Transportation to TOGA
To first-time visitors
- There are only two public city buses per day running to Toga from Etchu-Yatsuo St./Inami St.Therefore, we recommend taking the charter buses that are scheduled in conjunction with the performances.
- There are relatively few accommodations in Toga, so make your reservation early.
- There are no convenience stores or shops. Food and merchandise can be purchased at the Gurume-kan (food court)
- There are no ATMs in the village, so we suggest you bring a fair amount of cash with you. Only the souvenir shop in Gurume-kan accepts credit cards.
- There are many insects during the summer. We suggest that you bring insect repellent and proper attire for protection.
- Temperature can drop below 10 degrees Celsius in the morning and evenings. Be sure to bring warm clothes with you.
