Japanese country bus: small buses are needed for Japan's narrow mountain roads

---

Shorter, narrower buses are needed for operations in smaller rural towns and country areas in Japan, due to the narrowness of the streets and sharp bends on the country lanes. This example is operated by Nara Kotsu, and is seen here at Shimoichiguchi station in the mountainous south of Nara Prefecture.
