Tokyo to Kanazawa Destination Reviews

C
For a bus during the night (8 hours) it was extremely uncomfortable for a guy who is 190cm tall. I was constantly battling the guy beside me for room. I couldn't see out the window the whole trip because of curtains everywhere (I was on the aisle seat) It was very cheap however (3,000 yen)

La politique bagage n'est pas du tout indiquée au moment de l'achat. C'est en recevant la confirmation qu'on apprend que seuls les bagages de moins de 150cm tout cumulé sont acceptés. Amenez vos coussins et couvertures, car la climatisation est assez forte et rien n'est fourni. Pour le reste vous pouvez y aller les yeux fermés. Le bus part et arrive à l'heure précisément indiquée et à côté des gares, c'est très pratique d'être au centre ville.
