JR Kyushu Bus announced on the 13th that it has introduced Nishikawa bedding products, favored by baseball star Shohei Ohtani, into its crew rest areas. In late February, all their offices across five locations, including Fukuoka and Kagoshima Prefectures, were equipped with Nishikawa’s “Air 03” mattresses and “Air 4D” pillows. This initiative aims to improve the quality of rest for the crew members, primarily engaged in long-distance highway bus routes, thereby enhancing safe operation. The Nishikawa bedding, known for its use by Major League Baseball player Shohei Ohtani, has reportedly received positive feedback from the bus crews, noting reduced physical strain and alleviated neck and back pain.
