An open-top double-decker sightseeing bus will travel through the covered Kurosaki shopping arcade in Kitakyushu in September. The ride is part of a series of events aimed at attracting more visitors to the area around Kurosaki Station. Three trips are scheduled for September 13, with space for a total of 120 passengers. Organizers say the bus’s elevated seating will give riders a different perspective on the arcade’s height and scale as it passes beneath the roof. A separate event planned for October 11 will feature a Matsuken-themed parade with participation from local residents. Source: TVQ News / Kitakyushu City
