Access to Myoko from Tokyo is so easy and there are many ways to arrive at our beautiful destination. We highly recommend travelling by car - AWD or 4WD with winter tyres for great sightseeing, side trips and travel to resorts. We offer plenty of off street parking at the front of the lodge.

Talk to people who have chased the powder in Japan before and they will all say how good it is to have your own transport.
Japanese ski areas do not have the kind of transfer system between resorts that Europe and North America take for granted.
Car rental can solve all of the issues. Tokyo has many car rental options available for pick up at airports and travel hubs but our suggestion is to make your way up to either Nagano or Joetsu on the Shinkansen bullet train and pick up a rental car from the station.
4wd or all wheel drive vehicles with winter tyres are essential during the winter months. Driving is on the left hand side of the road in Japan which suits some but not all visitors and English is very common on road signs in case your Google map gives up.
Remember to organise your international drivers permit before you leave too!
