Otaru 100 Scenes vol.32

"What is this?" I found while walking around Otaru

What is this? I've seen it in two places so far, but I still have no idea. The answer is... "What are you talking about? This is just a chimney!" Is it a sad thing that makes dreams and romance disappear?

It is a rectangular shape about 1.5 to 2 meters wide, with the top cut at an angle and what appears to be a tin roof. In one place... various antennas are attached to the fuselage. There are two angle brackets on the side of the roof with electrical wires running down them.

There is also a window at the bottom that looks like it could be used for a Japanese version of Romeo and Juliet. And there is another one... Unfortunately, you can't see its three legs, but this crow is probably the legendary Yatagarasu. This god in Japanese mythology protects this place.

The slanted top, numerous antennas, two electric wires, a Romeo and Juliet window, and a Yatagarasu... these are the five clues. The mysterious large, protruding rectangular object... so what on earth is it?

Nickname: UCO unidentified cube object
