School bus usage information
Notes on using school buses
To use the school bus, you must complete a school bus use application at the club reception.
When using the school bus, you can only get on and off on the days, times, routes, and stops that you have applied for.
Please note that you cannot ride the bus on an individual basis depending on the weather (such as only riding when it rains).
Please be sure to understand the following points and inform your child accordingly.
At the bus stop
-
Please note that the arrival time may be delayed due to traffic conditions, etc.
-
Please allow about 5 minutes to wait at the bus stop.
Furthermore, we will not depart earlier than the specified time. -
The school bus will always stop at the designated stops, but will depart if there are no children present at the scheduled time.
-
When waiting at a bus stop, please wait in a single line so as not to cause inconvenience to neighbors or other pedestrians.
-
Please wait for the school bus with your membership card ready and your school bag on your shoulder until it arrives.
-
When the school bus arrives, please raise your hand to let the driver know.
Do not approach a school bus until it has stopped. -
When boarding a school bus, please give priority to passengers getting off before boarding.

Precautions when getting on and off the train
-
You cannot get on or off at any bus stop other than the one you applied for.
When you get off the school bus, please wait there until the bus departs.
*Please inform parents that there is a risk of children jumping out in front or behind a stopped school bus and getting into an oncoming vehicle, so please make sure to tell your children to be very careful.
Notes and Guidance for Parents
-
Please be sure to wait at the drop-off side when picking up your child.
*If you wait on the opposite side of the road from the bus stop, your child may cross the road, which is very dangerous. -
Parents may only ride with children on the infant course.
*When joining as a first grade elementary school student, a parent or guardian may accompany the child until they become accustomed to riding the bus. However, we may refuse this request if the bus is at full capacity. -
Please note that service may be suspended suddenly.
*If service is suspended due to bad weather, breakdowns, road conditions, etc., we will notify you via app notifications and email distribution services. -
Various procedures for using school buses
*Applications for cancellation or changes to the day, time or route must be completed at the club reception by the end of the month.
Other notes
-
Once practice is over, please change clothes and get on the bus. The bus departs every hour at 45 minutes past the hour.
In particular, if you are using a return bus only, please be careful not to miss it. -
If you suddenly have to miss the bus because a parent or guardian has to pick up your child, please be sure to inform a club staff member or driver before the school bus departs and collect your membership card.
-
If you are only riding the return bus, please present your membership card at reception before joining the practice.
