Ebino Kogen by taxi and some more questions

I would really like to go to Ebino Kogen in the beginning of June for a 2-day hike, but I am disappointed by the lack of frequent public transportation.
The ideal plan would be to arrive to Ebino Kogen in the morning of the first day, hike to Karakuni-Dake and return to Ebino Kogen to sleep. Then second day with bus (or on foot via the open vehicle road) to Takachiko-gawara, hike via Takachiko-no-mine to Haraigawa and then by bus to Takaharu JR station.
Regarding reaching Ebino Kogen. I have been trying to use the very useful information posted in another topic with date 21/2/2024, but if I understand correctly it seems that I cannot arrive to Ebino Kogen before 12:56 pm if I take the combination of the bus from Kirishima to Maruo (10:43-11:08) and then Maruo to Ebino Kogen (12:30-12:56). Also, if I understand correctly the Kirishima bus does not operate during the weekend? (I would like to begin on a Sunday). If I take the bus from Kagoshima airport the earliest on a Sunday seems to arrive to Maruo at 13:24, if I understand correctly, which is too late to catch a bus to Ebino Kogen.
I also prefer to avoid renting a car for many reasons, one reason being that I would prefer to end up at Haraigawa rather than returning to Ebino Kogen.
So I was wondering if it is possible to get a taxi from Ebino city (which would be convenient, as it seems that I can get there by bus from Kumamoto) or from Kirishima train station? If yes, any idea how much this would cost? And would I need to book in advance? Does one also need to pay the return fare for the driver to return to Ebino city?
Also, I assume that hitchhiking may not be a reliable option in Japan? Would people stop to pick up two people?
Regarding the second day. It seems that the 9 am bus from Ebino Kogen does not go to Takachiko-gawara anymore? So I would need to get down at the entrance of Shinyu-Onsen and go to Takachiko-gawara on foot?
One more question, is there a link to the bus schedule from Haraigawa to the Takaharu JR train station? Does this bus still exist?
Thank you and sorry for the long e-mail.
