Very good

Nagoya to Tokyo, Bus Standard, Chibamirai Kanko Bus KB4, Aug 14, 2026

Overall, the ride was smooth and we arrived a few minutes early. The driver and the staff at the Sakae Bus Stop were very kind despite the language barrier. However, at the next stop, a female staff member was quite rude when checking the bus. I didn't know the rule about keeping curtains shut, but her manner was very cold, making me feel like a nuisance even though I was just enjoying the view. It felt like a bit of a 'bias' treatment—sometimes you encounter people who are cold to foreigners right off the bat, as if they expect us not to respect their customs. While the rest of the staff was great, her aggressive tone was unnecessary and felt quite dismissive. I don't mind following the rules or being spoken to in Japanese, but I expected a level of courtesy that was unfortunately missing in that interaction. Later, the driver asked me to change seats because someone wasn't feeling well. He spoke only Japanese, but he was so polite that I didn't mind helping at all. I did notice other Japanese passengers who were awake and had empty seats next to them, so I'm not sure why I was the one asked to move, but because the driver’s approach was kind, I was happy to cooperate. Personally, I like my curtains open to see the view and the sunrise, but they don't allow it, so I just slept the whole time.
