Cancellation policy

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.

For maximum convenience, take an express bus from Osaka to Tokyo instead of the bullet train or a last-minute flight. Save time and money by avoiding the stress of making transfer arrangements and going in for more expensive alternates. There are many convenient places to get on board, including Umeda, Namba, and shops near Kansai Airport.

Relax on one of the coach's three or four-seat rows, ideal for groups on the go. You may enjoy the comfort of air conditioning on your journey, and take advantage of the several convenient drop-off points, which include Tokyo Station, Shinjuku, and the ever-popular Tokyo Disneyland. Between stops, you can easily reach popular attractions like Universal Studios Japan and outlet malls near Kansai International Airport.
