For interesting photos of scenes unique to Japan, do a search for "only in Japan" on Google Image Search. Here's a sampling of what you'll find on the top few pages...
A relaxing day at the swimming pool
Hello Kitty in the snow
Manhole cover
Nipplescarf
Honda WOW: Dog-friendly concept car
Extreme casemod
=========================
It's also fun to see what comes up when you do an "only in [...]" search using other place names. Can you guess where each of the images below are from?
Subway map, only in...?
Car wash, only in...?
Snake wash, only in...?
Convenient emergency services, only in...?

That subway map is DC's! I live in the area and use it regularly, but I'd never heard of this tattoo! I couldn't figure out the wording of the image search you used to find it. It'd be interesting to meet the person who had it done.

That's what I thought! I've only been there once, but that subway map is ingrained in my mind :-p
[]Steven
Ok, a need to check your sources is in order I think.
- The car wash certainly doesn't look like Japan, also why would they write in English? And the small sign says "$1 bill changer". This hillbillie scene clearly takes place in the US.
- The kid with the snake wash is a popular image and to my memory it was taken in Thailand or Malaysia.
- Lastly, again the English. Roadsigns in English... And it looks like Australia.
To have a quick Google Image search as basis for an article clearly seems like you are running dry of things to write about.
[]David
Aaaaahahahahaha - priceless!!! Its good for the soul to see the prissy moaner fail so spectacularly!
[]Quevin
Ok, a need to read the article is in order I think.
[]"It's also fun to see what comes up when you do an 'only in [...]' search using other place names. Can you guess where each of the images below are from?"
You're right! Not Japan. But it's not an indication that the article is badly done.
garrett
steven, your an idiot. read the whole thing before you criticize it.
[]ASW
you're *
[]David
Why thank you!!! Now the world has meaning again!
[]haleh
The author pointed out that those pictures WEREN'T from Japan..
[]Christopher
Ok, a need to check your abilities is in order I think.
- The white squiggly things between the pictures are words and if you read them they direct your attention to what you should be getting from the pictures.
- The kid with the snake wash is just friggin freaky
- Lastly, again the English. "It's also fun to see what comes up when you do an 'only in [...]' search using other place names. Can you guess where each of the images below are from?"
To have a quick look at Images as a basis for an opinion clearly seems like you are running dry of any intelligence.
In short: hundreds of strangers will be laughing at you for a long time. I hope we've learned our lesson.
[]Kayla
Yeah... those ones AREN'T from Japan. Read the article, the point is to guess in which countries those last pictures were taken.
[]gvg
Buddy, he said that the last few images, from the subway map down, was for you to guess where it came from. He never said it was from Japan.
[]Elizabeth
Apparently Steven doesn't know how to read. It clearly says "It's also fun to see what comes up when you do an 'only in [...]' search using other place names. Can you guess where each of the images below are from?" Just sayin' jackass, try reading before you start complaining.
[]Michael
steven
[]this is on stumble now. therefor not only hundreds of people will be laughing at you, but hundreds of thousands of people will be laughing at you. LIKE I DID! and hey maybe even a couple people from Japan?

[]Anju
I am laughing at him from Japan right now.
[]Madeleine..
Um, dude, The cow wash, it doesn't say the car wash,snake wash etc pictures are from Japan. You're supposed to guess where each one was taken.
[]Peter
You should probably go back and re-read every line of text in this article and not just look at the pictures. Otherwise you sound like a supid person trying to act smart.
[]Chloe
He didn't say that those photos were from Japan. He asked you to guess where they were from.
[]Felipe
U are one of the biggest idiots ive ever seen in my life
[]Daft Stevens Salvation
read the article you tool
[]K
The last four images were for the readers to guess where these places are. If you look above the four images, you will see, "It's also fun to see what comes up when you do an "only in [...]" search using other place names. Can you guess where each of the images below are from?"
Duh...
[]Learn to read.
rowan
i agree, Im an Australian and we have signs like that all through the outback,
[]JJ
Wow, you do realize it says that those pics are not from Japan right? It shows the last 4 so that you can guess where they are from, clearly not Japan ass hole.
[]Mimi
ITS NOT SUPPOSED TO BE IN JAPANESE
[]Ryan
Hahahahahahaha made my day
[]Janel
It's fun to guess where those other non japan pics were from. Maybe read on next time. You got the dumb.
[]Truman
Maybe you should read. He says that it is fun to do it with other places too. And to try and guess. Which you did...accidentally.
[]Hana
Dear dumb shit, a check of your reading skills is required. It clearly states to do other "only in..." searches, meaning outside of Japan before all the pictures you complained about. Wow...just, wow.
[]C'Mon
Guys, don't feed the troll.
[]You all fell victim to a pretty obvious trolling.
rodge
haha fail troll apparently isn't fail
[]Cronin
Haha that is NOT a pretty obvious troll. He's just a complete moron. I don't think you know what trolling is
[]DuckyBear
Yeah, he wasn't trolling. He just didn't read the text. I almost want to say you're being a troll by posting that... thus causing a trolling paradox. But, you suck at it.
John
Those pics aren't from japan. they are from elsewhere. They actually tell you that. they are from Australia, England(I think), DC, and Thailand.
[]StevenGobblesFatRod
assclown. get a life loser.
[]Ed
You realize the car wash, subway tattoo, snake wash, etc. are labeled "only in...?"
[]As in... you're supposed to guess where it is....
AKA... NOT "only in Japan". 0-o
TJ
You're a dick Steven. Settle down a little bit.
[]John
Steven if you haven't gotten the hint yet, you're not very smart.
[]anon
successful troll is very very successful
[]Olivia
Steven, you are a silly blundering fool. You tried to make yourself sound smarter than everyone else but ended up sounding like a complete idiot. Please, hon, next time, make sure you know what you're talking about before you put it on the internet.
[]Cecilia
That nipple scarf is awesome. The people wearing them look ecstatic.
[]Jess
Before you decide to be a douche you should make sure you know what you are douching...:)

dude he said the last three were NOT japan
[]Scarlet
My favorite part of this comment is not the stupidity, self righteousness, nor how it is obvious that you were just looking to complain and insult something. My favorite part is all the replies. Thank you, everyone involved, for joining together and making sure this "Steven" never posts another comment without reading the article and the comment about 40 times.
[]Steven Too
Dear Steven,
I read this:
It’s also fun to see what comes up when you do an “only in […]” search using other place names. Can you guess where each of the images below are from?
Did you?
[]Pink Tentacle
katie: You can find the DC subway map tattoo by searching for "only in London"!
Steven: The bottom 4 images are from outside Japan. You are right about the 2nd one -- it's from the US, but where in the US? You are also correct about the 3rd and 4th ones -- they are from Thailand and Australia.
[]texas_baldy
Of course, the car wash is "Only in Texas" !! Where else would you see somebody washing their prize Longhorn?
[]Shay
The shot of the swimming pool looks like how I remember the Hanshin Department Store on New Year's Eve day...plus water. :P
[]Carlos
this 1st is from the DC,MD and VA area i recognized the metro map
[]Meghan
I love #5 and #9. (i am a animal lover)
[]Jack
The first guess picture is a map of the D.C. Metro except it's missing the left end of the Orange Line for some reason :/ Maybe its a really old tattoo
[]Thomas
The only reason I guessed it was from the DC area is because of Fallout 3...
[]steven
poop
[]Reece
Well the last one is from my native Australia I recognise our signs and outback anywhere. It's probably in Western Australia or North Queensland where there are insane gaps between civilisation and desert. Seriously if you come here and plan on driving out and about pack in case you get stuck because you can die out here.
[]Steven
DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCK.
[]Skunkworks
I think it's sad that most of the comments on this here website are about one trolls retard comment and not the actual content of the site.
This is a cool idea for getting something worthwhile from Google searches, because most of the stuff Google fetches me now is completely self-interested and it really burns me to see my once loved search engine spew nothing but bilious clouds of feces these days.
[]DuckyBear
He wasn't trolling. He's seriously just stupid. Which makes it even more ridiculous that it took everyone over four years to stop commenting about him.
[]Piper
i just stumbled this and yes - steven's stupidity is still going stong via the web...congrats guy!
[]Kevin
Stumbled on this... Interesting article. Also, STEVEN'S IDIOCY IS CONTINUING STRONG.
[]Lafonda
Just stumbled on this. Of course the lonhorn one is in Texas! Oh, and steven is a ra-tard!
[]Jess
So are people who can't spell 'retard'....
[]Sal
Almost the end of the year and Steven is STILL an idiot. Congrats, retard!
[]Sal
the year would be 2010...my mistake. But still...4 years of people making fun of you! Good run, fucktard!
[]Lawliet
The Robot Girl is from China. That's Chinese writing, not Japanese, not to mention all of the other pictures that people have pointed out. Not all of these are Japanese.
[]Taylor
Once AGAIN they say that they are not all from Japan thank you for being another Steven
[]Matt
Hey, just so you know if you're referencing the case-mod as The Robot Girl...that writing is definately japanese, theres hiragana and katakana on those signs, and written chinese languages dont have either of those...
[]Kanji and Chinese characters are very similar though, so its easy to get them mixed up :/
WOW
Steven may not have done this on purpose but u all got Trolled so hard. Only one person needs to respond to an idiot
[]Cronin
If he didn't do it on purpose, then he's not a troll. Plus, if we enjoy making fun of someone, we should all get a chance too. That way, everyone wins!
[]Mishca
Actually no one wins when someone is being made fun of :/ true story
[]Let's Beat a Dead Horse!
There are a few dozen commentators on here who, I suspect, would happen upon a dead horse only to pull out their baseball bats to attempt to beat it to death. As WOW said, we can all see his errors for ourselves, there's no need to repeatedly point it out.
[]alib
But you can see for yourself the error that the commentators have made, repeatedly pointing out the error of 'steven'... and 'wow' has already pointed out that 'only one person needs to respond to an idiot.' We can all see the error of the commentators for ourselves, there's no need to repeatedly point it out. But then any future readers will see your error for themselves, so there's no need for me to point it out. My bad.
[]Jess
I'm a vegetarian.....
[]Sar
December of 2010 and steven still looks like an idot. Kudos.
[]Mike
Haha did stumble bring me here cause of the Japanese (and other places, as has been established) pics or because of the troll?
[]Steven
Wait, these aren't even in Japan!
[]Stumbler
*Applauds*
[]Spryte
I'm curious where the "swimming pool" photo was taken. Never seen anything quite like that since I've been here.
[]john
yo steven..wtf are you thinking the article clearly says they aren't from japan
[]Jess
Yo John what are you thinking? 10,000,000 other people already said that!
[]josh
lol thats the D.C metro
[]mussa
Anyone who decided to tell Steven that the last few pictures aren't from Japan, after it was clearly stated in the first response to him, is dumber than Steven. 60 people repeating the same exact thing in different words shows what a country full of sheep we are in.
[]Poopy Butt
Stumbled on this! Gooooood shit hahahaha
[]Amy
Am I the only one that thought of Where's Waldo with the first picture?
[]Hisham
I wonder what you get when you google: "Only Steven the dumbass"
[]Jess
Wait wait I got one! GOOGLE: "only in Steven's brain"
- Your search returned 0 matches -
[]SuperCoolWinner
I stumbled here and feel obligated to post something even though I have nothing of value to add simply because I was high enough to read this whole thing.
[]awesomeguy
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ME TOO DUDE
[]Blind
I second that... Nice and chi-eyed.. Stoned+Stumble=sexy time
[]stumbled
relevant comment about irrelevant pictures that ARE NOT FROM JAPAN :(
blog fail big time
I think if you're going to have a blog about Japan to make it easier for people who won't be actually reading the blog you should keep all photos relevant to your title...Just in case of more Stevens.
Or!!! Better yet don't that's too easy! STEVENS SHOULD READ!
[]maybe he's illiterate
BOON
Hey wait... those last 4 pics aren't from Japan. You need to check your facts bud.
;)
[]kalli
Its kind of sad that the most entertaining part of this is all the comments about steven. I would have to say though the nipplescarf=awesome. Steven you're still a retard.
[]Avery
That deserves a stumble high five!

Hahaha muss you took the words right out of my mouth.
[]But I would like to sAy on this august day of 2011, I am still laughing at
Stevens idiocracy.

[]Haha funny nipplescarf
Nipple scarf, are they laughing because it's odd looking to have it on or trying to cover their own size î‰ hehe
[]Mischa
the tattoo metro map is in Washington DC
[]FUNKY MONKEY
Steven, you're very stupid. Also it's safe to say this has gone viral. Steven is now as hated as Rebecca Black, Justin Bieber, Hitler and Osama Bin Laden combined. And last, HI INTERNET!
[]Jess
I would say if anything Steven is loved for his comic relief.

Fuckin hilarious!!!!!!!!!! this is not the first site i STUMBLED upon and the comments were better than the site. i thoroughly enjoyed all the repetitive steven bashing and state that i would love a nipple scarf :) HAPPY STEVEN BASHING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[]Alisha
Oh yeah. Forum Stupidity of the Month award goes to Steven! Stumble for the effin' win brah! brofist :D
[]Alex
I love how people are calling Steven am idiot when they don't even know the differences between too, to, and two; there, they're, and their; it and it's; and a and an. Stay in school kids.
[]Alex
*an
[]grammer?
If you are reading this, you undoubtedly know that almost all of the comments prior to this one were posted by idiots. To cite a few examples, we have Steven, a huge swarm of anti-steven critics, and even a few sorry attempts at trolling. There are even several examples of people pretending that grammer matters and assumptions that schools still produce people who care enough to bother with that archaic and stagnant language stuff.
[]What I want to know is.... WHERE CAN I ORDER MYSELF ONE OF THOSE SCARF THINGIES???? and if someone previously mentioned something about that.... I missed it because I pretty much only look at the pictures... and I can't be bothered to type anything into google at the moment...
A bit of an obsessive nerd
Hey, guess what? It's "grammar", not "grammer", but after I let you know that you are just another one of those idiots that is trying way too hard to be cool, I have to say I wholeheartedly agree that most of these people are very similar to the scarecrow in The Wizard of Oz: in desperate need of a functional brain... I wonder if there is such thing as a stupidity overdose; if so, I am on the verge of a diagnosis...
[]Have a nice day ;D
Alex
Ahh, ignorance is bliss. Just so you know, it's spelled grammar.
[]jj( grammer)
REALLY DUDE? like i care! and ill keep spelling grammer wrong if i freaking want
[]Johnny
Really, jj( grammer)? What a childish retort.
[]Kitty
So I just wanted to know where those last pictures WERE from. Instead I had to look through 80 million comments about how Steven was a moron and doesn't know how to read.
Thanks people of the world who were actually creative with their insults :)

Aaaaaand Steven is still a retard! *and the crowd goes wild!*

Hello,
My name is Steven. I would like to sincerely apologize to:
a) the author of this article. I was arrogant and self-righteous, and there was no justification for either.
b) all the other readers and comment-writers here, for implying I was better than them
c) the nation, people, Emperor and government of Japan, for indicating they do not write anything in English. That is not necessarily the case
d) God above, for having been born
e) my parents, for bringing disgrace upon them by posting one ill-advised and hallucinogen-induced comment
f) the Internet, for having to endure this travesty for the last 9 years
g) everyone reading this comment, for conveying the impression that I meant anything in this comment
