Might upload a few of the better pics i took from my holiday in japan.

My itinerary basically included Tokyo > Nikko > Hakone > Takayama > Hiroshima > Kyoto. So i'll take requests for pics of things in those places and ill see if i saw/took photo's of it.

If not ill just upload my favourite ones.

Pic is the thing that was growing on my plane window on the trip there. Melbourne > Singapore > Narita Japan.

Nope, its actually a really fuck awesome city now. I really enjoyed it there.

The peace park is really interesting but damn depressing.

Pic is an example of the awesome engrish you can find in japan. Happens to be a pachinko parlor in hiroshima.

The govt side of shinjuku. Its rather humorous because the govt side is really clean and nice and the other side of the station is the red light district where you have to dodge the pimps at like 4pm onwards.

Anon #1 back again.

Akihabara was totally awesome, it absorbed me for about 5 hours and i only got through about 2 blocks of stores. Saw people cosplaying there, french maids handing out flyers for their stores.

Better than i ever expected it to be.

Grab an okonomoyaki pancake, the citys specialty. Pic releated (There fucking delicious i had them 2 nights in a row) How long have you got there? There's some nice gardens plenty of shopping, baseball was awesome (there was a game on while i was there that i went to see). Did a daytrip to Miyajima island to see the famous floating torri gate, hmm. Hiroshima palace wasnt that good.

Anything you want to do in particular?

Peace park is worth it, if morbidly depressing. I didnt think much of hiroshima castle, if your gunna day trip to any castle go see himeji which isnt far from kyoto.

Oh, were you on like a tour group or something? I hate those since you can't really control time and you never learn about those secret backroads that sometimes lead to something delicious

Yeah i was, Intrepid tour. It was really good actually. Didnt get ferried around like farm animals. Basically there were incuded activities (like the major hotspots and the guides own personal favourites) and they gave us detailed and marked maps and assistance/info to get wherever we wanted. only an 8 person group which was nice.

I was only 21 (22 now i guess) and it was my first time outside of Aus or on a trip alone without my family so i thought i better play it safe haha. Now i've done it once im comfortable doing it again solo, japan is like bizaro world, but safe ya know? Its like a crazy man with a gun, except it has a saftey on it and he cant turn it off.

I would definitely return again on my own or with friends for a more personalized holiday.

Spent the majority of the time wandering around solo anyway. Some of the most rewarding things i found were the people, i had a homeless guy stop and talk to me in Ueno park for an hour and a half. I didnt even figure out he was homeless till the last minute when he walked away after giving me directions to asakusa.

Well, I went on a Sunday afternoon, around 4-5, and I think the one I went to was pretty popular too since they had a second little branch thing like a block away.

The best fast food in akihabara. Take the exit #2 from metro station and you will end up in front of Coco's. They make the best curry that I've tasted. This plate costs around 4$.
