On July 25, Nishi Nippon Railroad Co., Ltd. (Nishitetsu) announced the launch of a first-class sightseeing bus tour brand for Kyushu and Yamaguchi. To meet the increasing demand for “experiences” rather than “goods,” Grandays tours will begin in October 2019, using a vehicle designed exclusively for the new brand. Twelve seats are spatially arranged in a 2 x 6 layout with storage made of traditional Okawa woodcraft in front of each seat. Tour prices range between ¥30,000 to ¥100,000 per person for a day trip and a two-day trip with accommodation. Source: Nishitetsu, 7/25/2019
