Iwate Prefecture North Bus Operating Bonnet Buses Until March 2025
Iwate Prefecture North Bus has been operating bonnet buses on part of the Matsukawa Onsen Line since December 9.
On this route, it is difficult to operate regular route buses through snowy steep slopes, hence the operation is carried out using four-wheel-drive bonnet buses.
The operational section is from the Appi Kogen Mountain Hotel to Matsukawa Hot Springs bus stop. Those heading to Matsukawa Hot Springs from the Morioka area need to transfer from a regular route bus at the Appi Kogen Mountain Hotel bus stop. The operation period is from mid to late March, with a total of 6 trips, 3 round trips per day.
