The Haruyama Bus recently underwent a successful trial run, and its operation for this year has now been officially confirmed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The snow walls reached over 5 meters in height.
Although this winter saw less snow than usual, you can still enjoy the spectacular spring scenery of Norikura this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From April 27th to May 31st, the service will run between Norikura Kogen Tourist Center and Igahara Sanso (altitude 2350m).
*From June onwards, the section will be extended to the Daisekkei\/Kata-no-Koya entrance (elevation 2614m).
Furthermore, the entire route to the summit of Mt. Norikura (Tatami-daira) (2700m above sea level) is scheduled to open from July onwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From the tourist center, where spring buds are just beginning to appear, it's about a 40-minute bus ride to a world of snow.
The elevation difference between this location and the tourist center is approximately 800m, and the temperature difference is approximately 5\u2103.
When strolling around, don't forget to bring warm clothing such as a jacket and gloves to protect yourself from the cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please note that this year, the fare is the same regardless of whether you board at the Tourist Center or Sanbon-taki Falls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On weekends and holidays, the Sanbon-taki parking lot can get full, so we recommend boarding from the tourist center.
*Due to the lack of snow on the tour route to Sanbon Falls, it is not possible to descend to the Sanbon Falls parking lot by ski or snowboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since there are only three departures per day, we recommend booking early.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please take advantage of our spring mountain bus service, which offers a variety of activities such as spring skiing, climbing Mt. Norikura, and strolling through snow corridors!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
