In our case we selected the RELAX seat for JPY 4700 (Prices will vary). It has a big leg room and leg rest, it also includes a fleece blanket, a small pillow and a canopy, plus the seat can be reclined up to 140 degrees. Here are some snippets if you cannot open the Instagram post.

This waiting area at Marunouchi Kajibashi Parking Lot. This bus station waiting area isn’t that big as the the typical train station’s waiting area.

The LED display where they will tell you which gate the bus will depart and the service status.

For sure these (Japanes) bus companies  are taking good care of the bags on the compartment.

Who’s not gonna love this seat??? 🙂 The hood, eye cover, the blanket and the phone chargers are included…

plus a big leg room!

From Marunouchi Kajibashi Parking Lot, Tokyo it took 8 hours for us to reach Kyoto. The bus left at 10:30 PM and we arrived in Kyoto Station at 6:30 AM. 

There are no restaurants inside the bus station but few meters from the station lies restaurants, several fast food shops and convenience stores.
