Travel-day checklist
Bus services can use different terminals or roadside boarding areas. Confirm the service name, stop and scheduled departure in your booking details, and arrive early enough to find the correct place. Bring essential items with you rather than placing them in stored luggage.
Before you travel
- Check the exact boarding point shown for your selected service; city names can cover more than one terminal or stop.
- Allow time to reach the boarding area and keep your booking confirmation easy to access.
- Review the luggage and ticket conditions displayed for the specific departure you choose.
- If you are changing transport after the bus, leave a comfortable connection time rather than assuming every service arrives at the same location.
Arriving in Kusatsu
Your arrival stop depends on the service selected. Before departure, save the stop location and plan the next step to your accommodation or onward connection. Local transport options, walking times and station layouts vary, particularly outside major rail hubs.
