While the train network is fully bilingual, bus timetables and signs tend to be in Japanese only, so ask a Japanese reader to check the schedule before you go, and carry the name of your destination written in Japanese. Taxis tend to be about five times the cost of buses, but groups of three or four may find it worthwhile to splurge. Call ahead or refer to the informative bilingual Web site for bus times and the museum schedule. From Matsumoto Station, the bus terminal is across from the main entrance in the basement of the Espa building. Take a bus bound for the museum, about 90 minutes.
Buses are few in number, so confirm times and leave enough time to transfer.
