Looking to find your way around Hakuba this summer then look no further we have the 2021 summer bus schedule for you. There are 3 bus lines that all start and end their loops at the Happo information center. The three lines, differentiated by color, follow the same general loop, but have different stops servicing different areas of town. The green line has more stops on the South end of town in Goryu and also a stop at the Himekawa head waters and Green Sports. The blue line offers more stops in Echoland, Happo, Wadano and Iwatake. The red line has the least number of stops, and appears to be more of an express bus, though it dose offer a stop in Ochikura the furthest north stop available. Busses run from 8:20AM – 4:40PM.

Book Your Hakuba Trip
Hi, welcome to Events Hakuba. I started this site about eight years ago with a friend (who’s since moved away) to help travelers get more out of their time in Hakuba. What began as an event calendar has grown into a resource for everything from logistics to local insights.
It’s a one-person operation, and while I do my best to keep things current, it’s not a full-time gig—so thanks for your patience if anything’s slightly out of date.
If you’re curious about my main work, I run The Fifth Business — helping independent hotels scale guest revenue, retention, and operations without adding complexity.
