Bus information at the stop
Our bus
The bus driver checked tickets against the passenger list
Typical interior
Route map and garbage bag for each passenger
It has bells like normal buses
Time to go
There is announcement and info on the screen before each stop, and the driver's passenger list shows who's getting off where. There was one stop when a woman was supposed to get off but she was fast asleep. The driver kept "enquiring" if anyone would like to get off?
The bus makes stops on the highway and the driver gets out to check boarding passengers' tickets before he climbs back into his seat
Typical highway bus stop
Stairs by the stop
It's refreshing to see fields and mountains for a change
Wahhhh, Fujisan!
Fujikyu Highland Park is a major stop on this route
It has a combined resort hotel
The amusement park is well-known
Getting more Mount Fuji view
