Transport in Takayama

Fast delivery. We received the exchange couple within few days. We went to Nagoya station to exchange the pass and also reserved our seats. We visited Gero, Shirakawago, Kanazawa, Fukui, Tsuruga. We took JR train, express bus and Shinkansen train. Very worth it

Just show the QR code to the Nohi Bus driver and you can board directly (you'll need internet access to open the screen and see the bus animation). Although the journey to the ropeway station is a bit long (about an hour and a half there, and two and a half hours back) and there are many stops in between, if there are passengers getting on and off at every stop during peak hours, it will take even longer for the round trip. The ropeway has two sections with different schedules, so you need to time it carefully and coordinate with the bus schedule. Overall, while playing in the snow was fun, the need to catch specific bus and ropeway times made the experience a bit rushed and stressful.😓

Highly recommended. Our driver, Mr Baiyong, was nice, punctual, and respectful. He even recommended a great Hida beef restaurant 👍

It was one of the memorable parts of my Tokyo trip since I was the only passenger plus the driver and tour guide. I wasn't expecting a tour guide but I got one and he is so friendly. Plus, the perfect weather showing the magesty of Mount Fuji. This is my second time seeing it but it still amazed me. Will definitely come back again.

driver was on time and was very helpful. this service is convenient if travelling with big groups or with seniors

Clean, comfortable bus with a very relaxed and kind driver. 3x breaks for bathroom visit. And everything on time.

Hida no Sato is actually not far from the city center, and you can easily buy physical bus tickets at the Takayama Bus Center. Initially, I was worried that so few people would buy this e-ticket that the driver wouldn't recognize it. Fortunately, as expected in Takayama, a popular tourist destination, the driver immediately recognized it and said it was fine. When getting off the bus, all you need to do is show the e-ticket screen.
