Random Japan #61 :: A Walk Near the Train Station

dbooster (64)in #randomjapan • 6 years ago

Hello, wonderful and amazing readers. Thank you for clicking on the latest episode in what is surely the most random of the random looks at Japan.

Join me today as we take a walk around the train station and look at the random things nearby.

Some fun? Awesome. Let’s get ready. It’s time for…

Random Japan!

_{X Marks the Spot}

This is either where I am suppose to stand for the coming train or where I definitely shouldn’t stand. It could also possibly be marking the location of treasure.

_{Oo La La}

Oh my.^†

_{Open Parking}

It used to be a tiny house. Now it’s a few tiny parking spaces. Progress?

_{Nice Lantern}

Most of the time these restaurant lanterns are wrapped in plastic. Is the extended life worth the tacky look?

_{Mini Mini Man}

Helping everyone everywhere sign up for overpriced apartments.

_{Boss Vandalism}

Of all the places to spray graffiti… on a Boss coffee logo?! Possibly the greatest logo in Japan. This is unforgivable. Tommy Lee Jones won’t be pleased.

That’s all, folks. What’s your favorite? Let me know in the comments. Thank you for reading and be sure to tune in next time when, if providence allows, I shall return with another Random Japan. See you then.
