Written in red: weekdays only.

As you see, Konan bus tells it will take about 1 hour.

Thank you so much

It's one of the best Inari shrines in Japan, but you're talking about a 4 hour round trip. I hope you have other places you can also see, like Hirosaki. Renting a car is much quicker and more convenient if you're up for it.

Thank you so much, Ken

Yes, we are spending a day trip to Hirosaki.

We will be staying near to Shin-Aomori Station for 3 days 2 night and our mode of transport is basically taking JR Trains.

We will also be spending a full day trip to Takayama Inari Shrine. Our only concern is the bus ride from Takayama Jinja iriguchi to Goshogawara as we need to catch our train back to Aomori. The bus time-table for Goshogawara to the Shrine were in Japanese.

Do you think Hachinohe is easily accessible if we do not drive around?

Yes, I went there by train, and walked over to see Yabushima Shrine and the Nakasuka Coast. Though trains are infrequent by the coast and you really should know the schedules beforehand.

If you still plan to go to Takayama Jinja, below is the translated timetabale for Shin-Aomori - Goshogawara -Takayama Jinja Iriguchi and vice versa.

Thank you so much. This is very informative.

We are going on 3 May 2024 and I tried to check on the first departure bus from Goshogawara and last departure bus from Takayama Shrine but the system is not loading.

Hello,
We will go tomorrow (4th May 2024) and also from Aomori.

Could you share us your experience on how you get there and Time/money needed. We also have the JR pass.

Thank you very much.
Jeremy.
