Today I took a highway bus from Tokyo to Nagoya. Traveling in Japan is always an experience in itself, so I thought it might make a fun post. This time I went with Willer Express . The company runs a bunch of routes throughout Japan, and they have an excellent English website. The prices are competitive, and they operate a diverse fleet of buses.
Some are bare bones, squeeze-as-many-seats-as-you-can-in-a-coach chicken economy rental cars buses (which are probably actually not too bad). At the other end are coaches with huge, plushy seats. Of course, the price bar moves from left to right as you go up in class.
I went with the "RELAX with personal monitor" bus, which had a couple economy rental cars of interesting features. The first is the personal "canopy." It folds up behind your seat, and you pull it to extend economy rental cars it over your head. Voila, private head cone.
You fly around economy rental cars picking up baby chickens, which you then deposit in some kind of safehouse. But don't be complacent! There are critters meandering about, and they'll end your righteous chickery right then and there with a touch of their ornery economy rental cars mitts.. Your other entertainment option is music.
The console has a library of relaxation inducing economy rental cars new age tunes like Southern Island and Up Draft (though one wonders if this title were chosen by a Japanese writer with other thoughts in mind). I started my hypnotic musac cruise with Coconut Shade of a Tree.
It's all very relaxy, but if you choose to listen to the beats while enjoying the privacy head canopy, you can't get down with the visual relaxation. economy rental cars It's all about personal choice. economy rental cars You make the call. Another nice feature: There's a power port (two prong), so you can juice up your electronic devices during the trip. Anyway, it was a 5.5 hour ride, and we stopped twice at rest stops. I had some surprisingly good cold soba in the Shizuoka area (I think that's where we were) - packaged up convenience store style, but maybe made by some nice seaside soba supplier. It was oishi. economy rental cars All in all, not a bad ride, and for 3500 yen, who could complain. My ride back on Sunday will be a bit more (4500 yen), so note that route prices aren't fixed. I think if you book further economy rental cars in advance you get slightly better rates. Plus there are other discounted rates available. So there you go. If you need to get from A to B in Japan, the highway buses are very popular (and a fraction of the cost of a shinkansen). You can even take overnight buses from point to point, which saves time and a night's accommodation. I can't promise you'll get a lot of sleep on the buses, but who knows - maybe a couple of games of Flicky followed by some Coconut Shade of a Tree under your personal head canopy is all you need for some easy z's as you're rollin' down the highway in Japan.
