/jp/ - Otaku Culture

Live the dream.

Fap, play touhou

Grab-a-feel in public transportation and maybe buy a pair of used pantsu from a vending machine. The sky is the limit, why would you come here to ask in this hypothetical situation?

Stop posting on /jp/ and enjoy your trip.

That's what I would do with all of my time if I was in your situation.

Kyoto you say... too bad it's not autumn.

>>5205104
Ask /trv/ or /int/.

Oh visit Nintendo's HQ.

>>5205104

These remind me of the pictures that were in the booklet I got with some "Learn Japanese" cassette tapes from the early 90's.
Fucking nostalgia-bomb.

Visit the official must see places, Kyoto has a lot.

>>5205147
Don't be a bureaucrat.

>>5205147
Oh, come on. Are you saying Japan is not /jp/ related?

>>5205194
It isnt a VN, Touhou, or VN fightan game, then no, it isnt /jp/ related
They might as well rename /jp/ to touhou

Burn down Kyoani for us.

>>5205206
This.

>>5205146
A good garden is a pleasure in any season.

What are you doing in Kyoto?

Sit inside and browse /jp/, not like there's anything else to do in fucking Kyoto.

Yuba.

Food in Kyoto.
Delicious!

Get out of /jp/, you don't belong

Stroll around Gion, it is a nice peaceful part of the old city.

hang yourself.

>>5205879
Forgot my pic. 5pm is the best time as the Geisha will be travelling to their customers.

...but don't get your hopes too high...

Kinkakuji is a nice visit, the grounds is one huge garden which is quite nice. The large number of students on school trips can be annoying though.

If you visit Nara, do not feed the deer. They're cute, but you're asking for trouble if you do.

The world's biggest wooden building, Todaiji Temple, is also worth visiting.

Assassinate the God Emperor of Dune.

Of course Kiyomizudera is a must visit.

Deer are adorable.

There was a very long queue of people waiting to do this at Kiyomizudera, supposed to bring you good luck or something.

Ryoanji Zen temple is a waste of time though. I paid 500 yen just to see this?!

>>5205936

If you're with a loved one, stroll down the Kamo River at night.

And don't forget to enjoy the food!

>>5205946
lol, you loose 500 yen in your sofa every other day. big deal

Here is the problem. You are in Kyoto and its late May. This means its hot as balls AND its the rainy season. If you are around for 5 weeks you'll probably catch the Gion Matsuri though.

The problem with Kyoto is that its old and quiet. No really, in comparison to most towns there is little nightlife. Its like "Hey lets go party at historic Colonial Williamsburg."

Yes you should visit the shrines and the forests; that's a must. But after a while, they all start to seem the same. If you have a JR pass, I suggest exploring other towns. If not, well you should still do it despite the little extra cost. Osaka is like 30 minutes away, and Miyajima Island (its the one with the floating torii), Himeji (awesome castle and gardens), Hiroshima (yes you should visit) are not too far.

When I visited that, I saw a fat bald shirtless Caucasian pour the water on himself while his friends laughed and took pictures.

I wanted to end him.

In Kyoto also.
You will get bored of temples/shrines/parks quickly. They are plentiful but you'll be here long enough to want to do other things. Kyoto is small and easy to get around but IMO overall boring compared to what is available in Tokyo and Osaka/Kobe. Kyoto人 can be prudish and are known for being pretty conservative. That said, there are fun/cool places around downtown and in the neighborhoods surrounding Kyoto University. Its hard not to have a good time in the Sanjo district.
Also, rent/steal/acquire a bicycle. It is the best way to explore Kyoto since everything is flat and more or less has a grid layout.

>>5205961
Are you Chinese?

>>5205961
Om nom nom.

Thanks tour guide OP. I'll visit someday.

Rape a few women, burn down some buildings, rob people, etc

>>5206028
Hey now, this isn't China and you aren't a Jap during WW2.

My favourite places were http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sanj%C5%ABsangen-d%C5%8D and Fushimi Inari (pictured).

>>5205946
I wasn't sure if the other people sitting there and staring intently at the garden were genuinely impressed by it or they were just trying to fit in with everyone else...

Oh, and do find a nice Japanese girl to keep you company if you speak Japanese, makes things so much more fun.

Man, coming back from Japanese cities/Singapore really makes me feel disgusted at how filthy ones in England are. Trash and discarded cigarettes everywhere here... I can't live here. ;_;

>>5205961
I had ryokan food at an onsen ryokan in Shin Hodaka in northern Gifu but most of the hors d'oeuvers were probably too refined for my palate for me to appreciate them...

..and breakfast.

>>5206149
>>5206135
How does one go about eating this? Where do you start? Where's the rice!?

moe

>>5206193
I just sort of randomly picked at things with chopsticks trying not to finish it too quickly. I can't remember if there was rice at breakfast or not, but there was rice with the main dish at dinner.
