gurgle 0 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Hi, Enquiring on behalf of some friends. Does anyone know if Takayama is accessible by road in winter ? Does anyone know the best way to get from either Kyoto or Takayama to Hakuba, the number of trains and connections look tedious (checked Hyperdia). Is there a bus or taxi service ? Actually, while I am at it, another question. Is a Hiroshima day trip feasible from Kyoto, or is that too much like hard work ? Thanks, Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 There's a road from Takayama to Matsumoto and its open in winter. There's a bus service on that road http://www.alpico.co.jp/access/express/matsumoto_takayama/ Matsumoto to Hakuba is easy, if a bit slow, on the train. Takayama's not far from the Gifu resorts too, of course. Link to post Share on other sites
Slippery Jim 65 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Kyoto to Hiroshima is just under two hours and just over Y10,000 by shinkansen (bullet train) FYI Link to post Share on other sites
