Most large cities have a local public bus network to complement trains, subway or trams. Check out how to uses them at Local Buses.

Highway Buses

Highway buses are a cheap alternative to trains for long and medium distance travel in Japan. There’s an extensive network of daytime and overnight highway bus lines. See your options at Highway Buses.

If you’re on a tight budget, a time-efficient yakō basu (夜行バス) or night bus make an intriguing option that also save on a night’s accommodation costs for those on a budget.
