JR Bus Kanto will begin a demonstration experiment on June 7 for a bus service connecting JR Agatsuma Line’s Naganoharakusatsuguchi Station to major hotels via the Kusatsu Onsen Bus Terminal in Gunma Prefecture, Japan.
Until now, travelers staying at Kusatsu Onsen and using public transportation had to take a route bus from Naganoharakusatsuguchi Station to the Kusatsu Onsen Bus Terminal, and then transfer to each hotel or ryokan’s shuttle bus or walk on their own. Through this demonstration experiment, passengers will be able to access major hotels directly from Naganoharakusatsuguchi Station without transfers. The aims also include easing congestion at the Kusatsu Onsen Bus Terminal, improving convenience for tourists, and reducing the burden on each accommodation facility. The service will operate until October 31.
The fare between Naganoharakusatsuguchi Station and each hotel is 1,000 yen for adults. Cash and transportation IC cards are accepted, and fares are paid when getting off. Seating is limited and reservations are not available.
