Imagine you’re strolling along the beach or a jetty by the sea. As you smell the fresh sea air and feel the ocean breeze, you notice something very strange coming toward the shore. What could it be, tossing around in the waves? As it gets closer, the shape is unmistakable. It’s a boat.
Only this boat doesn’t seem to be able to move under its own power or control its direction. In fact, there are no signs of life on it at all. While this might sound like some dystopian science-fiction movie, for residents of Japan’s long coastlines, it’s a fairly regular occurrence.
