Special Myoko Bus Tours

The skiing’s great in Myoko—that’s why millions come here every year to enjoy the deep snow and beautiful setting at the base of Mt. Myoko. But there’s also lots to do and see in the surrounding area—Japanese culture and cuisine, scenery and relaxation. Let Keinan Bus Company be your guide, with Myoko-area trips. Comfortable buses and reliable drivers experienced in deep-snow driving—a great way to explore this beautiful part of Japan.

Weekdays, buses depart from the Akakura Bus Terminal for Seki Onsen Ski Area, a smaller area famous for its open powder runs, especially among boarders. Close on a map, the mountanious terrain means a drive is necessary to get there, making our bus the ideal way to get there and back!

And twice weekly, join us for a visit to Nagano City, and to see the famous Snow Monkeys!

Tours for 2011-2012 can be found here, including downloadeable flyers with reservation information.
