Takayama day trip to Mt-Hodaka

Hi,
Will be in Takayama Sat 10th Nov wish to do a day trip to Mt Hodaka. Anyone have been there before to give some advise.I need to know bus transportation to go there and especially on a Sunday.Will I be able to have time to visit Okuhida Spa and to do the ropeway in half aday or full day.

I have not been there myself.

From April to November, there are about a dozen bus round trips per day between Takayama and the Shin-Hotaka Ropway bas station. The one way trip takes about 90 minutes and costs 2100 Yen.

If you start the day early and don't spend too much time on the mountain, it looks like you will be able to also visit a hot spring in the same day relatively easily.

I imagine that on busy days, e.g. weekends during the autumn leaf season, you will have to expect waiting times for riding the ropeway.

Thanks for answering

Found this page on the website of Shin Hotaka Cable Car.

Looks like some value-saving package but I can't read Japanese. Can someone help?

From the little that I can gather, looks like it includes (1) bus trip from Takayama to Shin Hotaka
(2) cable car 2-way
(3) day use onsen

Am I correct? Also is the bus trip two way or one way?

Thanks!
