17 Crazy Things That Are Only Possible In Japan by herkzprince(m): 3:55pm On Sep 29, 2017 |
The Land of the Rising Sun is like a whole
other world full of unbelievable phenomena
and weird traditions.
Bright Side has collected a few fascinating
stories shedding some light on the daily lives
of ordinary Japanese people. 17. Job description: pushing people in the subway - Japanese subways have so many passengers during rush hours that there are special workers — oshiya — who push people into trains. The first oshiya were students who worked part-time.

16. $24,000 for a couple of melons - Even Japanese square watermelons are not
as expensive as Yubari King melons.
At an auction in 2008, two melons were sold
for $24,000. The reason for such a high
price is the rarity of the fruit: these melons
are grown in small amounts on the island
of Hokkaido, and their harvest is immediately
bought up by dealers.

15. Kit Kats with the flavors of sake, wasabi, sweet potatoes, or chili pepper - The name of Kit Kat candies in Japanese sounds similar to kitto katsu , or "you will surely win." That’s why they are often given to students as a good luck gift before exams. As with many other foods, Japanese Kit Kats have the most bizarre flavors, from chili pepper and wasabi to green tea and pear. 1 Like

14. A café that sells tenderness - For an extra charge, men are allowed to lie
with the waitresses, hug them, establish long
eye contact, or stroke their hair — but
no further! In Japan, a great deal
of attention is paid to the visual side
of things. For example, cafés where
waitresses are dressed as pretty
housemaids are currently very popular.

13. The widest assortment of trains - Trains that run on Japanese soil are richly varied: vintage, double decked, super fast, trains with no engine driver, and even trains resembling cartoon characters such as Thomas the Tank Engine. Subway trains have special women-only cars safe from men’s advances.

12. Vending machines that can sell
anything - Vending machines are so popular in this
country that you can buy the most
unbelievable things from them — like
common onions or a handwritten love letter.iii 1 Like

11. A spa where you can splash
in wine, sake, or coffee -
An extraordinary place where you can not
only swim in huge pools of wine, coffee,
sake, or even bouillon but also drink them
on the spot.

10. Pet robots for children -
Getting a pet in Japan is a costly affair
equivalent to buying a new car. Because
of that, children are increasingly offered toy
robots imitating house pets. 1 Like

9. Sakura: beautifully edible -
Sakura is Japan’s national flower and also
a delicacy used to garnish desserts. Dishes
featuring cherry petals are particularly
popular in spring when the entire country
is covered with a soft pink carpet
of blooming cherry trees.

7. The fashion police is unheard of -
Japanese street fashion is about bright
colors, borderline things, and crazy designs.
It is sometimes called a separate branch
of contemporary art, where anyone can
express themselves through combining
seemingly incompatible colors and
accessories.

6. Restaurants order plastic food -
This is a distinct profession: specialists
make artificial food indistinguishable from
real food. It is made from powder or wax
to be displayed on restaurant counters
as samples for customers.

5. Nothing makes your smile more
charming than double teeth -
The “Hollywood smile“ in Japan
is considered too open and provocative.
Instead, the reverse is in favor: not just
crooked teeth but building up and correction
resulting in ”double teeth."

4. Landing a plane would be easier
than coping with a toilet -
The panel next to the toilet looks like the
control panel in a spaceship. It has dozens
of buttons serving to turn on the bidet or the
shower, warm up the seat, and even regulate
the music. 1 Like

3. The weirdest museum with
a sizeable collection -
The entrance to the Toilet Museum
is proudly decorated with a gold human-
sized heap of poop and several sculptures
in strained poses. The exhibits inside include
a children’s slide shaped like a toilet bowl,
a collection of artificial animal and human
excrement samples, interactive exhibits, and
funny hats. This is the world’s first feces-
themed museum.

2. Ice cream with the flavor of noodles,
meat, or beer -
Tastes differ, but gourmets should definitely
try Japanese ice cream in all of its diversity.
It’s not even the fact that you can find ice
cream with the flavor of noodles, beer,
or horse meat that is surprising but that it’s
sold at every corner and is in great demand.

1. An island ruled by rabbits -
During World War II, a number of rabbits
were brought to Okunoshima Island for
secret scientific research. The program was
later canceled, and the rabbits were set
loose. They didn’t waste any time, and now
the island is teeming with these creatures,
attracting thousands of tourists.

This provocative hybrid of bikini and ultra
