The Nozawa Liner leaves Iiyama Station 8 or 9 minutes after the arrival of the Shinkansen trains from Tokyo (except for the last train of the day, if you are on this train note you will need to take a taxi to Nozawa Onsen). It is a very comfortable bus with storage space for luggage below. Reservations are not needed. If a a bus fills up they have another ready. If you check out the photos and videos below it will be a breeze – and remember trains and buses leave on time in Japan!
Fare is 600 yen for adults and 300 yen for kids and you pay when you get on the bus. The bus schedule for each season is available in mid-Deceber and changes again at the end of March. We will update the Nozawa Liner If you would like to take a taxi for convenience, a regular taxi is about 5,000 yen and a jumbo taxi is a bit more. See the video below for a guide for which exit to use for the Nozawa Liner Bus from the station.
