How to Use

Bus stop

  • Please stand on the sidewalk away from the curb at the designated bus stop when you see a bus coming.

  • Usually, the bus stops are put on both sides of the road, but we put it just one side of the road in case of a bad road condition.

  • If the bus stop is put on only one side of the road, please confirm your destination and wait on the other side in some cases.

  • In addition to the above, please keep quiet while you are waiting, and please do not litter.

How to read the bus stop

The bus stops will indicate “Name of the stop,” “name of the bus company/ Izuhakone bus,” “Time schedule”, and “Route map” from top to bottom.
Hours will indicate vertically, and Minutes will show horizontally.
If the bus passes a different route, we marked it in red beside the time table despite it going to the same final stop and same bus service routes.
Please confirm “Destination,” “Through-point,” and check the “Route map” carefully before you ride the bus.
