JTB HAWAII BRINGS THE “OBAKE BUS” (GHOST BUS) TO HAWAII – JUST IN TIME FOR HALLOWEEN…COME ABOARD, IF YOU DARE!

PRESS RELEASE
October 22, 2021

Honolulu, HI – (Wednesday, October 20, 2021) JTB Hawaii and Travel Plaza Transportation proudly present “Ghost Bus Hawaii” for the very first time in Honolulu. The grand opening will be held on Friday, October 29, 2021, at 152 Ohua Avenue at the corner of Kuhio and Ohua Avenues, across from the Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa main entrance.

Since 1964, JTB Hawaii has been an active member of the Hawaii community facilitating travel and cultural experiences to and from Japan. And now, JTB Hawaii is introducing a facet of Japanese culture called “Obake Yashiki” (Japanese Haunted House) to the United States starting right here in Hawaii.

“JTB Hawaii wanted to do something exciting and positive for the local community as we have all faced difficulties and challenges due to the COVID pandemic,” said Hiroyuki Kitagawa, President & CEO of JTB Hawaii, Inc. “We think Ghost Bus Hawaii will be a fun entertainment activity for everyone to enjoy – and just in time for Halloween and the upcoming holiday season. We have worked hard to make the Ghost Bus as safe as possible and are following all of the current mandates. We hope many people in Hawaii will come to experience the unique, Japanese-style ‘Obake Yashiki’ and enjoy the Ghost Bus!”

with the assistance of Japanese horror master Michaelty Yamaguchi, Ghost Bus Hawaii is a very unique “haunted house” built inside a stationary, dark, horrifying bus. The Ghost Bus doesn’t actually drive anywhere, but utilizes audio-visual sensory effects and incorporates live actors to transport passengers to a scary dimension, and provides the unique Japanese horror experience that has taken the world by storm.

These horror experiences were once only available in Japan, but now can be experienced in Hawaii. The Ghost Bus can also be driven to locations across Oahu, and made available for private parties and events, as well!

Once inside the bus, there is nowhere to escape. Are you brave enough to experience this? Come aboard, if you dare…
