Tansport series - extended Japanese bus

in #japan5 years ago

Hi Steemit Friends,

Tomica cars are popular in Japan. They have been producing various transport models since the 1970s and have continued to be an important part of the toy industry. They are all mostly diecast vehicles which are known to be heavy due to last longer than other cards on the market. The transport toy I would like the share is the extended Japanese bus.

Tomica cars are made with care and detailed. For instance, this bus has all the features the actual buses have in Japan. The display showing the destination and bus number on the top front and on the side. This bus is from the Keisei bus co division which was clearly printed on the bus and mainly serve the Toyko and Chiba areas for their citizens. Because of the number of population in those areas, extended buses are required to meet demand. The model itself has the exact connecting part where the two buses join.

At the bottom of each Tomica vehicle, they will print their name at the bottom, the name of the vehicle, the model of the vehicle etc. You can see all this information at the bottom. Due to the high quality of these cars, they are expensive but can be found in many reputable department stores and toys stores in Japan.
