Transport in Takayama

Easy to use with detailed instructions. Vouchers can be shown to staff before boarding. This is a non-reserved booking for bus times, dates, and seating.

"Extremely useful pass! It covers the Shinkansen and Nohi Bus, making travel much cheaper and easier than buying tickets trip-by-trip. You can book your entire Shin-Osaka to Hokuriku route at the counter in advance. A major plus is the inclusion of six reserved seat bookings—more than enough for most trips, as I only used four for my entire journey."

It was easy to redeem. No need to go to the counter. The ride was smooth. We went on a ‘bad weather’ which was perfect to catch some falling snow moment. The price was cheaper compared to buying both tickets separately. The ride to shinhotaka was amazing, the first gondola ride was a bit compact but the double decker gondola was amazing

Wonderful bus. transport included: 10/10 price: 10/10 seat reservation process: 10/10 pass area coverage: 10/10 redemption guide: 10/10

Very smooth experience and our driver / guide Mr Bai was very professional with timing and explanation. We did the Takayama - Shirakawa-go route. Went to the Takayama Jinya which is the only Edo period government house remaining. It is deathly cold inside as there is no heating for preservation precautions so either wear very thick winter socks and request for slippers. Very informative and educational. Definitely ask for the Hida Beef Yakiniku experience. Best to go there when lunch starts at 11-1130. It gets crowded later on. We then went to Shirakawa-go after lunch and you can expect to spend at least 3 hours there. Go to the outdoor museum first which is adjacent to the carpark, before you cross the bridge. To get to the observation point you can either trek up (which can be quite steep in parts), or take a shuttle bus (follow signs to this location) but expect a queue.

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.

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.

easy to use. just line up at the pre determined bus entrance at the bus center then when boarding show the voucher. also, you need to show it again as you alight the bus. NOTE:redeem voucher when your already lining up for the ride. it only has a 1 hr validity ...

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