Shin Osaka to Tokyo Destination Reviews

It was comfortable and I was able to sleep in peace
Shin Osaka to Tokyo, Bus Premium, Graceliner, Dec 30, 2025

The trip was very smooth. The drivers were polite and always kept us updated about the stops. We made three stops along the way. The bus is well-organized and equipped with a restroom and power outlets at every seat. It does get tiring due to the long duration, but it’s definitely worth it for the savings.
