Hi all,
Referencing from this website: https://www.highwaybus.com/gp/inbound/inbRo...119#routeSearch

I am planning to travel from “Shinjuku Express Bus Terminal” to “Shimoyoshida bus station” and our ultimate destination is “Chureito Pagoda/Arakurayama Sengen Park”.

If I were to select my destination to “Chuo EXPWY Shimoyosida”, where exactly will the bus stops at? Is it still a walking distance to Chureito Pagoda from there?

Hopefully there are some bros/sis who used this bus service before... thanks for your help!

I am using the guide from here as this is my first time to the area: https://livejapan.com/en/in-tokyo/in-pref-f...GYM8OkZ0IJODicQ

Let me know if this could still be improved based on your experience?

Shinkasen can be expensive

you can also use JR Limited express or Special Express also quite fast.

Google Map tells me its one those standalone bus stops just off the highway
https://www.google.com/maps/@35.501885,138....33;8i6656?hl=en

I don't think you want to get off here unless you know ur directions.

I got an answer via email from the bus vendor that I i think might be beneficial to some if they are planning the same route, though I am not going to do it anymore due to the hassle... i am going with the tour instead this time.

Dear Sir/Madam

It takes about 30 minutes by walk from Chuo EXPWY Shimoyoshida bus stop
to Arakurayama sengen Park.

You can check the map and timetable following URL.

https://www.highwaybus.com/gp/inbound/inbTi...100&upDownKbn=2

Please click Chuo EXPWY Shimoyoshida to see the map.


Thank you.

Best regards.

I bought a bunch of attraction tickets and tours from Klook mobile app. Do we need to print all these tickets out in hard copy or we could just present/scan it via our mobile?

Any experience guys?

most of it needed to be printed out

some like tour...no need to print out, just show from app

Sept? Gilakah? Travel to there in peak typhoon season, somemore there is still summer heat remaining. Unless you prefer to stay cooped in ur hotel room.

Even when I went in early Oct, I was worried about typhoon and so happens my stay duration was between 2 typhoons.

3rd quarter of Oct to Nov is look to be the best time.

Ya, it's a bit risky, but did that last year ... just because of Tokyo Game Show ... wanna go again next year; TGS 2020 should be nice, with the new consoles being finalized and launched, maybe there'll be demo units for public.

Anyway, won't be expecting much outdoorsy sight-seeing if it rains most of the days end of Sept, but am interested to go to USJ in Osaka as well. Hopefully the plan won't be disrupted by extreme weather. unsure.gif
