◯Tips
– This bus is so popular, but not operating daily, so make the reservation as early as possible when you have decided on your schedule.
– The Yogurt drink (Idenoku) at the rest area is so good. Give it a try while you are there.
– We recommend having a bowl of Udon as soon as you get off the night bus, it will be more delicious.
