- The Ride
Japan is covered by a dense network of daytime and overnight highway bus lines. Every prefecture and larger city is served by at least one bus company, operating lines into other parts of the country. On a few popular routes, especially routes to/from Tokyo, numerous companies are competing against each other, while on other routes they are often c...
There exist dozens of highway bus companies in Japan, including the former state-run JR Bus companies, many regional bus companies and discount bus operators. Many of these bus operators do not maintain an English website and are difficult to use by foreign tourists. Below are some of the bus companies and services which are easy to use by foreigne...
Regular tickets
Depending on the route and company, different ticketing systems are in effect. An increasing number of companies, especially low-cost companies, use dynamic pricing, i.e. the fare depends on the date of travel, with higher rates on busy days(e.g. weekends and holiday seasons). On some routes it is also possible to get discounted fares for purchasing tickets online (as opposed to purchasing them at the ticket counter) or for purchasing tickets far in advance, for example more than 7 or 21 days...
How to buy bus tickets
Bus tickets can usually be purchased at major bus terminals, at convenience stores (using a terminal with instructions in Japanese), through travel agents, by phone or online (usually in Japanese only). The websites by Willer Express and Japan Bus Online allow for online reservations in English, while tickets for some (but not all) JR highway bus lines can also be purchased at ticket counters of JRstations across Japan.
Seat reservations
Many long distance buses, especially overnight buses, require advance seat reservations. It is recommended to make reservation early for popular routes and during busy travel seasons. However, if the bus is not booked out, it is usually possible to purchase a ticket just prior to departure at the bus terminal. On some shorter bus lines, seat reservations are not possible.
Boarding locations
Conventional bus companies tend to use the major bus terminals which are usually located in front of the large railway stations or in the city centers. In case of Tokyo and Osaka, there are multiple major bus terminals spread across the cities. Make sure you know which bus terminal is served by your bus. Discount buses often do not use major bus terminals, but stop at less easily found bus stops near a bus terminal or railway station. These locations can be slightly challenging to find, so ma...
Seating
Overnight buses are typically equipped with comfortable, reclining seats, which are arranged in rows of three seats and one or two aisles. On cheap overnight buses and most daytime buses, standard buses with four seats per row are in common use. At the other end of the spectrum, premium buses with seats, that resemble business class seats on airplanes, have been introduced on the most competitive routes, especially the Tokyo-Osaka route. Premium seats naturally come at an increased cost, but...
Amenities
Most buses come with a toilet on board and/or make regular toilet stops along the way. Smoking is not permitted on highway buses. On some buses, personal entertainment systems, wireless internetand electrical outlets make for a more comfortable ride.
