Night Bus: A New Choice for Budget-Friendly Travelers and Backpackers | Kanto-Kansai Route (Four-Row Seats)

Want to explore Kanto and Kansai's popular sights without the lavish Shinkansen? Quba recommends the perfect night bus travel option! Choose from 15 affordable and comfortable night buses with a variety of routes and a choice of two drivers. There are also women-only night buses, perfect for solo travelers. Each passenger is provided with a clean blanket, and even though the bus doesn't have a restroom, it stops at rest stops every 2-3 hours, ensuring peace of mind.

The best way to travel Kanto and Kansai on a budget—a night bus. Wake up to your destination and start your day right away, saving you time in Japan. Choose the bus that best suits your route, budget, and comfort level. Free use of the bus company's Tokyo VIP Lounge from 1:00 PM on the boarding day and until 11:00 AM on the disembarkation day includes male and female changing rooms, free internet access, a women-only powder room, paid showers, luggage storage, and more. Feel right at home without breaking the bank!

Departing Kansai at night, upon arrival in Tokyo, board the bus at the Tokyo VIP Lounge near your disembarkation point and connect directly to the "Mount Fuji Day Bus Tour" (price not included). This bus will take you to Mount Fuji's Fifth Station, Lake Kawaguchiko, Oshino Hakkai, and the Gotemba Outlets. With Chinese and English-speaking escorts, you won't miss a moment of fun aboard the night bus!
