16 october 2018 - Tōkyō, Toshima-ku, Nishi-ikebukuro 1-chōme (東京都豊島区西池袋１丁目), Ikebukuro-eki Nishi-guchi bus terminal main section.
池21 (ike-21): 池袋駅西口 (Ikebukuro Station West Exit) → 高島平駅 (Takashimadaira Station)
Now that we are outside of the Yamanote line loop (and outside the Akabane, or rather Saikyō line axis), the number of buses operated by the metropolitan government drops a lot, even though there is still over 8 km left until the border of the 23 wards. Instead, bus transport in this area is dominated by an array of private companies, oftentimes associated with the private railway operators which have their lines or terminals nearby. Kokusai Kōgyō is an exception here - the company is not associated with any railway, despite a brief stint with Dai-tōkyū in the 1940s, as historically it was formed from mergers and splits of various private carriers in the Itabashi and Akabane areas. The operator currently has 10 garages spread around Tōkyō and Saitama prefecture. However logical it may be that the company spread out towards Saitama city (more or less along the already mentioned Saikyō line), its Hannō depot, detached from everything else, is quite curious (albeit historically justified), being in a typically Seibu area and what not.
