Public worker by day, private dick by night.Cases of government employees abusing their positions are certainly not unheard of, but it’s usually for lame reasons like spoiling a manga series or going to the gym. Very rarely do we see people who leverage their access as a civil servant to lead a daring second life as a private investigator.But whatever the reasons, a crime is always a crime, and things ended badly for former Toyota City employee Takashi Takeuchi. Once the head of the Health
Collaboration with American art museum puts the works of Hokusai and Hiroshige in the Prussian blue spotlight.Uniqlo’s UT line of graphic T-shirts are essentially wearable works of art, mobile, short-sleeved display spaces for showing off artistic styles and design aesthetics that speak to you.

Effective against bears and very lazy people.The spate of bear encounters in Japan has certainly been surprising for many reasons, but one thing that caught my attention especially is that they seem pretty good at using automatic doors. I hope I’m not coming across as patronizing to any bears who might be reading this. I mean, I’ve been known to mistake a pane of glass for a door on more than one occasion myself.▼ Just struts in like it’s no big deal▼ This one struggled a bit,
Tokyo gift shop offers to put you in the cockpit of the very first anime mecha that had one.There are hundreds, if not thousands, of anime characters who pilot giant robots, and fans can spend endless hours debating which one of them is the most skilled. Gundam’s Amuro Ray? Macross’ Maximillian Jenius? Escaflowne’s Allen Schezar? You could make a solid case for any of them, plus a dozen others.Ah, but while “Who’s the best anime mecha pilot?” has no definitive answer. “Who was the first anime me
We head to Osaka’s world-famous canal district and see who’s thriving and who’s struggling with the drop in travelers from China.In November, both the Chinese central government and the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo issued statements telling Chinese citizens to refrain from traveling to Japan, and they haven’t yet done anything that could be construed as taking those words back. Since China accounts for the largest single source of leisure tourists to Japan, this frosty mood could potentially have a
Marugame Family Night is for the Marugame families, not the customers.Japanese noodle restaurant chain Marugame Seimen, also known as Marugame Udon, has announced that later this month it’ll be having a Marugame Family Night. From the name, you might expect this to be a one-night promotion with special deals for families dining out together, like a kids-eat-free service or a discount for groups that order three or four bowls of noodles at a time.However, while the goal of Marugame Family Night i
Finally a store that understands that sometimes it’s you who needs refreshing, not just your clothes.Having lived in fairly modern apartments in Japan with decent amounts of space for a washing machine and drying racks, I have always been rather fortunate to not have to make a journey to the laundromat every week or so to wash my clothes. That being said, I do find myself using one now and again to wash my futon or larger rugs that simply don’t fit into my washing machine.After filling up

Driving test pass rates as low as two percent in some areas.For a long time, Japan had a very convenient system for licensed drivers from other countries to convert their permits to Japanese ones. For some, this involved a very, very, very simplified version of the written and practical tests to get a license on par with anyone else in Japan, and as a regular license, it could also be renewed independently, regardless of the status of their home country’s license.This is compared to the st

Usually you have to head to the store to see your options for this win-win-win Japanese shopping custom, but Starbucks has made it extra-easy.In Japan, there’s a common practice of supermarkets and takeout places discounting leftover items as they get close to closing time. It’s a win-win-win policy, as consumers get to save a little cash, the store gets to make some extra sales, and the reduction in food waste is a plus for the environment too.Since these discounts are for leftover items, thoug

Mario is also taking over the Sonic train as part of collaboration with JR.Mt. Fuji may be the most recognizable natural symbol of Japan, but if we’re throwing man-made ones into the mix, the Shinkansen has to be pretty high on the list, right?

Mr. Sato heads to one of Japan’s biggest Chinatowns to see how things are following China’s travel advisory.The Chinese government recently made a statement telling citizens not to travel to Japan, which was seconded by the Chinese Embassy in Tokyo on November 26.
