Save Time & Money by Night Bus in Japan

Yo ho it’s Mr. Wada back on duty. Ho ho. I will share some tips for night bus in Japan this time.


Benefit of using Night Bus in Japan

Night bus has always been popular transportation for long distance since it costs half of flights and bullet trains. For semi-backpackers like us, The Wadas, night bus is always the first option when planning for trips. If you are one of our kind, you may wonder if Seishun 18 tickets would be a better deal.

How to use Seishun 18 Ticket: Save Up Wisely in Japan

 

Over all, we’ve figured that the Seishun 18 ticket is beneficial for a day trip most of times and night bus is more useful for long trips.

Sure a single use of Seishun 18 ticket costs just 2,500-ish. However, for instance, Okayama City to Tokyo would take all day by regular trains which would add up a stay-over. Consider accommodation fee. On the contrary, night bus saves you time and money over all (stay over on the bus).  One negative thing about night bus is though I have difficulty of sleeping. (=_=)

It’s gotten a lot more comfortable than before.

 

FYI,  for traveling to Tokyo, now there’s a huge bus terminal called Basta in Shinjuku. We no longer need to get lost in the concrete jungle. It’s right beside the JR Shinjuku Station.

Recommended Night Bus

Night buses get busy during the holidays. In general seats go on sale BEFORE A MONTH and it gets sold out in a few hours sometimes. Better be early.

    Hm. The idea is good, but I wouldn’t be able to get any sleep. I’ve taken local trains and shinkansen. Certainly I like the shinkansen. The announcer’s British/Austtalian accent is interesting. If visitors to Japan plan on staying a while, certainly the JR Pass is a great idea.
