How to get in Chuo Alps
Komagane, quiet city of about 30,000 inhabitants, is the number one starting place for Chuo Alps hikes. It features frequent connections to Tokyo with a highway bus and resides also on the JR Iida line, if you wish to take a train.
The ropeway from Shirabidaira (altitude 1,662m) to Sensojiki (2,612m) can take almost one kilometer of altitude out of your hike! One-way ricket costs �1180 and a return ticket �2200. The buses from Komagane to Shirabidaira run every half hour until 5pm.
Note that the road up from Komagane-kogen to Shirabidaira is permitted only for buses.
There are also various other options for starting your hike. For example, you could approach the mountain range from west. There's a hiking trail starting directly from Kuramoto station and it continues west directly up to Utsugidake. The hike from the station up to Kisodono hut is a long one, but doable in one day, if you start early.
