HOLE-Y crap! Did you know that Japanese manhole covers are actually beautiful pieces of art? Check out these manholes I found while travelling in Japan!
Manhole covers are so popular in Japan that there are collectible cards of them, manhole bus tours, a manhole summit, and even designer manholes! (Check out that new Hello Kitty one).
If you love Japanese manhole covers, you can even wear them around on a t-shirt, courtesy of 47Regions, a Tokyo printing press company!
