[Why choose us (a chartered bus company)]
- We are a chartered bus company that has been officially certified for safety. We will fully guarantee the safety of your travel. (If you are involved in a traffic accident while riding our bus, you will be covered by traffic accident insurance.) This means that, for example, you can drive a rental car yourself without getting lost or missing public transportation, ensuring the comfort of your overseas travel. *Japan's train departure times are said to be the most accurate in the world, so if you are even one minute late, you will miss public transportation...
- And since we are a chartered bus company with a long history of success, our products are designed with a route that is efficient and ensures the minimum amount of time you spend at tourist spots. *If you have driven a rental car overseas, you will understand that it is difficult to get to the required time shown on Google Maps... Especially in urban areas, traffic jams are common, and in rural areas, if you get lost on a mountain road, your car will break down. In this regard, the products we present are average and popular routes accumulated from many cases.
