What the fuck happened to the previous thread?

The lack of content was so great that it got forgotten and ended up being bumped of the catalog?

Amazing. Really nice work, slackers.

>>16057203

You're the one who made the last thread, didn't post any pictures, and then complained the whole time, aren't you?

I have 1200 photos from my trip yet I can't upload them because lol 4 MB max.

>>16079757

>>16079757

>4mb limit why
Because JapMoot wants to make dank yen off of 4chan.

When you export from lightroom, set a 1000 pixel max for longest side. Nice and small file size, you still large enough to properly look at.

>>16079749
Sinkholes are a hell of a drug.

I've been there too.

>>16079757
You can run the whole folder through caesium or something

>>16079993
It's been 4mb way longer than hiro's been around.

>>16080339

I thought it was 5mb before?

Last couple of mornings I have been greeted by cats.

>>16080277
I can just batch it with Photoshop but I don't have 4chan pass and it's a hassle to upload all of it one by one.

>>16079993
Thats too small!


Also can't help but feel that most Maids aren't all that attractive.

There's an >>>/hr/ if you really need to post unecessarily large images, you know.

The thing that really surprised me about Japan is they don't gouge tourists like we do here in Croatia.

You can go to Dubrovnik and pay 10€ for a fucking 0.1L Cappuccino or Espresso.

I climbed Mount Innari and they only charged 200 yen for 0.25L drinks there thats about 60 yen more then a kombini.

>>16080573
Also Ueno Park ice cream - 500 Yen
Ice Cream at fucking Mount Inari - 350 Yen

Also My fucking face when I got this entire fucking 2 story house for 13$ a day because nobody goes to Japan in October TOP KEK.

They're awesome but you'll never get to use one because you don't have a japan ID. even my friend who taught there for years never got an ID that could do it...

>>16083027

You do now. Everyone with a long term Visa gets a proper ID now and not just a gaijin card.

Plus I assume a driver's license would work, which is really easy to get.

nice pics anons!

>>16080600
Looks nice
You living there or was it on holiday?

Also where at?

I'm glad this thread picked up. I really needed something like this to cheer me up today.

This is the kind of landscape I dream of living in. It's too bad that the northern cities in places like Hokkaido don't have a ton of historical monuments and other particularly old pieces of heritage, because otherwise somewhere like Sapporo would be my dream city.

It literally takes 5 minutes to open each of these images.

Thanks a lot, America.

I ended up here almost by mistake, never browse the board

Anyway, wanted to say, most of these pics are great
>especially the cats
I don't know if it's the case in reality, but it looks like a super comfy place, wherever these were taken

>>16086143

Is Airbnb the best way to travel for cheap? I was looking at rates in San Francisco and because of local laws its just as expensive as paying for a hotel. It's surely not the same in Japan, is it?

>>16086260
It's very good, I've only had positive experiences, both pricing and the people I've stayed with. Bear in mind that it might be illegal in their local area and you might need to reaccomodate if something is to happen.

People from where I live flock to where you live during the summer.

>>16106115
I'm not saying it's the hottest in the world, but it's still pretty bad. Where do you live?

And no. They don't flock to where I live. I'm not from LA or San Diego I'm in the bumfuck desert.

>>16080573
Not if you speak hrvatski!

>>16106115
Sorry to disappoint you but it's true, it's still summer around here. It was 91 today in Los Angeles county and it's gonna be 85 tomorrow. Accuweather claims it'll be 75 on wednesday and stay under 80 for at least a week but knowing how shit Los Angeles weather is i'm not gonna trust the Accuweather. I hope it does officially get cold because I got jackets waiting in my closet.

>>16106342
sorry, when people say socal i automatically assume LA/SD. i'm from AZ so when i hear people from california complain about heat I can't help but chuckle.

>>16108528
I've spent a fair amount of time in phoenix, used to have family there. I'm about an hour from death valley and its very similar.

>>16106477
>I got jackets waiting in my closet
I've pretty much given up on wearing mine and I like jackets.

>>16086072
They don't have monuments because Hokkaido is an Ainu land conquered by the Japanese.

>>16112679
Oh I know. The Ainu origin is certainly another thing that makes Hokkaido so fascinating in history though so it's not like I want to disparage the island.

>>16115496
They're interesting, but I unfortunately don't know much about north Asian peoples. The idea that the Kuril islands belong to either Japan or Russia is foolish either way.

It's meant to be summer here, but it hasn't heated up much and it's rainy most of the time. I have a long sleeve on most days. It's meant the be the hottest summer on record which I'm not looking forward to.

Has anyone entered Buraku areas?

It's considered dangerous and taboo in Japan

Dumping some photos I took earlier on during summer. I'll post more if people think they're not entirely shit.

Man, I miss summer.

>>16115980
Holy shit, this was packed. What even goes on here besides the overpriced food stands?

>>16116003
Kameoka Peace Festival (near Kyoto). Even the trains running out there in the evening were full of people. And back towards Kyoto afterwards, too.

>>16115998
This was more towards the end of summer, when all of the typhoons were hitting Japan. My flight back home got delayed thanks to one of them. Pic not really related, but meh. Kyoto is nice.

>>16116003
Also, "overpriced" is debatable. I didn't check them out because I was too busy shooting photos, but you're more likely to see that in city festivals than you are out in the countryside.

>>16116011
>(near Kyoto)

Ah, so it was filled with gaijin then. Figures.

>>16116025
Ehhh, there were a couple around that evening, but there were way more locals from around the area. Most of the gaijin probably didn't bother leaving the city for this, not that I'm complaining. It was pretty annoying having to put up with them getting drunk and being pants-on-head retarded while walking by the riverside and checking out the Tanabata stuff that was going on at the time.

>>16116038
Fuck gaijins, man. They ruin everything.
Good photos though, thanks for sharing.

>>16055803

The leaves are starting to turn.

>>16116025

>gaijin filled kyoto

At certain times of the year it is SO bad.

Swarms of Chinese just mobbing everything.

>>16116188
Really? It was significantly worse in Osaka than in Kyoto when I visited both. In terms of Chinese hordes, anyway.

>>16116435
Fuck the Chinaman.

>>16116435

Depends on the season/location.

Fall and spring are especially bad in Kyoto due to leaves turning and sakura.

Fuck Whitey

>>16121020
Good thing I was there in summer, then. Anyway, I'll get some more photos uploaded when I have the time.

>>16121335
Please do, dude. I really need some summer right about now.

>>16121347
I have been absolved of my responsibilities elsewhere, so here are some photos from summer 2015.

>>16093109
This one is lovely

I'd like to go out of my way to shamelessly shill for this place in Osaka. The owner speaks excellent English, and brews excellent coffee. It's also a reasonably nice place, all in all (he has classical music on most of the time).

Website here: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/seiso-coffee/

>>16122456
Same place.

great photos anon

And one more from summer 2016 to round things off.

>>16122540
Thanks for the uploads, nice pictures. Whereabouts were you?

>>16122487
Is that Kyoto station?

>>16122306
Beautiful picture

Worthy of desktop wallpaper, except for that giant road cone :/

>>16124447

It's Shijo. They recently redid it all (expanded the sidewalk), that picture looks mid construction, so sometime earlier this year?

You could go now and take a much cooler looking one.

Nice thread. Wish I can visit Japan again soon...

>>16123792
Looks a bit like roppongi to me, but I've only been there briefly.

>>16122374
Naoshima right? Lovely little island!

>>16123792

Very similar in design, but not Kyoto Station.

>>16116041
>Fuck gaijins
>fuck the photographers of these photographs
????

>>16125382
It's the other gaijins that's the problem.

Trust me. When you go to Japan the best times you have are when you don't see any other foreigners around.

awesome photos, anons. this >>16125471 will be my lock screen picture for a while.

>>16124511
>You could go now
Don't think I'll ever make it to the promised land. But if I do, Shijo will be on my list.

>>16123578
Many places. I believe the order was something like Kyoto -> Naoshima -> Tottori -> Osaka -> Nagano -> Kanazawa (day trip) -> Tokyo.

>>16123792
Kanazawa Station. Kanazawa is a very lovely place that avoided any major damage during the war by virtue of being on the wrong coast for bombing / shelling, and has been described as a mini-Kyoto of sorts. Unfortunately, there's been a recent push towards generating tourism revenue, and a Shinkansen link that goes all the way to Tokyo via Nagano was completed in 2015, so the tourist hordes have already begun ravaging the place.

>>16124447
>>16124511
This was taken during summer 2015 (August?). I didn't bring a tripod because of the number of places I was visiting; I didn't want to have to lug that around everywhere, I wanted to be as mobile as possible. Unfortunately, this made shooting in low-light situations a lot more difficult. I think I pulled this one off by mounting the camera on a large rectangular metal box (for electricity?) somewhere along the pavement. If I had brought a tripod, though, I could probably taken a more aesthetic photo (i.e. without the road cone).

>>16124546
Correct.

>>16125382
This >>16125404 is about right, in a rather counter-intuitive way. If you're there to take photos in a documentative kind of way, the most annoying and jarring thing is the tourists, and/or the foreigners who are too busy in their own gaijin bubble to notice that they're kicking up one hell of a ruckus.

Doesn't make you any less of an outsider yourself, but at least you're not actively being a retard.

>>16122298
Just got a chance to look at them. Nice stuff my man.
Nice stuff.

How does someone who browses /jp/ live in Japan?

>>16130057

>>16130057

Not really. It isn't a still from a video. The camera records a second before and after the picture and attaches them to it. So if you suddently jerk the phone around before taking the picture, nothing would happen to the image.

Going over vacation photos and getting a little bit of image and sound with it is great.

But I realize you just want to be an internet contrarian so ok.

Speaking of, the most fun thing is to call Japanese exchange students "gaijin" when they study in the states.

Drives some of then crazy.

>>16132529
I... I don't understand the question, anon.

>>16132529
Not all of us live there. Some of us go there and travel around and take aesthetic photos. But yes, some people in this thread probably live there. Is that a problem?

>>16136999
He wanted to know what is life in Japan.
How is your daily routine; your days, your months etc...

>>16137427
Well, it probably varies quite a bit from anon to anon.
For me, it generally goes like this:
wake up at 6 AM
take the train to work
work until 4
take the train home
buy groceries and walk home
go on 4chan
take a shower
make and eat dinner
go to bed

Pretty much the same every day. On weekends, sometimes I'll take a walk around my town, do some shopping, etc. Maybe I'll take the train into the city and shop there. Usually, though, I just hole up inside my apartment because I don't particularly enjoy social interaction.

>>16137558
At the risk of sounding condescending (I assure you that I don't mean it that way), do you have any hobbies other than 4Chan? Or is work just too draining as it is?

>>16137427

So you can stalk me? No thanks.

>>16137592
I also enjoy books, films, television, documentaries, and the odd game. And if the mood strikes, I'll occasionally go birdwatching. But yes, I am largely wiped out by the time I get home from work and generally like to spend my free time sitting still.

>>16137558

>>16142706
Myself, (>>16142596) organization.

I'm in Fukushima. So today has been fun.

>>16142715
How goes the recovery effort? There was a talk recently in my area by a couple of people who were affected by that incident. It was interesting, to say the least.

>>16142758
Still ongoing. Some regions that were evacuated due to radiation will have schools and such returning to them in the next couple of years.

>>16142706

Directly contracted to the university on a semester by semester basis as a 非常勤講師 (part time) as I work on my PhD.

Only teaching three classes, and I have no clue if I have a position there beyond next semester. Not sure if I wanna stay either.

>>16143143
If you don't mind my asking, what's your degree and how did you get employed? I'm working on a B.A. and if I could perhaps go for my Masters in Japan, I'd like to consider it.

>>16116011
>Kyoto is nice.
Yes, very nice, except when you need to move around more than your feet or a bike can handle. Subway not developed enough; train has poor connections between the 5 lines/companies; bus is mostly the only choice but when you're not very familiar with the bus lines & timetables, it can be difficult to use efficiently.

why is japan so comfy, is it just weeb nostalgia or is there something intrinsic and demonstrable that causes this feeling?

>>16146030
If I a had to guess, I would wager on lots of nature + really nice architecture.

>>16145156
>what's your degree

Global Studies.

>how did you get employed?

An upperclassman contacted me about a position that just opened up. I applied and was working the next week.

>go for my Masters in Japan, I'd like to consider it.

Lots of English language programs have sprouted up since Global 30. From my understanding they are more aimed at global tracts then STEM type stuff though.

I went to an intensive language program before moving on to a masters program here. I originally intended to job hunt after my masters, but I managed to get an awesome scholarship so I decided to roll with it and get my PhD too. The program I am in is kind of bilingual. Some classes are English, some Japanese, some a weird mix. The seminars are half English and half Japanese.

>>16055803
i am listening to vaporwave music while browsing this thread. the weed from last night is still in my system. relaxed.

>>16146030
The reasons I find Japan comfy are:

-Narrow streets. When everything is close together it feels comfy

-High variety of buildings: Almost each bulding has a different size, color, style. It makes Japan look more personal and interesting. The power lines add to this too.

-Just more quirky details in general. The shop signs are more colorful. There are vending machines everywhere.

-It's clean


I could walk through the streets of Japan for hours. I find it amazing how in one city it can go from dynamic metropolis with skyscrapers and lots of traffic to cozy residential areas that look like a village.

>>16155886
>High variety of buildings: Almost each bulding has a different size, color, style. It makes Japan look more personal and interesting

also the fact every sub-urban house is different unlike the human farms architecture here in north merica
