Nohi bus to Shinhotaka Ropeway in Winter?

Hi there,

1) Thinking to buy this 5 days pass by basing in Takayama to do day trips to Shirakawago, Shinhotaka Ropeway, Hida-Furukawa for Jan 2024 trip.
2) May I know does Nohi Bus operates during winter (Dec to Feb) to Shinhotaka Ropeway station for the double decker gondola?
3) Checked the Nohi Bus website & it only stated bus timetable from "15 Jul to 27 Aug" + "1 Apr to 30 Nov".
4) Or any other advice on how to get to Shinhotaka Ropeway station from Takayama during winter period?

Thanks you!

Yes, they do.

3) Checked the Nohi Bus website & it only stated bus timetable from "15 Jul to 27 Aug" + "1 Apr to 30 Nov".

Not sure which page you checked when, but when I checked now, the timetable seems available:

Thanks Uji. I mis understood the table. Those dates in red are exceptional timings of the year. So rest of the year is in operation.

Btw, fm Takayama to ropeway, do we need to change bus at Hirayu Onsen stop or is a direct bus just that in between there are many stops ? Thanks you.

They are direct buses.

Great! Thanks you Uji!
