Important Info

Information about luggage restrictions: 

For passengers using a daytime bus: Due to limited trunk room storage space, multiple baggage, ski and snowboard gears, bicycles, and oversized luggage may be rejected. 

For passengers using a night bus: Due to very limited storage space, we refuse to take bulky luggage such as ski and snowboard gears, , and bicycles into our trunk room. Please use delivery service to send your luggage to your destination in advance.

For customers concerned about this, we recommend sending your equipment in advance via a courier service, if possible. If sending in advance is not an option, you can consider reserving an additional seat at the adult fare to use as a dedicated space for your belongings.

Please note that:

  1. Even if there is extra space available in the bus’s trunk room on the day of travel, we cannot provide a refund for the luggage seat fee, so please be aware of this in advance.
  2. Please make sure to use dedicated covers or bags for your skis, snowboard, and snowshoes.
  3. Bicycles should be disassembled and packed in a dedicated bag for assembly-type bicycles or in a specific bag for folding bicycles.
  4. Please note that we do not take any responsibility for any damage to your belongings.
