Is it possible to return to Tokyo directly from Mt. Aino or would I need to backtrack to Kita-dake?

I originally wanted to attempt the Shirane-sanzan before before my visa expires on the 14th of July, but it seems that the bus to/from Shiomi-dake only runs from the 13th of July, and I do not want to cut things so close.

I am now deciding between climbing just Kita-dake or both Kita-dake and Aino-dake. Is it possible to return to Tokyo directly from Mt Aino or would I need to backtrack to Kita-dake?

Does the view differ much between the two mountains?

Thanks.
