The Hakata Express, King of Night Bus (キングオブ深夜バス はかた号) is one of the longest night bus trips in Japan.
As I had ridden the old model bus last time, I took the new model this time.
I traveled from Hakata to Tokyo on the most expensive private room “Premium Seat”.
It's a 1,100km (684 miles) trip that takes about 15 hours.
The seat was so comfortable with wireless smartphone charger, individual curtains, automatic reclining and massage functions, free Wi-Fi and USB ports.
The bus has only 4 premium seats, so I recommend you book as soon as you plan your trip.
"I had a dream of my a🍑s coming off" ... The bus trip was so long and harsh that a guy made this famous quote on a super-popular Japanese TV show, and Hakata Express became famous as “King of Night Bus”.
☆★☆This is what it was actually like!☆★☆
--New Model Bus of Hakata Express--
* Amazingly, the Premium Seats had a massage function!
* There was also a wireless smartphone charger.
* When I was waiting for the bus, a guy who was behind me was look like Jin,
the villain of the anime of Detective Conan.
* There was an annoying girl filming TikTok with loud music.
* The two drivers are polite, professional and tough.
* The fare is expensive, but cheaper than the total cost of the bullet train or airplane and one night's hotel stay.
* The restaurant, the real-life anime location of "Your Name", looked exactly the same.
A challenge to visit every country in the world... "Japan" is the "1st" country that I visited out of all the 196 counties in the world.
