well it will be same for me,

i think u wait 2 or 4 hours where ever is your first stop of before you fly to japan and u arive there at 7 at night and its 6 hours from narita airport to hakuba on bus so that sounds about right.

Why no Shinkansen?????

well you can if you want to but if u go with liquid snow they organise transport for you etc, and also i am not sure if it is the most smartest thing to go with bullet train at 7 at night considering u/i dont know my way around japan.

+

from what i was told you still need to get a bus for another 1 or 2 hours to hakuba once you get off a bullet train.

dunno if i am right but this is what i was told.
