Overnight, Long-distance bus services in Japan

Long-distance buses (highway, night-buses) link major cities in Japan, and these buses often leave at night and arrive at their destination in the following morning.

Although it takes more time than traveling by train, the fare is cheaper than train fares. It is not as comfortable as traveling by train either, but it can be a money saving on one-day accommodation as well as transportation cost.

To use long-distance buses, prior reservation is required in most of the cases. You can purchase tickets onsite at the bus station, such as Shinjuku and Tokyo. Also, There are websites offering online booking services for these types of busses, but most of them are available only in Japanese, unfortunately. If you have no problem understanding the Japanese language, the following websites will be convenient. You can book online and make the payment at a nearby convenience store ( or by credit card).
