This is caring to the max, giving people of all situations a way to serve the community

Take notes everybody: that's how you go on strike!

In Greece they would have cut the tree down 😔😔

This is just plain amazing. Rice to see them putting their artistic skills to the best.

That looks dreamy.

Those charts also show family relations, friendships, enemies, colleagues, classmates and what the characters think of each other. So while the text is too small for me to read, there’s probably also a whole lot of stuff like “hates because he stole her fish one time”.

That's really thoughtful. I commend the people who thought of this idea.

Who's cutting onions in here???

400 years of history: so this tree saw the rise of Japanese industrialization, the Meijing Dynasty, the war with China, both World Wars, and the rise of anime. Now that's crazy.

These should be more common worldwide. Just think about the amount of water it would save across the globe.

Geez Louise. Our hospital food is more like what prisoners get, which is already shameful. But seeing this just makes ours look like pig slurry.

Wonder how they came up with that idea.

Now that's great dedication and work. Hard hats of to you Japan.

Carpe Millenium

And all he gotta do is Toot Toot Toot on his foot.

These things lasts very long. Still fun to play with.

Some train stops in Final Fantasy make much more sense now, knowing this!

Those are scenic trains with big windows and glass ceilings on specific train routes. They mostly run in seasons as hanami or autumn foliage in breathtaking scenery. There is also a train stop in a mountain gorge where you get of to admire the scenery and take pictures while on a platform. The platform has no exit, you can only arrive and leave by train. Day-to-day commuter trains and shinkasen are just normal trains with standard size windows. Although in some trains you can rotate the seats so all passengers can ride the train facing forward. Edit: https://m.jrpass.com/blog/resort-shirakami-train Not this one but another scenic route - scroll down and you can „walk“ through the carriage with Google Maps. Train travel in Japan is pure joy! Efficient, spotless clean, on time, incredibly fast or scenic beauty-slow. And you can buy delicious bentos at bigger stations proudly featuring the regions specialities. Can‘t wait to go again!

Great for introverts like me.

This isn’t usual - normally passengers just grab their own bag off the belt like anywhere else.

It's almost too obvious that it hasn't been thought of here in the UK

Public trash receptacles are not that common so people hold onto their trash until they find one or get home

The Japanese people live in 3021

As it always should be everywhere!

For those of you who is going to say that this is discrimination against women, this subway is specifically design to protect women from the rise of groping and raping problems in Japan. Don't judge the invention without knowing its story.

How thoughtful and sweet of them!

Wow, that's so smooth I couldn't make cents of it.

That would scar the sheet out of me

I'm genuinely impressed by the food quality.

Very smart. The Japanese have some brilliant innovation.

is this... minecraft?

And local residents actually feed those fish by rinsing their dishes out in their own little pools that are attached to these canals

Looks like Kong Island, and BTW, nowhere near Tokyo.

That's so clever. I like it. I also haven't watched Your Name but I'm planning to watch it.

There are so many stories like this. There was a story I heard that a train conductor bowing down to say sorry because he was a few seconds EARLY. Then there is a hotel whose wifi went out from a whopping ONE MINUTE at 4AM.

Cool. *immediately research how to import these*

WOW

This makes way more sense than just a square box

That’s so nice 🥺

Easter Island Statues long lost descendants

They look like some of my relatives!

Bottom row far right is my favorite

I have a large collection of balls of lint that look like Jesus.

I've seen this post before and it remains my favourite collection of anything ever upon second viewing

Those a great. Love to visit this museum if I ever do travel over there.

*Gasp* Decapitated heads of the forest spirits from princess Mononoke!?

that's funny

i wanna go there!

This is way more interesting than any other museum than I've ever been too

And they’re all posing for photos.

This makes me unusually happy

The Kodama

These look like the heads of those little spirits in Princess Mononoke. Are they related?

There's Joe!

Thank you mayor Shinzo Hamai for bringing the city back.
