Clash leads to crash! Actually, it’s not an “L” sound and “R” sound error – just a bad translation of “shototsu” (衝突), which means “collision” – or perhaps “clash”. This sign is at a blind corner on the walkway between Hamamatsu-cho station and the Hinode pier. I thought the picture was amusing, whichever language the sign is in.
