21 school buses look like cute characters in Japan.

Every day, millions of children around the world take school transport to go to school. So to make this moment less gloomy, Japanese transport companies did not hesitate to completely transform their bus fleet so that each trip is a real adventure.

Indeed, several school transportation companies have decided to highlight the “kawaii universe,” very popular in Japan, which refers to the childish and cute aesthetic of Japanese pop culture. To do this, they have completely redesigned their buses with the effigies of famous cartoon characters such as Pikachu, Snoopy, Hello Kitty, Doraemon, or even emblematic animals.

With this kind of original concept, there is no doubt that the arrival at school is done in joy and good humor—to the point that we would even be a little jealous of these schoolchildren! Japan is never short of ideas when it comes to demonstrating originality, as it proves once again by honoring its local culture and what makes it famous in the service of a good cause.
