Very convenient and easy to use, for trips heading to Tokagushi and as it’s hop-on hop-off, it’s very seemless to travel within the 3 levels of Tokagushi mountain/area
Great trip easy to use and cheap to recommend everyone to use
The bus arrived on time and the driver was very courteous.
Cheaper than buy in bus office and very convenient to use. Exchange terminal is very easy to find as well. However, staff’s English is not really good. It would be better if you know a bit Japanese.
Take the exit (from Nagano Station) that brings you to Hotel Metropolitan Nagano, and the Alpico Highway Express Bus shop is just across the road (beside a post office, and below a nicely stocked Don Quijote). Collection of the bus pass was quick and hassle-free, I just showed them my print-out (with the QR code) and they passed me a ticket with a map. The buses depart around every other hour outside the shop (so just check the schedule beforehand) for Tokagushi. I only managed to cover the highest shrine (really pretty, I hiked all the way in) and the middle shrine (took a bus to get in between them; again check the schedule) since I was only there for a day trip, alongside the Ninja House museum which was really the highlight (real-life escape room; opposite the highest shrine area). If you return back to Nagano station, the 5 Day ticket is considered voided (the hop-on and hop-off is only valid for 5 days within Tokagushi itself; so it will be even more worth it if you are staying there). Overall very value-for-money still (with an additional free bus ride to Zenkoji temple; take from bus stop '1') and the price paid to Klook is cheaper than if you get it there by itself.
Good place. I think Togakushi is almost beautiful every season. I hope to visit again
With the redemption voucher, redeem the ticket in the case of the Alpico Traffic Nagano 左 in front of the left side of JR Nagano, and redeem it. You can take the bus to the Aoba, Okura, Gyeonggi and Zenkoji Temples with the ABC ticket.
Totsuka Shrine is a national park with many shrines worth visiting, and the fare is not cheap. This card can be used freely on the mountain to take the Baoshan Temple.
It is very convenient to go to the house. When I was redeeming, the people at the station were not familiar with the ticket exchange. I asked for a round before I exchanged it for me.
Go to the Hidden Society and the Hidden Pool, the necessary transportation ticket, and return to the Zenko Temple to pay homage.
