transport between Towadako and Shingo

We are planning to visit Towada Lake and Shingo District in December

Is there any public transportation between Yasumiya- Towada Lake and Shingo District ?

Is it possible to get a taxi between Yasumiya-Towada Lake and Shingo District? How long would it take? What's the distance?

Thank you

taxi only about 35km around 9000Y 60min.

car hitch(also in Hotel) or rent a car best.

Thank you very much for your answer

I would like to know if it's easy to get a taxi there.
Also, what is a car hitch?

1)

maybe not difficult but not always waiting.
if no ask near shop staff or lake ferry counter.

2)

oops! means just "hitch hike" like this.
