bus from kikonai station to Matsumae Castle

Hi, I want to know about bus from kikonai station to Matsumae Castle. This bus has to reserve before travel or not ? If yes, Can you give me the contact (web or telephone).

Thank you.


From Japan-guide.com....
These days, Matsumae is reached by bus from Kikonai Station (95 minutes, 1370 yen one way, 7 buses/day, not covered by the Japan Rail Pass). Kikonai is served by the limited express trains that connect Aomori with Hakodate (40 minutes, about 1500 yen from Hakodate). Alternatively, there are three direct buses per day between Hakodate Station and Matsumae. The one way trip takes about 3.5 hours and costs 2150 yen. The most central bus stop in Matsumae is Matsushiro (松代), a short walk from the castle.
