If you notice a blue traffic light or a sweet potato-flavored Kit Kat! Surely you are in Japan! This country topped the list of wonders and strangeness, along with the tremendous technological progress that makes you think that they are in the thirtieth century!
Strange things that you will only find on the planet Japan!
1- Building barriers in the form of cartoon characters
Those orange and white lights can be an annoyance to pedestrians and drivers because of their ugly appearance, but in Japan, it's quite different! Building blocks are designed in the shape of cute cartoon characters!
2-blue traffic lights
Globally, red means stand and green means secret, except in Japan, blue means secret! Green has been replaced by turquoise in most Japanese traffic lights.
3- rabbit island
The Japanese island of Okuneshima off the East Sea of Japan is called Rabbit Island because it is a place teeming with these cute little creatures. Visitors can feed the rabbits there and take pictures with them.
4- Exotic fruits are expensive!
Some varieties of fruit in Japan are very expensive because they are associated with the culture of gift-giving. It is natural to find different types of fruits out of season at fantastic prices, such as a watermelon at $125, a strawberry at $5, or even a pear at $19
5- Upscale toilets
Even spending time in the shower and toilet is different in this country! Japanese toilets have many features that make them the best ever. It is equipped with all the absolute comforts to prevent any annoying sounds and give off pleasant and sweet smells. Its seats also change automatically to avoid contamination.
6- Driver identification codes on the back of cars
Another thing that distinguishes Japan from other countries is that it uses special symbols to identify drivers on the roads. One of these symbols is the yellow-green V-shaped symbol known as the Shushinsha sign, which is placed on the back of the car, and means that the driver is new to the road for less than a year.
The Koresha sign in the shape of a four-color cloverleaf means that a driver is an elderly person over 75 years old. If there is a yellow butterfly sign on a green background at the back of the car, it means that the driver is hard of hearing.
7- TV screen for the front seat in the cars
Only in this country can you buy a car with a front seat TV! This type of car has become popular all over the world, but the only difference is that the TV screen is for the rear seats, not the front. But Japan took this dangerous step and invented cars with front TV screens to keep the driver entertained!
8- weird vending machines
It is common to see vending machines for soft drinks, hot drinks, or crackers on the streets, but it is strange to see a vending machine for sushi, bottled fish, surgical masks, or even animal food! All of this is only found in the Japanese street!
9- Shower with clothes drying function
Most Japanese homes do not have a clothes dryer. Instead, a shower is used with a unique feature that allows clothes hanging in the bathroom to dry without affecting their material or damaging them with heat, to dry clothes in record time!
10- Kitkat with exotic flavors
Japanese buyers have unlimited choices of the famous Kit Kat chocolate. These flavors include wasabi, green tea, sweet potato, and many others.
11- Cars with rain protection
Even if it suddenly rained on a sunny day, the car is unlikely to get wet in rain. Most Japanese cars are fitted with rain screens to protect windows and interior areas. This part can be installed separately in the rest of the world.
