Thread 49856770

anyone know where this picture was taken?

>>49856770 (OP)
Looks like a pretty big lake. Maybe somewhere along the coast of lake Biwa.

It's taken at Hachimanyama Castle Ruins.

thanks anons

Will do a mini dump of pretty pics I took in Nippon

This was in Jigokudani Noboribetsu during winter. Since the trails were closed for the season, a friend and I snuck past the barriers and had the entire majestic winter landscape to ourselves. It was absolutely cool.

>>49859080
Gotta love a rainy day walk in a pretty place.

During a rainy, cloudy day in Tokyo. This would make for a cool album cover.

And finally, some 500 yen plastic oppai at the Donki

>>49859161
Wow, I went there on an overnight field trip once when I was a kid and stayed in the nearby hotel. Learned that natural hot springs smell like farts.

Oop

>>49859177
They absolutely do, sulfur be smelly. But the sights are pretty cool and otherworldly

I'll drop a couple I took when I went last spring.

>>49859080
where was this taken and what camera did you use? going to japan soon and wanted to take some nice pictures too

>>49856770 (OP)
man, this pic looks awesome. wish I'd grown up somewhere peaceful and scenic like this

>>49859331
Huh, that one showed as being right side up. I guess I'll just avoid vertical photos.

Here's mine
Suwa was a beautiful place

>>49859364
4chan erases metadata from posted photos, so that might be it

Himeji castle was cool. When I went to see it like 10 years ago it was all covered up because it was undergoing restorations so it was nice to see it in full this time.

>>49859390
Wasn't it too crowded? It was a bit of a pain for us, even at the first hour.

>>49859404
Very crowded. That's why I usually prefer either going to popular places at the crack of dawn or going to less touristy places in general. Like Fushimi Inari Taisha here. Big tourist spot but only a handful of people if you go at 5am.

>>49859435
We did the whole Fushimi loop at dawn and it was quiet once as soon as we climbed a little. I think most people stay at the start.

>>49859447
Loved all the stray cats there.

>>49859462
For me it was the tanukis

>>49859462
Iphone photos sure have a tendency of breaking when being moved to a computer.

>>49859466
Very cute. Truly a shame that you can't pet those.

>>49859483
I don't know they look a bit mean. I wouldn't have risked it.

Gotta love Hakodate's local clown themed franchise.

>>49859346
It was taken in Kyoto, in the grounds adjacent to Kiyomizu-dera. I simply used my phone's camera lol and it was an old one too (Galaxy A-something from 2019), so practically any modern phone will take cool photos if you have the eye for it.

>>49864769
Oh this is exceptional anon

>>49859404
location?

>>49865732
Looks like the Yoichi area of Hokkaido.

>>49865732
Nishinoshima island

i love threads like these. i wish we had irl japanese threads more often

>>49856770 (OP)
I'd reckon it was taken somewhere in Japan.

Some of the nicer snaps from my trip.
Speaking of trips, I smashed my
Rotary cuff into five different pieces about four days in so that was fun.

Last pic I managed to do with two hands

They wanted me to go home immediately after patching me up.
I politely ignored them knowing full well the NHS wasn't going to do a damn thing.

Feelsbad being poor and not being able to travel there
Sudacabros, when will our time come?

And I really didn't want to miss Takayama. Fantastic festival.

>>49874737
The plane ticket is the most expensive part. Cost of living is low, and you can bum around internet/manga cafes with your suitcase stashed in a station locker if you absolutely need to.

Don't waste time overplanning things. Just go. Japan is one of those places where once you're there, everything else just clicks into place for you as you're swept up in the clockwork precision of everything. People call it dystopian and soul crushing, but it's heaven for autismos.

>>49859169
>This would make for a cool album cover.
It's actually quite reminiscent of the cover of "Yankee Hotel Foxtrot" by Wilco.

>>49874668
How did that happen?

>>49859080
>>49859145
>>49859161
These are perfect

>>49874781
The nicest thing about Japan is that I never really have to think about where I am. I could get off at a random train station at any hour of the day and wander around the area to see what's there, knowing that I am in no danger at all while I do it. Can't do that in most US cities where there are whole areas where you are better off not leaving the station if you accidentally got off there.

>>49874934
Went on a short half hour hiking trail that promised a really nice view of Mt Fuji framed by the Hakone mountains.
Walked into a swarm of angry Japanese hornets halfway up. Got stung twice (leaving scars) causing me to fall and break my shoulder.
I was later told that they were active far later than usual due to the october heatwave and they were being called out constantly to deal with angrier than usual swarms.

>>49875041
And it's only going to get worse every year...

>>49875051
Silver lining, their biggest prey is quickly becoming a predator. And I can say with personal experience that the Japanese are very determined to eradicate any hornet that ends up in populated areas, judging from the death squad that were dispatched alongside the ambulance crew.

>>49875041
how'd you walk into the swarm? did you step on a nest or were they just chilling in the middle of the path? was going to do a hike in nagano and your post got me a little spooked

>>49874758
>The plane ticket is the most expensive part
this. tickets for me cost almost double my hotel expenses for 10 nights

>>49876612
Just chilling in the middle of the path unfortunately. The autumn heatwave last year really really riled them up. 35°c in October. Mental.
Just be careful what time of year it is and what the weather is I guess. Maybe douse yourself in repellent too. I wish I did that.

>>49876645
I'm flying out at the end of this month, so the heat will no doubt be worse... maybe I'll just park my happy ass in tokyo and save nagano for winter or spring

>>49875158
Good on the Japanese park service for handling this quickly and presumably efficiently, before it starts becoming a big problem.

>>49876665
Typical tourist areas will be fine. Don't be put off by my stupid idea of going off the beaten track between bus connections when I should have sat my ass down at Lawson and waited. Nagano will be fine.

>>49876665
I had no idea sweat could crystalize into salt until I went to Japan in the summer, that was a decade ago. I can only imagine how much worse the summer heat has gotten since.

>>49892383
What makes a cityscape look distinctly Japanese compared to cityscapes of other countries?

>>49892392
Ignore the parks and East asian syled buildings, it's clearly the golf/batting court in the bottom right

>>49892392
Lots of green space (if we're ignoring the temples and shrines in them), large mix of building heights/lack of zoning as people just build whatever they want on the land they own, more natural, euro style road layouts.

>>49896168
>lack of zoning as people just build whatever they want on the land they own
Factually untrue.

>>49874708
do you have more pictures in trains?

Don't let this cool thread die

>>49905265
I wish I could have gone here. I was kind of strapped on time so I just took a bus to the last quarter or so of the pilgrimage path to Kumano Hongu Taisha and just walked that instead.

To think it was so long ago that the photo is straight up from a digital camera rather than a phone...

>>49907570
Love me some rusty stairs.

It feels like forever since we had these kind of threads.

>>49916598
While you are here, check out this funky statue.

>>49916616
Cool statue, dude.

>>49916598
They're always like heaven

>>49905358
Katsura river

Just taken with my phone, but I like the perspective on this one.

>>49925252
Living there must be pretty peaceful.

Bumping this great thread

What kind of truck is the bottom truck?

>>49936490
475 M?

>>49921660
No bocchi watch out the Peregrine Flacons

>>49925252
Looks like a chill place. I'd love to just walk down that road to see where it goes.

>>49960024
Nice clouds.

>>49892392
Lack of old buildings. Most buildings in that picture are glass. In NYC you have a bunch of 100 year old brick towers.

BUMP
dont die on me beautiful thread

I will now proceed to dump a small collection of nice photos I took

>>49968003
Fucking hell I hate this sideways shit

>>49968036
Best ramen I've ever had btw
In a small place called Shimijimi in Sapporo
This is Sapporo too

In the mood for some chicken ass

That's it for today, I hope you enjoyed a glimpse of my adventures

>>49968111
Nice pics anon. One day I'll go to Japan and take pictures of my own. Until then I'll just keep posting from my collection.

>>49968111
Great pics. my dude.

I took this recently I like it

Pic i've took at Enoshima island last week. It's a nice place even if it's touristy.
>>49970289
Kagoshima is on my list next year.

>>49968065

>>49979512
I want to be there.

>>49859539
>>49864149
>>49864769
Where are these?

>>49892392
Dunno what it's called, but all the buildings have the same style with the grey concrete and being pretty flat.
