Fixed-route bus timetable from Dec. 2011 to Mar. 2012

Two types of unlimited two-day passes for fixed-route buses are available. One is valid for any 2 consecutive days at a cost of 2,500 yen (*1), and the other 2,000 yen pass is good only for weekend (*2).  The former comes with additional benefits worth 500 yen, while the latter must be used on 2 consecutive weekend days. Generally, this must be Saturday and Sunday. However, if a national holiday falls on a Friday or Monday, the pass may be used on 2 consecutive days including the national holiday. For example, Friday and Saturday or Sunday and Monday (including the national holiday) would be acceptable. Ticketing is available as much as 7 days in advance.  No partial refunds will be made.  We also offer special sightseeing buses that will comfortably take you to select spots. Seats are available every day until fully booked, or you may want to make reservations. Please call for rates, routes, and schedules.
