1. That is not snake, that is Unagi. Cough cough

2. Yeah I see them sometimes near parks or greenery, best to let cops and passerbys know and be on your way.

   Theyre rarely ever a danger or poisonous so best left alone.

3. I saw a large rat snake in the Furu River (downstream of Shibuya River) along Sakurada Street once. Surprised it got so big in the middle of the city but I guess there’s rats down there.

4. Ekans spotted

5. Make a wish

6. Nice Aodaisho.

7. Saw a snake in a Japanese garden once and pointed it out to a Japanese guy passing unsure if anything needed to be done. He said ‘that’s a small one’ and kept going 🤣

8. Thats more of a snek and not really a snake

   (Its a joke)

9. I’ve seen a large one near Meji-jingu shrine (the emperors garden). I almost stepped on one while jogging near the Kanda river park in Edogawabashi, and one in the residential neighbourhood a bit above that park. Near that river I’ve also seen lots of bugs, rats, turtles, a heron, fish, ducks, birds, and lizards, so I guess they have plenty of food!

10. I was in Japan for a month in May this year (from NZ where we have no snakes) and one of these guys slithered across the path in front of me. I was stoked.

11. Danger Noodle

12. How did it taste?
