Troubles while making a reservation online
  • Alpico does not handle the operation of the reservation website. If you encounter issues like your card being denied, the reservation page loading slowly, not sure what to fill in the form, error occuring while proceeding, or being unable to proceed despite availability, etc., please reach out to Keio Dentetsu, which is the company that manages the reservation website, directly at info@highwaybus.com for help.
  • We often receive inquiries about card denials, but when we test it, it usually works fine. So, please try using other cards or attempt booking later the next day or contact your card issuer.
  • When making a reservation online, if your country phone number has less than 9 digits, add a 0 at the beginning to meet the requirement (9-11 digits).
  • If you don’t see the bus you want to book on the booking website, it means that bus is full. Please choose another available bus.
  • The online reservation system and the ticket counter share the same seat availability. If online bookings show no available seats, the ticket counter will have the same status.
  • To check seat availability for the reserved bus, please visit the reservation page. If the bus is fully booked, you will see indicators such as “×”, “No Seat Available”, or “Not Available”. We will not answer to the inquiries about the seat availability.

Fare

Night Bus
Daytime Bus
4,500 ~ 5,100 yen
4,200 ~ 5,100 yen

**Only one-way tickets are available; there is no round-trip fare.

Children’s fares
  • 13 years and older: Adult fare
  • 6 to 12 years old: Child fare (You can check the exact fare at the time of booking.)
  • Under 6 years old: No reservation is needed if the child does not occupy a seat.

However, children under 6 still count as passengers. If the bus reaches full capacity, they may not be allowed to board unless they have a ticket. To ensure a seat and avoid any issues, we recommend purchasing a child fare ticket, even if the child will sit on a parent’s lap. This option is also safer and more comfortable for the child.
