Tokyo to Nikko Edomura direct bus service launch

Overview

A new direct express bus service, the ‘Yaesu Nikko Line’, is scheduled to launch on September 19, 2026, connecting the Tokyo Yaesu Bus Terminal to Edo Wonderland Nikko Edomura. The service is a collaborative project between Jidaimura Co., Ltd., Goryo Bus, and KKday JAPAN.

The route is designed to remove the ‘transfer barrier’ caused by the need for travelers to use multiple trains and local buses to reach the theme park. Operating once daily through November 30, 2026, the service aims to support regional tourism during the autumn foliage season and Silver Week holidays.

Fares are set at 4,000 yen for adults and 2,000 yen for children. The initiative responds to increased demand for historical and cultural experiences among international tourists and may serve as a step toward improving broader accessibility to the Nikko area.
