If your bus ticket says Bus Terminal Tokyo Yaesu, do not simply walk to the first bus stop you see outside Tokyo Station. As of 2026, Bus Terminal Tokyo Yaesu has two separate areas: A and B.
Before leaving Tokyo Station, check your ticket or reservation and confirm whether your bus departs from:
- Bus Terminal Tokyo Yaesu A
- Bus Terminal Tokyo Yaesu B
The two areas are close to Tokyo Station, but they are different boarding locations.

Traveling After 11:00 PM?
Be especially careful after 11:00 PM.
Some underground passageways around Yaesu are restricted from 11:00 PM, and the available routes become more limited.
After 11:00 PM, you cannot move between Bus Terminal Tokyo Yaesu A and B through the underground mall.
If you need to move between A and B late at night, use the ground-level route.
Routes become even more restricted after midnight, so allow extra time if you are taking a late-night bus.
Check the latest official access information before traveling.

A and B Are Different Boarding Areas
This is one of the most important things to remember.
Bus Terminal Tokyo Yaesu A and Bus Terminal Tokyo Yaesu B are separate boarding areas.
Before leaving Tokyo Station, check your ticket or confirmation email for:
- A or B
- service name
- service number
- departure time
- destination
Going to the wrong boarding area could cost you valuable time before your bus departs.
Not Every Yaesu Bus Leaves from Bus Terminal Tokyo Yaesu
There are several bus boarding locations around Tokyo Station.
In particular, these are not Bus Terminal Tokyo Yaesu:
- Tokyo Station Yaesu South Exit (JR Highway Bus Stop)
- Tokyo Station Yaesu-dori
If either of these names appears as the departure point on your ticket, do not go to Bus Terminal Tokyo Yaesu.
Always check the exact departure point written on your ticket or reservation.
This is especially important because several bus boarding areas are located close to one another around the Yaesu side of Tokyo Station.
The official boarding guide also advises passengers to confirm that their ticket is for a service departing from Bus Terminal Tokyo Yaesu.
