Bernie (codewiz@mstdn.io)'s status on Wednesday, 07-Jun-2023 00:23:21 UTC Bernie So how do you call a cab in Japan? Easy, you use Taxi Japan! 👍
...which has been replaced by a thing called GO 😠
...which requires a Japanese phone number 🤬
Luckily, a kind shopkeeper called the taxi for me. 🙏
No, Uber and Lyft are being kept out of #Japan, probably by anti- competitive laws 😒

Bernie (codewiz@mstdn.io)'s status on Wednesday, 07-Jun-2023 00:14:19 UTC Bernie Surprisingly, there were no buses going down from Yashima for 2 hours, so I took a taxi.
Those white fabric lace covers have a long tradition in Japanese taxis, while the plastic curtain must be a post-COVID thing. #japan

Bernie (codewiz@mstdn.io)'s status on Tuesday, 06-Jun-2023 08:03:36 UTC Bernie The weather is too hazy to see the Seto-Ōhashi, one of the three bridges across the Inland Sea (瀬戸内海, seto nai kai).
I will cross it tomorrow by train.

Bernie (codewiz@mstdn.io)'s status on Tuesday, 06-Jun-2023 05:39:09 UTC Bernie These are definitely torii. They're a shinto thing, but also a common sight in Buddhist temples.
The statue on the left is a tanuki, and the other is... a mother tanuki breast feeding a baby tanuki? 🤨

Bernie (codewiz@mstdn.io)'s status on Sunday, 04-Jun-2023 01:30:59 UTC Bernie The entire ship is themed after Karakai Jouzu no Takagi-san. Being featured In a popular anime series brings a lot of tourism these days.

Taras Grescoe 🚇 (straphanger@urbanists.social)'s status on Tuesday, 25-Apr-2023 20:07:00 UTC Taras Grescoe 🚇 Farmers in the US are getting sick of paying $80,000 for super-sized trucks that won't even fit into their barns.
They've been importing mini-trucks from #Japan that do the job and cost a lot less.
