Can you guess what is this melon shaped object for?
A hint is that you can see it along a road.
We’ll give you a few seconds for preparing your answer.

Time is up.


The answer is a bus stop.
Was your answer right?


Aside from the melon shaped one, there are four different ones, including strawberry, watermelon, orange and tomato(See the photo below).
It’s located along National Route 207 in Konagai, Isahaya city, Nagasaki prefecture. 
Actually, these four fruits and one vegetable are Konagai’s special products.
FYI, there are 16 bus stops in total in the town.
The idea came from the Pumpkin Carriage of Cinderella.


This place become popular because you could take instagrammable  and scenic photos.
Since these are located near the ocean, we believe you may take beautiful photos.
We’ll yield this opportunity to you.
Which one do you like the best?

FYI: This is fish shaped bus stop or waiting room./おまけ: 魚型のバス待合室

このメロンの形をしたオブジェの用途は分かりますか。
ヒントは、道路に沿って見られます。
ちょっと考える時間を数秒差し上げましょう。


3秒、
2秒、
1秒。
時間です。

答えは、バス停です。
貴方の答えと合っていましたか。

メロン型バス停以外に、苺、スイカ、みかん、トマトの4種類あります(上記写真参照)。
長崎県諫早市小長井町の国道207号線沿いにあります。
これら5種類の果物と野菜は、小長井町の特産品です。
因みに、町には全部で16箇所のフルーツ型バス停があります。
このアイデアは、シンデレラのカボチャの馬車からヒントを得たそうです。

この場所は、インスタ映えする景色の良い写真が撮れることから有名になりました。
海岸沿いのため、とても美しい写真が撮れることでしょう。
その機会は貴方にお譲りします。
どれが一番好きですか。
