Man, I'm loving these. Gives you a true feel of the city, not like the glossy, energy-charged cityscape shots you see usually, but what the place is truly like. Thanks for sharing.

Ate lunch here. Nobody spoke engrish, no picture menus, no forks. So I randomly pointed to the center of the menu and ended up with(at the time) the best food I have ever eaten in my life.

After seeing the triforce, I decided to follow along with everyone else praying at the temple.

If I remember right, you first rinse your hands and face in the fountain, waft smoke on yourself using those incense, then walk up to the front of the temple, bow, and throw a few coins in the box. You are now ready to win the lottery.

tl;dr stfu at the temple.
>> kyle

Oh yea, ring the gong AFTER the smoke thing but BEFORE you bow/pray.

The white sign probably says not to take pictures.

I reached the image limit.

Moar or nuf? The choice is yours.

yeah pretty much, 1 day there, another at ueno zoo and in between we wandered around shinjuku, ginza, and other various places. went to asakusa as well. the tower and big sight would have been neat to see.. o well, next time

I laugh at all of the otakufags that go to Tokyo for 5 days, spend 5 days in akiba, and leave without ever seeing the rest of tokyo, or other places in japan (like mt fuji, kyoto, hiroshima/miyajima, etc).

Akiba is seriously packed with weeaboo tourists nowadays. They don't understand that they can shop online for all of the shit there in akiba for several months before going to japan, and then stop at akiba to pick up their shit. If you spend more than only a few hours in akiba (just to explore, and get some things you didn't see online), then you have wasted your trip. Time is precious, and plane tickets to come back again are expensive. They need to get out and see the real japan, and how beautiful it is (especially the countryside).

Thanks a lot for posting all the pics! It's amazing to see some of the architecture and as someone mentioned earlier, it's like seeing a casual tour instead of an ad campaign.

yeah we were at akihabara for like half a day, the rest of our trip was osaka, hiroshima, miyajima, kurashiki, himeji, kyoto, nagoya, and tokyo at the end

which reminds me i can post pics of all those places in tomorrow's thread too
>> Anonymous
>>266751
The view from the top of mt. misen on miyajima is amazing. I hope you were able to get up there.

If you did get to the top and saw the view, were there any other amazing views that you saw, and would recommend going to see? I am going back this summer for about 8 weeks. I have been to all of the places you listed, except for kurashiki. I only spent a few days in hiroshima, nagoya, and kyoto though. I'm kinda bummed I didn't get to the top of mt. hiei in kyoto, the view is supposed to be amazing.
>> Anonymous
>>266754
yep we hiked to the top of mt. misen, was a hazy, overcast summers day though so couldn't see too far into the distance.

well for sheer expanse of the city, if you get to the top of the umeda sky building in osaka you get some pretty mean views. the ferris wheel by the kanyukan (sp?) aquarium isn't too bad either. spa world is a neat experience if you want to see what public bathing is all about.

we didnt do it but i think the top of tokyo tower or some other tall building in tokyo would be pretty sweet

shukkeien gardens is a nice place to visit in hiroshima

kurashiki doesnt have too much to offer apart from some old buildings

kyoto we did the standard - golden pavilion, rock garden, fushimi inari taisha (1000s of toori) - what was the highlight for us though was meeting japanese chick out on the tow who took us round a few bars and had a riverside bbq the next night

if you're technical minded do the toyota factory tour in nagoya - its free and can be done in english, it's cool to see all the robots making cars if you're into that sort of thing, need to ring and book in advance though

we would have liked to go to mt fuji and to have found some natural hot springs somewhere too, but time didn't allow for it

Went to Japan a couple of years ago - could't stop taking photos. I have like 4.5GB worth... the only problems are that a) I took them with a shitty cybershot, and b) my upload is capped at 128kbps.

Wtf, srsly.
