By far the coolest rice out there

Mood.

I love all the tiny ways that Japan tries to preserve and share its art and culture.

Yup, unfortunately we were in the same situation recently, got two big-ish boxes of useful, thoughtfully selected items.

there’s a reason why japans communities are some of the closest in the world!

This is really beautiful

Every traveller's dream

One thing i really like in Japan, they actually respect cats.

At first I thought it's the sky. Still so magical!

Wow. That's all. Just wow.

delicious food 😍

Why not...

I wish countries conserved their heritage this will

awww

Our local grocery shop has this too here in South Africa. Figured it was the norm everywhere these days.

This is literally the first thing I want to see when I go to Japan next month. Staying in Shinjuku.

Leaf shaped panels

Riding in style. I wonder if this is first class and how much a seat costs?

This is awesome! It reminds of the hanging roller coasters.

On the positive side, noone can jump out front them, when they moves

For a second I thought the picture was upside down! I like how the tracks are illuminated. How do you even get on or off this thing? What's on top of the tracks?

But why? Wouldn't it work just the same if the bottom of the monorail was on the tracks?

Nah man I'd be scared (still would go on it though)

WOW!

I wouldn't be able to ride. Due to fear of heights but does look awsome

That's pretty amazing. It looks upside down to me because there is nothing like this here in the USA.

That makes me nervous..

🥰🥰🥰🥰❤❤❤❤

That's a big hell no. I choose life, thanks.

Reminds me a bit of the Monorail in Seattle, WA, US

Woah...

I love me a good monorail so much I oughta make an account that says just that.

That's a bathroom?!

I got on a Hello Kitty themed train in Japan. Every little thing, even the pictures of the driver on the tiny train maps on the back of the seats had been changed to kitty. IMG_201911...14b396.jpg

Samurai firemen!

kill bill vibes, anyone ?

That's soooo cool. "Did you leave your stuff in the Aluminium locker?" "No, I think it was the Beryllium one."

Panera Bread donates their unsold bread to charities.

Because of the thin walls in many buildings, Japanese women would continuously flush the toilet so they could not be heard "doing their business". As that was quite expensive and not ecological, this was introduced. The first versions just played a recording of a toilet being flushed...

I want one. Take my money and gimme

Implement that here and the car would vanish along with the food

Move Over British Payphone booths, Japan wins this One with the samurai Payphone booths.

SIL used to work in happen Japan in the late '90s. She said men groping women on the trains was every damn day, and you learned to back up against the side quick if you couldn't get a seat. Being a tall blonde, it happened so much, but she also took none of it and regularly smacked and slapped offenders (something Japanese women didn't do, which was very surprising). She once was at a traffic stop on a bike and a guy on a bike next to her rescue over and grabbed her a*s - she jumped off her bike and began beating him with her purse yelling her head off. They never expected her to do that, every time.

What a cool little Easter egg

In the US and UK you just go hungry if you don’t have family members or friends close to get food for you.

That's sick! Wish we had stuff like this in the US

I have a small house and seriously want to install a powder room with one of these.

TIL...There are Curved Escalators!

Perfect place for some Howl’s moving castle

This should be everywhere. I refuse to touch public bathroom handles because I know men are disgusting and too many don't wash their hands.

This is also widespread in other countries.

I took the exact same photo when I was in Osaka :D

I heard Cannon was named after this goddess, Kannon.
