By Bus

Your bus will pass us by just before it goes under the railbridge at Matsumoto station. Look left and we are across the river in front of a big orange store, ABC.
The bus will then go to the other side of the train station to drop you at Matsumoto Bus Terminal. Your options are to come directly with lots of turns and steps or just go through Matsumoto station’s concourse and out the Alps West Guchi Exit to follow the easy directions above.

Buses arrive in Matsumoto daily from Tokyo/ Takayama/ Nagoya/ Kyoto/ Osaka. Examples of bus companies are Alpico Express, (from Tokyo Shinjuku/ Kyoto), or Nohi Bus (from Takayama/ Hirayu Onsen).

By Train

Matsumoto is well connected to other Japanese cities with three JR lines meeting here. A perfect base for JR Rail Pass users. A complete overview of how to get to Matsumoto can also be found here.
