HONOKI

Private lesson

A private lesson for 1–6 guests. Up to 3 guests per instructor; groups of 4–6 are taught by two instructors and submitted as one request.

Getting here by bus — morning lessons

Please take the 7:40 AM bus from Takayama Nohi Bus Center and get off at H32 Honokidaira at 8:23 AM.

You will need time to collect your rental equipment and get changed before your lesson.
The bus arriving at 9:23 AM does not leave enough time for these preparations, even if you reach reception by 9:30 AM.

Bus schedules may change, and snow or traffic may cause delays.
