Monbetsu/Mombetsu to Abashiri bus

Hello,

Does anyone know of a direct bus going from Monbetsu/Mombetsu to Abashiri? We will be travelling on February 13th. I'm finding it difficult to get specific information about this.

Thanks in advance,

Jem

There is no direct bus service from Mambetsu to Abashiri. However there is this temporary bus service, Eastern Hokkaido Express Bus.
