Japan’s Overnight Bus from Tokyo to Aomori / 10.5 Hours

I tried a budget bus from Tokyo to Aomori and was quite apprehensive because it was a 4-row seat, no restroom vehicle. However, there were three restroom breaks along the way, so the 10-hour ride was fine.
I think the “The Panda” is the best bus for those who want to travel as cheaply as possible and enjoy breaks and shopping at service areas.It is one-third the price of the Shinkansen, which is great for budget travelers!

※The website for the bus I took was not in English, so I’ll put a link to another bus company.

I want to eat delicious apple pie! Hello, I’m Hiro, a travel addict. I am in Ueno, Tokyo Ueno is home to the famous Ueno Zoo, where the first panda from China came to Japan in 1972!

At that time, it was so popular that people had to wait for three hours to see the panda Today, I take an overnight bus from Ueno to Aomori Prefecture looking for a delicious apple pie! Tokyo is already warming up and the sakura are beginning to bloom!

At the same time my hay fever started. My nose won’t stop running…. This is the bus we will be taking tonight, named “The Panda” There is nothing panda-like about it… The bus has four rows of seats and no restroom. We will ride this for 10 hours.

I don’t know if my back can withstand 10 hours. I hope my back doesn’t break. Luckily, no one came next to me. There are three restroom breaks along the way, so I’m sure it will be fine, but I still feel a little uneasy about not having a restroom on the bus.

Each seat has an outlet The driver spoke a very pleasant Aomori dialect.　It made me feel relaxed. Hay fever causing scratchy throat, runny nose and itchy eyes.　I want to go to a pollen-free country! Bus departs on time.

By the way, it is 5,000 yen from Tokyo to Aomori. If you take the Shinkansen, it is 17,470 yen.　 Very nice for a budget traveler like me! The bus soon entered the highway And the lights went out, even though it was still before 9:00PM Safe driving within 100 km/h( 62.14 mph)

After about an hour, we will take our first bathroom break. A 15 minute break was given What a surprise, the rain has turned to snow! I can feel it heading north to colder areas. Lemon milk, a specialty of Tochigi Prefecture I’m looking forward to drinking it for the first time!

Lemon, Lemon, and Lemon… Oh, it’s good! I don’t know why, it tastes very nostalgic even though I’m drinking it for the first time! It’s a long road ahead… If it were a bullet train, it would take three hours to get there… Second bathroom break I always go outside to avoid economy syndrome.

Growing up in an area where it rarely snows, snow is a big pleasure for me. Purposely walking on snow is also a characteristic of people who have not grown up in snow country! It’s late at night and the food court is empty. Drink hot tea for free Hot tea and he refreshed me.

YAAAAAAA! Third bathroom break I should have worn a thicker down jacket. It is still cold in the Tohoku region in March! Arrive in Hirosaki City, Aomori Prefecture Hirosaki is the third largest city in the prefecture in terms of population after Aomori and Hachinohe Many passengers got off here

And 10 hours after leaving Tokyo Arrived at Aomori station! As you can see, he is very happy to be in Aomori for the first time in his life. I immediately found something typical of apple country. This is a vending machine that only sells apple juice

This apple juice is 100% straight fruit juice with no antioxidants They say you can enjoy the taste and aroma as if you were biting into a whole apple! I go into a stand-up noodle shop to warm myself up Looks good! My first meal in Aomori chili pepper

Huh! The soup is sooooo good! My body needs water because I had to withhold it on the overnight bus. I’m going to a public bath to recover from the fatigue of the night bus. The bath completely took away the fatigue of 10 hours on the overnight bus!

The best way to rehydrate after bathing is with 100% apple juice! I guess This is the Seikan Ferry Memorial Ship “Hakkodamaru” From 1908 to 1988, it connected Aomori to Hakodate, Hokkaido It operated until the opening of the Seikan Tunnel, which runs under the sea

What is surprising is that this ship was carrying railroad cars. I can’t believe that! I googled to see if there is any other such ferry in the world, and to my surprise, there is one in Sicily, Italy. And it is still in operation. I must go there someday!

Unfortunately, today was a closed day and I could not go inside the ship. I came to “WA RASSE” where you can feel the festivities of Aomori. Aomori is famous for the most spectacular festival in Japan, featuring huge floats called “Nebuta”! It’s bigger than I thought!

This Nebuta looks somehow Indian I would love to come to the festival in the summer. It must definitely be powerful. I’m going for the apple pie. This is that triangle on the U.S. one-dollar bill, right?

I walked into that triangular building and the smell of apple pie was wafting through the air. I bet the apple pie here is delicious! Oh my goodness! 　It’s sooooo Good! Aomori fishermen Without a doubt, he is the best! Good smells of apples fill the building here as well.

There are many varieties, but of course I choose the hamburger with apple! The apple burger is calling me. Of course, I chose apple juice for my drink! Apples on a hamburger is a combination I never would have thought of before, but it matches and is delicious!

It looks messy, but the meat is juicy and so delicious! He suddenly becomes elegant He is known for his elegance It is recommended to bite into it, as it will collapse if you eat it with a fork!

The crispy texture of the dough and the sweetness of the apples spread out and are very delicious! He regrets not buying the cheese apple pie at the very first store at this time He came back to buy it Beautiful…

Incidentally, apples are said to help improve kidney health and calm down overstimulated nerves! Come to think of it, I’m feeling kind of calm today I think it’s time to start smelling the apples from my body I came to a stylish restaurant with a retro atmosphere. The purpose is, yes, apple pie

The purpose of the trip was to eat lots of delicious apple pies. I feel very accomplished and fulfilled But I ate a little too much and now I feel sick Eating too much of anything is not healthy… Thanks for watching the video See you on my next trip!

I don’t want to see Apples for a while…
