Extreme Fukushima fun

[Taro Toporific]

Having a truly romantic Japanese Valentine’s Day last Saturday, the Japanese lady shown below is enjoying an “Extreme Ironing” event on the frozen Lake Hibara at 17 degrees Fahrenheit (-7℃).

Part of the volcanic caldera of Mount Bandai, Lake Hibara is a popular ice-fishing spot in Fookushima Prefecture, so it has to be good.

WTF? Is this some sort of really terrible attempt to relate to shoofoo viewers at home who are likely ironing their keeper's shirts?

On a slight tangent: I'm pretty sure there have been people who have been urbexing in the exclusion zone, does anyone know where they put their pictures? I haven't been able to find any on the English J-urbex sites.

Weird people... From what I see in the bunker you'd think that ironing clothes is illegal... Mominlaw borrowed my iron 4 year ago to dry some paper she forgot under an open window on a rainy day (a common occurrence here)... Never seen it again since... Pretty sure it's lost forever...

Maybe irons are like umbrellas and bicycles? Hope that helps.......................
