Bus terminal Yaesu, Tokyo
Departure progress on September 17, 2022!
Hello, this is the correspondent "Take-chan".
It's been in September, but it's still hot. On September 17, when the maximum temperature rose to 31 ° C, "Tokyo Midtown Yaesu" finally opened. This time it is pre-opening, so until the grand opening in March next year, only more than 10 stores are occupied.
That said, Cafe, drugstore, convenience store, Okinawan Onigiriya (Tokyo's first store!) There are plenty of charms, such as a danren noodle shop and a powerful standing sushi restaurant!
Directly connected to Yae Chika (Yaesu Underground Shopping Center)
"Tokyo Midtown Yaesu" is directly connected to Yae Chika (Yaesu Underground Shopping Center), so access is very convenient. On the first basement floor, there are more than 10 stores, bus ticket offices, information centers, coin lockers, etc.
Bus Terminal Tokyo Yaesu is located on the second basement floor.
"Bus Terminal Tokyo Yaesu" (2nd basement floor) has six platforms from No. 11 to No. 16, and digital signage shows the departure time and destination very clearly.
I felt that the platform and the bus stop were separated by glass, and that safety considerations were well received. Of course, it is air-conditioned and comfortable, and there is no concern about the smell of the exhaust gas from the bus.
Easy-to-understand destination display!
This photo shows the digital signage of Platform 11 around 12:40 on the day of opening. Utilizing the two displays, the departure time, destination, and stop are clear at a glance.
About 600 flights a day use this bus terminal, but if it's easy to understand, I wonder if there's a mistake.
There's also a night bus.
At late at night, the night bus bound for Nagoya, Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe departs from here.
In addition to the Kansai area, there are also buses heading for Tohoku, Hokuriku / Koshinetsu, and Chugoku / Shikoku / Kyushu.
I look forward to the future
This bus terminal will open in the first phase of the area. It is completed when the second area is completed three years later, and the third area is completed three years later. In other words, in 2028, it will be the largest bus terminal in Japan with a total of 20 stations.
I'm looking forward to the future.
