Hello. We are planning a trip to Japan for late December and are looking at staying at an Ryokan with an onsen in the Takayama area for 2 nights.
We will not have a car.
Because we will not have a car we were wondering if I should only look in the Hirayu Onsen area. Taking a look around there seems to be some really nice options further up the road toward the Ropeway. It looks like there is a bus hourly which seems like it should be fine. We are really only interested in going to the ropeway that day, and plan to spend the rest of the time playing in the snow and at the onsen.
Am I missing anything? I think the bus runs hourly in winter based on other posts. Are there any cabs or shuttles in the area?
Thanks in advance!
