It is very convenient to collect it, just go to the bus station to redeem it! A very discounted ticket. You can visit Kamikochi and Shinhotaka in one night by staying at Hirayu Onsen. The scenery is beautiful! ! !

Taking Hirayu Onsen as the midpoint, you can go to Kamikochi on the first day, and then go to Shin-Hotaka on the second day. It’s a very value-for-money ticket! The air in the mountains is very good and the scenery is beautiful.

This is my second time in Takayama. This time I chose Ying'an from Duomi Group. They have private soups, late night snacks, ice bars, and lactic acid drinks in the morning. It's just right.

Okuhida & Kamikochi Bus Ticket (Including Shin-Hotaka Ropeway) - Departing from Takayama, this bus ticket is cost-effective and very convenient. The only drawback is that it can only be redeemed on the day of departure and cannot be redeemed in advance.

It is very convenient to exchange tickets at Nongfei Bus. After exchanging the tickets, you only need to show the ticket for each trip, which saves the time of queuing.
