Photos from Japan, Part 17. A little bit of America in Japan.

There are a lot of familiar American companies in Japan. Everywhere we went, there was a McDonald's or Wendy's or Shakey's Pizza or Domino's Pizza or KFC. There are even Aflac offices in a lot of places we visited.


There are Aflac offices wherever you look, too. This one is right across from the Minami Kashiwa train station.

Fred found Col. Sanders in Kashiwa!

If you look very carefully, there's a McDonald's. It's the second storefront just to the left of the big Chinese restaurant on the corner. There are McDonald's restaurants everywhere. And many of them are open 24 hours. This was taken from the Minami Kashiwa train station.

Where's the beef? It's in Japan.

Yup. A 7-11.

I had to take this picture of a huge billboard in Shinjuku of the Japanese version of "Gossip Girl."
