Charter buses: own coach operations plus a nationwide network of 1,000+ licensed bus operators
OlaChill combines its own coach operations with access to a nationwide network of 1,000+ licensed bus operators across Japan. Coverage across all 47 prefectures of Japan. Our own licensed operation is based in Osaka and runs buses under 9 m (small and mid-size). Full-size 45–60-seat coaches, and trips outside the Osaka operating area, are arranged through the nationwide operator network. Own operations: Hourai Co., Ltd. (宝来株式会社) · 一般貸切旅客自動車運送事業 licence 近運自一第1017号 (Kinki District Transport Bureau) · Osaka. Standard terms: a 10% deposit secures your bus and the remaining 90% is paid at pickup. An agreed B2B or custom quotation may set different terms — your quotation states the terms that apply. Applies to 29, 45 and 60-seat buses; Toyota Alphard bookings follow the private-car payment shown when you book.
