Travel from Kyoto to Toyama

Hi,

i would like to ask what is the best way to travel from Kyoto to Toyama.
i plan to visit Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route on 30 April 2014 which i have to arrive Tateyama station by around 11 am for the last round of cable car.
but it seems like the earliest train from Kyoto couldn't make it on time. and staying the night before is not quite convenient.
is there any other option provided? ex. night ride bus?

thank you
savita

If you are able to ride the train to Kyoto Station 6:29 departure, then transfer at Kanazawa Station and Toyama Station, and I seem to be able to arrive at 11:10 in the Tateyama Station.

The night bus departure from Kyoto Station Toyama bound in the night of April 29, seat is full as far as I was confirmed.

I am also planning to visit this place after GW. Do you know which bus going to Toyama, and where can I buy the bus ticket from Kyoto to Toyama?? Thx.

High-speed bus to go to Toyama from Kyoto has been operating four daily.

However, only late-night bus of them to stop at Kyoto Station. The other times, it is necessary towards the Kyoto Fukakusa bus stop is located in the suburbs of Kyoto. In order to go to the bus stop from Kyoto Station, and you go to Takeda Station 6 minutes ride the subway, it takes a 15-minute walk from there.

It is not possible to buy a ticket when boarding the bus, it is necessary reservations. Way of reservation available to you may be either telephone, Internet, convenience stores, sales offices.

If you buy in the sales office, it does not in Kyoto. if you're going to go to Osaka, you'll be able to before you go to Kyoto, buy it in Osaka.

hi,i want to ask is there any bus from alpine route to tokyo..and how to buy a bus ticket? tq before

@mar

In order for you to return to Tokyo aboard the high-speed bus, you need to ride it from Shinanoomachi Station.

I know that the web site for the reservation of the bus is operating in Japanese. The guide of it in English is incomplete. You If possible, it is recommended that you go by train to Tokyo from Shinanoomachi.
