Getting to Katsuoji early

Checking if there are any public transport tips to get to Katsuoji temple early?

I’m going on a week day in June and the temple opens at 9 but from the timetables I can see online the first bus from the station starts at 10 am. Does this sound right?

If the only other option is a taxi from the station does anyone know how much approximately in Yen that is?

I’m an early riser and prefer to get set off early
