Tourist - Getting from Tokyo to Hakuba at night (10-11PM)

I'm arriving in Tokyo, Japan on the 23rd of March at 6pm, at the Narita Airport.

My problem is that I didn't plan for the time it takes to get from Tokyo to Hakuba, and after looking at options I figured the best one would be getting to Nagano (with the Shinkansen) and then finding transport from there.

We're a group of 4 and finding transport options to Hakuba at this time of the night has proven to be quite a challenge.

I'm wondering if there's any local companies specialised in private bookings or even night-time transportation options to get to Hakuba Valley?

Alternatively, is there any other routes that I could look into instead of going to Nagano first?

Thank you.
