Anyone for octopus?
Japan is the land of famous things. There are famous views, famous trees, famous temples, famous mountains, and so on, and each locality has its famous products, which are packaged up for tourists to take home as souvenirs for their friends. In Izu Peninsula, seafood is the famous product, and you can buy a pack of dried octopus to chew in the train on the way home.
Pachinko!
Pachinko parlours are places where people play slot machines and various games. They are loud and smoky. This is an ad outside a parlour in Atami, Shizuoka Prefecture, for a pachinko game. The funny thing is that the character on his forehead means meat, which makes him a meat-head, I guess.

Stamp Mania!
Japan is a land of rubber stamps. Many tourist destinations and most JR railway stations have a commemorative stamp. We went to the Open Air Museum of Old Japanese Farmhouses and they did not just have one stamp for the museum ... they had one stamp for each house, and even one for the windmill.
