Thanks for your comments on my Osaka pic from the hills. I'll properly work on them on Lightroom once I go back, though it'll take a few weeks to process everything. Have another few featuring the Akashi bridge. Pic from the Cosmo Tower, which I mentionned in the previous thread. We were like 10 people in the observatory for the night, and it has an excellent view on the bay up to Kobe (in the rain in this pic). I highly recommend it.
>>2883969Managed to catch the lightning, but I swear this bitch strom always made sure to lighten up the sky right in the 4-5 seconds interval where the previous long pause ended and I started the next one. Like, it happened ten times in a row, how is that even possible.
>>2883970Then I decided to go the the bridge itself the next day, because why the hell not, I like bigass structures.Now in Tokyo for my last few days. I intended to go near Enoshima tomorrow to /p/ the Fuji in the twilight like everyone does (but from a lesser known observatory, I think). Though I probably won't have much luck. While the wheater will be quite acceptable, it looks like it will be part sunny/part cloudy. Fuji being the bitch she is, she somehow gets clouds even on a bright full day without a single cloud. So yeah, on a so-so day I fear it will end in a failure.
>>2883966I love her
>>2883969Digital is for souless npcs. Use film
>>2883969
Has anyone been to Shirahama? I'm debating if I should get the Kansai wide area pass and take a daytrip to Adventure World.
Who is the guy here who was fucking underage prosties for 10k yen?
Damn, I have bad jetlag after returning to the USA. It's 2:30pm and all I want to do is sleep...
How do I learn Japanese in 2 weeks?
>>2884023You don't. It's too different from english to learn quickly.
It's 5:20 in the morning, I'm in the Sobu line that goes to Kamakura and beyond, I thought I would be alone at this hour, yet the train is full and no sitting place left. What in the fuck.
>>2884033Well, it unloaded fast in the various Tokyo stations. Still.
>>2884023I would just buy this. https://www.amazon.com/Lonely-Planet-Japanese-Phrasebook-Dictionary/dp/1787014665 That's what I used when I first traveled there. I think nowadays people use smartphones more. The Genki series of books are also what I got started with for serious study.Katakana and Hiragana aren't that hard to pick up.
I miss suica
>>2884023don't say arigatou, it's like "thanks bro". say arigatou gozaimasu instead.
>>2884062My first Suica is coming up on the end of its 10 year valid period, but now when I get a new one it won't even have a penguin.Truly sadge, the end of an era.
>>2884063how do i say konnichiwa bro
>>2884074おっす ossu or やっほ yahho
>>2884073I thought that 10 year period was for inactivity, and that suicas reset it every time you used them
>>2884089The radio chips in physical cards need a battery to function, so they all have a 10 year validity period to get people to switch before the battery stops working and the card becomes useless.
>>2884090I don't think that's true, it's just rfid right?>If a Suica card is not used for 10 years, it will become invalid.I think it's just so they don't have to manage old accounts, and can take the money that was nominally in escrow
>>2884095You're right that the IC cards don't have a lifespan, it just needs to be used within the last 10 years to remain valid and within the last 6 months to stay unlocked.https://twitter.com/JREast_official/status/2033740214427070507https://jreastfaq.jreast.co.jp/faq/show/1048?category_id=27&site_domain=defaulthttps://www.jreast.co.jp/suica/new_s/info_tenyears.html
>>2884100What do you mean by unlocked?
>>2884062I like how I can spot the NEWFAGS with the Welcome travel card. My Suica is going on its 15 years.
Planning to go to Japan with a friend and he suggested going to Osaka. What's interesting about that place?
>>2884110lots of fat gaijin retards. ez to blend in i guess
>>2884110Taichinks, lots of them. And by the end, you'll want to murder them all to the last one, women and children included.
>>2883966This image doesn't really remind me of Japan. It'll be hard to find once this thread gets buried.
>>2884120good
>>2884033Well, it’s rush hour, isn’t it
>>2883969>>2883970>>2883971Very nice photos mate>>2883981Also very nice
>>2883917Beautiful end for the last thread.
I got back from Japan like 4 days ago and already I want to return. Looking at flights for autumn when the weather there is gonna be less shit.
The fuck are they feeding the mosquitoes here?
>>2884089>>2884095Holy shit! Thanks bro for the good news. Ages ago I read it how the other guy did. But upon googling now you are right, its after last use. That's great, little pengin-san gets to stay with me a while longer.>>2884100>>2884103I've visited Japan now 5 times since getting the card in 2017 and each time was longer than 6 months, but I've never had to do literally anything to start using it again upon return so not sure what this 'unlocked' is either.
Watching Harui on Tokyo Mx 1. Really throws me back.
>>2884073>>2884106just use the iphone wallet version of suica, it's better
Going to Kyushu for a change.I hope the food in Fukuoka is as good as they claim
>>2883966Spontaneously, in less than 24 hours I'm suddenly going to be in Japan for a week. Landing in Tokyo. What is there to be done or see in the country within this time frame? In Tokyo I'll go to the weeb district, then at some point I'll check out the Nara park by Osaka. Aside from that, not really sure. Open for anything.
>>2884270Nara's a whole ass city, niggaThe two things you listed are all you'll have time for in a single week
>>2884272Very well.Do you happen to know of any milsurp/repro stores in either city? Collecting militaria is one of my hobbies. I'll certainly check out Matsuzaki Shoten in Tokyo.
>>2883975Poor girl has throngs of drunken salarymen ojisans forcing their way into her every night of the week
>>2884270as per the anon asking last thread, osaka is not really close to tokyo
>>2884270There's lots of stuff to do in tokyo. Just ask AI and tell it your interests.
>>2884196>IphoneBold of you to assume I'm gay.Nah but for real, I don't like Iphone for actual reasons. Also I don't believe in digital payment systems. They too, are gay.>>2883975AI slop. JR trains deserve better animu girls than this anon.
I'm back in USA and miss the gacha capsule machines everywhere :(
>>2884317But going on a day trip from Tokyo to Osaka is a foolish thing to do.
>>2883966I stayed at a couple onsen towns last week.
>>2884353The ryokan owner asked me if I like onsen musume, then she showed me the extremely popular special guest room. All merchandises are from the fans and the room costs about $100/night 2 meals included.
>>2884354
>>2884356Not much going on in this onsen town.
>>2884357The tourist center staff in this onsen town told me they shot 30 bears last year around the area.
>>2884360The abandoned hotels in this onsen town have people living in them, I think. I can see lights and appliances from some of the units.
>>2884361I know Sendai is not an onsen town, but they have many ryokans within its city limit and I stayed in one.
How do I move to Japan and become a white train driver?
Pls r8 or h8 my plan for a day:>visit Zojoji temple in the early morning (1h)>go to teamlabs in Mori building (2hs)>head all the way to Nakano Broadway to shop and gaze for around 3 hoursThen spend the rest of the day in Kabukicho to eat at Omoide Yokocho alley, explore the rest of the district, and finally have some drinks at Golden Gai.Is it a solid plan or is my day too crammed?I don't really feel like doing anything else in Minato outside of teamlabs and the temple. And I'm particularly interested in buying my tickets for the museum now that my chosen date is open for reservations.I don't plan to return to Kabukicho outside of maybe a cheeky trip to WARP nightclub.But I could move a trip to Nakano for another time. Naturally, I'm a turbo geek, turbo nerd and turbo weeb so I expect to sperg out a ton there.
>>2883966Otaru was overrated hot garbage, at least for me. It's infested with chinks and the canal was underwhelming. There were lots of souvenir shops around the area, and they're overpriced as fuck, but the glass workshops are cool I guess. Although I was really happy that I could see some pink sakura trees around mid May, so it was kinda worth it.
>>2883966How will Immigration take the fact that I don't have any hotels or accommodation booked in advance? I have return tickets and money in the bank.
I know that everyone says the tourist areas are shit now, but I really underestimated how shit. I was expecting lines and crowds and retards standing in the way, but Dotonbori was nothing but Chinese/SEA with shitty food stands and >wagyu>wagyu yakiniku>ramen>halal wagyu ramen>burgersLuckily I found Kushikatsu Daruma to eat at, but goddamn.
>>2884399I said I only had the first night booked and they said it's fine since you're from Finland but otherwise there could had been problems.Maybe just book the first night in advance and write that address down, without saying anything, should be fine.
I made this itinerary by feeding my interests and timeframe into a LLM and tweaking a few things>Jan 4–5Tokyo recovery + museums>Jan 6–8Kobe + Arima>Jan 8–10Himeji>Jan 10–12Okayama + Kurashiki>Jan 12–14Awaji + Tokushima + Otsuka>Jan 14–17Takamatsu + Ritsurin + Naoshima/Kotohira/Shikoku Mura>Jan 17–19Matsuyama + scenic train + Dogo>Jan 19–22Tokyo proper as a full urban stopThoughts?
>>2884454i don't know a lot of those places, how many diff hotels is that?
>>2884454I lived in Shikoku for two years, so your list seems pretty thorough for that. I may be biased, but a tour of Shikoku is unique and I think a cool thing to try.I enjoy Kansai quite a bit, but I've never stopped over in Kobe. People don't seem to enjoy Kobe very much around here. YMMV of course.I also lived in Tokyo and like it. I think you should be able to hit the highlights of the city with this itinerary.
>>2884454shit's retarded. what are you trying to DOOOOOOOOOOO? Why are you DOOOOOOOOOOOOing?
>>2884430You don't hate chinks, Taichinks, and SEAniggers enough. Even if you wished them all dead to tje last one, you'd still don't hate them enough. Also WTF is up with all these covered mudslime SEA nigresses. The fuck are they doing in Japan, don't they feel bad being covered like in the year 200 or some shit all while getting mogged by cute and/or sexy nip girls. Why isn't Japan completely haram for them in the first place. Surely they don't watch anime, do they. Just stay in your shithole and FUCKING STOP POLLUTING MY VIEWS. This shit is getting worse and worse. I want to go back in the 00's or the early 10's.
>>2884454id trim down 2-3 of those places and sprinkle the days in the other onesyou have to remember your travel daysso take himeji, youre leaving kobe on the 8th arriving, checking in, etc etcso half a day on the 8th, one full day on the 9th, then youre going to be getting up early and leaving the 10th id imagineso even tho you have "3 days" for himeji its more like 1.5its fun to try to MAX what you can do, but by stuffing in so many places you end up rushing or not getting to see things you want to just my two cents, in the end do what you want thats how you have the most fun regardless
>>2884507I should be angry, but it is quite funny to see how fags like you go crashout over shit like this.
how is fukuoka in july? I am thinking of going there, but I don't know about the weather. I will be 2 weeks in tokyo end of june. Do many day trips from there, then I thought I would fly to fukuoka and slowly go up to osaka/kyoto for the festival.
>>2884513its summer on an island anonits hot and humid, im from a place with diabolical weather like that, doesnt bother mebut alot of people melt in nip summer. especially euros, saw a bong thread yesterday where they were complaining about 76degree HEATWAVE. 76 lmao
>>2884517>especially euros,Turkish anon living in germany here. I will probably die, but it's okay. Will it be raining a lot though? I heard in the south it rains more than in the north.
Weather will be shit for /p/ing the next two days. Convince me to still go to Yokohama tomorrow. What is there to do, chinatown? Also a museum ship to visit, if I remember right?
>>2883966Yonago and it's surroundings for two or three nights lads?
>>2884519rain is hit or miss during summer, can typhoon for hours in a row then be perfectly sunny no clouds in the sky, just take an umbrella around with you if you care about getting wetand yes if youre from germany youre going to melt, you guys have literally no tolerance for humid heatjust wear deodorant please
