Osaka to Ikebukuro Destination Reviews

MG
We arrived a little after the expected time but the bus was on time at the departure. Also, the driver makes several stops so don't worry about buying some food/drinks or going to the restroom. Maybe the seats are quite little, even for a thin person, but everything is done in order to have a safe and good trip.
