Important Information

  • The date that operations are scheduled to begin may change due to snow removal.
  • Only major stops are listed on the timetable.
  • Operation between N-38 Kuraigahara Sanso and N-40 Daisekkei / Path to Katanokoya are scheduled to begin from late May.
  • Please reserve your seat online. Tickets are also available at the ticket counter in the Norikura Kogen Tourist Information Center, but only if seats are still available.
  • As the route includes high altitude mountain roads, buses will be cancelled if we determine that the safety of the route is less that ideal due to road conditions such as inclement weather, heavy snowfall, or icy roads.
  • We typically update this timetable in late March. If the new schedule is not yet available, please be patient for its release. We kindly ask that you refrain from inquiring about the new timetable, as we cannot provide more details than what is available on the timetable page.
  • Items such as ice axes, poles, pickaxes can potentially damage other passengers’ luggage. Please store them inside your backpack or carry them separately in a dedicated cover or bag. Loading and unloading of luggage is your responsibility.
