Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: I plan to take a bus from Shinano Omachi Station to Omachi Onsenkyo and stay there for one night. Can I use the ticket I bought at Shinano Omachi Station for the bus to Ogizawa to board the bus from Shinano Omachi Station to Omachi Onsenkyo, and then the bus from Omachi Onsenkyo to Ogizawa?
