Quirky Things About Japan Pt.2

  • There is a golf shop on every corner, but we're yet to see a golf course.

  • So far we haven't found any affordable department stores....looks like we'll be shopping at Walmart (type stores) and Louis Vuitton. 

  • No one really goes to the movies here.

  • In the Shinjuku District there are blocks and blocks of JUST restaurants.

  • Most Japanese people eat lunch out.

  • American restaurants we've seen so far: McDonalds (on almost every corner), Subway, Dennys, TGIFs, Outback Steakhouse, Hard Rock Cafe, Baskin Robbins, Starbucks.

  • I found a Mexican restaurant. :)

  • Most public bathrooms offer western and Japanese style toilets

  • Taxi drivers are insane

  • Juice, Tea, and sparkling water count as Soft Drinks

  • Other than Hello Kitty, we haven't been able to find a place to buy souvenirs (sorry)...except that Louis Vuitton handbag and we don't love you that much.

  • They have Gap, but only up to a Ladies Size 10.

  • In houses and apartments the showers are by the kitchen (for plumbing purposes), not by the bedrooms.

  • Public bathroom signs aren't standard.  They are all different and some are pretty funny.

  • Womens Fashion: Short skirts and shorts with leggings/tights and boots.

  • Restaurants ALWAYS give you a warm wet washcloth or wet wipe to wash your hands and face prior to eating your food.
