Things In Japan Americans Might Find Strange
Strange Marvels In Japan
The land of anime, sushi, and cherry blossoms is a wonderland indeed. But if it’s your first time in Japan, you might be caught off guard by some unexpected things...
Luxury Fruit
Fruit in Japan tends to be expensive, but even more expensive are designer fruits. For example, square-shaped watermelons can cost 15,000 yen ($97 USD). Meanwhile, Ruby Roman grapes can sell for 40,000 yen ($259 USD) a bunch, and the obsidian Densuke Watermelon can cost a whopping 650,000 yen ($4,206 USD).

Go-Karts In Tokyo
Stroll the streets of Tokyo and you may spot people go-karting through its busy lanes—sometimes dressed as Mario Kart characters! Tourists can go on exhilarating go-karting tours around the city, living out their video game dreams.
KFC: Official Christmas Food
The Japanese have an interesting national tradition during Christmas: they feast on Kentucky Fried Chicken. This traces back to a marketing campaign in the 70s when American fast-food restaurants started appearing all over the country.
Epic Vending Machines
Vending machines are a lot more exciting in the island nation. Not only do you get a large variety of soda, but some machines offer canned coffee, tobacco, and even ramen!
