parking
A video of a man trying to flee the scene after illegal trash dumping has the Japanese web cackling in schadenfreude.
The parking lot is for people seeking medical treatment, and this hospital says it’s willing to give you a shot whether you need one or not.
Cold weather along Japan’s northern coast assists in letting offender know what he did was not cool.
Parking in this store’s lot even though you’re not a customer? They’ll just keep your car then.
Some in the media are calling this incident yet another indication that Japan’s entering an unprecedented era of geriatric delinquency.
Illegally parking bicycles is a persistent problem in Japan, and one creative train station has come up with a new strategy to stop people from leaving bikes where they shouldn’t – by putting cute illustrations done by children on the ground!
Parking can be tricky sometimes, but when you’re trying to manoeuvre a large vehicle around tight spaces in a Japanese carpark, things can get a little scary.
Thankfully nobody was hurt in the accident pictured above, yet after the photo was posted on Twitter there was one thing everyone wanted to know: how come the rear wheels were hanging in mid-air?
To many environmentalists, a city where most people get around by public transportation and bicycles may seem like a dream, but it’s also not without its share of daily nuisances.
The person who originally tweeted the above photo had said, “The area around this building is very tight due to illegally parked bikes… After I open shop I put out this sign and bikes don’t park here any more.” Over 15,000 Twitter users have agreed and called this the greatest “no parking” sign ever made.
