What I think happens is that damage is often repaired quicker, since whoever is hosting the machine gets a cut of the profits and therefore has an incentive to keep it operational.

My biggest regret from my time there is that I didn't spend a few more nights in a ryokan. They're not cheap, but staying in one there was truly heavenly -- the open-air bath with a view of the ocean and the surrounding town, the comfortable yukata, the amazing service and 懐石料理 (traditional Japanese multi-course meal, served to you in your room) -- I've never experienced a more relaxing time in my life. Here was my room.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20140083
When we arrived, they had prepared our room and served us 麦茶(mugicha, or barley tea -- a bit of an unusual taste to an American, but it's apparently hugely popular in Japan during the summer. I had never heard of it before going but once I was there it seemed to be everywhere.) and 羊羹(youkan, a traditional jelly desert made from red beans. Imagine the taste of the red bean paste filling of daifuku mochi, but slightly sweeter).

[Anonymous No.]

>>20140111
Ever wonder whether you're staying in an authentic, traditional ryokan? Look through the facilities information book they provide and see if they have a menu for Geisha services. (This was the only part of the book that was not provided in English, I assume they don't want sensitive foreigners getting offended.)

Gotta go, I'll post more later. If any anons come up with something specific they want to see, let me know.

Is that brutalism?

[Anonymous No.]

>>20140083
Depends where you go desu. Hotel Towadasou at Lake Towada had really good food, and the half-board rate for my weekend stay was around 7.5k yen/night. They will be more expensive in more touristy/less remote areas though, yeah. I had the pleasure of staying in one on Miyajima, called Iwasou, in one of the separate buildings that has only 2 guest rooms to it, pic related. The wooden walkway outside the room sat right over the stream that empties out under the shrine, and the walkway wraps around on the right side of the room with open air breakfast seating on it. The island is really nice in the evening once most of the other tourists have taken the ferry back.

>>20140133
Assuming this is entertainment or massage, not prostitution services? That's neat though, I never noticed it when I was over there.

I don't know anything about architecture, but after a quick lookup of what brutalism is, I think you may be right.

>>20140190
>I had the pleasure of staying in one on Miyajima, called Iwasou, in one of the separate buildings that has only 2 guest rooms to it
Wow, how far in advance did you book that? Looks excellent, btw. When I eventually make it back to Japan in a few years I want to visit. Here's a photo of breakfast at the one I stayed at.

>Assuming this is entertainment or massage, not prostitution services?
The massages are down below. The two most expensive services at the top, 芸妓 and コンパニオン ("geigi," an antiquated word for geisha, and "companion") are both still vague, but if I had to guess I'd say that 芸妓 suggests entertainment and "companion" sounds like prostitution. Also, for both of the two top items, there's an additional 480円 約束料 -- or "promise fee" -- whatever that means. I didn't inquire because I assumed the lack of an English menu meant that they didn't want foreigners ordering them.
Also, I only just noticed the 400円 卓球 option -- you can play ping pong with a geisha for an hour for $4! I wish I had done it now, lol

>Also, I only just noticed the 400円 卓球 option -- you can play ping pong with a geisha for an hour for $4! I wish I had done it now, lol
Wait, now that I think about it, that's probably $4 in addition to the $170 you're already paying to spend 2 hours with them.

How's this for interesting? The MANDARAKE 変や (Strange Store) inside Nakano Broadway in Tokyo. It was definitely the most unusual looking store I saw in Japan.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20140332
And the inside. They sold extremely vintage toys and otaku-related memorabilia, from as early as the 50s and 60s. The display cases were suspended in the air by poles from the ceiling.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20140353
My mental clock was totally screwed up from the 12-hour flight when I got there, so the first morning I was there I woke up super early and took this photo outside. This was in Nerima ward, which was honestly one of my favorite places in Tokyo. Extremely comfy.
And now I should stop procrastinating and actually go do my CSC homework. I'll be back later.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20140302
>Wow, how far in advance did you book that?
IIRC I booked it about 6 months in advance, and stayed in late April. This was from my 2017 trip. I think it was the week before Golden Week. Food was excellent. I hate to say it though, but I can't really remember much about the bath, which was in the main building and required a short outside walk.

I came back over this summer for another 3 weeks, and went Kanazawa -> Matsumoto -> Tokyo -> Lake Towada -> Aomori (stayed in Odate) -> Noshiro -> Sendai. I appreciated the baths a lot more this trip, and Tokyo, Odate, and Sendai were the only places where I had a private bathroom. The onsen hotel I stayed in at Wakura Onsen, near Kanazawa, was especially impressive. I splurged hard on that one, had a 3 room suite with dinner and breakfast, and an outdoor bath on the room balcony overlooking Noto bay. The public bath at that place was easily the biggest I've ever been in, around 1300-1400 sqft for the men's indoor bath alone. Pic related is the view from the dining room during dinner, also looking out over the bay towards Notojima.

>>20140332
Nakano Broadway has some great stores. A bunch of the Mandarake shops there have interesting facades that stand out from the normal stuff. They also have a model railway shop with a bunch of railway memorabilia and some of the older, much larger metal model trains.

Nor was I. I heard they declared the heat wave this summer to be a natural disaster, it was absurdly hot constantly. Kyoto felt like the inside of a hot car, all day, every day. Even at night.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20144557
Yeah, I had a 3 week trip planned and by day 4 in Kanazawa I was seriously considering going home early. Even when leaving my ryokan at 7-8 AM, it was so hot that I was sweating profusely by the time I reached Kanazawa station 20 minutes later. Matsumoto was even worse, with constant light rain but the clouds doing absolutely nothing to keep the heat down. Kurobe Gorge, Oirase stream, and Anmon falls were about the only places I visited that the temperature felt comfortable without heavy rain and clouds blocking the sun for >36 hours.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20145431
It was good, but a little on the small side, but if you're a beginner to spelunking you'll probably have a great time. Thing is, I've done some pretty intensive, intermediate-advanced caving around the States (no installed lights, bring a few experienced buddies and spend 8 hours underground for a few days sort of thing), so to me it made me want to do that sort of thing more than anything. Anyway, it was a fun cave that didn't take too long and wasn't physically difficult (some low parts where you have to crouch or crawl, maybe 2.5 or 3 feet high?) so it's perfect for beginners. Your entry ticket (800¥ I think?) includes a helmet and headlamp. There are five or so cool caves around the area(including an ice cave that remains frozen year-round), and it's worth getting out there to see the lakes and Mt. Fuji anyway.

Nagasaki has quite a few churches, in part due to its role as the primary trade port with the outside world before industrialization. There's a pretty famous one called Oura that was built back in the 1800s.

The park where the SOS Brigade meets for Haruhi's mystery patrols, for instance, has had the raised platform and concrete pillars and metal bars removed. The clock and the station entrance are the only recognizable landmarks from the anime that remain.

The town did install a commemorative Haruhi sign board in that same park, though.

That page is 11 years old now. Somehow the coordinates given aren't quite correct for Google Earth.

The listed latitudes needs to be changed by about +0.00325 and longitudes by about -0.00275 to land in the correct (approximate) areas.

Is there any way to move there outside of ALT positions? And even then, is there any way to stay there for longer than the 3 year JET limit? Because I'm going to apply for JET once I graduate university and I already know I want to stay there for as long as I can.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20198289
Absolutely, you can live and work there in any field. You just have to make a Japanese company want you bad enough, and they can vouch for you and sponsor you to get you a visa.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20198379
Is that very hard? I'm getting a degree in Management Info Systems right now and I hope there'll be a big enough demand when I'm done. I'm originally from Australia so was hoping to get work with an Aussie company that can sponsor a visa after I've gone to Japan with JET for as long as I can.

[Anonymous No.]

>>20198408
>Is that very hard?
That's the question, isn't it? I'm working on my degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering, and I'll almost certainly be getting my JLPT N1 certificate this December, plus I've made connections with a guy that works for an engineering firm who may become the Asia/Pacific region director for his company, so that's probably my way in to start with.
I'd be careful if I were you about the JET program. It's a fine thing, but for your future's sake you'd probably be putting yourself in a much better position if you immediately got into a job that uses your degree so you can get some experience under your belt. You might find yourself unemployable if when the interviewer for the Management Info Systems position asks "Why haven't you written anything down for previous related job experience?" your only answer is "I became an Elementary school English teacher." If you have no other way into the country, JET could be fine, but if you're getting a degree in something worthwhile (which it sounds like you are) there are much more profitable and long-lasting ways to live in Japan that don't involve playing the funny white clown for second-graders while your Japanese colleague does all the worthwhile, teaching.
I highly recommend the blog of Ken Seeroi if you're interested in moving to Japan. He has very insightful things to say about the realities of teaching English in Japan (and the hard realities faced by people that don't really want to teach English and instead just use that as their ticket into Japan).

This guy is really, really cynical by the way, so don't take everything he says 100% seriously, otherwise you might get a bit depressed (I know I did when I first read his website), but it's good to have realistic expectations about huge decisions like moving to another country, even if it's a country as great as Japan.

If you go with a private company you can stay as long as they offer you contracts. Also it is easier to switch jobs than with JET (I'm fairly sure you have to leave the country and come back if you switch from a JET position)

Be patient, get your degree, get hired by an American company that you can work for in Japan, make real money and have a real job.
American companies will give tremendous benefits and your vacation days can accumulate over a month. Whereas in Japan you get 2 weeks MAX.

It sounds like Kyoto has gotten worse since the time I was there, but my advice if you were to go there would be to buy a couple of guide books, like Lonely Planet, and avoid every place listed in them, or go to those places on normal public transport right when they open so you avoid the tourist buses and get through before the crowds build up.
I successfully did Kinkakuji early in the morning, and it was rainy on the day I went to Fushimi Inari so there were rather few people there. Arashiyama seems to be more Japanese tourists, and the area 25 - 37 on that map is pretty much deserted because it's not a tourist location at all.

People like to denounce Kyoto as being too touristy, and that may be true, but I'd still say it's worth going there at least once and just putting in the effort to hit the most famous places early in the morning then just spend the rest of the days in less crowded areas.

[Anonymous No.]

My first trip to Japan took me to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka(and Nara), over a period of 10 days.
My personal highlights of these locations were the small treks up Mt Kurama and Wakakusa of Kyoto and Nara, respectively.

My question is, which set of other mainland areas could I visit over a similar period of time, with a similar go-between distance/travel time... Which also tolerate gaijin tourist's inability to speak the language.

I went to the Inari shrine of Kyoto early November of last year. There were certainly a lot of ugg-boot euro-thots getting off at the train station there. Only saw domestic tourists/students doing the walk towards the peak, however. I'm sure there would be more foreigners there at other times of the year, though.

Mountains are like snow in that if you've never dealt with them before you mainly think of how scenic and beautiful they are. Then, when you have to drive or walk up and down them, or shovel it, or fishtail on slush or black ice, they loose a lot of their appeal.

I spent 2 hours in a koban in Dotonburi, Osaka at 4 in the morning cause some Japanese dude was accusing us of trying to steal his wallet, when in reality it was him that was doing it.
