I will be in Aomori in end October and intend to visit Osore-zan on a day trip. Is this feasible ? If so, what are the train and bus timetables ? How much time should I allocate in Osore-zan ? Which day of the week is best for a visit there ?
Alternatively, is there a guided bus day tour from Aomori to Osore-zan and other sights along the way ?
Thanks.

Yes, Osorezan is doable as a day trip from Aomori, or even from Sendai. There isn't a lot to do so you don't need to allocate a full day to it, only a couple hours. The bus timetable is here http://www.0175.co.jp/s/s-bus/oyama.htmlbut check again later because it's not clear whether it will change this year or not. The bus with a —Õ mark is synchronised with the Resort Asunaro Shimokita train, so it runs only on the days on which this train runs. http://www.jreast.co.jp/railway/joyful/asunaro.html(Note that seat reservation is mandatory on this train, if you want to take it.) No day of the week is better than others, but you should go on a sunny day for the best autumn colours.

Bear in mind there is a festival? at Osore-san in October where mediums give readings for people wishing to speak to relatives who have passed on.
I think the time for this year, 2015, starts on October the 9th until the 14th? We are planning a trip and intend to visit before or after that time. You might want to visit at that time to experience this.. Each to his own.:)

Thank you all. It is now nearer to the time and I think the bus/train timetables for late October are both out.
I was thinking of visiting Osore-san on a day trip from Aomori city either on 24 (Sat) or 25 (Sun) October.
Please correct me if I am wrong, it seems the JR Resort Asunaro Shimokita train does not run on those days ?
If the train does not run, I reckon I have to catch the normal train and arrive into JR Shimokita station at 11.03am. Will I have sufficient time to catch the 11.10am bus to Osore-zan ? (7 mins connection time - assuming the train is not delayed of course !)
How many hours do you reckon one to spend at Osore-zan ?
Thinking if I should catch the 1pm or 3.50pm bus from Osore-zan back to JR Shimokita station.
Are there public onsen/bathhouses at Osore-zan ?
Thanks in advance.
