From Okayama Station to Uno Station

 

1. By JR Train (590 yen/ 42 – 54min/ departs every an hour or less. Timetable)

 

 

A direct Uno Line to the Uno Station runs about once an hour from 5:49 AM until 11:24 PM (except from 8 AM – 2 PM). Even if you missed a direct Uno Line, you can take Seto-Ohashi line (incl. Marine Liner, the express), which runs about every 20 min, to the Chayamachi Station, then easy-transfer (just across the platform) to the Uno line to the last stop, Uno Station. Many of you may already have JR Passes, so why not?

 

2. By Ryobi Express Bus (660 yen/ 50 – 60 min~/ departs every 20 min to 30 min Timetable)

 

The bus terminal is located at the East Exit of the Okayama Station. Look for Gate #3 where the Uno-bound Express buses (it’s in Rainbow color) come in.
Make sure to ask the driver “Express to Uno?” before riding. Also ask the driver to let you know when the bus arrives at Uno Station. JR PASS is not valid.

 

 

Tip: Take a paper ticket at the steps when you get on the bus, pay exact change when you get off. Don’t worry even if you don’t have small change. A coin changing machine next to the driver works at all times during the ride.

 

3. By Taxi (about 7,000~10,000 yen/ 30 – 40 min ~ /departs anytime at your request)
