利木津午夜巴士(池袋)到底在哪! Where the hell is the midnight Limousine bus!?

搭乘廉價航空最令人頭痛的問題,無非是起飛時間。
這一篇重點介紹很多人可能都會選擇的利木津巴士!
相對於最後一班8pm-9pm從東京各大車站發車到成田的火車快線(到成田都還不到午夜 )
利木津 1am 於池袋/1:30am 新宿上車,3:30am抵達成田,時間和行程上的安排實能豐富許多!

The most hassle, irritating issue of taking the LCF is the Departure time. To take Limousine midnight could give you the chance using your time much better than taking the train and arrive Naraita airport before midnight (you will have at least 6 hours to kill).  Limousine midnight bus departs from Ikebukuro at 1am, reach Shinjuku at 1:30am for having more passengers on the bus, arrive at Narita at 3:30am.

但是!!!  沒有人喜歡拉著行李研究搭車地點!  偏偏利木津官方網站上的地圖實在是陽春到不行!
它們沒有針對午夜巴士乘坐地點給另一張地圖 (規律巴士只都在各大飯店門口接送)
為了減少大家時間的浪費,我認為這一篇文章實在很重要。however,為了美食 (無敵家拉麵,之後美食篇會介紹),我們這次是選擇到池袋西口搭車,如果有朋友要分享到新宿西口搭乘午夜的巴士經驗,也感激不盡!

ALTHOUGH! No one likes to drag luggage looking into the map for direction at midnight, does it?  On Limousine official website, it only shows their regular map for passengers getting on the bus from different hotels but not the midnight west exit one.   For saving everyone's ass and time, I have some more clear ideas of how you could get there easily from my experiences.  Shamelessly, I am only going to explain how to catch the bus from Ikebukuro west exit since our plan was to try the BEST ramen (the rumour says it).  If there is any friend would like to share the direction of Shinjuku midnight bus stop, I'd be thankful.    

1. 絕對記得要事先訂位 Book your seat IN ADVANCE

當初是擔心沒位置,請日本友人先電話訂位。結果當晚有2位台灣女生跟我們一起候車,她們沒訂位,巴士來了是空的(池袋第一站) 她們卻上不了車,最後得坐計程車去機車! (貴翻了)
請飯店人員或朋友在以下時間打電話到 +81-3-3665-7220 訂位。
星期一~星期五/9:00-19:00(JST)
星期六・休日/9:00-18:00(JST)
網站訂位需在日本境內 僅有日文操作介面 https://reservation.limousinebus.co.jp/web/

You may not be able to get on the bus without reservation.  After you enter Japan, please book your seat online: https://reservation.limousinebus.co.jp/web/   (so far,they only provide the booking system inside of Japan) or ask ur hotel to book a seat for u by calling +81-3-3665-7220 (Mon-Fri 9-7pm; Sat/Sun 9-6pm)

2. 巴士會提早5分鐘開始點名~最晚只延遲發車10鐘,請於10分鐘前到站等候 (00:50am)
Please notice that the coach may depart 5 mins early.  Make sure you have enough time to be there 10 mins before the departure time.

位置地圖解說 Coach Stop Location:




從池袋車站(地鐵丸之內線) 依照指示於西口出來後,請向左轉 沿著著名的西口公園方向
之後會看到一家麥當勞,再向右轉,再從前走一點,就能看到站牌,甚至是拉著行李也在等待的旅客。

tip:  如果我的指示可能不夠清楚,不確定方向的人從西口出來後右轉稍微往前走一點,會看到一個小小警察交番,裡面的警察都可以被詢問 (我就是這樣問來的)。



If you come out from Ikebukuro station on Tokyo Metro line.  Please follow the direction to go out from West exit.  Then Turn left right after you come out the exit follow the direction of famous Ikebukuro West Exit Park.  Then you will see a McDonald on your right hand side, just go ahead of McD then you will see the coach stop and maybe a few of waiting passengers with luggage.

tip:  If my direction is not clear enough to you.  After coming out from west exit at station, please turn right just a few steps of it.  There is a small police station there you could possibly get actual helps in person (like I did).
