申し訳ありません、千円札のみの対応となっております。
もうしわけありません、せんえんさつのみのたいおうとなっております。
I'm sorry, it only accepts 1,000 yen bills.
Gesture & etiquette
Hold up a 5,000 yen bill slightly to show the driver while asking.
Most local buses in Japan do not accept 5,000 or 10,000 yen bills for change. Trying to use large bills when paying can delay the bus. Always carry 1,000 yen bills or use an IC card.
