Join us for another “bus team versus train team” race. This time, the two teams will start from Kumamoto Castle in Kumamoto Prefecture and head to the goal, Hirado Castle in Nagasaki Prefecture, which is more than 200km away. The teams will be allowed to make shortcuts by taking ferries, an essential means of transport in Kyushu, as long as the rides are under 10,000 yen.
The bus team wants to first get to Kumamoto Station, 2km away, to gather information about bus routes. They find a bus which leaves at 11am for the Sakura Town Bus Terminal, from where they can transfer buses and go to Kumamoto Station. The bus team, meanwhile, takes the bus near Kumamoto Castle, thinking it will go directly to the bus terminal. Unfortunately, the bus ends up circling around Kumamoto Castle. It passes the bus terminal, stops at the entrance of the castle again and will wait for five minutes before heading back to the terminal. The team decides it would be faster to walk to Sakura Town. At the bus terminal, they ask about getting to Arao. They are told to take the 11.
In the meantime, the bus team has reached Tamana Station. They are now trailing behind the train team. They go to the Arao Bus Centre and must wait 40 minutes for the bus that goes near the first checkpoint. While they wait, they grab a quick lunch of ramen with rich pork bone soup topped with garlic. They then catch the bus and after making enquiries, find out that the nearest bus stop to Greenland is the Arao City Mall one.
