It’s amazing how quickly you can switch from the booming scale of the buildings and businesses immediately out front of Shinagawa station to the local intimacy of the streets around the Kitahon district.

fun fact! up here in rural Hokkaido some of the old ladies bring a sled when they go out to get groceries in the winter and then use it to pull the groceries home afterwards

Kaeru nyōbō (蛙女房) — "frog wive", a shapeshifting character in Japanese folklore. The frog turns into a woman in order to marry a human man, but retains some of her froggy qualities — Kaeru nyōbō is very fragile, small, and is unable to do heavy work due to her little strength. The life with her can be perfectly ordinary and peaceful, unless the curiosity of a husband & family discovers her true nature, and she hops away.

The stories about frog wives exist all over Japan with some variations of the plot. The motive itself — of a girl "with a secret" and a family ruined by prying into it — seems to be extremely popular in Japanese folklore in general.

can't speak for the whole country ofc but some of the ambulances here will announce where they're going! obviously the announcements are in Japanese but the gist of it is they'll say like "we are turning left. please be cautious" so that you know where they're headed and can stay out of their way

we definitely didn't have that in my home country but I'm curious if other countries do the same thing...?
