Practice with ECHO App โFrequently Asked Questions
Q. Do you board the route bus from the front? Do you want to ride from behind?
A. Varies by region. In Tokyo's 23 wards, most people ride in the front, while in rural areas, most people ride in the back. Check the information display.
Q. How do I reserve the express bus?
A. Reservations can be made on Highway Bus Net, Rakuten Travel, and each company's website. If there are seats available on the day, you can also board directly.
Q. Which is faster: the airport bus or the train?
A. Trains are fast in Tokyo (Haneda), but direct buses are convenient for Narita. If you have a lot of luggage, the bus is convenient.
Q. What are some tips for not getting bus sick?
A. It is effective to have a light meal, sit by the window in the direction of travel, and take motion sickness medicine before boarding. For late-night buses, prepare to sleep in advance.
Q. What if I forget something?
A. Memorize the bus stop where you got off, the time, and the bus number, and call the bus company. Usually contact us within 3 days.
