New plan
- SUSHI BUS and Japanese tourism and transport company WILLER ACROSS plan to launch the service in Tokyo in October.
- The open-top double-decker will feature a working sushi conveyor belt and tour sites including Shibuya, Ginza and Asakusa.
Tokyo is preparing to put a sushi restaurant on wheels. The new SUSHI BUS will let passengers eat sushi from a real conveyor belt while touring the city.
SUSHI BUS and Japanese tourism and transport company WILLER ACROSS jointly developed the open-top double-decker. The service is scheduled to begin regular operations in October, and the companies say this format is the first of its kind in the world.
Sushi prepared in the kitchen on the first floor will travel by lift to the second floor, where staff will place it on the rotating rail. Passengers will ride for about 70 minutes and enjoy unlimited sushi.
The bus will depart from and return to the Kajibashi parking area near Tokyo Station. Rather than traveling to a single destination, it will pass major sights such as Shibuya Scramble Crossing, Ginza and Kaminarimon in Asakusa. The experience is designed not only for eating and sightseeing, but also as a spectacle for people watching from outside.
