Japanese Bus Stops

One of 16 fruit and vegetable themed bus stops in Japan


Saw these bus stops on a website dedicated to anything cute! These bus stops definitely make waiting for the bus stop a little less annoying. I'd rather sit in a giant fruit on a hot summer day than sit on a bench with the sun beaming down on my face. The windows on the sides are also so cute.

"In the Japanese town of Konagai, (part of Isahaya

City) along the road you’ll find 16 of these fruit stops, built in the shape of strawberries, melons, watermelons, oranges and tomatoes.

According to the Isahaya City web site, the creators got the idea for these unusual shapes from the famous story of Cinderella where the carriage turns into a pumpkin." -Brooke Janssens
