According to Lonely Planet, there is a strange phenomenon taking place on a relatively quiet street near Shimabara Castle in the Nagasaki Prefecture of Japan.

Three tiny holes in a residential unit are doubling as tiny peepholes for three very cute and inquisitive shiba inu dogs.

Thanks to social media, the three pooches have become world famous, and now attract visitors with their distinctive behaviour.

The owner of the property reportedly first cut some holes in the wall to provide airflow to the garden but added more upon noticing the inquisitive nature of his dogs.

Now, the three animals come to the holes whenever they’re called, and roam the property to see what is going on in the outside world.
