Shirakawa-go, Suganuma, Takayama bus schedule

I will travel to Japan this Nov 2015.
During this trip, there are 2 days will be spent in mainly Shirakawa-go, Takayama, Suganuma.
I will be staying in Shirakawa-go's home stay.
I plan to travel between these places by taking Nouhi bus.
But I'm not too sure about the bus schedule.

My plan is:
0800 hrs Shirakawa free and easy
1215 hrs Depart from Shirakawa-go
1305 hrs Reach Takayama - Lunch
1400 hrs Takayama free and easy
1630 hrs Depart from Takayama
1720 hrs Back to Shirakawa-go

or,

0800 hrs Shirakawa free and easy
1025 hrs Depart from Shirakawa-go
1050 hrs Reach Gokayama Suganuma
1345 hrs Depart from from Gokayama Suganuma
1410 hrs Reach Shirakawa-go
1440 hrs Depart from Shirakawa-go
1530 hrs Reach Takayama
1630 hrs Depart from Takayama
1720 hrs Back to Shirakawa-go

Please advise whether my plan is possible or not.
Thank you very much in advance.

According to the time table of Nohi Bus Co., your departure and arrival time schedules are all correct.

However "1530hrs Reach Takayama" and "1630hrs Depart from Takayama" doesn't make sense. You have only one hour in Takayama. What are you going to do in Takayama?
Considering the above, I recommend your upper plan.

Thanks

Hiro

Dear Hiro-san,

Thank you for your advise.
I have one more question, if I plan to travel to Ainokura village from Shirakawa village, is it only accessible via Kaetsuno Bus service?

And correct me if I'm wrong, Kaetsuno Bus service is not included in the Takayama-Hokuriku Area Tourist Pass.

Thank you again for your precious time.

This is in response to your inquiry.
I checked the website below:
http://touristpass.jp/en/takayama_hokuriku/

According to this, Transport services and routes covered by this pass: Non-reserved seats of ordinary cars of JR limited express, express, rapid, and ordinary trains between Nagoya £­ Toyama station (via Tokaido/Takayama lines), between Kanazawa £­ Kyoto station £­ stations within Osaka City area (via Hokuriku/Kosei/Tokaido lines), between stations within Osaka City area £­ Kansai-airport station (via Hanwa/Kansai-airport lines)
Non-reserved seats of ordinary cars of the Hokuriku Shinkansen between Toyama £­ Kanazawa station
Nohi Bus/Hokutetsu Bus: Shirakawa-go/Kanazawa line between Takayama Nohi Bus Center ¨C Shirakawa-go ¨C Kanazawa (with some exceptions; reservations required)
Kaetsuno Bus: World Heritage Bus between Shirakawa-go £­ Shin-Takaoka station

Only Kaetsuno Bus is availabe for the transportation between Shirakawago and Ainokura and this bus fare is covered by Takayama/Hokuriku pass.

Thanks

Hiro
