Takayama - Shirakawago - Kanazawa
Operated by: Nohi Bus and Hokutetsu
With the opening of the last missing section of the Tokai-Hokuriku Expressway on July 6, 2008, travel time between Takayama and Shirakawa-go was reduced from previously two hours to 50 minutes. The timetables were adjusted accordingly.
This bus line is the most popular way of accessing Shirakawa-go. Two round trips per day are operated along the entire route between Takayama and Kanazawa. Most of the other services are operated between Takayama and Shirakawa-go, with some continuing from Shirakawa-go to nearby Hirase Onsen and onwards to Maki.
Valid from July 6, 2008:
A = operates daily
B = operates daily except on weekends and public holidays
Y = operates only on weekends and public holidays; daily from July 19 to August 24
Z = operates only on weekends and public holidays until November 30; daily from July 19 to August 24
R = bus requires a seat reservation
18:32 = blue colored arrival/departure times indicate that the bus stops at "Ogimachi" bus stop instead of "Shirakawa-go" bus stop (see map)
