Getting to and from Hoshi Onsen Chojukan 2024/10/1 22:08
I would like to ask about recent schedules and prices of buses and taxis going to and from Hoshi Onsen Chojukan from Jomo Kogen Station. There is a post from 2015 but iit’s almost 10 years ago so asking again. The ways to get there seem to be:

(A) BUSES. Does anyone know how much it is from:
(1) jomo kogen station to sarugakyo bus stop,
(2) sarugakyo bus stop to hoshi onsen bus stop,
(3) hoshi onsen bus stop to sarugakyo bus stop,
(4) sarugakyo bus stop go jomo kogen station
Is it any specific bus numbers or types to flag down? Dont want to get on the wrong bus!! I’m assuming same price back and forth but what about the schedules?


(B) TAXI. Can anyone give a fare estimate for
(1) jomo kogen station to hoshi onsen chojusan
(2) hoshi onsen chojusan to jomo kogen bus station

Would really appreciate help. Google isn’t giving me the answers this time around

It takes about 30 minutes from the Jomo-Kogen(上毛高原) bus stop to the Sarugakyo(猿ヶ京) bus stop.

I've checked a taxi site and it says it costs around 11,300 yen (about 50 minutes) one way if you use a regular size car.
It will be more expensive in traffic jams and on snowy days as I think it will take longer.
If you call a taxi (I think there are taxis in Jomo-Kogen station but probably not in the ryokan), the fare from where the taxi is to the ryokan will also be added.

The timetable I linked for the bus from Jomo-Kogen station to Sarugakyo was wrong.
The timetable changed in June 2024.
Please check the operation timetable(運行時刻表) on this page.

Or you can also check the timetable on the Chojukan website.
