Therefore, traffic congestion on the roads significantly affects arrival times.<br\/> Especially on weekends and holidays, the number of families traveling nationwide increases, and traffic congestion is more likely to occur from the morning. If you are planning to take a highway bus between Osaka and Maiko, a section that is particularly prone to congestion, we recommend that you factor in a delay of 30 to 60 minutes.<br\/> This time, we&#8217;ll mainly introduce a plan that allows you to travel from Osaka to Nijigen no Mori without any transfers, but we&#8217;ll also introduce a secondary plan that prioritizes arriving on time.<br\/> With the no-transfer plan, you will arrive at Nijigen no Mori a little after 10:30 AM and can spend time there until a little after 4:00 PM.<br\/> Due to time constraints, it will be difficult to enjoy attractions that open in the evening or later, such as the Night Walk, but you should be able to enjoy most of the other content.<\/p>\n  <h3 id=\"h002\">Is it possible to spend the entire day at Nijigen no Mori and then take a day trip to Osaka?<\/h3>\n  <p>Please note that, assuming a transfer at Maiko, it is possible to make a day trip to Osaka even if you stay at Nijigen no Mori until its closing time of 10 PM. As will be explained later, you can make a day trip to Osaka by taking the bus departing from the Nijigen no Mori F parking lot bus stop at 10:11 PM. With this plan, you will have plenty of time to enjoy the night walk as well.<br\/> However, please note that the train will arrive at JR Osaka Station around 11:31 PM. If you need to travel further by train from there, please check in advance whether you will be able to catch the last train.<\/p>\n  <h2 id=\"h003\">Outbound Main Plan: Depart at 9:00 AM on the Kakehashi Nijigen no Mori Express Bus No. 151.<\/h2>\n  <!-- \u30eb\u30fc\u30c8\u8aac\u660e\u30dc\u30c3\u30af\u30b9 -->\n  <div class=\"route_plan\">\n    <div class=\"routeheader center\">Outbound Main Plan<\/div>\n    <!-- \u99c5\/\u505c\u7559\u6240\u306e\u57fa\u672c\u30d6\u30ed\u30c3\u30af -->\n    <div class=\"route_block\">\n      <div class=\"route_station\">\n        <h3 class=\"station_name\">Osaka Station JR Highway Bus Terminal<br\/> <span class=\"line-name\">(Express bus)<\/span><\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- \/route_block--><!-- \u904b\u884c\u77e2\u5370\u306e\u57fa\u672c\u30d6\u30ed\u30c3\u30af -->\n    <div class=\"route_block\">\n      <div class=\"under_arrow\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nijigennomori-s3-loadbalancer.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/under_arrow.png\" class=\"goto\" alt=\"go to\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"route_price\">\n        <div class=\"price_box\">1,420 yen<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"directions\">\n        <div class=\"cell route_departure\"><span class=\"place\">No bus stop information available<\/span> for the <span class=\"time\">09:00<\/span> <span class=\"attribute\">departure<\/span> .<\/div>\n        <div class=\"route\">\n          <div class=\"cell route_icon\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nijigennomori-s3-loadbalancer.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/bus.png\" class=\"vehicle\" alt=\"Highway bus\"><\/div>\n          <div class=\"cell explanation\">Express bus, 1 hour 34 minutes, Kakehashi Nijigen no Mori, Bus No. 151, bound for Sumoto BC.<\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"cell route_arrival\"><span class=\"attribute\">Arrived<\/span> <span class=\"time\">at 10:34<\/span> <span class=\"place\">Nijigen no Mori <span class=\"small\">(Highway Oasis)<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n      <\/div>\n      <div class=\"under_arrow nopc\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/nijigennomori-s3-loadbalancer.s3.ap-northeast-1.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/under_arrow.png\" class=\"goto\" alt=\"go to\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- \/route_block--><!-- \u99c5\/\u505c\u7559\u6240\u306e\u57fa\u672c\u30d6\u30ed\u30c3\u30af -->\n    <div class=\"route_block\">\n      <div class=\"route_station\">\n        <h3 class=\"station_name\">Nijigen no Mori<\/h3>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- \/route_block--><!-- \u904b\u884c\u77e2\u5370\u306e\u57fa\u672c\u30d6\u30ed\u30c3\u30af -->\n    <div class=\"route_block\">\n      <div class=\"route_price\">\n        <div class=\"price_box\">Total: 1,420 yen<\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- \/route_block--><\/div>\n  <!-- \/route_plan -->\n  <p>For the outbound journey, I would first recommend using the &#8220;Kakehashi Nijigen no Mori No. 151&#8221; train, which runs directly from Osaka Station to Nijigen no Mori.<\/p>\n  <p>This bus departs from <span>the JR<\/span> Highway Bus Terminal at Osaka Station and stops at &#8220;Nijigen no Mori (Highway Oasis)&#8221;.<\/p>\n  <p>There are <span>two<\/span> advantages to adopting this plan.<\/p>\n  <p>First and foremost, it&#8217;s incredibly convenient. Since it&#8217;s a direct route, you don&#8217;t have to worry even if you have a lot of luggage.<\/p>\n  <p>Next, the bus stop at Osaka Station is located immediately to the left after exiting the central ticket gate.<\/p>\n  <div class=\"map\">\n    <h4 id=\"m001\">Map: Osaka Station JR Highway Bus Terminal<\/h4>\n    <iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3280.1018130692983!2d135.4918815764105!3d34.70261188310922!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x6000e68c331d9995%3A0x3975ea5baa12905a!2z5aSn6Ziq6aeFSlLpq5jpgJ_jg5Djgrnjgr_jg7zjg5_jg4rjg6s!5e0!3m2!1sja!2sjp!4v1688625822300!5m2!1sja!2sjp\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe>\n  <\/div>\n  <p>The fact that there are restrooms and convenience stores inside Osaka Station, all conveniently located near the bus terminal, is also a noteworthy point.<span><br\/><\/span> However, since you&#8217;ll be taking the bus at the early hour of <span>9:00<\/span> AM, many shops in nearby commercial facilities will likely be closed.<span><br\/><\/span> If you&#8217;re unfamiliar with the area, especially if you&#8217;ve stayed overnight from Tokyo or elsewhere, we recommend keeping shopping and restroom breaks to a minimum and waiting at the bus stop. This is because Osaka Station is part of one of Japan&#8217;s most confusing areas, sometimes called the &#8220;Umeda Dungeon.&#8221; Getting lost while exploring the area and missing your bus would be counterproductive, so we recommend spending as much time as possible at the bus terminal.<\/p>\n  <p>There are <span>four<\/span> disadvantages.<\/p>\n  <p>First, as mentioned earlier, there&#8217;s the risk of traffic congestion. With a direct bus from Osaka, the travel distance is longer than if you transfer at Maiko, so you&#8217;ll be directly affected by traffic on the Hanshin Expressway. The advantage of a direct bus is that you don&#8217;t have to consider transfer timetables, but during Golden Week and Obon, you should factor in delays of <span>20<\/span> to <span>30<\/span> minutes or more.<\/p>\n  <p><span>The second<\/span> issue is that there are no buses that arrive before Nijigen no Mori opens. If you&#8217;re departing from Osaka, the earliest direct bus that arrives at Highway Oasis <span>at 10:34<\/span> <span>is<\/span> the one I&#8217;ve mentioned.<\/p>\n  <p><span>The third<\/span> thing is where to get off the bus.<\/p>\n  <div class=\"map\">\n    <h4 id=\"m002\">Map: Nijigen no Mori (Highway Oasis)<\/h4>\n    <iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3284.9456800640214!2d135.01055827640675!3d34.580240989665626!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x600082bdcbf6da0d%3A0xda6991ab65b85622!2z44OL44K444Ky44Oz44OO44Oi44Oq77yI44OQ44K577yJ!5e0!3m2!1sja!2sjp!4v1688626136778!5m2!1sja!2sjp\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe>\n    <div class=\"annotation\">*Nijigen no Mori (Highway Oasis) is displayed as &#8220;Nijigen no Mori (Bus)&#8221; on Google Maps.<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <p>The &#8220;Nijigen no Mori (Highway Oasis)&#8221; bus stop on this plan is essentially the eastern entrance to Awaji Island Prefectural Park, where Nijigen no Mori is located. &#8220;Dragon Quest Island&#8221; and &#8220;Godzilla Interception Operation&#8221; are located on the western side of the park, so it will take about <span>20<\/span> minutes to walk there from the bus stop.

\/route_plan -->\n    <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n    <p>Here&#8217;s a plan for when you absolutely need to be on time, perhaps because you have an appointment to meet a friend there. This involves transferring to a highway bus at <span>JR<\/span> Maiko Station and crossing over to Awaji Island.<\/p>\n    <p>By using trains in conjunction with express buses, you can avoid congested sections of the express bus route and minimize the impact of delays caused by traffic. With this plan, since the section of the Hanshin Expressway that express buses normally travel on is replaced by trains, you should arrive almost on time unless there is a <span>JR<\/span> accident or trouble with the Awaji Kaikyo Bridge.<\/p>\n    <p>The most challenging part of this route is the transfer at Maiko. The walking distance is quite long, making it difficult to travel with large luggage. However, there are no hills, and the only way to change elevation is by elevator, so using a cart is not a problem.<\/p>\n    <div class=\"border\">\n      <p>Please note that Kosoku Maiko is a very large bus terminal, with a great number of buses departing from its two terminals.<br\/> Since buses that don&#8217;t stop in the direction of Nijigen no Mori also stop at the same bus stop, it can be confusing to know which bus stop to wait at depending on the time.<br\/> Checking the timetable is the most accurate method, but there are also unofficial websites that compile information, such as the &#8221; <a href=\"https:\/\/e28bus.info\/maiko\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Maiko Highway Bus Stop Information Center<\/a> ,&#8221; so please make use of them.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n    <div class=\"map\">\n      <h4 id=\"m004\">Map: K\u014dsoku Maiko (bus)<\/h4>\n      <iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3282.8358211879604!2d135.03284367640848!3d34.633588986809634!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x600082330b344c5f%3A0xd2e4fbb259e90037!2z6auY6YCf6Iie5a2Q77yI44OQ44K577yJ!5e0!3m2!1sja!2sjp!4v1688628936898!5m2!1sja!2sjp\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe>\n    <\/div>\n    <p>Another point to note is the transfer at Awaji Interchange.

The last bus that goes directly to Osaka departs at <span>4:43<\/span> <span>PM<\/span> , and the last express bus to Sannomiya departs from Nijigen no Mori at <span>6:40 PM<\/span> <span>,<\/span> so be sure not to miss them if you want to get home easily.<\/p>\n  <p>The advantage of choosing this plan is that there are no transfers. You can get back to Osaka on a single express bus, which is very convenient.<\/p>\n  <p>On the other hand, there are <span>three<\/span> points to keep in mind when choosing this plan.<\/p>\n  <p>First, the arrival time in Osaka is inconsistent. It is heavily affected by traffic congestion on the Hanshin Expressway, resulting in frequent delays to the scheduled arrival time.<span><br\/><\/span> Although the train is scheduled to arrive at Osaka Station at <span>6:09<\/span> <span>PM<\/span> according to the timetable, we recommend allowing at least <span>an<\/span> hour of buffer time in your schedule.<\/p>\n  <p>Secondly, the last direct bus departs about six hours earlier than the one that requires a transfer at Maiko.<br\/> While the simple fact that you have less time to play is a significant drawback, Nijigen no Mori also has attractions that are only available after sunset, such as the &#8220;Night Walk.&#8221; In the case of this return plan using the direct bus, even on the earliest sunset day in December (around 4:50 PM), the bus departure time is earlier than the start time of the Night Walk, so you won&#8217;t be able to enjoy the Night Walk if you use the direct bus. Also, if you want to fully enjoy large attractions such as &#8220;Dragon Quest Island,&#8221; you should allow around 2 to 4 hours, and in that case, it would be safer to limit yourself to about two attractions.<\/p>\n  <p><span>The third<\/span> point is that, similar to the outbound journey, the route changes during certain periods, such as Golden Week.<\/p>\n  <p><span><a href=\"https:\/\/nijigennomori.com\/2023\/04\/23\/access\/\">https:\/\/nijigennomori.com\/2023\/04\/23\/access\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n  <p>During certain periods, the bus will stop at Awaji <span>IC<\/span> , a highway bus terminal, instead of Nijigen no Mori (Highway Oasis).<\/p>\n  <div class=\"map\">\n    <h4 id=\"m006\">Map: Awaji IC (Bus)<\/h4>\n    <iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m18!1m12!1m3!1d3284.841306105393!2d135.013528476407!3d34.58288178952431!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!3m3!1m2!1s0x600082be2e0f923f%3A0xcc4f9342c52e1dc1!2z5reh6Lev77yp77yj77yI44OQ44K577yJ!5e0!3m2!1sja!2sjp!4v1688626379389!5m2!1sja!2sjp\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe>\n  <\/div>\n  <p>During this period, you will need to take the free shuttle bus &#8220;PASONA Shuttle Bus&#8221; operated by the Pasona Group from &#8220;Nijigen no <span>Mori F<\/span> Parking Lot&#8221; to &#8220;Awaji IC&#8221;.

Also, you should definitely use the restroom before the park closes. Furthermore, the convenience store inside Maiko Station seems to close at <span>11<\/span> PM, so assume that you won&#8217;t be able to buy anything along the way.<\/p>\n  <p>Also, if you walk from the park&#8217;s closing time of <span>10<\/span> PM to Awaji <span>Interchange<\/span> , the next bus is at <span>11:05<\/span> <span>PM<\/span> . There will be a considerable gap in time. Depending on the season, there can be temperature changes between day and night, so please be sure to dress appropriately and bring something to wear over your clothes when you visit the park.<\/p>\n  <p>While not highly recommended, some people might try to catch the 11:05 PM express bus departing from Awaji IC from the start. In that case, Nijigen no Mori&#8217;s A parking lot is the closest to Awaji IC. If you use the buses for getting around the park during the night walk, getting off at A parking lot will shorten your walk to Awaji IC.<\/p>\n  <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n  <div class=\"border\">\n    <h2 id=\"h009\">Final return trip plan (extra): Calling a taxi<\/h2>\n    <p>If you take a taxi directly back to Osaka, it seems it will cost tens of thousands of yen, including the late-night surcharge. If that&#8217;s acceptable to you, I recommend calling the dispatch center of a taxi company on Awaji Island.<\/p>\n    <p>As of <span>June<\/span> <span>2023<\/span> , most taxi apps do not seem to cover Awaji Island. Therefore, if you want to take a taxi, you only have two options: call a dispatch center or hail an empty taxi. Since empty taxis are rare on Awaji Island, calling a dispatch center is generally recommended.<\/p>\n    <p>As a second option, you could take a taxi to Maiko Station and then take <span>the JR train<\/span> home.<\/p>\n    <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n    <div class=\"map\">\n      <h4 id=\"m008\">Route: Nijigen no Mori F Parking Lot -&gt; JR Maiko Station (travel by car)<\/h4>\n      <iframe width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" style=\"border: 0;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/maps\/embed?pb=!1m28!1m12!1m3!1d52533.54663509227!2d134.9930269673622!3d34.620678858571466!2m3!1f0!2f0!3f0!3m2!1i1024!2i768!4f13.1!4m13!3e0!4m5!1s0x600082a01b69dbb1%3A0x2f6715b0adc9a761!2z5YW15bqr55yM5reh6Lev5biC5qWg5pysIOecjOeri-a3oei3r-WztuWFrOWcku-8iOODkOOCue-8iQ!3m2!1d34.5760357!2d135.00061549999998!4m5!1s0x60008233c83af0c9%3A0x89f147232614abd2!2z5YW15bqr55yM56We5oi45biC5Z6C5rC05Yy65p2x6Iie5a2Q55S677yTIOiInuWtkOmnhQ!3m2!1d34.633506499999996!2d135.0338008!5e0!3m2!1sja!2sjp!4v1688632310997!5m2!1sja!2sjp\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" loading=\"lazy\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\"><\/iframe>\n    <\/div>\n    <p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n    <p>In terms of cost, according to estimates I found on <span>NAVITIME<\/span> , it&#8217;s possible to reduce the cost to about <span>1\/2<\/span> to <span>1\/3<\/span> of what it would cost to take a taxi directly back to Osaka.<\/p>\n    <p>It takes about <span>30<\/span> to <span>40<\/span> minutes by taxi from Nijigen no Mori <span>F<\/span> parking lot to Maiko Station.

Hello. This is Nijigen no Mori. I&#8217;ve heard that it&#8217;s difficult to find a way to get to Nijigen no Mori on Awaji Island without a car. *If traveling by car, it will take approximately one hour, although this may vary depending on the time of day. First of all, the main ways to get to Awaji Island are by road and ferry; there are no train lines and no nearby train station. While express buses depart from various locations in the Kansai region, the buses are a mix of those going to different destinations, and even among buses heading towards Awaji Island, some will reach Nijigen no Mori, while others will not. The extremely complex transfer routes are likely the reason why planning a route is difficult. This article will introduce the best routes for those who want to enjoy Nijigen no Mori on a day trip from Osaka, including the outbound and return journeys.
