Tokyo’s public transportation system really is a thing of wonder, but personally, traveling by bus has never been a pleasant experience; traffic in the city can be pretty awful, plus I’m never completely sure if I’ve boarded the right vehicle or not. This latter problem in particular makes every journey feel like a magical mystery tour of sorts, which in some cases can be quite fun, but not when a specific destination, at a specified time, is the target.
Yet that said, if every journey involved views of lovingly recreated Kenyan mosques and really up close lions like this one, then I’d be inclined to get the bus a bit more often.

That’s reeaalllly close! =D
Lee says
Yes, thank god for reinforced glass! All joking aside, it was incredible to be so close to such an incredible beast. Beautiful and terrifying at the same time.

That photo would have been better if you had rolled down the window.
mark says
and you kiss the lion
El-Branden Brazil says
I’m joking, by the way.
Lee says
I thought you were. Or at least I hoped you were!
winnie says
This is so cool!! I also want to be so close too!
It’s can see you but cannot touch you. 🙂
Beautiful shot!!
Lee says
Thanks! It was incredible being so close. Very exciting to say the least.
Andy says
That bus company must be doing a roaring trade. Did you take the mane route?
Lee says
Nah, I had far too much pride for that.
Andy says
What? Yer must be lion!
Lee says
Yeah, but I didn’t think you’d bite!
