Inside Shinchan's real-life school in Japan, includes a near-identical recreation of Futaba Kindergarten
Japan's Awaji Island invites anime lovers and Shin-chan addicts throughout the world to get a real-life experience. Yes, you read it right! You can now step out into the fiction world or break through the TV screen to witness every part of Shin-chan and his school life closely. From his pink kitten school bus, pastel-painted walls, sunflower classroom, to familiar hallways and staff room, you can explore and be a part of your beloved anime.
A real Sneak peek into Shin-chan's Futaba Kindergarten
Travel vlogger Nikhil Tripathi, who resides in Tokyo, often gives a glimpse of Shin-chan's world. Whether it is about movies, theme hotels, or tourist attractions, Nikhil leaves no stone unturned to offer a visual treat to his audience.
On May 2, Tripathi shared a reel stating that at Nijigen no Mori in Japan, Futaba Kindergarten has come alive. Right at the entrance of the Futaba Kindergarten, one can see Shin-chan's pink school bus rolling its wheels on the street. Not to forget, Yoshinaga Ma'am and Principal Bunta Takakura welcomed every visitor warmly.
As you step in, you walk down memory lane and feel an overwhelming sense of nostalgia. The pastel-painted walls, mirror rooms, sunflower classroom, character doodles, staffroom, and hallways grab all attention. Nikhil also shares a glimpse of the drawings done by Shin-chan and his friends, including Kazama, Nene, Masao, and Bo-chan, fondly known as the Kasukabe Defence Force. Nonetheless, it is a world straight out of your childhood TV screen.
Futaba Kindergarten has truly come alive at its best. It also has a cardboard maze where you can play hide-and-seek with Shin-chan and his gang. Additionally, the place allows you to indulge in a variety of tasks with Choco-Bi as a reward for completion. For a second, you will forget you grew up and feel like a 5-year-old again.

Source: IMDB The highly anticipated Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle movie has finally landed in Japanese theatres, and fans are buzzing with emotions. Adapted from the climactic "Infinity Castle" arc in Koyoharu Gotouge's manga, this film is a powerhouse of heartbreak, high-octane battles, and irreversible consequences. If you're wondering who makes it out alive and what this means for the final showdown against Muzan, here's your full breakdown, spoilers ahead! What happens in Demon Slayer Infinity Castle? The movie begins as the Demon Slayer Corps invades Muzan Kibutsuji's lair, the ever-shifting Infinity Castle, drawn in by Nakime's blood demon art. Split across dimensions, the Hashira and Tanjiro's team are forced into simultaneous brutal battles with the Upper Moons. Each encounter is personal and relentless, setting up emotional stakes while pushing our heroes to their absolute limits. The film balances character-driven storytelling with dynamic fight choreography that captures the sheer intensity of Gotouge's vision.

Muichiro delivers a valiant effort, unlocking his Demon Slayer Mark and showcasing the full range of Mist Breathing forms. However, Kokushibo's centuries of battle experience and terrifying Moon Breathing techniques push Muichiro to the edge.

‘Civilised way mai vibe': Japanese crowd's calm reaction to Daler Mehndi's ‘Tunak Tunak Tun' goes viral
A video showing a group of Japanese people calmly grooving to a high-energy Punjabi song has sparked a wave of reactions online. The clip, filmed at the World Expo in Osaka, features a stage performance of Daler Mehndi's iconic Tunak Tunak Tun song, complete with dancers and a Punjabi singer leading the show. What stole the show was the audience's reaction to the song. Instead of the usual jumping and dancing one might expect, the Japanese crowd vibed to the beat in a measured, synchronised manner, clapping with enthusiasm. The contrast was so striking that one X user, @Oye_Jahazi, posted the video with the caption: 'Japanese log Punjabi songs pe bhi itne civilised way me vibe karte hain (Even when Japanese people vibe to Punjabi songs, they do it in such a civilised way).' Japanese log Punjabi songs pe bhi itne civilised way me vibe karte hain 😭 — Jahazi (@Oye_Jahazi) July 18, 2025 The post quickly gained traction, with thousands of views and plenty of comments. 'Most civilized country for a reason,' one user remarked. Another quipped, 'Bechare bachpan se shant log hai (They've been calm since childhood). One of the nicest human breed on earth.' Meanwhile, a Japanese travel vlogger recently stirred discussion with a video reflecting on his interactions with Indians he met during his travels abroad. Unlike the viral Osaka clip, this one carried a more reflective, and somewhat critical, tone. The vlogger questioned a recurring pattern he noticed: 'I met so many amazing Indians while travelling abroad. But almost all of them said the same thing.' He said many Non-Resident Indians (NRIs) told him they left because they felt 'the system holds back those who want to do something big in India.' Another comment that kept coming up, he added, was: 'India is too hard to live in.' His video has since led to debate online, with viewers reacting to what some see as a harsh reality and others defending their homeland against generalisation.
