GOOD TO KNOW
A smoother trip starts here.
Simple answers for your everyday IUJ shuttle journey.
Arrive five minutes early
Stop times are approximate. Kodomo-en service at times in parentheses requires an advance request before the bus leaves IUJ.
Maximum 32 riders
The IUJ bus capacity is 32 passengers, including babies. If the bus reaches capacity, take the next departure.
Gyomu Super departures
The first Sunday shopping bus now leaves IUJ at 09:25. Six outbound departures are listed in this timetable.
Snow and severe weather
Road conditions in Niigata may delay the shuttle. The weather card uses a live forecast; it cannot confirm service operation.
Weekend seating priority
Some shopping departures prioritize off-campus families, SD4 residents, or on-campus residents. Check the assigned ticket and boarding priority.
