Double decker bus (british style) tour?

Postby soulkraka » Thu Mar 02, 2006 1:30 am

hey all

I've seen a double decker bus in the nihonbashi area a couple of times that has cafe inside (round tables, as opposed to regular tour bus seats) and is open rooftop. Ive been googling around but cant seem to find any info.

anyone know what company this is?

No worries.

I can't enter kana on the work computer but did try a few romaji combos (or I should call it "romanji" if GG is watching as I know she loves it when people put the "n" in! ]double decker bus tokyo[/B]" where the 2nd-last "hit" was the following review from asahi.com dated 24 September 2005:

Weekend Beat/Double-decker bar on wheels brings drinking to new level

They look fun.

Cheers
