Age 13+:Adult Fare
※By law, children and infants who do not occupy a seat (e.g., sitting on a parent’s lap) are also counted as passengers. If a child does not have a reserved seat when the bus is fully booked, this will be considered over capacity and boarding may be denied. Therefore, we recommend reserving a seat for your child and infant, even if they do not intend to use it.
※ Alpico does not operate its own reservation websites. Similar to hotel booking sites, bus tickets are sold through third-party reservation platforms such asjapanbusonline.comorhighwaybus.com. If there is any discrepancy between the child fare categories shown on the reservation site and those stated on this page, the information on this page takes priority.
