Night Bus - Osaka to Yokohama/Tokyo

[Harvey]

Hello, does anyone know where I should call to arrange a night bus from Osaka to Tokyo or Kyoto ?

Looking for the cheapest way to travel there.

Japanese only is OK.

I used bus from Osaka to Tokyo a few times; although seats are quite small and you might need to stretch once in a while to get comfortable, it is a cheap way to travel.

I just went to one of the train stations in Osaka that sold the tickets and bought it the day before I traveled. I never had to call ahead or make a reservation.

Here is another site I found.

My little sister once talked about Night bus and it was too small. She said she never ride it.

Then how does she know it's too small?

is it advisable to travel in coach from tokyo to osaka or get the JR pass to get from tokyo to osaka?

Is JR pass advantageous?
This is connected with a plan of a trip.

An advantage of a night travel bus can save lodging costs.
A fault gets tired very much.

hmm if i get the JR pass .. it will cost 28300 yen and i will get 7 days pass for any JR transport... except for Nozomi trains.... it seems like the night buses are cheap too... but i worry it's so tiring and we need to rest more and wasted a day too...
hmm the link you provided is helpful but i'm a little confused about the train.... because they show me alot of other stations too

can i check how to reserve tickets for the night coach by JR ? i can't anywhere to email them...
Anywhere i can leave my luggage anywhere while waiting for my night coach?? I will reach Tokyo about 2pm and will take the night coach at about 10pm..

hi guys..

i am going to japan at the beginning of october.. i am so exited ^^ but i have problem on my first day arrival, haha..

My flight arrive in Osaka international airport at 18.50pm, and i have to go to Tokyo straight away.
The destination in Tokyo is NISHI-IKEBUKURO TOSHIMA-KU.

I am stress now, because i totally have no idea what should i do after i step my foot in osaka..
Please let me know step by step (for example: from osaka airport i have to take "what" bus to "what" place, then, bla bla..........)

Shinkansen or night bus will do..
do i need to make a reservation? how to do it?

But i heard that the last shinkansen to Tokyo is 9pm, i am afraid i cannot make it..

Thank you

Thanks
