You walk' em?

Just love the japanese safety guys.
You'll find'em all around Tokyo.

Busy back alley

>>11983301
Oh man! That's Matsuhiro in the red apron!
Haha, he never took that damn thing off.
What an awesome guy
I remember first meeting him during my initial trip to Tokyo when I got lost!
Must be an old pic, he passed away a little over 5 years ago.

not sure if anorexic tbh

I want to live in a small apartment in Tokyo. It is probably expensive.

>>11983389

You are probably right, there's a rehab clinic near there ;_;

Why are they so skinny?

I've seen this site before. So it is satire right, but not funny like the onion is?

>>11983582
I assume its one of those webpages are linked at the bottom of other webpages and link to stupid articles. You know like "10 famous actresses that were in the porn industry" and other shit like that.

>>11983383
Why did they censor the 買?

>>11983922
I sincerely apologize, I don't know what came over me.

>>11983913
No one is implying that except for your post. You're giving off a vibe like you're supposed to be some authority of Japan, hence why I called you out as the delusional weeb that you are.

>>11983926
did you read the op?

having some witty one liner like what with a picture of a japanese woman being posted on a western image board who still does not know much about japan will still have a stigma about them thinking anything they havent seen in the west themselves is automatically some weird japanese thing that only occurs in japan and no where else

fuggen weebs I swear

Get the fuck out, you both are unbearable weeboos,

Why does every good thread have to devolve into people having autism battles with eachother? Polite sage for off topic.

>>11983538
Well, of course that girl has problems, but the rest of the nips shown here are normal.

So is this thread basically some gaijin's viewpoint of his "lel quirky Japan XD" trip?

>>11984416
This thread is random shit people found interesting on Google Maps.

>>11984418
Why is it relegated to just Japan then? Surely there must be equally as interesting things going on somewhere else at the time all this was taken?

>>11984259
>Polite sage for off topic.
You dont need to announce it. Just do it and be on your way.

>>11984422
Because this is a /jp/ thread.

If somebody makes an music thread in /jp/ it's understood that people should post /jp/ music and not just fucking whatever.

Pretty! I'd like to live there

Why does Japan and Asian countries in general have such poor wire management?

Exiting the barber shop.

I never see people with parasols here where i live...

>>11985116
Large populations mean lesser space for said wire management because more buildings/apartments

>>11983913
I live in Los Angeles and see weird shit every day. I don't see people putting their dogs in kid's strollers, though. I see a lot of nasty old men that put kids in their carriages and close them up so that you can't see the kid and THINK it's a dog. But that's different. I saw an image of a guy kidnapping a child who had a large beard on 2chan and I've seen men with kids of a different race with huge hair. I look out for this kind of stuff, so I'm sure.

>>11985116

Dunno. I'm really guessing here:
1. Suburban areas are less regulamentated and they do cheap works, or
2. They build/rebuild houses so quiclky that it's impossible to make god power line management,or

3. If an earthquake occurs you can have immediate access to the broken cables for repair,so they leave that stuff that way.

But you are right, up there there's a fucking mess!

>mfw threads like these make me want to move back to Japan

But the only career option open to me there is as an english teacher, and I would be just throwing money away on rent each month as opposed to saving up to buy a place in my own country back home.

>>11985156
why would you ever want to go back home if you are living in Japan?

Parking in central Tokyo: Hell on Earth.
There's no such thing as free/unused space in downtown Tokyo.
Look at this little corner: transformed in a 2 car parking lot...

I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Meeee

>>11985169

Because working abroad and renting each month makes it difficult to save for retirement or to get on the housing ladder.

I agree though, Shibuya is much better
Roppongi was my least favorite area to be in when I visited
Anon could also have a great time working a second job at a music venue/bar around Shinjuku if he likes music and is good at making friends

Y-yaranaika?

what the hell, is he changing clothes on the street?
I can see his pants

>>11985206

That does sound like fun, I'll think about returning.

>>11985209
Of course you can see his goddamn pants, they're right there on his legs.

>>11984414

auto face scanner.
Blocks anything that looks like a face.

You know how cameras sometimes scans a face on a person's clothes? That's that.
That is why you sometimes see censorship on clothes or bushes.

>>11985069
That bunny girl shrine maiden looks way better than what I imagine when I put both of those together. It's gotta be the hair.

yes, that's obama.

I was checking Sapporo yesterday, pretty clean stuff and lots of trees everywhere. For some reason I am obsessed with clean facades. Back at home we had lots of dilapidated houses and just generally old looking houses, it always bothered me how no one took care of it. Not to mention the tags and graffiti everywhere. Seriously, if it was up to me I would edict a law to shoot taggers on sight.

>>11985143
That looks scary. I wouldn't want to walk beneath those cables all day.

>>11985326
I don't want to visit kilometers of nothing

miles is the standard universal measuremennt

>>11985181

How does that thing in front of the car work?

>>11986284
Maybe it pops up if you park there longer than you paid for?

This is my story of Geoguessr, as challenged by >>11983382

Finding a sign like this took a while, least of all one I could find on the map. I landed in Shugakuin, Kyoto. The sign points towards the Shugakuin Imperial Villa, which is a quite famous massive garden, and the Sekizanzen-in Temple.

>>11986306
This was my first attempt at finding myself just by trying to match things up on the map. I figured the blue line of water on the map was this split in the road. In retrospect this was nowhere close.

>>11986284
>>11986297

Kinda fails in that respect if the parking space next to it is empty as it is now.

>>11986309
The next useable sign, points to Shuko Gakuen, apparently a social welfare service group. The directions make finding my rough location a lot more obvious than the first.

>>11986319
Sooner or later I find an actual road. The point on the map isn't all that close, though.

>>11986284
If you think of it as a security device, then the device would pop up while in use, and when the owner of the car (or the police) decide the car has to go, then the device goes back down.

>>11986322
After several more minutes of going up and down various streets, I find my last sign and quickly close in on my exact location. This is Kitayama-doori; the stoplights in the middle of the map are the ones you can see in the picture. I win!

>>11986335
wat

>>11986340
This is the location it gave me on Google Maps.

>>11986342
and what it really looks like

>>11986347
And Maps confirms I was indeed at the exact location. Hooray!

>>11986351

I'm still not quite sure what you're doing, haven't clicked on that site, but congrats.

It drops you at a random location, and you have to locate where you are with just streetview and the map of Japan.

Japan always looks so cute and cozy-looking. especially rural areas and neighborhood streets. It makes me feel like I'd be safe. It looks wonderful when it's cloudy.

I'd love to live in that environment but without the social structure and horrible school/work ethic their society pushes on you.

>>11986704
Looks like you'd wanna check out the UK. It has about as much space landwise and you can enjoy the depressing weather all the same.

>>11986705
I've always had a liking for England, though with the rise of Muslim minorities they'd probably just be the Mexicans over here.

I do like "depressing" weather but I never saw it as depressing. I guess I really appreciate it because we almost never see it over here in California. I hate the weather here.

>>11986704
For some reason Japan with a sunny sky seems increeibly inviting. I live in an area with over 300 days of sun per year and when I think of it being sunny here it's just depressing.

It looks like a paid parking lot. You park your car in the space, the thing pops up so you don't try to drive off without paying. When you're ready to go, you pay for the time you've been parked, the thing goes down and you leave. Usually it's a bump in front of the rear tire like in >>11985209

Even when I'm banned for funposting I still come here just for them.

I truly enjoy them. Whoever you are and wherever you are OP, don't ever stop making them.

>>11989356
Not when you wear a bra.

>>11989366
They do if your bra isn't properly fitted, like many women wear.

>>11989381
A lot of bras have spaghetti straps to keep them from falling out of place and that usually only happens with women who opt to get wrong sized bras for whatever reason.

>>11989389
...Which a lot of women do. That's the point I'm making. She's more than likely wearing a bra, but it's not properly fitted. Many women don't wear properly fitting bras.

>>11987490

>>11989356
That's some bounce then. I wonder how far down it would go if she was running.

>>11990203
I find that street to be interesting.

Why doesn't /jp/ just share their Japan travel photos? They'd be nicer pictures I imagine.

>>11989104
very cute

>>11990253
It's the other way around, they are a fetish item because they are used by children.

>>11990263

Because traveling to Japan and getting decent photography gear is expensive.

>>11990263
>>11990282
I have some I could share, if you are interested.
But they're not very good, I only have a cheap camera and don't know much about photography, so I just snap them as they come.

>>11990296
I'm sure they're fine!

>>11990324

Isn't this the town Hanasaku Iroha was based off of?

>>11990453
No idea, I haven't watched that anime (yet). And I couldn't even check it, since I don't remember where exactly between Tokyo and Nagoya it was - as I said, just passed it in the train and the camera doesn't have fancy stuff like GPS.

>>11990381
I love this shot.

Wow Japan is so beautiful!

>>11990203
Since when does it have to be?

>>11990581
Once you get out of Tokyo, there are lots and lots of rice paddies.
This one is near Kakogawa.

Ahh~ warm weather.

And here I am trapped in Canada.
It's nearly April and still snowing and -15`C.
Fuck this gay planet.

Because earthquakes are super common and it's ultra expensive to keep redigging to fix the lines instead of propping them back up with wood.

>Seriously, if it was up to me I would edict a law to shoot taggers on sight.
You can't imagine how well I understand you. More realistically, I would see no problem with giving them six months to five years depending on reocurrence.
In fact I have this idea of getting a bunch of people, a bunch of different colors, and going out at night to spray over all the shit with the color closest to the background.
Morning comes and surprise, neighbors. Suddenly the city doesn't make you want to kill yourself that much.
I don't know people who would want to do this though. Well, I don't know people period.

>>11994116
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Undergrounding
>Disadvantages include:
>Undergrounding is more expensive, since the cost of burying cables at transmission voltages is several times greater than overhead power lines, and the life-cycle cost of an underground power cable is two to four times the cost of an overhead power line. Above ground lines cost around $10 per foot and underground lines cost in the range of $20 to $40 per foot.[3] In highly urbanized areas the cost of underground transmission can be 10-14 times as expensive as overhead.[4]
>Underground cables are more subject to damage by ground movement. The 2011 Christchurch earthquake in New Zealand caused damage to 360 kilometres (220 mi) of high voltage underground cables and subsequently cut power to large parts of Christchurch city, whereas only a few kilometres of overhead lines were damaged, largely due to pole foundations being compromised by liquefaction.

I'm surprised this thread is still alive.

I really enjoy 'Google strolling'.
