Isuzu QDG-LV290N1 Erga Non-Step #195
14 february 2019 - Hiroshima, Naka-ku, Ebisuchō (広島県広島市中区恵美須町).
21-2: 広島駅 (Hiroshima-eki) → 広島港 (Hiroshima-minato)
To go along with the other photo, the typical version of rte 21 on its eastern half. The 八丁堀 Hatchōbori sheet doesn`t indicate a variation - all 21 trips go through this junction after all - but it`s more likely to serve to highlight that this route serves this major transfer point to begin with.

Isuzu QDG-LV290N1 Erga Non-Step #240
14 february 2019 - Hiroshima, Inari-ōhashi (広島県広島市稲荷大橋).
25: 広島駅 (Hiroshima-eki) → 井口車庫 (Inokuchi-shako)
If I am to believe Japanese Wikipedia, a portion of this company`s fleet is made up of used buses bought from the capital region. While the Erga in the photo is not one of those - having been bought brand new - it`s still curious as to why the Hiroshima-based company wasn`t seeking its fleet somewhere closer, for example in the Keihanshin area. On the other hand I`m under the impression that fleet replacement is going somewhat faster in the capital region, even if there isn`t really a push in Japan to operate low-floor only services.
Speaking of low-floor services, rte 25 is the only route of this company where departures scheduled to be operated by low-floor buses are marked. This is also particularly rare in Japan.
