Bus Tokushima city to Kobe Sannomiya

Hello,

I am searching for bus from Tokushima city to Kobe Sannomiya on 14th of August, do you guys know where I can book this? I tried WILLER but the route I found is from Takamatsu to Sannomiya but not specifically in Tokushima city main station.

Any ideas?

Thanks

There are two rivalling groups of bus companies serving the route, offering a huge number of connections every day:

We did that trip in October last year...but the reverse.

During our trip, I consistently found that the website Rome2Rio or

https://www.rome2rio.com/map/Tokushima-Station/Sannomiya-Station#trips...

threw up super helpful results that Google Maps etc didn't, including ferry timetables etc.

Japanese Highway Buses and the Highway Rest Stations are wonderful...enjoy!

Is it ok if I just go there and buy it on the day before? I can't find how to book online.

Thanks

I can't find how to book online.

For the second link, it's the blue rectangle on the right column (on a PC), with "ご予約" written on it (meaning "reservation").

For the first link, it's the big green-blue button, under 空席照会・ご予約.
They seem to use the same booking system, where all buses for a given date are listed on the same page. You just have to choose at which time you want to take the bus, then for a one way trip, you click on 片道予約 (meaning "one way trip reservation", the button is orange).

You can use Google translate. Open the same page on 2 different tabs. One, you translate and use it as a reference. The other you keep it as is, to make the actual reservation without messing up the date selections.

Thank you, already booked!
