Akiba is coming up soon. It is park tiem noa.

There's a long row of museums in Ueno park. A nice concentration of the best ones. Japan national, science, and western art museums all right beside each other.

This isn't my pic but I'm using it to explain a quick story.

Leaving Asakusa, at the subway ticket machine one of my friends inserts a 10,000 yen($100) bill into it, this is bad. The thing starts beeping and screaming at him in moonspeak, so the reast of us did what any good friend would do in a situation like this, laughed uncontrollably from a distance. Suddenly, from what we thought was a speaker, a head shoots out. "it" and my friend almost headbutt each other. Both startled, what ensues is the worst and longest conversation between Japanese-English ever. The head: pointing at things with his nose while rambling off japanese. My friend trying to use sign language, engrish, and charades. In the end, after the audience had died down, he ended up with about 20,000 yen($200).

tl;dr get a one week subway pass

From the last thread, we were talking about how otakufags waste all their time here. I have to agree, of all the places around Tokyo I visited, Akiba actually had the most foreigners walking around. Don't me wrong, its a must see if you're in Tokyo but it's WAY down on the list.

At night the shops actually do glow brightly like this. It's hard to see what some places sell until you're right infront of them.

We were in Tokyo for 5 full days(Mon-Fri). I wish I had a chance to experience the weekend though.

Our trip was planned about half a year before we went. Because of that and going during the quiet time of the year(Sep-Oct). I spent less than a grand total.

ah, guess it does depends on how long you stay. i was there for 12 days and we went to tokyo-hiroshima-kyoto-tokyo. in our case it saved us about as much as it cost (bout $450). if i were to go again though, i think i'd still get one, because of the convenience it gives you to go anywhere anytime.

Do you have any photos of suburban Japan? Or can you tell us what it looks like?

I've recently watched The Girl Who Leapt Through Time, and I loved the atmosphere is presented in the suburbs, but what is it actually like?

streets are narrow as hell in suburb japan, I thought they were one way streets the first time I was on them. They are two-way though, but BARELY fit two japanese cars side by side

The normal ticket vending machines take 10000 yen notes just fine, you must have broken it or used the wrong one.

You must not have actually be in the suburbs. Most of the streets are plenty wide enough for two cars to pass, though still not as wide as american streets.
>> Anonymous
>>267230
you must have been on the main streets in the suburbs then. Most streets in the suburbs that aren't main streets (which are most of them) are really narrow

when i was in japan, late October early November i found this memorial area really fucking lame.

Also, all of these photos are nice because it's japan. (omg yay!) but they're really touristy. (no offense)

i'll tell you one thing, when i visted japan in june-july, i was really surprised how green the country is outside of the cities. as soon as you get to the edge of a city, it quickly becomes overgrown. areas like tokyo and hiroshima are really densely populated, and i wasn't able to see very much of the suburban areas of those cities (tokyo has large appartment complexes all the way to the edge of the city however). the buildings usually tend to get shorter the farther from the center of the city you're in. not too many one story buildings though in the cities.

kyoto, however, was a lot more spread out, wider streets, not too many tall buildings. i walked halfway across town (temple touring), and the urban areas were pretty nice.

i was also fortunate enough to go to miyajima, a small island in souther japan. no tall buildings, very spread out. there were a bunch of really old houses with some large gardens aswell. since it is pretty much illegal to cut down trees in japan, there are tons of trees everywhere outside the main city. it's very nice and extremely beautiful.

japan is hot and humid as fuck during the summer though. rains a bunch too. go visit in a cooler season if you can
