30 Crazy Things You'll Only See In Japan

These two guys look like the biggest playboys in Japan - until you get a closer look and realize they're hanging out with life-sized dolls.

Shaving your baby can be such an annoyance, right? It's always good to teach the kiddos how to take of it.

KFC is actually Japan's Christmas meal of choice! And apparently, Colonel Sanders is the country's Santa Claus.

I guess putting these stocking things on your head is supposed to serve some cosmetic purpose? Maybe it's supposed to make your face look more punchable.

This kind of thing probably happens at more Japanese baseball games than you would think. Darth Vader on the mound doesn't really seem fair though.

It's strange how little Japan cares about anything. You want to take a pillow of a cartoon girl on a date? Totally normal!

Honestly, I have so many questions about what or who they're trying to pull off.

Apparently, Doritos has a very different marketing strategy in Japan. What is the target demographic with a bag design like this?

Imagine the butterfly kisses you'd get from those bad boys!

What a waste of meat this is!

If there is one the people of Japan take seriously, it's their studies! I wonder how many times these poor school girls were held back.

Who was the first person to think it would be cool to pump your head full of goo so it inflates like this? And what a bold move removing they eye brow piercing and going for the double ogre forehead look. That's going to pay off for her.

Is this thing like a cookie, or an actual piece of an afro - it could go either way. Regardless, who would ever want to eat an afro cookie?

This photo may be too sad to make fun of. Alone on Christmas having a poor dinner with an animated girl on your computer - get a dog or something, man.

You know you have issues when you're the outcast in Japan. He got the hairstyle right, but he flew a little too close to the sun trying to pull off the dog/sea lion outfit.

It's always nice when communities pay respect to local heroes. Is it too far-fetched to think maybe banana man is their equivalent of Batman?

I guess this if from a Japanese game show? Maybe this is just a daily hygiene thing in Japan. Maybe this isn't a Japan thing and girls always do this in the bathroom? Who really knows?

Is it really that bad of a costume if you can tell who he's supposed to be? Although, I don't remember anything about Sailor Moon carrying around a red purse.

Okay, I'll give Japan credit when it's due. This looks like it may actually work!

1. This shouldn't exist. 2. How long of a commute do you have that would make a tri-pod chin rest a reasonable purchase?

I'm not sure if this is a some type of recreational activity or an ancient form of torture. It's usually tough to tell the difference with anything they do in Japan.

It would make sense if her helmet said, "wake me up when we reach X stop," but who would ever do that? Let her sleep.

Am I saying I would cook and eat vending machine crab? No. Have these crabs most likely been dead for days and reek of ammonia? 100%. With the current Yen to US dollar exchange rate, is 23 cents per crab a great deal? You betcha!

Do they not have bottles over there, or does he just want to get the full experience? This still probably isn't the strangest thing you'd see while taking public transportation in Japan.

This is somehow a famous cartoon character that people dress up for as Halloween...I feel like this is just one of those costumes you can make for yourself at home with a wig and a trip to the back of mom's closet.

Not only was someone lonely enough to invent lady leg shaped pillows, but it turns out that there was an actual demand for them in Japan. How very sad.

What could possibly be in their "normal" water that warrants they make a diet water?

You can picture this pretty clearly in your head - freshly shaven babies screaming bloody murder as a monster man in a diaper swings them around. It's Japan's favorite pastime.

He must be the Japanese equivalent to Johnny Bravo - also weird is that he shaves parts of his head to emphasis his widow's peak.

Japan is full of a bunch of coke heads.
