In Japan, age counts. Especially if you are a woman. The ideal of feminine beauty in Japan is youth and innocence. Plus, there's a lot of pressure on women to get married.
So, if you're an unmarried woman, and heading towards thirty, we'd say that you're being "left on the shelf" or maybe "past your sell-by date".
In Japan though, they compare such women to a "Christmas Cake". It may well be sweet and delicious, but no one really wants any after the 25th. So, if you're an unmarried Japanese woman, after the age of twenty five, you're in extreme danger of becoming a Christmas Cake.
But in these days, this saying really is not very popular, women are getting married pass their 30's.....So much is changing..:))

While the majority of visitors to Japan never have occasion to drive about the country, those who do have been known to comment on the fact that Japanese service stations still offer service.
Attendants wear crisp, clean uniforms and dash forward to greet customers as they enter the station. They guide drivers to the pump and indicate where to stop. With a smile they ask which type of gasoline you want. They wash your windows and offer to clean your ashtray and take away any trash you may have. Once finished, drivers can usually count on an attendant to accompany them to the road and watch traffic for them, helping them merge safely.
In the picture you will wonder where are the pump..well just look above by the ceiling, they are hanging..:)...

Tochiyamagawa Park is a natural park to preserve the ecosystem of original meandering river flow of Tochiyama river. It is also nice place to stroll.
