Collection of Japanese signs
Were just back from a couple of very enjoyable weeks in Japan and Ill post several stories from our trip on here in the coming weeks. For now I thought Id quickly share some of the funny Japanese signs and strange English translations we encountered on our way around the country.
I should stress that the fact that signs are in English at all is a great help, especially in a country with so few English speakers and still a largely domestic tourist market. And the translations, funny as they are, do ensure that the signs get more attention than they would otherwise receive. Perhaps its all part of a very clever plan
