@@ballyday4994 We're sorry to hear about the mix-up with your bus tickets. To make sure you both can travel together, it's best to contact the bus company's support team directly. They can help you with adjusting the booking and ensuring you and your wife can choose seats on the same bus. If you have booked Willer bus, here's the link to their FAQ, which might also have some helpful information: willer.my.site.com/en/s/?_bdsid=2GT~zm.oXMpsPu.1713430187230.1713430207 Wishing you both a smooth resolution and a pleasant journey!

Our pleasure! 😊

Thanks for watching! 😃

Thanks for watching 😊

Hi, for this particular bus, it was not adjustable or movable, however it might be for their other buses that cost higher 🙂

Hi, oh unfortunately we can no longer recall

Glad it was helpful! 🙂

Hi @Ichew2001 The bus we rode didn't have a bathroom onboard. However, Willer Bus does have other buses with bathrooms that you can choose for your trip.😊

Hi there! Personally, we found sleeping on a night bus quite comfortable, especially with reclining seats. Regarding instructions, many buses in Japan, including the one we rode, offer announcements in English, so you should be fine even without speaking Japanese. Safe travels!

Hi, bus stop in Kyoto located at Higashikujo, Minami Ward, near Kyoto Avanti mall 🙂

Hi, here’s Willer bus user guide luggage willerexpress.com/en/guide/luggage/?gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwrvyxBhAbEiwAEg_KgoYO4dmzsHve6Qtzq-qaZp8cMpdb-Xx7LV-bazfUzgBv9mS5lf5gRxoCkEMQAvD_BwE Hope this helps, thanks

Hi! We didn’t notice any smoking areas at the rest stops, but it’s best to check with the bus company or look for signs when you’re there. Safe travels!

Hi, Yes, there are other options aside from the bullet train. You can use limited express trains, local and rapid trains via the JR Tokaido Line, or occasional overnight trains. These options are cheaper but take much longer and involve multiple transfers. You can use www.rome2rio.com to find routes, thanks

Hi, we just had backpack inside the bus, it would be too tight for the leg room if you will bring carry on luggage inside. Some willer bus do not have capacity to load big luggages, it is important to check the details of the bus before booking if they have space for bigg luggages. In our case, the bus that we booked have the capacity to load big luggages. Thanks

Hi, yes there is😊

Hi, we purchased a separate ticket from Umeda station to Namba station (where our hotel is) but we also have Suica card for the commute that covers Japan Rail Pass. Here is a link that might help you navigate Osaka Metro - www.jrpass.com/blog/30-tips-on-how-to-use-japan-s-metros hope this helps :)

Hi, we arrived in Japan via Narita Airport in Tokyo and departed Japan to Manila via Kansai Airport in Osaka😊

At that time, 1 ticket was priced at 4,400 yen (adult)

@@karloandcathy nice so whats ur call taking JR pass or buses to roam in Japan ?

@@pritampandit Hi, we haven't tried riding buses to roam in Japan, except for this one. We usually ride the train by choice via JR or subway :)

Hi, we didn’t do online check in, we just made sure that the bus that we booked have trunk so we can put our luggages, some buses might not have. You can check here for other infos about luggages for willer bus willerexpress.com/en/guide/luggage/ hope this helps, thanks😊

Hi, it's around 15-20 minutes stop at rest areas :)

Other buses have them, but not on this particular bus. We made 3 stops for bathroom breaks during the 9-hour ride.

Hi, some buses have, but none for this particular bus. We had 3 stop overs for the entire duration of the trip. Thanks
