Thanks for the help guys.
Davo, it's funny. The website you gave me was good but it only had trains.
I was thinking of going up via Nagoya to Takayama then going east-ish to Washigatake. The way you suggested was good except you would travel up to Takayama, down again then up again when you can take a simple bus for about 50kms from Takayama... but the question is... is there a bus? lol
I might have to ask my host family to help me out when I get there.
On top of that, the train from Mino-Ota to Hokunou is a 36 station stopping all stations train. It takes 2 hours and 15 minu
