The first service was provided between July 2008 to June 2009.
The design of the bus this time is by up and coming young artist Yasuhiro Suzuki, who participated in the “Digital Public Art Project,” a collaborative project between researchers of the Tokyo University and artists held from October 9 to November 3, 2009 at Terminals 1 and 2 of the Haneda Airport which aimed to create a new genre of media art through advanced technologies and ideas.

Suzuki gets his inspiration from everyday things.
For the Hara Museum, Suzuki chose the “windows” of the museum as the motif of his bus design!
