Need some advice...I will be hiking one day in Nyuto Onsen area - Akita Koma-ga-dake and I have been studying my Lonely Planet guide. Here's my first question: we'll be staying in Nyuto at an onsen and I'd like to take a bus and pick up the trail somewhere along the route, not from Amida-ike Hinan-goya...the hike from there to Nyuto will be around 7 hours and I'm afraid we'll be too jet lagged do it all. Where would you suggest we begin? Will the bus drop us off there? Many thanks if you can help,
Christine
