Construction
Newly released design shows how the former station building will blend into a more modern landscape.
A road that isn’t wide enough for cars and a dark, secret chamber are just some of the surprises at this off-the-beaten path destination.
Look out — Japan’s old capital appears to be rising again, with an army of koi fish behind it.
World Heritage-listed Golden Pavilion is currently covered up for repairs, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to see the building.
Simply stepping foot on a stretch of pavement in Kawasaki has left at least three people with injuries on their feet.

Japanese Twitter users weigh in with their thoughts on the bizarre print and the fate of the frog who made it.

The Leaning Tower of Pisa might be able to draw huge crowds due to the fact that it’s a bit on the wonky side, but generally we prefer our buildings to stand upright.

But what prompted these separately-constructed buildings to start nuzzling each other, and is this really safe?
The signboard above was posted on Twitter recently and piqued the interest of thousands with its unusual presentations. Japan has a history of construction warning signs that might seem odd in other countries, with roly-poly penguins notifying us of gas line maintenance or a cuddly panda stopping us from falling into an open manhole.
This one, however, has even Japanese people scratching their heads. At first glance the sign appears to have a frisky looking construction worker telling you about his project with a saucy wink. However, the more one looks at this image, the deeper the rabbit hole goes.
