As good as Japan’s gadgets and technology are, when it comes to good English translating they are sometimes a tad behind. I saw the sign above at a town near Lake Ashi while on a one-week trip to Japan a few months ago. Apparently Japan is home to a number of “smoked visitors.”

Please don’t get the feeling that I’m trying to poke fun at the Japanese. I’m sure if we translated all our signs into Japanese here in America, we would make similar silly mistakes.
