Understanding the fare
¥154,000 is a sample fare based on an actual booking, for a medium bus with 20 people and 10.5 hours.
This amount includes the medium bus, the driver, fuel and vehicle insurance.
Expressway tolls to central Tokyo and parking fees at stops such as Meiji Jingu Shrine are charged separately at actual cost.
Weekends and peak seasons cost more than weekdays: about 20% higher as a rough guideline. Fares are based on the driver's working hours and the distance driven, so even a 30-minute change in times may change the fare.
Choosing the bus
20 people fit comfortably in a medium bus (27–33 seats).
The luggage compartment holds about 20 suitcases (a guideline).
A large bus gives more seating and luggage space, but the rate is higher and it may have difficulty getting into stops on narrow roads.
With a slightly smaller group, you could also choose a small bus (21–25 seats) to keep the fare down. Some small buses have no luggage compartment, so please let us know how much luggage you have.
FAQ
- Are there English-speaking drivers?
- In some areas, drivers who can handle English are available. Please ask when you book.
- Is there an extra charge if traffic delays our return?
- Delays for unavoidable reasons such as traffic congestion are not subject to extra charges. If the itinerary is changed for the customer's own reasons, the additional amount will be billed later.
- How far in advance should we book?
- If a bus is available, we accept bookings up to 3 days before. Cancellation fees apply from 15 days before the date of use, so we recommend reserving early once your date is set.
