Bus seems to be NOT running for 2020, so I'm parking this hike.
Budget: JPY (~USD)
When to Go
Not in 2020 unless you have a car, in which case I'd say May to October (or just avoid winter months, as northern Japan sees a LOT of snow)

Special Notes
Take this with a grain of salt, as another website says buses are NOT running for 2020. I personally would call them first (0198-41-3124)
- Weather forecast: English / Japanese
- Updated status on trails etc is in the guide from the government here.
- Trailheads. Quite a bit, so let's list them.
- Kawaranobou (河原坊). From 新花巻駅, but there's a big "X" in the map saying this is not passable from May 2016 due to some... landslide or something?
- Odagoe (小田越). Google maps pin. From 新花巻駅. Ascent: 2.5 hours, 2.5kms, elev change of ▲673m/ ▽3m. For 2020, there is no bus running based on the city's website. For the most updated info, google 早池峰山 シャトルバス.
- Kadoma (門馬). Bus schedule.
- 早池峰山 岳登山口. From 新花巻駅. Ascent: 8 hours, 9kms, elev change of ▲1,589m/ ▽177m.
