Where is that? Particularly interested in that tower in the middle of the distance.

>>17015250
It is a view of Kyouto from the mountains around Kiyomizu-dera (pictured)

The tower is Kyouto Tower

>>17015250

It is Kyoto tower.

Absolutely hideous.

They just renovated most of the building under it though, and it is pretty nice.

Whats with the sideways photos?

>>17021731
Phones especially make use of the orientation exif tag when taking photos to take them in the same orientation and then have the application rotate them.
4chan strips exif tags.

>>17021731

Mine was a negative scan I forgot to rotate.

The others are most likely phone shots where rotation info is in the exif which 4chan ignores.

>>17022418
You could eat off that road

>>17021481
is this Kyoto?

>>17021343
Ah! my mistake. I just noticed someone else posted it in there now.
It is my goal to find new videos like these guys to support them to make more content. Also, just to cover my bottom, a picture from one of my trips to Japan.

These are from my last trip to Tokyo, was pretty rusty with a DSLR tho

I'm pretty sure this picture is crooked, but I can't manage straighten it

>>17026290
this was taken right besides the last picture. the contrast between the blocky apartment buildings and these old houses were interesting

>>17026310
Realized that I might have fucked my camera up when I saw this pic, smashed it pretty bad the day before

>>17026334
........ This is beautiful

>>17026290
>tfw no comfy apartment in a stupidly tall and thin Japanese building

>>17026542
What are those holes for?

Guys who visited Japan for a holiday - how many photos did you take and what was the duration? For some reason curious as to "how many photos a day on average is usually taken" during a trip like this.

>>17021179
>>17021179
THE KING IS ALIVE.

>>17026765
Pic is pretty telling, but that's just what's left. from the file names I can see that I ended at DSC_0600.

>>17026765
Some thousands between my camera and my phone in 7 days. I'm trigger happy when it comes to photos.
Cool stuff.

>>17026765
No idea. Alot? It depends on what you are doing. I didn't bother taking pictures of women pretending to be geisha or super tourist spots. Far too many pictures of that stuff online. I'd take pictures of my apartment, cats in windows, my meals, beautiful sights, random things in the night. I've never seen the need to take 10000 photos a day, when you'll never look at them all ever again. Take what you want and enjoy Japan.

>>17026504
Pretty proud of that one, the light reflection will never stop triggering my autism tho

>>17026765
I was there for 9 days and took about 579 pictures, some cities or areas I took a lot more than others though

>>17026765
My first Japan trip was three weeks and I took about 2000 photos on my DSLR.
My second trip was an entire month and I took about 4000 photos.

>>17027523
Is that in Taito-ku?

you're all old tacos

>>17027659
Couldn't tell you sorry, all I know is that's somewhere in between Sensou-ji and Akihabara (maybe)

>>17027868
>Sensou-ji
Loved that one. Then walking down Nakamise-douri.

>>17026765

My first trip to Japan was up to 400 a day depending on where I went.


I came home with like 3k. I will check the actual number in a bit.

>>17028007
It did smell great walking down there, too many tourists though

>>17026542

Is it true that Japanese buildings aren't really insulated and got super cold in the winter and super hot in the summer?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6h-ADCRLCgI
This kind of thing is what I love about Japan, it seems wherever you go there's this stark juxtaposition between hyper modernity and ancient tradition that really makes the country uniquely beautiful.

>>17030959
I think it's mostly only houses in Hokkaido that have things like double glazing and central heating

>>17030959

Yes, it sucks.

>>17031035
It's weird, when I was in Tokyo, I was in a temple somewhere, on top of a hill (Kanda Shrine, from my googling and what I can remember).
Then I decide to walk randomly. I go down the hill and continue walking. I don't need to walk much and then I find large, crowded streets. I look around. Then I notice "I'm in Akihabara." That was my first time there, and was a bit shocking.

>>17030959
It's not as bad as people make out.

It is true of older buildings.

>>17026765
I havent gone to Japan since I got my Dslr but I usually take about 2500 a week on the past 2 trips Ive taken to Vietnam and China. I imagine I'll be taking more when I next go to Japan.

While Im at it, any less well known cities or towns that /jp/ could recommend? Im planning a December-January trip for later this year.

>>17026542
Holy shit I know where this is. This is near Akebonobashi, I used to work there.

Thank you for making this thread again, I saw it wasn't up and felt sad earlier today. You forgot to give it the proper name though.

>>17026765
I will be going for three weeks in three weeks, a trip from Tokyo along most of the southern coast of Honshu to Hiroshima. I'm hoping to get a lot of photography done. I'm really really new to the whole thing though and would love to get some hints on when and where to go.

>>17036742
>You forgot to give it the proper name though.
Oh sorry, I wasn't sure if there was a proper name for these threads since they seem to appear and then disappear for a while so I just tried to put as many key words as I could in the OP so people could find it.
It would be nice if these can be a regular thing though, although I only have one fairly short trip's worth of pictures to share myself

>>17036954

I reckon it's not allowed to take photos in the onsen?

I got some pix from those guys who went on a pilgrimage to Hinamizawa back when Higurashi was poplar.

>>17041531
>>17041537
Do people still live in those?

>>17041557
Some of them at least, yes. Those are looking pretty well maintained.

Upon closer look, Japan really is slightly ugly.

>>17041557
There's a Begin Japanology episode about how the town replaces the roof every so often

>>17043237
'no'

>>17043237
I would agree in some aspects.
If you go somewhere like Kobe there is a lot of 80s buildings around due to rebuilding from the quake in that area. Looks kinda ugly.

>>17048048
What the fuck is even going on in this image. Question mark.

>>17048144
It's night.
It's raining.

>>17075300
Why're you interested in that area?

Posting more cherry-picked pictures of the zone

Damage was probably from a recent minor quake

This might have been some kind of detoxification work, or soil rejuvenation work.

Probably workers' cars.

Also these videos, they probably give a better sense of how it was:
https://youtu.be/Gocb_YubDa8
https://youtu.be/jvrOCzpXG84

So how is this of interest to you, Fukushima-asking anon?

>>17076415
Did you get special permission to be there or did you sneak in?
If you snuk in how difficult is it to do that?

>>17076984
I was actually passing through the area, entirely unaware it was near the nuclear station. I was taking the Jouban Line up the east coast - the line stopped at Tatsuta and you had to take a JR arranged shuttle bus to get to Minami-Souma, where the line resumed all the way to Sendai. I decided to walk to Tomioka and take the bus from there, past the sign that says "only vehicles allowed for the next 6km", and no one stopped me - once police pulled up and asked for my visa, but that was all, and they didn't seem to mind me being there. I never did go into Ookuma, which would probably have been rather more dangerous - the radiation levels I was walking through were probably 2 microSv/h, for reference.

It was also quite interesting - one of the policemen was from the Fukui police, and apparently he said that as this region needed policing they had sent for manpower from all around Japan.

>>17076176
I just find it interesting to see how nature reclaims areas that have been abandoned. Seeing it live would be pretty cool

>>17076597

Thank you for posting these, kind anon

It's Kyoto, and that tower is Kyoto Tower.

>>17077152
I'd like to go and see it myself, but I don't want to be mistaken for a tourist who's just going for amusement.

Did any of the locals give you grief?

>>17059647
>>17059652
Is there a specific time all the lights turn on or something?

>>17060411
It really bothers me thanks to Wani that you pretty much only ever see it as 入口 rather than 入り口.

Some photos of Kenrakuen in Kanazawa that I took this February. It is considered one of Japan's Three Great Gardens.

Sorry, Kenrokuen*

>>17085886
There are barely any locals, the only people there are workers. I think some of the regions have been fully opened up to public already, but its not likely many of the people that were evacuated will return. Sometimes I almost felt like walking through a ghost town.

See pic related - detox work for the town of Tomioka has long been completed, and I think Namie also, but I'm pretty sure Ookuma will still be closed off to pedestrians.

>>17091120
How is Kanazawa, by the way? I heard it's like Kyoto, except not filled with tourists.

>>17094766

>kyoto without tourists

On one hand, I want the new linear line to bypass Kyoto so we have less tourists.

On the other I want it to come here so we can have 40 minute trains to Tokyo.

>>17095329
Why do you live in a city with 17 UNESCO world heritage sites if you don't want to deal with tourists?

>>17095336

Because outside of tourist season it is the best city in the world.

Plus it has some of Japan's best universities.

>>17095329
> except not filled with tourists
Maybe a few years ago but Kenrokuen is just as filled with tourists as any popular Kyoto temple nowadays.

>>17095353
>it is the best city in the world.

Reasons?

>>17095379

Lots of reasons.

The big one for me is the history. A lot of traditions and things are done in Kyoto that are forgotten in the bigger cities. The block I live on does hi no youji with wooden blocks older than anyone remembers. They say they are from the edo period but I kind of doubt they go that far back. Everywhere you look there is some building hundreds of years ago. You can't go a block or two without finding something woth history to it.

>>17095353
>outside of tourist season
When is that, really?

>>17026700

Fire escape hatch.

Here are some GIFs made from live photos from a trip a while back.

>>17098660
Probably just after cherry blossom season, before summer holidays, before the autumn colors kick in and before the snow.

>>17100240

Pretty much.

Winter is also rather clear. Doesn't snow very often in Kyoto, so it isn't a big tourist attraction.

>>17100276
That's a pity. I have seen photos of like Kiyomizudera and that bamboo grove out Arashiyama with snow and it looks great.

>>17011256

From last summer. I can't wait to go to Japan again.

Any Hokkaido requests?

>>17134607
all of it

>>17134900
I'll do in exchange for information about /jp/ related shops/events in the Sapporo area other than Madarake and Animate this month and next.

>>17102511
Rather bloodsuckers, monolith fighters and anomalies

>>17134607
Nothing specific, but I might be going there at the end of the year. Am interested in pretty much anything, even better if I can take nice photos with my DSLR.) Also any information about Kagoshima is welcome too, as I'd like to see the volcano at night.

>>17137727

Shame, it was pretty nice. Lots of nooks all over the island to explore. Did you at least see the fireworks?

>>17011287
miyajima?

>>17041090
nigger you can't even take photos in the mall. at least not AEON.

>>17141090
A lot of places have no photos signs up no matter what country you are in, but they hardly enforce it unless you are doing something disruptive.

Museums and the like are more likely to enforce because they consider people posting photos of their exhibits online to be competition.
And of course onsens ban photography because people are fucking bathing.

>>17141106
>>17041090

An option for onsens would be the rooms with a small private bath attached.

But you would have to supply your own nekkid japanese chicks willing to be photographed.

>>17141005
Neither. I already left the island before that. But a few days prior I already saw a fireworks event at Kawaguchiko, which was much less crowded, so all was fine.

>>17141055
Yep

>>17141793

You are actually worse than Japanese tourists. They always had those Nikon cameras with them back in the 80s. Classic film cameras, I miss film.

>>17144504

Film is best.

God I wish that were me.

>>17015830
I could never dare take this picture. It's rude to insert yourself into that moment.

>>17153716
It was probably a public place.
Last time I went to Meiji Jingu there were a series of weddings going on there, same kinds of processions, hundreds of random shrine visitors around taking photos and such.

>>17153716
It was in public and there were dozens of other people taking pictures, also there was literally another wedding procession every 10 minutes so it was obviously a very popular place to do so.
(Pictured is another procession a short time later, the surrounding people are just random tourists not friends/family of the couple)

>>17155130
>>17153716
>>17015830

Yea, seriously dude.

You don't get married at a famous shrine while it is open to the public and expect people not to take pictures.

In fact, the bride and groom probably enjoyed that part of it. They were the center of attention.

>>17021149

exif?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXxh5fUDlSY

>>17142201
takoyaki!!

Not only in these pictures but also on Google maps street view, why there are no people walking in the streets?

In European cities there are always people in the streets near bus stops, malls, stores or simply walking around. Japan being healthy I thought there would be plenty of people walking too.

>>17166226

Pictures look better without people in them.

But for many of these pictures, it looks like they are in a really inaka place where cars are mostly used.

There are a ton of people walking around in the bigger areas though.

>>17166226
Dunno but when I was there there were people all over the place

>>17168082
Hmm. I was looking at Mito and some other cities around it, literally no one in the streets after a couple of hours street viewing in Google maps.

Maybe those cities were pictured in a Sunday or something.

>>17168092
Well I presume they wouldn't want to go out in rush hour or most of the pictures would just be rows and rows of cars
