>>8129145where in Japan is this?
>>8130142Not that anon but searching the confectionary shop opposite the 7 Eleven (和菓子処 おかふじ) gave me this address7-43 Imaiminamicho, Nakahara Ward, Kawasaki, Kanagawa 211-0064, JapanStreet view on Google Maps is daytime so a very different vibe from this shot. Still neat though
I'll be going back in a month and a half; can't waitHopefully I'll get to bring back some pretty pictures
While it's still winter
First time on my own (bringing someone new to the country); hopefully my japanese will be good enough, but I've been studying
fuck me but those pictures are getting old; that's 2019
Up
Took this 3 years ago in Tokyo. I wanna go back so bad.
This was from my honeymoon to Japan back in the summer of 2024'. This trip absolutely FUCKED me up. I'm considering this to have been the peak of my life at this point. The last day before we flew back to the states, my wife had a medical emergency and needed emergency surgery in a hospital in Kyoto. She pulled through, but it was a bowel resection and we had to stay for another 2 1/2 weeks. It was then 2 1/2 weeks on my own in Kyoto, in the Ryokan we were staying at, and it was both the scariest yet most beautiful time of my life. By myself for that long, drinking at Izakayas, walking the streets of the city. If you put me there now, I could guide you on foot to most places, I guarantee it. Shortly after this trip, my dad got a stage 4 gallbladder cancer diagnosis. He's still around, but he just recently got a year to live diagnosis. So many other things have gotten worse in my life since then, this trip feels like the last time things felt good and positive in general. I know this mindset isn't healthy, but it's hard to not think like this. My one goal is to eventually become fluent in Japanese so that in the future, I can go back, look up the surgeon again that treated my wife, and do a whole "You may not remember me..." bit and treat him to dinner. Anyway, this was one of the pictures that sticks out in my mind from the trip. Hope others enjoy it.
>>8132134Bittersweet memory and a noble reason to learn japanese. How expensive was it? Could someone working a retail job afford it?
>>8132134Thanks for sharing anon. The story and the picture. Hopefully you'll be able to find him and I hope things will get better for you.
any comfy japanese countryside wallpapers?
>>8138649very nice
secret cat in this one
Maybe I overfixated in that spot a littleGood thing I came back a couple days after to take even more pictures
100% sure I've taken better pictures from this spot, but it'll be a while until I actually edit them, so it'll be a surprise whether or not I should have posted this one
This thread is beautiful, thank you guys
finished editing Ozu; that's that donebacklit scenes like this one are always the hardest to deal with, it's basically like editing two different pictures at once, and I only slightly overfixated during my visit of the Matsui residence
>>8140260that's korea u racist aiEEEEEE ALL ROOK SAME??!?
>>8139821Is this an edit? Or is this in Kyoto?

Thanks for all the content. Amazing thread
>>8141350Glad to hear you like it; I sometimes feel like I'm bloating it with my postsBut then, it also keeps it aliveThere's a looot of stuff I still have to edit though, I might still spill in the next thread loleIf you want more I have a regular fuckton already uploaded here dating from 2023 : https://mega.nz/fm/O4pHyYxSAnd there are more from even further back (quality is sometimes meh): https://mega.nz/folder/mpoUGKLY#SLXhckEJbu_Qq0-sxRy09A
>>8138676More with this vibe? Urban green/orange/yellow? Even better if from 90s-2000s
>>8141367Not quite from me, I do like that old Matrix era look though, very nostalgic
>>8141354>https://mega.nz/fm/O4pHyYxSCant access this one. Dunno why
>>8141426>>8141354My bad, I fucked up the 2023 link; here's one that should work: https://mega.nz/folder/PoYAAIRZ#1dbfdb9YSBsJDs3rki7HLw
>>8141428Yup, it's working. Thanks
Big tip for anyone is to follow random Japanese photographers on Twitter, basically hundreds of new great wallpapers every day for you to choose from
>>8141439Cool place, there's so much shit to see in KyushuI need to spend some time there

Well well, I finished editing Matsuyama; so prepare for Kyoto next Unless I start locking in I'm maybe still a couple months from being done, fucking hell
>>8141976Couldn't decide so here's a slightly different angle
I also have this one a tiny bit more cropped in, but since this is a wallpaper board this version should crop to 16:9 betterThere's always a certain irony in posting 2:3 stuff
way too many people at Kiyomizu Dera, as expected
The view's great though
Incredible pictures, thank you so much for posting them.
>>8141903thanks
>>8142470Thank you, I'm really glad you like them!It's nice to share them here where I don't have to sacrifice the quality too much (I still hit the 6Mb limit sometimes)>>8142486Apparently this place is (fancy) hot spring hotel, must be nice
>>8142576a (fancy)*
Huh I didn't post any Onomichi here and barely any HiroshimaGuess I have backlog
caw
>>8142771Once again, thanks for your photos. Do you post your stuff somewhere ?
>>8143169Thank you!I only really post them here and on Instagram ; I kinda wish there was a better platform for it, but as long as they're shared somewhere the job's donehttps://www.instagram.com/_memoriesofsomewhere/I'm posting the photos of japan here first actually, those on insta are shared in sets of 10 with some additional informations
I don't post all the pictures here though; I try to stay above a certain level of quality/wallpaper apropriateness I'll make a big Mega folder with the extras included to share once I'm done editing the whole trip
>>8142766>>8142768thanks
