Bus Timetable Changes

NEW! For 2012 changes see the 2012 bus timetable page  NEW!

There are two bus companies on Yakushima: ‘Yakushima Kotsu‘ and ‘Matsubanda‘. Matsubanda has just revised its timetable in March 2009 and changed some of the bus times as detailed in my book.

*Please note the following important changes to the Matsubanda timetable* (The shaded timetable in the guide book)

To Yakusugiland/Kigensugi:

The returning bus is the same as in the book at 15.53.

To Shiratani Unsuikyo:

There is an extra bus in the morning at 11.20 (see below) and there is no longer a bus at 16.00 from Miyanoura.

From Shiratani Unsuikyo:

All three Matsubanda buses have changed their times (due to the early evening road closure) as follows:

From Arakawa Trail Entrance:

There is now an extra bus from Arakawa Trail Entrance to Miyanoura as follows:

The rest of the Matsubanda timetable appears the same as printed in the guide book. Should you come across anything different please let me know in the comments section below.

Remember the changes only apply to the Matsubanda bus timetables not the coastal routes/mountain routes of the larger Yakushima Kotsu bus service.
