The Grand Daytime Express is a double-decker express bus operated by JR Bus Kanto between Tokyo and Osaka. 2nd floor seats are all independent with three rows of seats, and curtains are used to maintain privacy.
The seats in the front rows on the second floor are high enough to enjoy a good view of the scenery.
Many buses between Tokyo and Osaka are night buses. This daytime bus service is different from night buses, bullet trains, and airplanes.
The SAs, where the bus stops three times in total, have their own unique characteristics, and the souvenirs and food are different. Please take a ride on this bus!!
