Another bus stop sign near Tsurukawa, then a bus stop in Arakawa, followed by closeups of its signs--you can see two different bus companies stop there.pic.twitter.com/yxKaAmcyXq

Sign from the 2nd operator: this is a neighborhood circulator, aimed esp at serving the elderly or young children. It's a small vehicle making two one-way loops connected by a two-way segment. Because it stays in a small area, it's a flat fare ($2.10 adult, $1.00 child)pic.twitter.com/PlA1khkr9v
The wheelchair ramp on this bus is stored underneath the boarding door--if someone needs it, the driver hops out and sets the ramp up manually. It seems like a hassle, but it's faster than the annoying beeping mechanical ramps that are common in buses here.pic.twitter.com/1KarkT87r1
a couple more signs, one from JR Hokkaido Bus in Sapporo, and the other from Seibu Bus in suburban Tokyo #bustwitterpic.twitter.com/Rs5ZUEbOM1
Detail of a Tachikawa Bus sign--from top to bottom, you have: - operator - stop name - routes and destinations - timetable - route diagram (also shows how much you'll pay depending on how far down the route you get off, and whether you use cash or an IC card!)pic.twitter.com/esBLRLxzjM
Detail of a Seibu Bus sign: - operator - stop name - next stop - routes/destinations - ...something about IC cards - timetable (weekday in blue, weekend/holiday in pink) - route diagram with fares ($1.80~2.20 depending on distance)pic.twitter.com/Ae4hzombP5

Nice maps and information on display at the Gifu Station bus terminal, all under the watchful eye of Oda Nobunagapic.twitter.com/nuZAjsIgqR
Inside the bus--some single seats, mostly double seats. You can barely make out the fare table in the first pic, at the very front just above the windshield. I got out at a typical-looking stop, across the street from Nobunaga's castle...pic.twitter.com/bj0ue5YygG
The bus stop for the return trip had a nice shelter with the Oda crest on it. Grab a ticket from the machine by the door as you enter, then when it's time to get off, pay the fare (displayed next to your ticket number on the screen at the front of the bus) as you leave.pic.twitter.com/eTMjoQ6wOd

Anyway. Let's jump back to that first bus stop in the thread to wrap up: how far away is that village from a train station? The nearest station is Hon-Atsugi on the Odakyu Line, a major hub, a half-hour ride from that bus stop, leaving every 20 minutes!https://twitter.com/380kmh/status/1037709078317985793 …
