Maybe I’m simply getting used to living in Japan, but it seems like the signs here are pretty easy to understand.<\/p>\n

Even though they’re (usually) in a different language from my own, I can still quickly figure out what they are trying to communicate.<\/p>\n

Amenity Street, one of the main avenues here in Aomori is a perfect example– it’s absolutely blanketed with signs. From markets to restaurants to boutiques to beer advertisements, there’s a sign for everything on this street.<\/p>\n

Even things that don’t need signs.<\/p>\n
