limited express runs from Hakuba directly. This takes about 238 Minutes with a transfer in Matsumoto it takes about 30min more.

Hope this helps,
-Daniel
