Japan has always been famous for being one step ahead of the rest of the world in terms of technology. The unfavorable geographical position and unusual natural conditions of the Land of the Rising Sun made the Japanese an incredibly resourceful and efficient nation. But sometimes their innovations and creativity result in things that Westerners find strange and shocking. If you’re planning to visit this amazing country, be sure to check out these crazy things that can only be found in Japan!
Artificial fangs.
Japanese women literally go crazy with pointed teeth, which in the Land of the Rising Sun are called “yabea”. Local women are willing to spend hundreds of dollars on cosmetic procedures to attach these mini fangs to their teeth.
Unusual parking.
Over 126 million people live in Japan. Naturally, saving space has become one of the main concerns for local residents, and parking spaces are no exception. If you arrive at the mall, you will surely stumble upon these unusual parking spaces.
Super umbrella.
When a strong wind joins the downpour, an ordinary umbrella is useless. The Japanese solved this problem with their usual ingenuity.
Japanese whiskey.
Have you ever heard of Japanese whiskey? It’s definitely worth a try. It is available almost everywhere and rapidly gaining momentum due to its quality. Suntory’s Hibiki has recently received several awards as “the best whiskey in the world”.
Subway chin rest
The Japanese work very hard, so it is not surprising that sometimes they fall asleep right on the subway. Some sleepy workaholics use this special device to support their heads.
Vending machines.
Although Japanese machines do not differ much from those seen in Europe or the United States. However, what makes it strange is that with Japanese vending machines you can buy everything – from religious objects near the ancient temples on Mount Fuji to fresh eggs, pancakes and batteries. And umbrellas and even worn underwear.
Pillows for single men and women
For those Japanese who do not have a wife or girlfriend, local companies make pillows like this. But the single women behind were not forgotten either. They invented a pillow that will give you the feel of a partner while they are sleeping or resting.
Japanese toilets.
Japanese super toilets are toilet seats with a water supply function that will wash buttocks and genitals. And although the Japanese have long been accustomed to such care, such a load in the ass sometimes scares foreigners.
Capsule hotels.
This is probably the craziest invention in the history of the Japanese, which was picked up by the whole world. These “hotels” first appeared in Tokyo in 1979 and since then successfully served hundreds of thousands of customers, from busy businessmen to drunkards who are afraid to return home late at night.
Island of gas masks.
To the southeast of Honshu is the island of Miyakejima with an active volcano Oyama. Since its last eruption in 2005, a constant leak of poisonous gas has begun, which is why all the inhabitants of the island are forced to wear gas masks … all the time! If a sharp rise in sulfur content is noticed in the air, alarms are triggered.
