Bus fare is 5,500 yen per month (times 12 months). Bus passes can be purchased in installments of 3 month (18,150yen), 6 months (33,000yen) and 1-year (66,000yen).

3.Private Buses

Some parents gather like-minded members to operate private buses. In this case, the parents will be in charge, and the school will not take applications.

4.Commute by Bicycle (only for the Secondary School Students)

The secondary school students are allowed to commute by bicycle if the distance is within 4 km with school permission. Commutes exceeding 4km are possible with parents’ consent.
