Reviews
It is very convenient. Take the bus from the center of Tokyo to Osaka. It takes about 9 hours. Leave in the evening around 3-4 pm and arrive in Osaka around 7 am. There is a restroom stop. However, the four-row seats might be a bit cramped for big people.
The lounge has private rooms to rest and wash areas to freshen up. I was also able to take a quick shower for 500 yen. The staff are helpful. The bus trip itself was okay and I was able to get some naps in between moments where I woke up due to sudden road bumps. There were several bus stops where passengers can take a toilet break and buy some snacks.
the vip lounge has the free coffee&tea, plus you may thy their soup, also there is a room for freshening up. while you are waiting for the bus, you may do a quick massage for your feet. the bus could be more comfy, since is was mentioned that it would be a bus for 4 people, but anyways, it was good, we could get some privacy there. liked it.
Super easy to find lounge, plus the VIP lounge had everything from shower room, powder room, TV, magazines, even a free bottled drink! While the bus felt a bit cramped, you would not feel it since you would be sleeping all throughout the trip. It’s a good budget way and experience to travel from Tokyo to Osaka. 😃
It was a great experience to ride an overnight bus from Tokyo to Osaka. I booked a 4-seat row bus and I’d say it was okay. It hard to move, so I suggest you book a 3-seat row bus or 2-seat row if there’s any. but overall, it was good!
The bus was on time. Take note that only one pc of luggage is allowed per person. The bus driver will give a go signal when to recline your seat so you can rest. The lounge was great as well, you can shower (with a fee) and rest your legs before boarding the bus.
This bus has very comfortable seats. Each passenger can have their own privacy on their seats. The bus departed and arrived on time. I was able to sleep during the whole trip. The luggages were taken care of at the compartment. The driving was smooth. There are pillows and blanket provided on each seat.
Super recommend this night bus, aside from you can save from a hotel for a night cause you'll arrive next day, its super way more convenient and very affordable. It's super easy to redeem, and way more inexpensive.
the staff was welcoming and was helpful despite language barrier. starting also came with blanket and pillow would come back.
It was my first time in Japan so finding the station was a little difficult. But I really enjoyed my trip it was comfortable journey. Thanks to klook
