We will stay a couple of days in Matsumoto. We really like to visit Utsukushigahara Highlands by bus (we don't hire a car). Unfortunately the bus to Utsukushigahara Highlands only operates in the summer. Is there an alternative transportation?

Will this be in the winter? That is on top of a mountain peak and Nagano gets a LOT of snow in the winter. Even If you find transportation, you had better bring snow shoes.

Hi thank you for your reply. We will be in Matsumoto in the begin of June (from now it is about over 2 weeks). I think the snow is beginning to melt in Utsukushigahara Highlands? I think the only way to get to Utsukushigahara Highlands is by taxi?

Note that the shuttle bus is for their guest. The fare for one night per person including 2 meals is 15,300 yen. One way taxi fare should be 13,000 yen from Matsumoto but I am afraid there are no taxi waiting at Utsukushigahara so if you call taxi you might have to pay additional fee. You may be able to contact with them through their Facebook page. https://goo.gl/9aio2i
