Godzilla Hatchery Discovered
While walking from the station down to Inuboesaki (犬吠崎, the most easterly point in Chiba-ken and also famous for being the first part of mainland Japan where the sun rises on New Year's Day) I was alarmed to see what appeared to be a miniature Godzilla hatching in this restaurant carpark. I informed the appropriate authorities, and as I haven't heard any news in the meantime of a giant scaled beast tearing its way through Tokyo, I presume the matter has been dealt with.

Lexicographical note: "Inuboesaki" literally means "Cape of Barking Dogs", although on that day I didn't come across any. The gentleman on the bike indicated they had been either scared away or eaten following a recent spate of mysterious incidents involving a large, reptile-like creature.
