    And so, I have conquered "Japan's Top 3 Disappointing Tourist Sites": the Harimaya Bridge in Kochi, the clock tower in Sapporo, and the Shureimon Gate in Okinawa.

    Personally, I find the one of these that shines out as the worst to be the Harimaya Bridge, don't you think! It's enough to make it uncertain why it became famous. :-) The power of a hit song is incredible!

    Next, I want to go see the Holland Slope in Nagasaki!

    Reader-added tags include "Give it alone time" (punning tokei (clock) with hottoke (leave X alone)), "A caption dissing one's home town famous place", and "American Colonial style".

    The survey makes the most of its travels:

    When you have free time on a trip, what do you do besides going sightseeing?
    • Sleep
    • Eat
    • Go sightseeing
    • Play around
    • Karaoke

    (I'm not sure if option 3 is meant to be sightseeing on one's own, versus planned touring, or is a second gag choice.)

    Huh, looks like something I'd be more likely to see here than in Japan. I'd probably be disappointed if there was no hint of changes made to accommodate Japanese aesthetics. I'd have to go there myself to know for sure. Maybe one of these days...

    For the poll, eat, of course. Food is a great way to get to know the flavor of the local culture.
