Hi, I hope it's okay if I ask for some confirmation about transportation - specifically on bus ticket reservation from Shirakawago to Takayama.

Just a bit of context: my trip is going to be Tokyo -> Kanazawa -> Shirakawago -> Takayama -> Tokyo.

So far, I've managed to book bus tickets online to get me from Kanazawa to Shirakawago. The website that I've booked from is https://japanbusonline.com/.

However, I've been looking for bus tickets that get me from Shirakawago to Takayama, and I can't seem to find this route option for online booking. I was wondering if this option memang is not available for reservation?

From what I've read online, I believe it should also be possible to get bus tickets on the day itself (probably just need to get to the counter early to buy the tickets?), but I would be more comfortable being able to make reservations.

Thanks for the reply. I take it that you bought the bus ticket in Shirakawago on the day itself? Seishun 18 doesn't include the bus, right?
