Hello wonderful and beautiful people. Welcome to the latest edition of Random Japan, your favorite look at everyday sights across The Land of the Rising Sun.

Today, faces, patterns, and… a street.

Let’s jump right in. Let’s enter into…

Random Japan!

One of the somewhat pointless pet bottle/can bins, where you are suppose to sort them but they lead to the same bag so… yeah. Also, someone took the cover off to better throw in other trash.

On the plus side, it reminds me of Kermit.

Trivia fact: In Japan, larger apartments like this are called “mansions”. Sometimes. The distinction isn’t entirely clear even to Japanese people, but usually “mansions” use reinforced concrete and are constructed to last longer, whereas apartments are prefab things only made to last 20 years and usually only 1 or 2 floors. But realtors and advertisements refer to all as “mansions” in order to make them sound nicer.

A typical view down a typical street with typical writing on it. The vastly different sized windows on that house are also a typical thing to see on typical modern lego houses.

That’s all folks. Hope you enjoyed at least one of the photos here. If you enjoyed more, I’d really appreciate a resteem to help spread the word about #randomjapan, this series and the tag.

Also be sure to turn in again tomorrow when, if providence allows, I shall return with another Random Japan. See you then!

If you like this random photo from Japan, be sure to check out @kaliju’s great Random Korea series. The latest entry there is My Random Korea: Photo Blog #35 - Park GyunHye, South-North Train Vein, Expensive Tea and Unconditional love!

Also be sure to follow @kafkanarchy84, @maxinpower, @boxcarblue, @wllmdnnd, and @mweich for even more random Japan fun! @jrvacation has the occasional randomjapan post too. Also, be sure to follow the #randomjapan tag for more from Japan and #randomasia for random shots from the entire area.

Are you a Japan-based or Asia-based photographer who posts somewhat random photos from the country? If so, use the tag #randomasia, and #randomjapan (or randomASIANCOUNTRYYOUAREIN) on your posts. Also, join our Discord group. DM me on Discord for a link to the server.

Missed a past Random Japan? I’ve got you covered!
