Is it possible to take the bus from Tokyo to Shinano-Omachi? and from Toyama to Tokyo?
Since I do not plan to buy JR rail pass? so I would like to know is there any cheaper way to get to those place instead of taking train?
Please kindly suggest
By the way, the train cost between Tokyo to Shinano-Omachi is around 7500 YEN, and from Toyama to Tokyo costs 11,500 YEN. So is it worth to buy JR East rail pass 4 day* that cost 20000 YEN?
You comment will be very much appreciated.

Toyama Station -- Ikebukuro Station 6:00hrs - 12:25 10:30 - 16:55 15:30 - 21:55 22:50 - 5:15(+1) http://www.chitetsu.co.jp/bus_b/tokyo.htmlBy the way, the train cost between Tokyo to Shinano-Omachi is around 7500 YEN, and from Toyama to Tokyo costs 11,500 YEN.

I have more questions to ask..
As checked with buy time table from the way.
I plan to leave Tokyo Shinjuku at 8 Am then arrive at Shinnano Omashi arond noon..
Then I will travel through the Alpe Route from 13.00 Pm ...Which I am not sure how long it will take me to get to Toyama St. Then I try to get the night bus from Toyama back and arrive Tokyo the next morning? (+ 1 day)
Is that possible or Ok to go with that plan?
Do you think haft day for Alpe route would be enough (with no rush)?
Any comment is welcome Thank you
