Once I've done Europe later this year and China and NZ next year I've essentially been most places in the world outside maybe South America & Africa and there is still no place like Japan, committed to moving back anyway possible I think.

But 40 and largely skill less, I technically have enough money for a business visa, but what's my business? Hostels seem ok to run!

Was just on the NHK and saw this documentary which I believe is one of live cameras, just trying to refind it

Did I see an airport train go past here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZS6_rCgmGPQ

This is a café in the middle of an ocean kindof road in Itoshima, I've been past, they have a London but. Loved Itoshima desu. The whole of Kyushu is amazing, you can feel so remote but then really not that far away from Japan's most happening city Fukuoka.

The ability to build rail infrastructure with a more flexible business case is why we have these train lines, more rail actually in China atm an again financially it doesn't stack up, the ghost stations don't stack up but for Xi it's not about ROI it's about keeping control of your Tibet's et al. The railway is a state link, in the west it's an investment

This has been turned and we're starting to get a good look at the military assets in Kure harbor, just up from those ships are the Soryu submarines. Kure was more compact in terms of a naval base than Yokosuka which seemed quite spread-out, you can get a boat that shows you around the places you're allowed of course for like 1000 yen!

Any hikyo-eki interest? Any favorites? There's a comfy site that ranks them. I want to visit some one day.

This photo of Shikaga Station has stayed in my mind, and I feel quite melancholy if I look for photos and records of closed stations.

>>49411008
Great photo. It's a special unique flavor of melancholy. The logs on that website detail someone's visits -majority over 20 years ago.
Some of these stations are removed from everything and completely isolated. No accessible roads or settlements, often surrounded by mountains. The strange principal questions arise of why they exist at all and what brings one to them. There's almost always a rational answer -camping, fishing, drop off points for maintenance workers, old forestry/agricultural spots etc. . However, if you ask the soul, you discover there is a deeper interstitial aura to these locations. In this one finds their hidden truth and a strange beauty.
Some of these stations simply exist for their own sake, long detached from any rational reason. They are almost forgotten, a faded redmark on some dusty clipboard.

It's very relaxing to read the logs even with the dilution of the English translation.
On the Koboro visit they run into someone that was squatting in the remote rundown waiting room. The fate of the person is unknown.
The Omori visit, a fear of the nearby wild dogs.
The Kowada visit, an understanding conductor, a midnight exploration, and a camping setup.
Tsubojiri visit, a lone old local taking care of the station. The individual claims to be short on money and sleeps in the small waiting room overnight.

I haven't seen that cam in ages, i miss the times when finding random security cameras online was much easier.

>>49430900
Yeah, I've gone past quite a few while sifting through the archives. This one looks quite nice in the daytime:

This cam is growing on me.

It's so fucking depressing how DEAD this thread is when cameras have multiplied from under 10 to literally hundreds of all vantage points in the last 10 years.

There's been an explosion of live cameras but an implosion of our numbers.

>>49499386
I started following these threads couple of weeks back. My son is really into trains, so I figured I could mix my interest in Japan with his interest in trains. Are there any good resources (in English) that go through history/technology etc. of Japanese railway? I found some free documentaries on NHK world, but I'm sure there are more in-depth resources out there.

We need a bump

It's sad that there never really has been a live camera as good as Aizu since.

>>49672594
Just not true, we've moved from a few to the 20s to now literally thousands in almost every prefecture. Watching the sun rise over Mt Fuji on a perfectly clear day or the shenanigans of Kabukicho has far exceeded the original.

You don't beat this, you never have, you never will and this is just one morning of one day. NO point arguing about it but to quote NOFX you're wrong.

You can't beat this, you won't beat this, it'll always own and if you even open your mouth the numbers will shout you down.

I found that on Wikimedia, but it's originally from Panoramio: I find them all over the place really. Wikipedia and Flickr are generally good bets, but I've also recently been looking through these sites:
https://ganref.jp/
https://charitetsu.jp/contents/gallery
https://seaside-station.com (I found this one the other day)

I just read some volcano erupted in Japan? Is it the one in the OP link? Anyone get any webcam footage of it?
