In late February, all their offices across five locations, including Fukuoka and Kagoshima Prefectures, were equipped with Nishikawa&#8217;s &#8220;Air 03&#8221; mattresses and &#8220;Air 4D&#8221; 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. <\/span><b>Source:<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jrkyushu.co.jp\/news\/__icsFiles\/afieldfile\/2024\/03\/13\/240313_JRkyushubus_suiminkaizen_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">JR Kyushu<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> \/ <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/rkb.jp\/contents\/202403\/202403130618\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">RKB<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/fnn_jr-kyushu-bus-wikimedia_2024_cl.jpeg?resize=1400%2C933&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"JR Kyushu Bus Upgrades Crew Rest with Ohtani-Endorsed Bedding\" width=\"1400\" height=\"933\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-160899\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/fnn_jr-kyushu-bus-wikimedia_2024_cl.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/fnn_jr-kyushu-bus-wikimedia_2024_cl.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/fnn_jr-kyushu-bus-wikimedia_2024_cl.jpeg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/fnn_jr-kyushu-bus-wikimedia_2024_cl.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/>Wikimedia Commons<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Stay informed with the latest Fukuoka &amp; Kyushu news and events in English.
