From an open-top bus, you can enjoy a 360-degree view of the dynamic scenery that changes from fresh greenery to lingering snow as the altitude increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-black-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-22359e5dd70489c96922a63558ebc65b\">On the outbound &quot;Shinryoku Letter Service,&quot; everyone will receive &quot;Shinryoku Super Grass,&quot; which makes the colors of the fresh greenery appear even more vivid. At the summit of Shinhotaka Ropeway, you can mail an original postcard with a limited edition stamp. On the return &quot;Iyashi no Yu no Michi Service,&quot; you can also enjoy a relaxing experience immersed in the sounds and scents of nature with an eye mask. With a bus guide from Hoshino Resorts &quot;Kai Oku-Hida&quot; staff, you will experience &quot;BUSVENTURE&quot; that goes beyond just transportation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-title=\"P1001104_l\" data-id=\"12376\" src=\"http:\/\/okuhida.or.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/P1001104_l-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12376\" srcset=\"https:\/\/okuhida.or.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/P1001104_l-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/okuhida.or.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/P1001104_l-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/okuhida.or.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/P1001104_l-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/okuhida.or.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/P1001104_l-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/okuhida.or.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/P1001104_l-2048x1536.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/okuhida.or.jp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/P1001104_l-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-link-color wp-elements-7cc3c83d365470628baa16f50203bbca\">&lt;Operation overview&gt;<br> \u25c6Period: Friday, May 22nd, 2026 - Friday, June 12th, 2026<br> \u25c6Route: Hirayu Bus Terminal \u21d4 Shinhotaka Ropeway (buses depart from Takayama Nohi Bus Center only in the mornings and evenings)<br> \u25c6Fare: From Hirayu: 2,500 yen one way \/ 4,000 yen round trip; from Takayama: 3,500 yen one way \/ 6,000 yen round trip<br> *All seats require reservation and payment in advance.
