What are the Bus Classes & Prices of Sakura Kotsu?
The price of your bus trip will depend both on the destination and the class of your ticket. Note that not all ticket classes are available on certain routes yet for longer trips there is almost always a good choice of options. Opt for a sleeper coach for the most convenient overnight trip. Sleeper buses are usually equipped with berths or soft reclining seats, feature an onboard toilet and your ticket may also include other perks like snacks or even a lunch. Taking a night bus is also a good idea if you want to save on your hotel room. During the day an express service is often the best value for money as it makes less stops than an ordinary or standard class bus and travels faster. On some routes it may be crucial to choose the right class as, say, an ordinary or second class bus may need some 6 hours to cover the distance the first class or express bus travels in two hours!
Pros & Cons of Bus Travel
Pros of Bus Travel
Buses usually boast the widest network of destinations covered. They travel to the places you cannot get to by plane or even by train
Travelling by bus is easy – there is no need to arrive to the bus terminal much in advance, and the check-in is usually a very fast formality opposite to air travel
Bus tickets are very affordable. Yes, there are costly first class or VIP options but is you are on a budget, bus is the first means of transportation you have to think about
At the same time, there are different classes of service to suit any budget. If you are after a higher level of comfort, buses get you covered, too.
Cons of Bus Travel
Intercity bus terminals can be located outside the city centre in the outskirts. It means you will need to calculate extra time and money to get there. In certain destinations getting from the bus terminal can cost you more than you would expect because only a limited number of transportation companies is allowed to serve the route – and prices may be inflated.
During busy weekends or high season buses serving some tourist destinations may run out of schedule and require advanced booking.
While buses are not as weather dependent as ferries, bus trips can also be delayed or cancelled due to bad weather or road conditions – keep it in mind if travelling during certain seasons or to certain destinations.

Everything worked great and people at the station were helpful and the maps accurate location was very good. Overall the bus trip was also successful, but for a tall person if someone lays down on their seat, I won't fit in. So maybe if there was an option for taller people seats I'd be more comfortable. Also the AC is good, but it was so cold that I was freezing the whole time.

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.
