From Osaka to Hakuba 2014/12/31 05:09
Hello,

I need advice about my plan to visit Hakuba to see the snow from Osaka. Since im planning to purchase the ordinary 7 days JR Pass, can i use it from osaka to hakuba? And ialso i want to see the snow monkey, is there any place that is near from hakuba to see the sniw monkey? And also how long will it take from osaka to hakuba using the shinkansen?

Thank you so much in advance for the advjce,

Regards,

Yes, you can. Not sure when you are traveling, but if you travel on March 14 or later, travel via Itoigawa may be faster than travel via Nagoya due to the extension of the Hokuriku Shinkansen.

And ialso i want to see the snow monkey, is there any place that is near from hakuba to see the sniw monkey?

There is only one place to see the snow monkeys:

It is not easily accessed from Hakuba by the Japan Rail Pass. Access by non-JR buses would be much faster than access by JR trains via Matsumoto:

And also how long will it take from osaka to hakuba using the shinkansen?

Again, after March 14, travel via Itoigawa could become an alternative, but Hyperdia doesn't have the timetables yet.
