I went to Tokyo alone and now I'm lonely.

Never make the mistake of trusting others with your files again.

>>18966604
>Japanese speakers only

Is this some kind of soap land?

>>18976159
No, it's probably a bar. The other shops on the street are obviously bars and plenty of izayakas have no-foreigner policies.

>>18976203
>no-foreigner policies
when people hear this they tend to think Japan is full of "No blacks no dogs no Irish" type racism but really it's just because some bar/restaurant owners are worried they wouldn't be able to properly serve somebody who they can't communicate with

>>18974864

Always backup your raws.

A good combo is onedrive pointed to your lightroom library folder. Will automatically back up everything.

I believe Google and Amazon also give free unlimited storage for images.

>>18976159
>>18976203
Yeah it was one of a number of alleys populated with small bars, catering for 5-20 people or so. I'm not too sure where in greater Tokyo it was, though, because I was using my 7D that night and it doesn't have GPS.

The sign wasn't all that common but it did pop up from time to time and, where it did, it was mostly at smaller places in back-alleys; sometimes we were also asked to leave, straight after walking in, when it was apparent we didn't speak Japanese (I can read kana but still don't know what most of it means). It was a little confronting initially but we just had to accept it and find somewhere else. It wasn't so much of an issue as to cause us any real problems and we still had plenty of fun and found lots of great places to drink and/or eat yakitori.

Can I have a bigger version of it? Very nice photos, indeed.

>>18980399

Taken with Fuji Tiara.

Camera is a little cramped, but I love the lens. I am normally not a fan of it, but it has some neat vignetting to it.

A stereotypical Japanese playground.

>>18959375
why do the Japanese put vending machines fucking everywhere?

>>18974864
>>18976159
>>18978872
Tourists are so fucking stupid.

>>18985370
Welp, you got me there; I guess I'll never tourist again.
I can only assume that you've never left your home town.

>>18984409
For two reasons
1) they're super convenient
2) no niggers to vandalize them

>>18984409
So you can quench your thirst anytime.

>>18974864
Should have uploaded them to flickr instead.
You could try some file name guessing to see if the originals are just hidden behind some different filename.

>>18984409
A better question is what do they have against snack vending machines? It's always drinks and never food.

>>18981003
Thank you so much for an enlarged version. I have lived in Bunkyo-ku for about 24 years. This photo reminds me a street there, around Sugamo. I'm not quite sure if my perception is accurate, but there is definitely something to it.

>>18986642

3) You allow one to get placed on your property and you get some of the proceeds.

>>18986690

They have snack ones too. Usually in stations. There are even ice cream ones. There is one in Tokyo that has fresh, live crabs.

>>18986698

That was actually Kyoto, in Kamigyo-ku. The building at the end of the street (that you can barely see) is Doshisha University’s Ryoshinkan.

>>18986702
>3) You allow one to get placed on your property and you get some of the proceeds.
You also get to choose what it stocks.

>>18986690

>>18986708
Oh, what a twist. I've been to the campus before, I believe it was Imadegawa Campus, I remember having a lunch in Ryôshinkan, too.

Again, absolutely lovely shot there. I'm reverse-nostalgia'd.

>>18986708
Do you have a portfolio, or somewhere we would have permanent access to your lovely shots?

>>18981003
I have found the exact location where you took that picture, everything is where you've left them It seems.

>>18981003
>>18986708
I have found the exact location where you took that picture, everything is as how you've left them It seems.

Your quality shows, though. The real deal isn't as good as how you've portrayed it.

>>18986725

Yep, Imadegawa campus. The Ryoshinkan is only a few years old, three or four I think. The cafeteria, which is located in the basement, is nothing special (outside of the sasami cheese katsu), but the bakery above it on the first floor is fantastic.

>>18986729

Nope, I post here and reddit occasionally but that is it.

Most of my stuff is boring touristy shots of Kyoto. The snow one was a fluke, don’t think I could reproduce it. I was mainly going for the cool snow flurries. I don’t really have an eye for Japanese street photography, too used to it to see it I think.

>>18986791

Pretty much, it was only three or four months ago. The only change is out of frame. Directly to the left was a really sketchy looking cafe that was torn down, they were doing construction when I took it, but it is now a nice, new house.

>>18986814
Haha, Coffee&Tea Spot フレーバー, it seems.

It looks quite dodgy, indeed, lol. Have you ever had a coffee there?

>>18986831

Never went. There was trash piled up against the windows and it just looked sketch.

Two blocks further north these is this small cafe in what looks like almost a normal house called Swing Street that is pretty good though.

>>18986842
I see, I have some good spots in Tokyo, as well.
If you still reside in Japan, and have a chance to visit Tokyo, make sure you visit Kotakemukaihara. There are coffee shops all around and tiny streets filled with old design shops, and some Kaikan buildings. A stroll from Kotakemukaihara towards Ekoda can be fruitful.

Do you have an instagram that I can follow?

>>18986858

I am still in Japan, but for grad school, so free time to visit Tokyo (or even to take pictures lately) is pretty damn short. I’d love to have a few days off to just walk around Kyoto and take pictures, but there just isn’t time.

And nope, no instagram. Just the occasional shot here really.

>>18986890

This one made me laugh when I saw it at Yodabashi

>>18986895

Cellphone snapshot though, so disappointed I didn’t have camera with me.

>>18986926

>>18986933

All anons probably know where this one is from

>>18986947

This one was one of my favorites. It was incredible how there were salarymen and all kinds of people in these halls even after 11 pm. Also the noise was mind numbing.

>>18986947
That's Kohata station, why did you expect me to know it and why did I know it?
It is a mystery.

>>18986913
>>18986924

Shit. It is giving me size errors.

>>18986911

I am pretty sure I took this exact same picture, but fucked up the exposure. I will try to dig it up when I get home.

>>18986947

>>18987012
>>18986911

Found it.

Terribly underexposed, though I think it was developed wrong too.

Yea, I was using variochrome.

It was terrible. Never touching it again.

Did you take this picture? If so, can you give me any info about getting there? I have a trip to Aomori planned this summer. I'm planning to do the Aoike/Juniko hike, along with hiking up Mt Shirakami (separate days). I'm a little worried about how feasible my plan is, as I'll be in Hakodate until August 6 and then staying 3 nights in Noshiro to get to and from Juniko and Shirakami. I can't stay any closer because everything in Aomori seems to be sold out for Nebuta.

I'm visiting Japan for the first time soonish and currently planning it. I'm going Tokyo > Hiroshima > Kyoto > Osaka > tokyo.
A lot of the recommended places to visit are all shrines / old buildings of various descriptions - do these get samey after you've seen a few or is it worth seeing as many as possible?
What are some truly unique not to be missed sights or activities I can do?

>>19017699

Hiroshima: the whole nuclear memorial complex. Itsukushima Island is near Hiroshima and it's worth visiting as well.

Kyoto: Nishiki Food Market. A problem with Kyoto for me was how after seeing few shrines and temples (even if many of them are worth seeing) a lot of them started to just blend together. That's why the food market was my favorite.

Tokyo: Meiji Jingu garden was my favorite. Tokyon Metropolitan Government Building was another nice one, go there if there's no clouds so you can see Fuji from there. Akiba and Shibuya are must see as well. Go to a maid cafe.

Save a majority of your days for Tokyo, it is so unbelievably huge. I also advice you to go there last, since Osake, Hiroshima and especially Kyoto are all going to feel underwhelming after you've experienced the world's largest metropolitan area. If you can, try to time your trip to overlap with an event like Comiket, Reitaisai or Mogra. I couldn't attend any of those in my first time and my next trip will focus on getting to experience them.

>>19017699
If you're interested in warships and WWII history you could try the Yamato museum in Kure while you're in Hiroshima.
Osaka has quite a nice aquarium.

It's okay unless it is an overcrowded schedule
There are two ways of accessing the jyuniko lakes
How to use a rental car and train and bus

If you are a rental car, 43 km travel time is 51 minutes
When you arrive at jyuniko Lakes, you park the car at a toll parking lot (400 yen)

For trains and buses
Take the train from Noshiro to Jodoko station (charge 840 yen, boarding time 1 hour 6 minutes)
Take the bus from jyuniko Lake Station to Wang Ponda or Oku jyuniko Lake Parking Lot (Price: 200 yen / day ride time: 15 minutes)
However, it is super local line so pay attention to the timetable
There is only one train in two hours and one bus per hour

It will be tough if you miss it
If you have money you can use a taxi or a chauffeur-driven hired car, but It will be expensive
I most recommend a rental car

For souvenirs and souvenirs in the twelve lakes (shop named Kyo Lolo)
You can apply for the guided tour at the information desk, but
I do not know if I can do a guided tour in English

Hiking plans vary from 1 hour to more than 5 hours course etc.
In the summer, there are a lot of tourists, so I do not think he will get lost
I strongly recommend using a guide if walking long distances
Price starts from 10,000 yen

>>19102989
I mean I figured that, but I'm going to be disappointed with myself if I go down there and it's nothing but government-run museums, shopping malls and shrines. I just picked out Fukuoka I've heard good things about Hakata Ramen and the nearby onsen

>>19021584

Been to Fukuoka and its a nice city. If you are on train ticket suggest a fast tun to Nagasaki. They don't run Shinkansen but superfast regular "rocket" train down there.

I went there last year.

Well near there.

>>19114761
It was an amazing place.

Would anyone give a shit about my little Japanese apartment's before and after renovation project pics, or is that too close to blog posting/not scenery?

>>19115259
Sure post some

>>19115259
>>19115273
Ok, its pretty gross right now but it was cheap and my first real-estate deal ever. Should update with progress in a few weeks during reform. Entertaining shitpost ideas about personal touches.

This is the kitchen/hall from the gekan looking into the bigger L/D room.

>>19115293
Littler room that I am converting to a weeby tatami bedroom with kotatsu and shikibuton. This also saves money since washitsu is cheap material and labor-wise.

>>19115318
L/D going to stay western style. A lot of the place has been stripped down but I am going to see what can stay and be cleaned up rather than completely replaced to save money. Might have some DIY on the walls and finishes.

>>19115343
I can leap to my neighbors building from this little balcony which is basically only good for hanging clothes and giving me tetanus.

>>19115358
bathroom is a total mess and the biggest expense. I'm glad I'm not a whale or else I wouldn't be able to use the traditional width tub which is the only thing that can fit without tearing down walls.

>>19115377
Last pic worth sharing is the other half of the L/D with some weird flooring rolled up. I feel like a reform started and then was abandoned here. I had the flash off but the balcony has a lot of natural light coming in which is good. Sorry for wasting image limits, hopefully it will be interesting when I fix the place up with better photos.

Generally I was shocked at how cheap old-worn out apartments are in Japan. This area is very convenient and nice even after all the various expenses and renovations I outright own the place for 5 figures in USD.

>>19114626
>>19114740
There was a land dispute between the owner of the land that building is on and the government, it went on for a few years because neither wanted to budge on what they wanted to do with the land. That arrangement was a compromise between them.

>>19115424
I was gonna say, that seems like a really shit deal there anon, but if you own it for less than $100,000 after renovations then it sounds like you've got it made. You've definitely got some work ahead of you, my family and I are living in a house we fixed up ourselves too(in America, so it's a different situation), but it worked out nicely for us in the end. I look forward to seeing your finished project.
Do you have any pictures you could share of the outside/the surrounding streets without doxxing yourself?

>>19115293
What's that white box on the wall that looks like an electric shower
For hot water?

>>19115603
Yes, considering I have lived off and on here for over a year, its at the point where this saves me money since gaijin tax on accommodation is at least double. I feel like it would be an easy resale after I fix it up if it ever came to that, especially with the olympics coming up. I doubt I could show the front without doxing, its not much to look at anyway, just an old ass brick apartment building.

I am only doing really superficial stuff myself, I do have to have a reform company come in and do about 10K of work. Still, I literally couldn't afford any half-decent property in a good location back in the states despite my efforts and now I'm a stones throw away from anything I could want to do in Tokyo.
>>19115676
Yeah its one style of hot water (gas I think) but I am not sure if it works still. Newer places have all this built out somewhere central to control all the hot water. I'll use this if it works and is cheaper than a replacement.

>>19115765
Be careful if it runs on gas, you could get poisoned by carbon monoxide coming from it. It's a defect in old boilers.

>>19115765
>especially with the olympics coming up
don't remind me, please.

>>19115765
Very interested in your project. Please keep us updated!

>>19116462
I'm not thrilled about it either, but hey a silver lining.
>>19117345
Thanks, I'm excited too. I am sure it will look cozy in the end. Maybe I'll airbnb it out when I'm out of country since this building seems a bit empty/full of short-leases.
>>19115804
Thanks for the headsup, I'll have it checked.

>>19066646
Bump if I may, please.

>>19112041
Still don't understand how these work. Like what if the guy on the top bunk needed to leave before the guy on bottom?

>>19040087
That photog shouldn't put his hand right over animal's heads like he's doing. Reach around the side, otherwise it's intimidating.

>>19120391

They specifically warm you to avoid the deer with antlers too, because they tend to be more aggressive and will impale you.

>>19022396

>>19120264

It is family owned, not public parking.

You just call your wife to move her damned car so you can get out.

The seller's realtor actually expects formal introductions to my immediate neighbors as part of the closing procedure so we all get along, and I also gave a bunch of information from the city about getting involved in the local community and things. I guess this is just how it is when you buy a place in Japan, very entwined with the locality.

>>19132107
oof
Just when I thought I couldn't want to be in Japan any more.

>>19132107

That is a Tempura restaurant in Kyoto.

It was delicious.

By groverhaus I meant "don't try and DIY the whole thing and wind up with something like pic related"

>>19132687

I visit reddit purely for /r/diy and /r/diwhy

They are a gold mine of what not to do.

I found an old video camera with a film when we were in Japan in 2009.
I watched it on my TV and I noticed that the grass is so much greener in Japan than anywhere else, no not metaphorically.

Anyways, I will try to get the film running on my PC, so I can take some screencaps.
Should I post them here for you guys?

>>19134677
ye

>>19132687
Christ that’s horrifying.　Don't worry the only DIY I am handling is wallpaper and maybe some paint.　Meeting with reformer next week so maybe I can update with some concept plans.

I expect to see a ghostly face hidden somewhere in this image. Always suspect some weird ass supernatural stuff in Japan in moments like this.

Particularly from the exclusion zone

What is the significance of these bike locks

>>19141477
Couples put them on there to symbolize their love, like it can't be removed. There was a bridge in Paris where this was popular to do, and the city had to come and cut most of the locks off because the bridge was in danger of collapsing due to the weight of them all.

>>19141477

There exist certain specific areas where they aren't removed.

They even sell locks and will engrave them for you at certain places.

>>19141658
That must have been a really flimsy bridge or an absolute ton of locks.

>>19145194
>That must have been a really flimsy bridge or an absolute ton of locks.
The latter. I won't post a picture here because it's not Japan, but it's easy to find pictures of the one I'm talking about if you search for it. Apparently there were more than 700,000 locks and their total weight was 45 tons.

This locks place is at the top of the Umeda Sky Building in Osaka.

Oh yeah, I forgot about this shirt.

Anyone have experience doing 聖地巡礼? I'm looking to go to a place set in a high school and I was wondering if anyone has any tips to avoid actual high schoolers and looking like a creep.

>>19163204
I only have experience with going to a pilgrimage set in my home country, so no

>>19080376
>he doesn't know how other places looked like in the 50s

>>19163204
Just do the K-ON one.
It's an elementary school but that's not too much of a problem.

I love rotenburo, give me all you’ve got. Even better than a western jacuzzi.

hahaha

>>18947328
Oh I love Otaru! I've spent a lot of time hanging out with friends around this area.

>>19186400
Something to do with the Olympics?

>>19192198
"62nd Kanazawa Hyakumangoku festival", nothing to do with olympics.

I liked seeing the reconstructed Capital building, but it takes a bit to get to.

have you ever seen the lane left by tornados? littered planks
florida homes? eaten by snails.

>>19186400
I love that architecture.

>>18988618
he's absolutely right though

>>19201237
please don't try to force an agenda on our board.

>>19200685
Japan doesn't have tornadoes, what's your point?

>>18968216

you can insulate them with GAINA paint

>>19202693
I'm sure we have a few, just not regular like USA and not as large.

Even New Zealand gets tornadoes (actually it's becoming fairly regular to have a few each year now).

>>19203115

Bigger issue is earthquakes. Most of those ugly little houses will do fine.

A similar sized earthquake would fuck up housing in most of America.

>>19203141
I'm not sure but doesn't most of America not have earthquake construction standards because they mostly only affect the west coast?

>>19203282

Yes. The west coast actually isn’t as tough with the standards as they should be even.

Same as tornados in Japan really.

>>19202605
Not forcing anything (don't have to), just saying that's a fact not an opinion. Let's shut up and not derail this great thread okay?

>>19205769
>Let's shut up and not derail this great thread okay?
Replying to a month-old post that was reacting to a crossboarder is an obvious attempt at derailing the thread.

>>19205796
>Replying to a month-old post that was reacting to a crossboarder is an obvious attempt at derailing the thread

And (You) replying to my reply to a 17 hour old reply is not?

>>19205807
No. This is /jp/, not /v/. Please go back there ``kudasai''.

>>19205831
ok you're right

I'll be in Japan for a full month starting on July 5th. I'm going to be in Tokyo, Saitama, Kyoto, Onomichi-shi, Ooshima-shi, Matsuyama-shi, Tokushima-shi, Osaka, and lots of little places in-between. Anything in those areas I should get pictures of?

>>18967936
Blue seems to be a popular colour.

>>19156236
ABSOLUTELY NOT FOR CHILDREN

>>19205865
The Gundam statue.

>>18977326

>>19176608

Loved these jam packed corners in book/doujinshi stores. Very un-Western aesthetics.
