Charms of Amanohashidate
If you are going to Amanohashidate from Umeda, Osaka or Kyoto, we recommend that you take a highway bus, which does not require a transfer. You can take the highway bus of “Tango Kairiku Koutsu”, which offers a direct connection. Highway buses have reserved seats, so please purchase a ticket in advance.
