4) Jorudan prompted bus, Meitetsu train and to Shinano train to either Nakatsugawa / Nagiso. But Hyperdia prompted bus to Nagoya and change to Shinano JR Train. Can anyone advise which is better route or Which is a better / manageable connection?

5) Reference to Toyoko Inn in shinjuku. Which is the best way to travel to hotel from Tokyo Station, Shinjuku station and Narita Airport?

Thanks

Thats a gd alternative angle!:)

Anyone can furthere advise on :

1) The estimated taxi fare between Tsumago and Magome?

2) I wil be there either on the 3rd or 4th Nov. As i note that 3rd is festival day in Tsumago and also a public holiday in japan, are the stores open as usual on 3rd & 4th?
It helps to decide whether to make it to Tsumago on the 3rd Nov!

thanks again :))

Assuming you are continuing to Tokyo afterwards, your schedule could look as follows:

day 1:
08:15 arrive in Nagoya
around 10:00 take trains via Nagoya to Nagiso
around 12:30 take a taxi or bus to nearby Tsumago
from around 13:00 see Tsumago and overnight there

But actually i was trying to complete the Tsumago to Magome trail on my arrival day. Thats why Im trying to prepare all the possible alternatives to make it to Nagiso latest by 1221. If i can reach there by then, i shld be able to walk the trail. The worst scenario is to catch a cab from magome back to tsumago.

U think we can achieve than with arrival to Nagoya airport at 815am?

Is there a bus from airport to JR nagoya? Airport customer service emailed and said there is no such servvice and ask us to take the Meitetsu train. I cant recall how long i need to walk fr Meitetsu train to JR nagoya the last time...

Any advice on the best connection route to reach Nagiso latest by 1221pm,,,, the train connection from Nagatsugawa to Nagiso on 4th Nov.

Ya, i hv already booked my lodging in tsumago :))

Im heading to Matsumoto after Kiso valley... not heading to Tokyo untill 17th Nov....
we are travelling around central honshu before heading to tokyo...

thanks for my advice :))

Is Tsumagobashi the bus stop that states as������?

Thanks

I booked through japanese guesthouse.
It is at Y8300 which does not include tax amount. After tax, i think is about Y8700 per person.
