Hi,
I have bought a round ticket from Shinjuku to Takayama (10Oct) and Takayama to Shinjuku (13Oct). I will be staying at Fukuji Onsen on 12-13Oct. Can I board the bus from Hirayu Onsen instead of travelling back to Takayama and take the bus from Takayama as the Nohi bus will stop at Hirayu Onsen on its way to Shinjuku? If yes, how do I change my return ticket to show that? Thanks for your assistance.

Hi there,

You should be able to take the bus from Hirayu Onsen instead. However, it was better to tell the clerk at the ticket office in Shinjuku that you will be getting on the bus from Hirayu Onsen when you bought the ticket, so that the seat will not be taken by someone else for sure. Since the bus running between Shinjuku and Takayama has been very popular, if no one show up for reserved seat, there are cases where the seat is passed to someone else who wants to get the seat on the day.
To be safe, you might want to call Nohi Bus in advance and tell that you are getting on the bus from Hirayu Onsen.
Please find the phone number in the following link.

Have a nice trip!
