How to book and make payments
Booking is recommended for most sightseeing buses. Please check the details on their websites. They accept your booking a month prior to boarding. However you can obtain a seat without booking on the day if the tour is not fully booked. Please make a payment when you confirm the reservation and get a voucher at the ticket window in Furano.
Reservations are not necessary for the shuttle bus service and local bus lines. Please get a ticket from the machine which is located just inside the bus, when you get on the bus. check the board over the driver’s seat. The number on the ticket and the board indicates your fare. Then put coins into the machine next to the driver’s seat. This machine can break 1,000YEN bills. However it’s better idea to prepare enough coins when you take a bus.
