A favourite of mine was a kitchen food processor (mixie) whose instructions warned, Not to be used for the other use.

Nothing to do with Japan, but I had a cheap Eastern-European-made chemical balance once, the instructions for which told me that I had to store it in a clean, dry barn.

Found this board in Nagarahole forest. Nothing much wrong in the sign, except the word 'deers' that doesn't exist in English (not many people know this anyway).

Ahhh, the dears

That's a lovely sign!

I just made a fool of myself at office laughing at the freaking bell on the Splendor.

Could someone please add English captions for the hindi language boards.

@rohanjf: Merriam-Webster says that 'deers' does exist.
Deers - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary
