"Izu no Odoriko", named after a Japanese novel written by Yasunari Kawabata, "The Dancing Girl of Izu", is a Isuzu BXD30 type bus made in 1964 and has been in service for the tourists since 1976. Recently, the bus is almost in chartered service and retired from regular service, but on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays in April, 2019, the bus is in special service between Shuzenji Station and Shuzenji Hot Spring as a part of "Shizuoka Destination Campaign".
Though I didn't live in the time that many bonnet-style buses in service, I would like to see the one directly.
I shot some pictures of the bus not only in full colour, but also in sepia to create a nostalgic atmosphere.
