Shakespeare Hotel
The Shakespeare Hotel Hakuba enjoys a prime location in Echoland to access restaurants and bars, and the bus stop to the ski resorts.The hotel main building mimics Shakespeare’s birth house and part of the building resembles Shakespeare’s school, and whilst the rooms are western style, the hotel still retains plenty of Japanese characteristics.
Where is the Shakespeare Hotel?
The Shakespeare Hotel has a perfect Hakuba Echoland location, tucked in just behind the main street of Echoland where there are plenty of restaurants and bars.
It’s about 1.5km from the Happo One Ski Resort of Hakuba and the bus stop across the road takes you to Happo One and other Hakuba ski areas. This Hakuba Base Camp bus stop is also where the airport shuttle buses arrive and where day trip shuttles to other Nagano ski resorts (Nozawa Onsen, Madarao, Shiga Kogen, Myoko Kogen) depart from.

Hakuba travel page for information on the location of Hakuba and how to get there.
