“Meanwhile In Japan”: 50 Photos People Just Had To Take In Japan (New Pics)

My hindbrain: "Ooh, look! A giant bansai tree in the background!"

Please dont show an 'influencer ' they will ruin it

Ohhh....I want to be there

Wow

Is Mulan gonna jump out of that?

Gorgeous koi carp.

I have almost this exact same photo :) I love cherry blossom season in Japan.

But when you live there long enough, it's very real, and you find yourself getting very excited for cherry blossom season. Type "kannonji river cherry blossoms" into Google.

Gorgeous.

"Here, have some rice, broke-a*s"

This is not all that common here in Japan, but many companies do feel that if they ask for your business, they are obligated to provide a good product that you will like. If you do use a business for something, it is also likely that next year, you will receive a calendar and some small gift from the company. The more you previously spent, the nicer the gift.

It's always the little details like this that make me happy. I love Japan.

some cities have pokemon covers xD

I lived in hayama Kanagawa- they had theirs

They can get their sleep and worship requirements taken care of at the same time!

The cats love their giant dog statue from a really sad movie

It’s probably elsewhere in this list but there’s a restaurant in Japan where the people taking your order and bringing it to you have dementia or maybe it’s Alzheimers and you basically take whatever they bring back out to you. Brilliant.

I just love this

I love it. People with severe disabilities can get so isolated so thisvid a nice way to give them social interactions.

My mouth just became Niagara Falls.

The kitchen staff even took the time to make sure everything was plated beautifully! So much about being in the hospital is drab and depressing, but this extra care in presentation means so much. 😊

This is not the norm. It's an expensive private facility. Part of what you pay for is the good food. In the one facility I know of, the mother's last meal before discharge is especially nice. In regular hospitals, you get regular hospital food in regular plastic plates and bowls, which is what my wife got when she gave birth.

Where is this? It very much depends on the hospital. Not everywhere is that yummy. I was almost starving after the birth of my son( with C-section!)

I would love living there.

These are very specially preserved areas. The costs of maintaining the old-style thatch roofs are significant, but this is really old rural life in Japan. Notice the greenery around the homes. There is usually a garden for trees and flowers of the seasons and also an area for growing vegetables.

That's where the shire is!

I will send this to a jigsaw puzzle website

Don't support those kinds of businesses. Owls and otters are not domesticated species.

I hope they only roost there and have a rooftop window to come and go.

I went to one in Tokyo and they were so cute!!! They can peck you though!

'The' owl cafe? Bold of you to assume there is only one.

Owl café? Sounds very interesting.

Having worked in retail and had to dress mannequins before, this would be a nightmare to change!

It's hip to be square!

I have seen this picture before. I love it!

Hate to be the one to say it, but this is a JoJo reference
