Why a Fish? Interesting Signs You Shouldn’t Miss!

Since my Phone camera broke, this project sadly was not continued.

So, I know what the sign says, but why a fish? Is it only connected to fishing? This image has intrigued me, and I feel like everyone should get a chance to see it! It’s one of those fun and quirky elements you stumble upon in Japan, and there’s always a story behind it.

A curious fish sign in Japan

For my non-Japanese readers, here’s what the sign is really about: It’s a safety warning telling passengers not to take action themselves if they drop something onto the tracks at the train station. Instead, they should contact station staff for help.

The fish might be there for decoration or as a way to catch attention—Japan often incorporates unique visuals to make safety messages more engaging and memorable.

Next time you come across something like this, take a moment to appreciate it—and maybe snap a picture. It’s all part of discovering the uniqueness that Japan has to offer!

Hungry Wave?!
