I do now, LOL! And to TAPS: Since they have no names on those street signs, they probably have directions...

Giving directions must be interesting over there.

TAPS,

 ...good question! When summer neighbors with college son come this year, I'll ask. The son speaks Japanese & has visited Japan several times as part of a college course.

My son spent three years in Japan so I asked him if it was true that streets in Japan have no names.  He said, "I don't know.  I can't read Japanese so I never tried to read the street signs."  LOL.  So, what is on the street signs if they have no names?
