2. Take the JR Super Azusa from Shinjuku, Hachioji, or other stations along the route. There is one train that goes direct from Shinjuku to Hakuba (7:30 departure I think), or you will have to change in Matsumoto to the Oito line bound for Shinano-Omachi and Hakuba. The Super Azusa departs every hour from Shinjuku to Matsumoto from the JR station in Shinjuku. Please check with this website for precise times.

By Bus

Keio Bus From Shinjuku West Exit
Overall the easiest (no transfers) and cheapest (4700 yen one way) from Tokyo to Hakuba. Without traffic jams, the ride is 4.5 hours with two rest stops on the way. During holidays and weekend commuting times, be prepared for delayed times. To find the bus terminal, exit Shinjuku station on the west side and follow the signs, or exit on the street level and cross the street and turn left, go one block and turn right. The terminal is across from Yodabashi Camera (remember this in case you need to ask directions from a friendly salaryman). Check out their website for additional information.
