Iga Ueno’s moving castle
| Tweet |
Four, unique trucks from four different Iga-city-based transport companies do more than just deliver their goods all over Japan, they are also official tourism ambassadors of their home town(s). They all look fantastic, so be sure to click on this (pic pop-up) to see all four in their funky livery.
The four trucks
The first of the trucks has a Matsuo Bashō theme. Bashō being the name of a master Edo-period poet. The second truck displays a scene from the local Tenjin festival. The third truck depicts Tōdō Takatora’s Iga Ueno Castle. And, the last truck promotes the famous Iga Ninja.
It’s been over a year since I first became aware of the travelling billboards of Iga (Mie Pref). I would’ve written a post about it back then, but I couldn’t get pictures and thought I never would. This all changed the other day though. I was on the way home from work on Kyūshū’s route 3 and saw one of the afore mentioned funky trucks. Luckily for me it was the castle truck.
