Direct Bus Service from Tokyo to Tateyama Murodo Operates Until October 12
Keio Bus and Shinki Bus implemented a timetable revision on July 16 for their Shinjuku/Shibuya–Kobe/Himeji overnight express bus route.
On the Tokyo side, in addition to the two existing boarding and alighting locations in Shinjuku and Shibuya, buses will now stop at the underground Platform B of Bus Terminal Tokyo Yaesu, which is directly connected to Tokyo Station.
The revised timetable shortens travel times. On southbound services, arrival at the final destination of Himeji Station will be 50 minutes earlier than at present, at 7:35 a.m. On northbound services, arrivals in both Shibuya and Shinjuku will be 40 minutes earlier, while buses will arrive at Bus Terminal Tokyo Yaesu at 7:15 a.m. Service to the Flower Town Center bus stop in Sanda, Hyogo Prefecture, will be discontinued.
