Shinjuku - Kakibucho - This is the red light district in Shinjuku. There can even be people distributing pamplets, soliciting customers. However, I am not sure if this is legal.
Pachinko - This is a very common gambling game in Japan. There are many such shops in Japan. It is played by using ball bearings. It can go up to thousands of ball bearings. Each player has his or her personal account, and all the winnings and loss are stored in the card. It has a nickname in mandarin called " pai qing guang", meaning, clap till empty. It simply signifies that the gamblers are bound to lose.
"Standing" noodle shop - The standard of living in Japan is extremely high. In fact, it is the most expensive country which I have been to. 100 yen is approximately equal to S$1.40. A normal bowl of noodles would cost about 800 yen and above. But, do not stress. There are such noodle shops normally situated in subways. The cost is just about 350 yen. Wow!! Haosiao bo? Everything has a trade off right? The only thing is that it requires the customers to stand and eat. What a torture!!!!! But on the account of your wallet, I think it is still worth. :)
Disney Jumbo 747 - If i did not get the wrong information, Japan Airlines only has 2 of such airplanes of this design. Hence, it is quite rare that passengers get to see them. Think I'm quite lucky. Airplanes are painted with special designs due to the same reason as buses or taxis. It is a form of advertisment I guess......
Mount Fuji - This is the most famous mountain in Japan and is also considered by many as one of the most beautiful mountains. Its trademark is the snow cap at the submit.
