Is it worth waiting for 2027 when the JR Rikuu-to Line reopens next year before going? Was thinking of going this year and relying on the replacement bus service.

Thank you!
There's no guarantee the train will be reopen in 2027, that's just what they're aiming for afaik. If you'd be going this fall it's still easy enough to access via train and bus. If you're coming from the east you could even just walk (albeit a decent distance) from the train station if you wanted, it's not like the entire line is closed, the station before the gorge is open.
