Bus from Kofu Station to Kanazakura Shrine? 2019/9/27 19:28
Does anybody know if there is a bus from Kofu Station to Kanazakura Shrine? Various websites suggest that there's a local bus, but google translate unfortunately can't cope with the Yamanashi bus website! Thank you.

Do you mean this website?

I tried to "translate with google translate" but google translate returns no result.

So I will try to answer.

I hope you can see Japanese character. Kofu station is "b•{‰wƒoƒXƒ^[ƒ~ƒiƒ‹". The bus departs at 7:30, 9:15, 9:45, 10:25, etc. and takes about 45-50 min to Έε‹¬‘κγ (Shosenkyo Takiue), which is the closest bus stop to Kanazakura shrine. From Shosenkyo Takiue, you must walk 2.4 km to the shrine.

Thank you! I had the same problem with google translate returning a blank page, when I knew that there was information on the original Japanese site. I think the walk will be fine if it's a nice day. :) Thanks again.

The Shosenkyo-takiue (or Shosenkyo-takinoue on google map) Bus Stop is right in front of the Shosenkyo-kageenomori Museum

If you donft want to walk 2.4 km to Kanazakura Shrine (final approach is uphill) you can take a short 5 min taxi ride.

I found this service when I looked the map William5 posted.

This is the shuttle bus service around the Shosenkyo area. You can buy ticket(s) at several shops/restaurants in Shosenkyo, and then call for the service. One ride is 300 yen/person and 4 tickets are 1000 yen. I think you can ask for the telephone call at the shops/restaurants.
