Yes, it is a travel-intesive, expensive side trip, but it is possible. I suggest the following:

06:24 depart Tokyo by Nagano Shinkansen
08:03 arrive Nagano
08:30 depart Nagano Station by bus
10:15 arrive Ogizawa at the eastern end of the Alpen Route
10:30 trolley bus departs Ogizawa
... travel along the Alpen Route
11:55 arrive Murodo

See the snow wall and have lunch

14:15 depart Murodo
... travel along the Alpen Route
15:51 arrive Ogizawa
16:05 depart Ogizawa by bus
17:45 arrive Nagano
18:11 depart Nagano by shinkansen
19:56 arrive Tokyo

Is there an option for an overnight bus instead of taking shinkansen both ways?
Thank you.
