I first thought that there was an error after sending the first comment.<br /><br />Well, this year it won't happen, but I hope we can get there maybe next year. It's definitely on my To-Do list, so it's only a question of when. :)<br /><br />I read about the bus, but the last 10km are the main problem.

Ye...haf,<br /><br />Thanks for visiting and for the comment.<br /><br />Yes, unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately?)Shizen-ko is quite remote and therefore only accessible by car. <br /><br />There is a bus from Kiso-fukushima station that can get you to Otaki, but Shizen-ko is another 10 kilometers away.<br /><br />I hope you might be able to find a way out there sometime.<br /><br />Cheers,<br /><Taintushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12700101879034654343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307422765401467501.post-17072354896563906062009-08-11T10:29:46.811-10:002009-08-11T10:29:46.811-10:00After reading the post, I'd like to go there w...After reading the post, I'd like to go there with my girlfriend. But a quick look at the ontake daventures website showed me that we'd need to use a car to get there, which is not possible for us. Too bad, I really would have liked to do a kayak tour there.hafhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14568387742078431282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8307422765401467501.post-65768695069608978892009-08-11T10:28:13.876-10:002009-08-11T10:28:13.876-10:00I'd like to go there with my girlfriend, but a...I'd like to go there with my girlfriend, but a quick look at the ontake website showed me that we'd need to use a car to get there, which is no option for us, we could only use public transportation.
