How to ride this DMV
1. Board at Awa-Kainan (unstaffed)
- The DMV has only 18 seats. Reserving online (Hassha Orai Net, 発車オ～ライネット) is recommended if you need a particular trip; without a reservation you can board only if a seat is free. Phone reservations are not accepted.
- Wait at the DMV stop or platform for your direction. The DMV has a single door on the left side in the direction of travel.
- Passengers with reservations board first: tell the driver your seat number and name.
- Without a reservation: always ask the driver whether you can board (seats may be reserved further along), and tell the driver your destination. If the DMV is full, you cannot board.
- Take a numbered ticket (整理券 seiriken). None is issued at the first stop.
- At the terminal stops (Awa-Kainan Bunka Mura, Michi no Eki Shishikui Onsen) wait a while after arrival before boarding: the DMV is prepared for the next trip.
2. On the DMV
Keep the 整理券 you took when you boarded until you get off.
Example numbered ticket. Your number matches a row on the 運賃表 fare display.
Get off at the station with this sign: Muroto Global Geopark Center.
3. Get off at Muroto Global Geopark Center
- Pay at the end of the ride: put your 整理券 and the fare in cash into the fare box (coupon tickets and special tickets are also accepted). IC cards, e-money and credit cards cannot be used.
- There is no change machine on board; the driver gives change, but please have the exact fare if you can.
- With a reservation, show your 整理券 and your mobile ticket. If you rode beyond the reserved section, show the mobile ticket and pay the difference.
- At Shishikui Station, pay or show your ticket to staff at the ground-floor gate window instead of the fare box.
