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&#8217;s elevated seating will give riders a different perspective on the arcade&#8217;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. <strong>Source:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tvq.co.jp\/news\/news.html?did=2026082100000001\" target=\"_blank\">TVQ News<\/a> \/ <a href=\"https:\/\/www.city.kitakyushu.lg.jp\/yahatanishi\/w6100335.html\" target=\"_blank\">Kitakyushu City<\/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\/2026\/08\/fnn_kitakyushu-open-top-bus_2026_WEB.jpeg?resize=1400%2C1050&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"1400\" height=\"1050\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-179300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/fnn_kitakyushu-open-top-bus_2026_WEB.jpeg?w=1400&amp;ssl=1 1400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/fnn_kitakyushu-open-top-bus_2026_WEB.jpeg?resize=300%2C225&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/fnn_kitakyushu-open-top-bus_2026_WEB.jpeg?resize=1024%2C768&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.fukuoka-now.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/fnn_kitakyushu-open-top-bus_2026_WEB.jpeg?resize=768%2C576&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><br \/>\nPhoto: Fukuoka Now<\/p>\n<p>Get Fukuoka and Kyushu\u2019s top stories delivered to your inbox.
