Mitsubishi Fuso Aero Star #6286
15 february 2019 - Himeji (Hyōgo Pref.), Ekimaechō (兵庫県姫路市駅前町), bus terminal area outside Himeji station.39: 姫路駅北口 (Himeji Station North Exit) → 龍野 (Tatsuno)
Today`s very random series is not motivated by location, but by bus type. Mitsubishi Fusō Aero Star is after all a rather rare model amongst Japanese city bus operators in recent years - given that the market is dominated by Isuzu Erga slash Hino Blue Ribbon (they`re the same thing...). Meanwhile this manufacturer will appear in Tōkyō (or rather in the state operations) for the first time in eight years, given its winning of a tender for supply of 140 buses. Other operators around Tōkyō don`t have the model seen in the photo in large quanities either (Tōbu doesn`t seem to have anything, the other major operators in rather small numbers), so this series is primarily from outside of the capital.

Hino PB-HR7JHA Rainbow HR #29573
15 february 2019 - Himeji (Hyōgo Pref.), Ekimaechō, Ōtemae-dōri extension (兵庫県姫路市駅前町).13: 姫路駅北口 (Himeji Station North Exit) → 田寺北口 (Tadera North Entrance)
As far as I noted, Shinki Bus is the main bus service provider in Himeji. Its network of over 50 routes is concentranted on the main Himeji railway station. The network is accessible insofar that route numbers don`t contain kanji characters - however, to counterbalance, the company employs a particularly strange fleet number system. For example here, the combination of the first digit (2) and the bus being a Hino means that the 95 in the middle stands for a bus... produced in 2005.

Hino KL-HU2PMEE Blue Ribbon City Non-Step #6672
15 february 2019 - Himeji (Hyōgo Pref.), Honmachi, Otemae-dōri (兵庫県姫路市本町大手前通り). In the background we have the world-famous Himeji Castle (姫路城). Built between 1333 and 1346, it has been associated with the Japanese government since 1580, and on the UNESCO World Heritage index since 1993. It`s located bang on in the city centre - a mere 15 minute walk from the main railway station. The highest-located spaces offer an excellent panorama view of the city. As for the photo itself, what else could have arrived than an out of service bus...
