From what I have observed, Yochien age school children only ride the school buses in Japan. Once children graduate from Yochien and start elementary school then they start to walk to school. The Yochien that I chose allows for children age 2 1/2 to 6 years old. For a long time I just dropped my children off at school. Many parents do this as well because there is a waiting list to be on the school bus. Then our opportunity came up to be able to have the children ride the school bus! We were excited. Why would we be excited to ride the school bus? These are not any old school buses. Yellow is not the only color on these school buses (some buses do not have the color yellow at all). When your school bus looks like a dinosaur from cartoons how can you not be excited to ride the school bus. All the school buses for the Yochien kids are adorable. Like I said my children’s school bus is shaped like a dinosaur. I have also seen a panda school bus, kitten school bus, train school bus, and polar bear school bus. WOW! School buses here are really cool. Such excitement and adventure just in riding the school bus to school.
You left out the bus that looks like a dalmation!
