Japanese term or phrase: 大分駅バス5分停歩4分
What exactly does "停歩" mean here. Does it indicate 5 min by bus and then 4 min walking distance.

5 minutes by bus and then 4 minutes by walking [on foot] from Oita Station

It would mean "take a bus for 5 minutes from Oita Station and then walk from the bus stop for 4 minutes".

I think that ¥"停歩¥" may be an abbreviation found in a real estate ad, and its meaning would be clear because of the power of Chinese characters.

agree  Katsunori Higuchi: I think "停歩”　is a wrong expression of "徒歩”, which means "on foot"

agree  Kurt Hammond: From Oita station, 4 minutes walking distance from the bus stop and 5 minutes by bus. This is one case where Japanese is definitely more concise and simpler to express than English :-) Agreed, it is obvious that the kanji is abbreviate for 停留所から歩い
