Public Bus.
Since public busses run in a schedule for local residents, it sometimes does not suit the tourists needs.
- Public bus stops near Namahage museum and Mt.Kanpu are both more than 30min walk away, we recommend tourists to use the Namahage shuttle bus.
- Using public bus from Oga Onsen Village to Oga Aquarium will require you to stay at the aquarium for 5 hours, thus we also recommend tourists to use the Namahage shuttle bus.
