New Direct Night Bus Service Launching

Beginning from November 25, 2023, travelers can enjoy a new night bus service known as the "VIP Liner Kanazawa-Centrair route." Operated by Heisei Enterprises, this service will directly connect Kanazawa and Toyama to Centrair International Airport, eliminating the need for transfers and making late-night and early-morning flights more accessible.

Heisei Enterprises, headquartered in Shiki City, Saitama, specializes in various transportation services including highway buses and day trip tours. With this new route, passengers traveling from Toyama and Kanazawa to Centrair International Airport will benefit from a streamlined travel experience without the hassle of multiple transfers typically associated with train services like the Shinkansen.

Advantages of the New Bus Service

Traveling by the VIP Liner not only reduces travel time but also creates an economical and convenient alternative to train travel, which often requires transfers that can extend journey times. The introduction of night bus services is particularly significant as it marks an industry-first direct connection between the Hokuriku region and Centrair Airport.

Passengers can choose from various departure times, including late-night and early-morning options, thereby accommodating a wide range of travel plans—from spontaneous trips to pre-scheduled flights. The service also offers additional amenities, such as onboard charging ports, restroom facilities, and comfortable seating arrangements, ensuring a pleasant journey.
