Use public transport with a bike in Japan

5/3/2017 1:30:24 AM

Trains are totally free to carry bike folded or at least front wheel removed and packed in a bag (even simplest plastic). Usual buses are similar to trains.

Highway buses are more complicated. Most of them don’t allow bikes in any way. Some companies, who allow, demand bikes packed in the cardboard box. Best way is to call and ask (in Japanese only) before but sometimes I had situations when driver has different instructions than people in call center.

If you have cardboard box you can send bike by post. But in some cases price can be 20K yen.
