Pickup points and meeting tips
- Schools should specify the authorised bus boarding area at the school gate or a nearby main road.
- For Shin-Osaka hotels on the ward’s side of the station, name the hotel and its entrance.
- Streets around Awaji Station are narrow and busy with local traffic; agree a main-road meeting point rather than the station front.
Vehicle access
Narrow residential streets dominate, so vans and minibuses are the most flexible. Full-size coaches should board on arterial roads or at school grounds that allow bus entry.
School groups should specify the authorized school bus boarding area.
Luggage
Sports clubs carry kit bags and equipment; a minibus has no under-floor hold, so choose a coach when gear is bulky.
