Anime is everywhere in Japan - great way to sell poo poo to kids and gross adults. Same with mascots. Which is why basically every single company has a goddamn mascot. Like this one:

Komyotan. Who is a mascot for a sanatorium in Okayama.

The important question would be, can I start a private ~~death~~ botanical garden with poisonous plants guarded by ex-Yakuza henchmen, where me and my unattractive Ilse SheWolfoftheSS-esque wife amuse ourself when the suicidal Japanese invade to ~~suicide~~ treat themselves with the plants?

Also must have a ruined castle with mud geysers available.

I say go for it. After all, you only live twice.

Thanks for posting that, I was able to find this tumblr. Check out the mascot for Sunstar

Not only do they make dental products, but also makeup, sealants, and motorcycle parts as well. It's like the 60s conglomerate business model never ended.

I was talking to some restaurant owners in a city of 100,000 and they kept on calling it the countryside. They moved to get away from Tokyo life.

A giant helium balloon bearing the face of an ojisan (middle-aged man) appeared in the sky in Utsunomiya on Sunday, in an event organized by the Utsunomiya Museum of Art to bring artwork to the public outside museums.

The balloon measures 15 meters in diameter and features the face of a man who lives in the city. The man was selected from 218 applicants.
