観光バス記念日(kanko basu kinenbi): Anniversary of sightseeing bus

They say December 15 is the anniversary of sightseeing bus. On December 15, 1925 the first sightseeing bus business started in Tokyo. There were one day tour, two days tour, and three days tour.
When you do not have enough time or proper transportation, the sightseeing bus is a good way to see around the city.
The most impressive sightseeing bus I had ever taken was in the Yellowstone National Park in the USA in the early summer of 1996, because there was only one passenger, that is me, in a big bus. I was worried if they really had the service. But I had a very good time there.
