This bus provides options for those headed northbound (Hongu to Koyasan) on the Kumano Kodo Kohechi route, especially when accommodation in Miura-guchi is unavailable. Miura-guchi is a small settlement with very limited capacity for people to stay overnight. The lodgings fill up quickly, especially in spring and fall. So Totsukawa Village offers a seasonal shuttle bus between Totsukawa Onsen and Miura-guchi for northbound Kohechi hikers.  Using this shuttle walkers can spend two nights in Totsukawa Onsen and still do the full Kohechi without staying in Miura-guchi.  This is a Morning bus from Totsukawa to Miura-guchi.
