According to the JNTO there is bus from Yasumiya to Hachmantai platau(2h45m). From there another bus to Goshogake Onsen (25m) and from there to Tazawako(1h45m). Can anybody tell me the schedule of these buses?

You really helped a lot, thank you very much

Pls reconfirm if Yasumiya - Hachimantai route is available. The 1st website I show you does say they are available in 2008, while the official Shuhoku Bus website says nothing about it.

I have driven his National Route 341 last year, and it was amazing! I was surprised to see what a rural area like this still remains in Japan. I had a really wonderfull experience. (^o^)/

Hope you enjoy it!

I have driven this National Route 341 last year, and it was amazing! I was surprised to see what a rural area like this still remains in Japan. Your bus will run through SEVERAL volcanic mountains!! I had a really wonderfull experience. (^o^)/

Hope you enjoy it!

Thank you

I wrote to JNTO, but maybe you have an idea where to reconfirm?Maybe an e-mail to the bus company?

William, unfortunately this e-mail is JNTO Toronto and they don't know the answer. They advised me to ask in tel when I get there.

Maybe somebody can reconfirm the schedule of the bus?

see whether you can get any answer here:

I found the email address of Shuhoku Bus company. and most Japanese must understand "written" easy English.

They also provide an excellent map of Northen Tohoku Region :)
