However, in October, Japan Railways announced a significant increase in the price (almost doubling) of the Japan Rail Pass and single tickets, so those who want to save money and travel on a budget may be considering using the bus.<\/p>\n<p>Night buses are one of Japan\u2019s best options for traveling long distances. If you are traveling to Japan only for a few days, you want to spend almost one day or half a day moving from one city to another. For example, from Tokyo to Osaka, one of the most popular trips takes around 8-9 hours. If you use a night bus, you travel during the night hours and arrive at your destination first thing in the morning, giving you the whole day to explore the city. Overnight buses in Japan are usually large, comfortable, and safe, so it\u2019s easy to sleep on them \u2013 and you save a night in a hotel! It\u2019s all advantages.<\/p>\n<p>If you are planning a trip to Japan and would like to use long-distance night buses, this article will explain how to do so.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h6d29a4c47e\">Where to Get into the Night Bus in Japan<\/h3>\n<p>There are two ways to buy night bus tickets in Japan. The first is to go directly to the ticket counter at the major stations, where there is a ticket booth. However, if the routes are popular or on special dates such as Golden Week or Obon, it is quite likely that tickets are sold out months in advance.<\/p>\n<p>Today, the Internet is Japan\u2019s fastest and easiest way to buy night bus tickets. Opting for online ticket purchases simplifies the process by letting you buy from anywhere without leaving your house. Once you complete your purchase, the tickets are sent to your email, so you don\u2019t have to worry about losing them. Just remember to stay connected to the Internet to access them whenever you need to.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"ha5e8791a8d\">Japan Bus Tickets<\/h3>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.microcms-assets.io\/assets\/0c5037dfa14c4dbaa278a3612dc24fab\/86cc018da737449b9fe6a9c267cca4a6\/Japan-Bus-Ticket-1536x824.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1536\" height=\"824\" \/><\/figure>\n<p>Japan Bus Tickets is a new service launched by our partner company. It offers highway bus tickets in Japan for tourists and foreigners who don\u2019t speak Japanese. All the service, including customer service, is in English (and seven other languages). They accept payments with all major credit cards, and the process is straightforward, especially compared to Japanese websites.<\/p>\n<p>After your purchase, you will have all the details and information of your booking in the \u201cMy Booking\u201d area. Then, on the day of departure, you just have to go to the indicated place time in advance, look for your bus, get in line, and tell the staff your full name before getting on, and you are ready to go.

Still,\u00a0some of them also depart from Ikebukuro or even Tokyo Disneyland.<\/p>\n<p><strong>-Busta Shinjuku (\u30d0\u30b9\u30bf\u65b0\u5bbf)<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Map:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3GkgYBp\"><u>https:\/\/bit.ly\/3GkgYBp<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Access: JR Shinjuku Station South Exit<\/p>\n<p>Official Website:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/shinjuku-busterminal.co.jp\/en\/\"><u>http:\/\/shinjuku-busterminal.co.jp\/en\/<\/u><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"hd0f8ceefe1\"><strong>What is a Night Bus in Japan like<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>As I said at the beginning, night buses in Japan are generally of good quality and service. The seats are slightly wide (at least for someone like me, who is 1.60 meters tall) and comfortable. They are equipped with toilets, which are usually exceptionally clean. Still, they also make several stops at different service areas along the way, so you can also go to the bathroom there. In addition, most of them are equipped with USB ports\/outlets, so you can also charge your mobile phone while traveling.<\/p>\n<p>I traveled by night bus some years ago; I used highway night buses several times in my student days. The bus I chose had seats equipped with a hood\/canopy that allowed me to keep my privacy (and dim the light) while sleeping, so thanks to that, I could sleep better. The seats also have a height-adjustable partition, blanket, cushion, a smartphone holder inside the canopy, leg rest, and footrest.<\/p>\n<p>The first time, I took a night bus that left Shinjuku at night (around 23-24:00) and stopped at Universal Japan around 8-8.30 in the morning. It was great because the seats were very roomy and comfortable. I slept pretty much from our departure until our arrival. By arriving early, I was among the first in line to buy tickets for that day and enjoy a full day at Universal Japan! Since I slept I was rested and with energy.<\/p>\n<p>Another time, I did it in the opposite direction. I went from Hiroshima to Tokyo by night bus. I must admit that this time, it was a bit harder. It was many more hours and I didn\u2019t get as good a sleep. But it was still much cheaper than the bullet train, allowing me to use the time better.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"hcf19b7ca9b\"><strong>Rates<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Unlike bullet train tickets, which have a fixed price, bus tickets are like airline tickets: they vary depending on the day and the season (if it\u2019s high season, etc.). It also depends on how far in advance you buy it (although sometimes there are last-minute offers if there are seats available). Some companies also have different bus models based on comfort and luxury. The more high-end the bus is, the higher the price of the bus will be.<\/p>\n<p>But to give you an idea, a night bus trip from Tokyo to Osaka or Kyoto, one of the most popular routes, can cost 3,000 yen if you find it on a sale day, but it\u2019s usually around 4,000 yen.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"h260456021d\"><strong>Bus Passes<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Unlike trains, which have various passes, there aren\u2019t many bus passes in Japan. Only the long-distance bus company Willer offers a<span>\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/willerexpress.com\/st\/3\/en\/pc\/buspass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\"><u>Japan Bus Pass<\/u><\/a><span>\u00a0<\/span>for 3, 5, or 7 days. The pass, including night buses, can be used on alternate days for two months and is relatively cost-effective if you make several trips.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"h5bbc2d921b\"><strong>Popular Destination from Tokyo<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Don\u2019t know where to go?
