Cat cafes.

You might be surprised to hear this name for the cafes, which are coffee cafes intended for coffee and cat-sucking. Many people prefer to go in there and play with soft-fruited cats and nice colors. These cafes are the first of their kind, and they're exclusively in Japan.

These kinds of cafes contribute to reducing the level of tension after a day of work and events, when you enter these cafes, you pay your entrance fees, and then you get your hot drink, and you also have 60 minutes to play with cats and toss them. In addition to cat cafes, there are also urchin cafes in Tokyo.

Capsule hotels

Tokyo is a very crowded city, always full of people, but yet the intelligence of the Japanese has been able to create a long space for real estate development by building a capsule hotel, which is unique and does not exist in any other country than Japan.

At first, the capsule hotels were reserved for business and wealthy men only, but after a short period of time they were available to travellers and tourists who were looking for unique experiments, and their budget was no longer important for staying in these hotels, with an offer of approximately 1.2 metres.

It is only one metre high, while it is roughly two metres tall, despite the beauty and weirdness of the place, but it is considered an expensive place, and there are also some foreign hotels in Japan, such as the crazy love hotels in Shinjuku.

High-tech toilets

The Japanese continue to produce weird things and techniques that predate our times, and we can say that Japan lives in 3018, and one of the best things that Japanese intelligence has done is high-tech toilets, where these toilets include clean-up and self-sterilizing technology, and provide the advantage of winter seat heating, as well as the technique of listening to music.

These latrines contain a very large number of buttons, and each button has its own job and when pressure is put on it, the job you need is done, although many buttons are considered easy to use and uncomplicated, and these toilets are available in Japanese hotels, and some Japanese institutions too.

Takotamago.

Japan is characterized by exotic and unique foods, and from the most delicious and weird dish of takotamago, which is a small octopus with one cooked egg placed on the top of the octopus and then served on a stick.

This weird dish is available in the markets in Kyoto City, everyone who eats it and wants to eat more of it, because it's both delicious and unique, is considered to be one of the favorite snacks of all Japanese people, and has become a popular Japanese dish for tourists.

It was also featured in a lot of documentary videos that talk about Japanese wonders and wonders.

Nice fruit.

In all countries of the world, melons are displayed and sold in the same form without any changes in their external form, but that does not apply to Japan because it is one of the world's most strange countries, where fruits such as melons and lubricants are presented in the form of arches, hearts, squares and many other forms.

Fruit is also packaged and decorated as a gift, but these fruits are expensive. For example, mango wrapped and decorated fruit is sold at £75 or the equivalent of $1,500, plus very sweet white strawberries, and these unique strawberries are sold at £20 or approximately $30.

Strange flavors of KitKat's chocolate.

In most countries of the world, KitKat chocolate is a board of chocolate that has cookies and weaver covered in very delicious milk chocolate, but in China it's not the same, where there are several strange flavors like KitKat of green tea and KitKats of dark chocolate, and KitKats of strawberry flavor.

In addition to new and more bizarre flavors, such as Kat Cat Fries, Kats Fries, Kats Flavors of Corn, Kats Flavor of Peppers, Kat Flavor of Corn and Barriff Fruit Kate, as well as these strange and unique flavors of Kit Kat Chocolate, the Japanese are working to discover new and even more strange flavors in the future.

Inemori.

One of the strangest customs of the Japanese is to sleep in public places, and this sleep is called Inemori, which is a special thing, which has a lot of meaning, when you go and go to Japan, you'll certainly see a lot of people sleeping on the train, in the waiting stations, in public parks, and even more strange places are meetings.

Some Japanese go to sleep at meetings, although they are businessmen who have an important place, but because of Japan ' s strict labour laws they do not get enough time to sleep, so some people resort to sleep in public places, which is considered normal and very common in Japan, specifically among older persons.

Rabbit Island

The Rabbit Island, known as Okonoshima, in Japan, is located in the inner sea of Japan, and what distinguishes this island from the rest of the world is the huge number of rabbits, whose view is strange and beautiful and attracts visitors from all countries of the world.

Also on the island is the only rabbit grandma who can walk freely on the island because it's bigger than the other rabbits, prevents harm to these rabbits, and also prevents the taking of cats and dogs for fear of rabbits, visitors to the island can feed rabbits and play with them.

It should be noted that in the past this island was not as nice a place as it is today, where it was a storage site for toxic gases during the Second World War. After the war it became an island of rabbits, rabbits found in the garden are considered to be unafraid of human interaction, so it is considered suitable for those who fear the reaction of animals.

Canned food restaurant.

One of the weirdest things in Japan is the restaurant where food is sold in canned form, which is located in Osaka, and is considered the only one in the world, called Mr. Kanso, which is very popular, in which restaurant you cannot choose the food you want to eat, but only the can.

Then you'll be given the can, with tools to open it and eat what's inside it, and the restaurant includes comfortable and beautiful seating seats.

Weird automatic vending machines.

In all countries of the world, there are machines in public for the sale of soda, coffee, soda and candy, but in Japan it's weird and unique, where weird products are sold and only the supermarkets that sell food are available.

For example, bread, noodles, milk and mange are sold in automatic vending machines, and one of the most strange things sold in these machines is underwear and chops of clothing, which is more strange and surprising to anyone who sees them.
