Vehicles The company primarily uses Hino Rainbow and Isuzu Erga models which are types of stage carriage buses, however, due to demand for sightseeing buses that require warm interiors in winter, the company also makes use of the Hino Selega, a type of sightseeing bus. The Isuzu Erga was introduced as a "two-seater" in 2012 as part of the company's efforts to improve accessibility for disabled passengers. The buses can be accessed via doors in the front and/or middle of the bus, with the exception of the "sightseeing buses" which only feature a door in the front.
