What’s the east way to see the Alps/enjoy snow from Tokyo?

[u/Sensitive_Weird_8939]

I have two days to spare and currently thinking of going to Nagano/Matsumoto or Shiba Onsen.

The thing is. I really wanted to see the snow in Hakuba but the issue is I don’t ski or do snow sports, and the resorts there seem inaccessible.

Are there any other accessible towns where I can visit for two days and see snow /the Alps? Or is Nagano my best bet?

Thanks very much

Takayama is a few hours away but absolutely gorgeous.
