Hello! The place we are staying on Koyasan tells us the typhoon in November has disrupted the funicular--has anyone taken the substitute transportation? Where do we pick it up? Osaka Namba to Hashimoto? Any advice is appreciated. We don't go until April 2018-but the temple lodging doubts the repairs will be done by then. Too bad, this was being looked at as a treat. Selfish, but once in a lifetime. Thanks again anyone who can advise us.
