Cherry Blossom-Colored Lantern Taxi

On the way home from the Matsuya Autumn Matsubikai.

I came across a taxi with a cherry-blossom-pink lantern—one of only seven out of Nihon Kotsu’s 6,000 vehicles!

And what's more, this is actually the third time!

"It's pretty rare to run into the same person three times," said the driver.

Plus, the license plate number is 3939 (Thank You, Thank You).

Something good might happen♪
