Hi everyone, I have been lurking this sub ever since I started planning our honeymoon. You guys are so amazing and helpful it’s been a great experience being on this sub.
I have a question regarding Bus service from Kansai to Tokushima, can someone explain the process on where to take the bus and link me a website for online booking? Is it better to take the Bus from Osaka or Kobe? I keep finding conflicting info online and I can’t seem to find the correct Bus company website to order tickets, most of them are 3rd party sites. Also should I start booking my shinkansen / bus tickets now? I have all of my hotels booked already.
