Insert the numbered ticket together with the exact fare into the fare box at the front of the bus (located next to the driver’s seat) before getting off the bus.
- * You can change money using the exchange machine at the front of the bus. Please note that the machine will only accept ¥50, ¥100 and ¥500 denomination coins and ¥1,000 notes. You cannot change ¥2,000, ¥5,000 or ¥10,000 notes on the bus, so it is necessary to prepare the correct money in advance, before boarding.
