They're in Japan, too. I had one run into my house as I was wondering where the fùck UberEats was with my order.
Shít disappeared once I spooked it from under the 下駄箱 (Shoe Storage), but popped back out in my kitchen 3 days later.
No cap, them shíts are MASSIVE. I have small hands (<7 inches), but it was the same size. Fun fact: they're one of the three fastest spiders in the world. It crossed from my cabinet to my downstairs bathroom floor (9 feet) in about 3 seconds

.
I would've let it live since they hunt roaches and other pests, but it kept walking towards me on the ceiling

.
They rarely bite, and even then, their venom is very tame for humans. They can kill a dog, though.
