Shonen Jump, a weekly manga magazine published by Shueisha, has been a major influence on the development of anime and manga culture in Japan, and has produced many popular anime series such as Dragon Ball, One Piece, and Naruto.

Japan has a theme park called Huis Ten Bosch that is a replica of a Dutch town, complete with windmills and tulips.

The Japanese are known for their love of vending machines, which can be found on nearly every street corner and sell everything from snacks to underwear.
