盛岡バスセンター　Morioka Bus Center(not JR Morioka station)

盛岡駅前東口　　　JR Morioka station East exit

東八幡平交通センター　Higashi Hachimantai Traffic center

八幡平頂上　　　　Hachimantai Summit

八幡平蓬莱境　　　Hachimantai Horaikyo

Read the timetable carefully.

So accordingly, Your bus going to Hachimantai from Morioka station East exit for example must be departured at 9:47am, 10:47am(bus transfer at Higashi Hachimantai Traffic center) and 0:12pm(same transfer necessary as former)

Then you will be Hachimantai summit on 11:37am, 1:10pm and 2:20pm respectively.

Your returning bus would be departured at the summit on 0:30pm, 2:30pm and 3:15pm that means 3up and 3down respectively too.

The all returning must be transfered at Higashi Hachimantai Traffic center to Morioka station.  It is said it costs Yen1320 one way per adult.
