Tokyo Sewage Museum: More than Crap ★ ONLY in JAPAN #52
Tokyo is loaded with museums, hundreds of them from art to science. If normal museums are a bore to you or you want to try something new, let me tell you about this place! The TOKYO MUSEUM OF SEWAGE!
Here, you'll spend the day learning about Tokyo's sewer system, how it works and even get a chance to go inside the main sewer pipe suspending on a platform over the free flowing raw crap. Perfect for families -- or maybe for the second or third date with someone special :) either way, Kodaira city is a really relaxing place to hang out, a few really cool cafes and restaurants near the station.
Best of all, this experience is free! What are you waiting for?

Japanese Manhole Covers: Drainspotting Adventure & Factory Tour ★ ONLY in JAPAN
Manhole covers are trending high in Japan and for good reason -- they're stunning! Only in Japan are manholes to cover sewage designed so beautifully that they now make MANHOLE TRADING CARDS! (Travel around Japan and collect them all. They're free!) The craze is real, folks. There's even a new word for manhole enthusiasts: MANHOLERS
In this episode, John travels around the country as a manholer in search of Japan's best designs. He also visits Nagashima Imono Casting Factory where manhole covers are made and finds out why they have designs and are painted. He also visits the Manhole Summit for the latest news and designs.
FACTS ABOUT JAPANESE MANHOLE COVERS: ★ They were a way after WWII (World War 2) for Japan to spread the importance of its new sewer system project. ★ Okinawa (Naha city) was the first designed manhole in 1977. It had fish on it. ★ Now 95 % of all municipalities in Japan have customized manhole covers. ★ There are over 12,000 designs around Japan! ★ Manhole covers are sometimes painted for commemorative covers or for inside areas without vehicles like shopping arcades and parks. The paint used is a top secret mixture. ★ Designs represent local culture, history, mascots or sports teams: things citizens are proud of.
About Manhole Cards: The cards are free and you have to physically go to each location to get one. It's first come, first serve. Where To get the cards? Here is a list of the distribution locations around Japan translated into English:
