note JR tickets
  • To get to Teteyama Kurobe Alpine Route from Tokyo, JR overnight train "Rapid Moonlight Shinshu 81th" is all reserved seat and operated during busy season such as weekends between July and September. Since it's hard to take a reservation ticket on this train for foreigners, it's advisable to take JR limited express "Super Azusa" or highway buses. And I suggest staying in Matsumoto city, Shinano Omachi Onsen (Hot Springs), or Hakuba area from the night before, and use baggage delivery service.
