Japan's first-ever conveyor-belt sushi bus is set to hit the streets of Tokyo later this month, offering a unique dining and sightseeing experience. The double-decker bus, operated by Willer Across, features a mobile sushi restaurant with conveyor belts running around the outside edge of its second-floor seating and eating area.
The bus's exterior design turns it into a giant piece of maguro (tuna) sushi, promising tourists that it's not just about the novelty factor but offering high-quality fish sourced directly from Tokyo's Toyosu Fish Market.
The starting point for the Sushi Bus is the Kajibashi bus terminal, located one block south of Tokyo Station, and the 70-minute route will pass by famous sightseeing spots, with speeds limited to around 30 kilometers per hour (19 miles per hour) to minimize motion sickness. Passengers can choose between regular seats and "Premium Seats" with an additional charge. The bus operates on an all-you-can-eat pricing model, with a base fare of 16,000 yen (US$100) per person, and the bus has a capacity of 20 passengers.
The Sushi Bus aims to cater to foreign tourists, as reflected in its AI-generated promotional materials. The bus is scheduled to begin operating on October 10, and reservations can be made online through the official website.
