In Japan, it is sometimes worth buying a product just to see its crazy packaging. Here is a fine selection of packages which will make you say nothing but “WTF”.
Apparently in Japan manholes are treated as canvases for various art pieces. Other countries should definitely take note of this funky idea.
If you are an adventurous eater, then you might want to consider visiting Japan for a host of bizarre and sometimes crunchy foods. These dishes are not for the faint of heart.

This unusual trend is getting rather popular among Japanese girls. I wonder why.
Have you heard about Japanese "snow monsters"?
This private supercar collection is owned by a Japanese multimillionaire. The garage features some of the most desirable exotics such as Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati and others. It’s insanely awesome!
Japanese kids are lucky to ride such cute customized school buses.
This is probably one of the most expensive car accidents ever.
What does it look like?
See inside the post.
This three-storey house was built in Japan by LEVEL architects. Its coolest feature will be loved by all kids, since this house has both stairs and slides that exit into the living space.
Located in the Philippine Sea, and 222.7 miles (358 km) south of central Tokyo, Aogashima also has a village that is home to around 200 people. This volcanic island has erupted and even killed some of the islanders, but still people spend their lives there. Fishing and farming are some of the more common activities.
Hashima is also known as “Battleship Island” because of its unique shape. It used to be a coal mining facility that operated from 1887 till 1974. Then it was shut down. The mines are now bare and empty. That’s why the island is given a new nickname “Ghost Island”.
Japanese toilet manufacturer decided to create an unusual bike powered by… poop. Crazy as it sounds, this motorcycle actually runs. It has even performed 870-mile countrywide tour across Japan.
The human waste stored in the driver’s seat is turned into biofuel. Hopefully this TOTO’s three-wheeled chopper won’t explode on-the-go. Meanwhile, you can watch videos after the jump to see it in action.
Architect Kota Mizuishi created this very narrow triangular house in Horinouchi Japan. A husband and wife and their one child live in this truly unique house that actually has a kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, playroom and a guest space. The house is valued at around $200k.
People who live in Japan can easily get rid of their old electronics and household appliances, whether they are working or not. Local companies pick dead technology and take it to dumps helping residents to quickly solve the recycling problem. Discarded TVs, printers, washing machines and other products are not resold to the population. They are sent to China for further disposing and component parts.
In some countries they do things a little bit differently, and the men have a very unique taste when it comes to their women.
It is rather interesting to see what passed for or was considered beautiful in Japan in the old days. Oh well, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.
A hotel for the dead is now open in Japan.
The after photos show the damage that is still left in Japan. It’s hard to believe that the earthquake happened on March 11 and the tsunami hit on June 3, 2011. The bottom photos were taken on in September, after much of the mess had been cleaned up.
This hotel is one of the many abandoned in Japan. It was closed in 1995-1996. The hotel has seven floors including a large dining room, with an adjacent kitchen. It had accommodations for 200 guests and 40 rooms, which have a strong spirit of the 80s.
This amusement park in Japan has seen better days. Although it was once a glorious place for families to have fun, sadly it has been abandoned.
Chef Okistugu Kado provides these interesting Star Wars Garnishes at Oki’s Sushi Bistro in Osaka, Japan.
The US bombed the Japanese city of Hiroshima 66 years ago. Approximately 100,000 Japanese citizens died on that day. Here are some photos of the aftermath of the bombing.
December 7, 1941 the Imperial Japanese Navy attacked US military base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii without warning. Following the attack, Japan officially declared war on the US. This was immediately followed by the war message from President Roosevelt who then and signed a formal declaration of war against Japan.
These creative and real life boxed lunches called “bento” in Japan are single-portion meals used by adults and kids. Apparently it is fashionable to make them as cute as possible, by creating faces and entire scenes.
This roller coaster in Fuji-Q Highland Amusement Park in Japan drops its riders 141ft. in a single vertical drop. The Takabisha is their newest, record breaking rollercoaster. The ride only lasts 112 seconds, includes 121-degree freefall, and reaches speeds of nearly 62,5 mph (about 100 km/h). It’s the steepest ride anywhere in the world.
In some schools of Japan, school girls and boys are made to clean male urinals barehanded and barefoot. This news has unleashed a wave of resentment in the county.

A lot of 2ch forum users (2ch is the biggest forum in Japan) live is similar rooms. These Japanese rooms will tell you a lot about their owners.
Japanese science whizzes have invented a pot that charges your cell phone when you boil water. TES NewEnergy developed the technology for emergencies like earthquakes.
It seems that in Japan there is a new trend.
Don't look if you are susceptible!
