t67 sleeper bus to tokyo

after that shocking 'closed on tuesday' restaurant, we felt betrayed by KYOTO city and decided to migrate to TOKYO.
now we ended up here, what's next?

why don't we just migrate ha?
joke aside, we planned in advanced of taking a sleeper bus from kyoto to tokyo by killing two birds with one stone.  not literally, but by taking sleeper bus, we can manage the cost for transportation and accommodation. that's the idea.




sleeper bus is a term used to describe night bus where the passengers can sleep throughout the journey.


we made the ticket booking through Willer Express webpage.  the ticket price varies based on the day and season. we got the ticket at 5645 yen per head.
looking for the right bus stop at Kyoto is not easy.  if you think you will find at least a shelter, think again.  the only landmarks i could remember is FRESCO minimarket.  somehow google maps is always helpful.  this stop is close to teramachi shopping arcade, but as most shops closed at 8:00 pm in Japan, we had nothing to shop about but looking at the nearby stream and wait for the bus.




i never thought the japanese version of a sleeper bus is one step ahead, instead of passengers can choose to sleep, they put a dark curtain covering the entire inside of the bus.  so it's not about 'can sleep' but 'must sleep'.  nobody could see what's going on outside and it was only 10 pm.  oo dear, whatever...



so, can we really sleep in the bus?  muiz and syakir couldn't sleep, me and my wife couldn't get up....hehe.
one good thing though, we woke up already in TOKYO, that is DISNEYLAND to be exact.
should i give rating to this kind of accommodation?  

welcome to Disneyland.
