I never been abroad so I am curious What are the things you will find here in Japan but not in America or other countries?
Answer
Decent green tea of course, yes. You're lucky if you can get Japanese tea in the UK, although Chinese green tea is easier to find but it's not so nice in my opinion.
Fried foods (tenpura for example) sitting on a shelf in the supermarket, gradually cooling off and waiting for someone to buy it for lunch. Things would have to be refrigerated back home, and fried foods would lose that nice just-cooked crunch. Back home fried foods would either be sold hot, or frozen/chilled ready to bake or fry at home.
A sandwich with noodles in it. Back home you might find a chip butty (sandwich with fried potatoes in it) but never with yaki-soba.
Fried oysters. Most places they eat them alive, sometimes cooked, but never fried in crumbs.
Chairs with no legs.
So many cockroaches. (it's more cool in the UK, so they don't thrive so well.)
Train carriages with NO SEATS at all.
Vending machines out on the street, unguarded, even at night.
Pushchairs (baby-cars) that are suitable from 1 month upwards. They'd never sell that back home, people need pushchairs suitable from birth.
Sumo walking around the streets. Cool to see them, especially as they're not wearing their usual attire.
People riding bicycles, on the wrong side of the road, with a cell-phone or umbrella in one hand, and one or two children in child seats, without helmets, in the dark, with no lights, and not looking where they're going.
Vinegar and lemon flavour kitkats. Green tea flavour ones too of course. Green tea flavoured boiled sweets too (candy). Actually, green tea flavoured anything, it's not available in the UK except in limited quantities in oriental stores.
Fresh lotus root (ãããã). I've never even seen it in cans back home, but it might be available that way now.
Melon pan. As far as I know it's a Japanese creation and certainly nowhere I know of sells it.
Heated rugs. Kotatsu. Great big built-in cupboards that you can fit heaps of futons in, so big people back home could only dream of them.
If you're Japanese, are those links the fake Japanese provided genuine? I mean, the photos claiming to be vending machines of used knickers, are they really claiming that the items are soiled underwear?

Scooter rental in Japan [more specifically, Hokkaido] ?
sprinklegi
Hello ~
I'll be in Japan mid July ~ August and will be going through Tokyo for a week, Hokkaido for 4 days, Kyoto/Nara, and then Mie for the remainder of my trip [because my friend lives there and she is my main priority in my trip ~]
However I'm mostly interested in mountains and farmland ~ countryside views in Hokkaido and upon further research found that I cannot get to a lot of those places via public transportation.
I'm trying to look into scooter rental but unfortunately a lot of the sites are in Japanese, or simply not in Hokkaido.
I'm not a huge fan of driving and finding places to park, so I'd prefer not to have a car, but I'll be covering long distances in a short amount of time, so walking/skateboarding/bicycling is out of question.
I'm 21 years old, so I'm assuming I'll possibly be denied rental or be charged the underage fee, but I'd like to have a place secured before going to get my IDP.
~~
Does anyone have any recommendations or info in terms of scooter rental in Hokkaido? I'll be staying in the Sapporo area so preferably around there, but if need be, anywhere in the upper island and accessible by public transportation is fine by me.
Thank you for your time!
forgot to mention* I will be in Hokkaido for 4 days, but will probably just rent for 2 days if possible. I've seen some places go as low as $25/day in Osaka, but I guess my budget for rental would be $100~150 total?
