Boats are apparently another part of Japan that can have fairly low ceilings, as this local posted on reddit. It would perhaps have been more comfortable for him to have stood outside, but this would not be a wise idea if the sea was choppy or the weather stormy. It would not be fun being so close to the ceiling if things got rough- let’s hope this man had his sea legs!

Here is another example of a tourist too tall for the entrance of a temple, this one apparently being a Shinto place of worship. Gates for Japanese temples, which are often serene and austere places, are generally intended to mark a transition between the everyday world and a place that is sacred; it might be hard to fully appreciate this significance when you are worried about hitting your head along the way.
