BY TRAIN:
coming into Asahikawa from either south, Saporro, or east, Furano, when you leave the station go straight out the doors to the highway,and on your right are bus stops. Wait at the number three stop for your bus. See bus schedule.
MORNING SESSION: (Bus cost is ¥510 per person)
We suggest you catch the 10-10 Route bus leaving at 8:45am and arriving inTakasu at 9:20am or if you miss that one,take the bus leaving at 9:20 am and arriving at 9:52 am.
AFTERNOON SESSION: We suggest the 10-10 route bus leaving at 13:10 pm and arriving in Takasu at 13:32 Or if you miss that one, the bus leaving at 13:25 and arriving at 14:00 pm.
We include the return bus schedule so if you have a train or plane to catch we can take you to the right bus. Taking the later of the busses suggested will not shorten your time with us.
Once you are on your bus, stay on until the end of the line in Takasu. The bus will turn off the road in front of a Municipal building. We will pick you up there, in a van with a dog sledding sign. How will I recognize you? Ninety five percent of the time I do a pick up, our customers are the only ones getting off the bus. How will you know me? Not only will I most likely be the only one standing there, I will be the only Caucasian you have a seen since you got off the train
NOTE. many of our customers come by car, so we only make the 8.5 km. trip to the bus station when we are expecting you and have confirmed that you have caught the bus. Please call us as soon as you know that you have missed the bus we expected you on. We will then meet the next bus and extend our schedule so you still get the full service.
NOTE. Most but not all foreign pocket phones work in Japan. There is a pay phone in the lobby of the building at the end of the bus line in Takasu. If for some reason we are not there to pick you up, because you did not confirm being on the bus or we could not reach your pocket phone or your hotel changed and we could not reach you there, call us and we will pick you up in ten or fifteen minutes.
