The town of Konagai is deserted, sparsely populated, but 16 fruit bus stations here make it a pretty hot check-in spot on Instagram.
Fruit bus shelters in Japan
Konagai is a small coastal town in Nagasaki Prefecture, Japan that has used many ways to attract tourists for decades, but with little success due to being too deserted. However, the familiar fruit-shaped bus stations that were unintentionally promoted by believers on social networks recently caught the attention. Photo littlethings
The waiting room is shaped like strawberry, melon, tomato, orange, watermelon painted in eye-catching color, above with green leaf stalk. Many people call this "insta-bae" because it is quite famous on Instagram, making many people mistake that the fruit waiting house is built for promotional purposes

There are a total of 16 shelters, of which 14 stops along the coastal highway 207 and the other two are located around Nagasato Station Inside, fitted seats, canopy shading rain, sun, beautiful small windows.



During 30 years of operation, almost no brown spots or stains sticking too long on these "fruit". They are always painted new every year and become a favorite check-in spot for visitors. Photo choro.rin
According to Japankuru, the designs are based on ideas from Princess Cinderella's pumpkin car. These fruit shapes were not randomly chosen but rather prominent local agricultural specialties to recommend to visitors.

However, Konagai is not a convenient place for tourists if you do not rent a private car, so not many foreign tourists visit This town hardly develops tourism services.



The atmosphere is quite sad and desolate because the population is too sparse. Therefore, even though there are bus routes, they do not often pass by the fruit bus stations. Most restaurants and gas stations here close quite early. Photo _sorakumo.
The best way to walk around this area is to rent a car in case you have an international driver's license, or a car for all day. Otherwise, from Nagasaki Station, take the train to Konagai Station, it will take about 1 hour and 15 minutes on the JR Nagasaki Line. From Konagai Station, you walk east to Highway 207 and you will see some beautiful bus stops located along the coast. Photo nzm___53
The most difficult when traveling by public transport here is that even though the two stops are only 7 minutes away by bus, the bus only comes once an hour.



On the other hand, due to its location on the highway, it is not a safe place to walk long distances and there is also no parking space near the fruit bus stations. So, you must plan carefully before going. If you have a good budget and know Japanese, you can call a taxi. Photo gtomt07
Amidazi - the orange-shaped bus stop is the most famous spot here because it appeared in the ice cream commercials. And Izaki station in the shape of a melon with the background of the sea also attracts many people to take pictures. Other than these bus stops, Konagai has nothing fun to play with. Highway 207 is also not the ideal place to hitchhike and sometimes you have to wait for hours to get the train back to Nagasaki station. After the tour, continue walking along the beach, enjoying grilled oysters in a local restaurant.
