Google Street View’s Top Encounters Captured on Camera

All Dolled up

Tsukimi Ayano grew up in Nagoro, Japan, although her family moved when she was still a toddler. When she grew up and went back to the hamlet, she decided to make life-sized dolls of the people she used to know who lived there. That's what you're looking at here. These aren't genuine people waiting for the bus; they're dolls of people who used to live in the town that she manufactured to replace the people she recalled.

As of today, the village is very empty, yet if you drove through it, like the Google Street View car did in 2012, you wouldn't know.
