Same-day booking
Bookings for same-day departures close at 18:00 Japan time (17:00 Beijing time). After the cutoff, same-day departures can no longer be purchased.
Whether a booking is possible before the cutoff still depends on seat availability and sales status — searching early is recommended.
Refunds and changes
Most overnight bus departures do not allow changes — to switch dates or departures, you usually need to cancel under the applicable rules and book again; whether a specific departure can be changed follows the rules shown on the order page.
Cancellations incur fees; exact amounts, deadlines and conditions follow the order terms. Prices and availability may differ when rebooking.
Service notes
Xingniao Bus is a Chinese search and booking service, not the bus carrier; actual transport on its routes is currently provided by the carrier VIP LINER (VIPLINER, operated by Japan’s Heisei Enterprise, 平成エンタープライズ), with more Japan bus operators to be added.
Service alerts are provided via the order page, email and in-app notifications based on the information received. Before departure, check the latest updates yourself — suspensions, stop changes and operations follow carrier notices.
This is a WeChat mini-program; there is no separate app-store listing.
