I love the cloudy overcast skies. I take them over sunny days any time. Who's with me?

>>14666672
Yeah I agree. It's the same reason I really want to move to Washington (Seattle).

>>14666684
As a Washingtonian, I hope you REALLY like it.

Seconding the other Washingtonian anon, have fun here, land of coffee and rain

I can post basically a 360' from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building if anyone's interested.

>>14666901

is it more or less than 45 gigapixels?

Less. Just a series of photos taken from the viewing deck.

Well I really miss just walking around tokyo with no real destination.
No other city comes to my mind that feels so comfy and safe.

>>14669049
I always wondered, how much do randoseru cost? I can't find any sort of official source for them with my limited japanese. It seems like they would either have to be shit quality, or ludicrously expensive.

>>14669113
http://ranking.rakuten.co.jp/daily/301055/

I just randomly googled. So I'm not sure if this is an accurate reflection.

I was waiting for this thread.

Post more images, dudes.

>>14669113
popular price range is 250-350 dollars
its expensive since randoseru is supposed to be used for 6 years long during elementary school
im a japanese so i know it

>>14669663
Is this Nagasaki?

>>14669652
Thanks for this image. It hit me in the feels.

>>14666672
I am with you dude

You are so right. I've spent months just walking aimlessly around Tokyo. There's never a lack of things to see.

>>14671361
Any particular place that you would recommend? I would love to get some new places to go in Tokyo. I've usually wandered around Saitama and the north mostly since that's where I've stayed, but anything works.

I usually go to points of interest and get lost around them. I don't even try, my sense of direction is horrible and I never go the same way twice so I never backtrack. You get to see more that way. Lots of walking. Good exercise.

No, steampunk.

There are pipes that let out steam.

Wahhhh! Too much feels please stop kind sir. Feels like nostalgia but I've never gone to Japan. Wahhhh! Me me go Japan please!

Dear Landscape Anons

If I wanted to purchase a digital camera so I can take my own comfy photos while in Japan, which camera would you recommend? I'll use it for figurine close-up pictures too.

Looking to spend around $300-$500

I don't know much on cameras but what ever you decide on you might be able to get cheaper in Tokyo. In one of the tax free shops.

>>14677002
I'm sure its just the angle, anon.

>>14670198
Mine too. I wish I had a cool beautiful place like that to play football during my childhood.

>>14678930
>play football during my childhood

Its overrated.

>>14669652
Skateboarding must not exist in Japan. That looks like prefect flatground.

>>14677507
Do you particularly care about how crisp the resolution is?

No: Used entry-level DSLR with 18-55mm lens, Canon Powershot

Yes: Be prepared to spend more than $500 (unless you get a really good bargain in Japan) and be prepared to do some research. It really depends on the lens. Never ever listen to /p/

>>14679028
.....I meant perfect, not prefect.

>>14669049
Gosh, I think it will be a perfect fit for me, is it exclusively Tokyo or is it the same everywhere in Japan?

>>14677507
Anything that isn't DSLR level is actually inferior to modern phone cameras nowadays, or at least so similar that there's no point buying a camera separately. The best you could try to do is try find a 2nd hand DSLR that comes with some lenses, you might be able to find older model crop sensors for that price.

>>14680387
Dear god.

>>14679987
I would've loved to walk around aimlessly in Tokyo, but family was around.
But even walking with them, I could feel it.

It's kind of like an urban fantasy. There are signs you can't read, people who look different, and the bustle that brings the city to life.
But in all that sweet noise, it's so easy to just sink into. Like you become the camera in a film exploring the sights of the busy capital of Japan, Like your own physical self doesn't matter, left simply absorbing the experience.
You can tune yourself out of the world and passively listen to everything around you, and at the same time you can block everything outside and listen to the silence in yourself.

But that's just me.

>>14680387
Thank you so much for sharing these, anon.

Does anyone have any photos of Japan between 1910s-1950s? I have a small collection of photos of Japan from the late 1800s and now photos from 1960s-now, and I'd be interested in seeing what it was like during the periods I'm missing.

>>14680316
Where's this? Maximum comfy in that neighbourhood bit

>>14681491
Karatsu, Saga, Kyushu.

>>14681344
Usually when I walk large distances I end up tired or my feet start hurting, but during my two times in Tokyo I didn't feel anything like that, just my adventurous spirit.
Even in Rome, my second favorite city, which I've also tracked through on several occasions and entirely by foot, I would end up exhausted by the end.

>>14681344
Thanks for the insight. Liked reading it. But these stories, feels and pictures always make me sad. Sad about my chances of going and living my dream.
>>14679987
I wish I knew. I never went and I always look at my Tokyo wallpapers to make me feel happy. From all the people who went. They say it truly is a special place.

I want to walk around forests and run into demon beasts, only to be saved by a hot head swordsman. I will follow this colored haired swordsman through many journeys.

>>14675645
>>14675735
A low form of cyberpunk perhaps.

I seriously can't tell. Is this a drawing or a photo?

>>14682964
seems like an obvious photo to me

>>14675674
Pretty sure there's a term for that.

>>14684183
It seems to me it's either nostalgia for an imagination, probably for ideal life, or a nostalgia for a feeling that the image evokes. Or a bit of both, we experience reality colored by our attitudes, and most of our memories are probably false.

Pretty much this. But actually you miss the smell, the sun, noises from all directions, etc. Watching this brings back memories but it is not nearly as cool as in real.

I really like how Japanese people aren't assholes who litter. It makes cities here look like a third world country by comparison.

>>14688637
I tried to not litter for the longest time, despite my city looking like shit with trash thrown all over the place

Eventually, I gave in. Just throw everything to the ground when I'm done with it. Just last night I threw a pop can and some tissues on the concrete despite there being a trash receptacle less than 2m away. I don't care anymore. I wonder what that means, if anything. It makes me feel weird because even if I littered in Japan, I am just one person and it would still be ultra clean.

Grammar seems to be pretty easy going, but the kanjis fuck me up so hard, if I understood it right, if they're used alone they mean a noun, not the way they're read and if they're used in a word they're just a symbol to read, right?

>>14692447
Everything can be enjoyed alone, In fact it often makes things a more personal experience. Either way I'll be your friend anon.

>>14692557
Kanji are just words, they're used in a number of ways, you'll learn that when you actually start on the grammar.

>>14692560
i don't speak nip and i'm uncomfortable talking to strangers even if i did meet other english speaking people so it would be shit having nobody to connect with for an entire month and most things are much more enjoyable when done with other people from going to the beach or camping to simple things such as getting dinner and drinks at a bar

This guy has a lot of photos of "roofscapes" for lack of a better term, and many other interesting Tokyo photos.

What I really like about Tokyo is how dense it is. There's apartments, rooftops, businesses, alleys, sidestreets, stairs, balconies and tunnels all over the place. Very much unlike my city that's just a grid with wide streets and almost no elevation changes, the pinnacle of boring urban design.

I don't think I'll ever visit Japan though. It's just too expensive.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/megane_wakui/ here's one I like
not updated that frequently though

>>14693413

>>14693046
It must have felt great going there for the first time? Surreal experience?
>>14693140
>I don't think I'll ever visit Japan though. It's just too expensive.
It's really not. You can check around and see with what kind of budget people went to Japan for how long and what they were able to do.

Not strictly related, but if I want to upload my photos somewhere and have someone see them, is flickr my best option? I used to get a few hits on my wordpress blog but I stopped updating it a while ago and haven't used it since.

Actually looks quite small to me.

>>14692747
>>14692447
>>14692194

Literally me. Every single green text point to the dot.

Except I have hard mode, I'm extremely East Asian and I can imagine the natives mistaking me as one of their own and speaking to me in Japanese. That misunderstanding would literally worsen my autism to no end.

That and I have so many problems in general, going would feel like escapism and running away which I sorta am already.

By the way how do you have the money? Considering your autistic/socially retardness.

>>14693413

We need like a pastebin of good photoblogs

>>14695309
The nips can easily spot Korean and Chinese people among themselves, pretty sure they could spot you and give you that famous gajin stare too.

>>14686856
I love those kinds of videos, i'm from a pretty small city so everything there looks so surreal to me.
If only plane tickets weren't so damn expensive around here.

>>14692194
- take out a personal loan, get a job(if you already have one, get a additional job), there's always a way to get money.
- go by yourself and see the things YOU want to see. i go by myself and it's really the only way to travel.
- multiple trips! i go every year.
- think positive!
- hookers!

Any comfy locations in Tokyo I should visit? Going there in a week.

>>14696009

Besides that, just take the Yamanote line, get off anywhere, and start walking.

Well, that's just normal. You'll find places like those everywhere.

Went to the supermarket today, but I had about 15 minutes before it was gonna open, so I did a small walk around the neighborhood.

Passed by some elementary school girl and her mother, probably going to school. And the girl was all like "gaijin!" "gaijin!". Obviously the mom told her to to cut it, but the girl replied that gaijins can't know Japanese.

I didn't say anything, but it was pretty funny.

That's my story from today.

>>14696830
Not really any specific ones. All I can say is that you should check out all the floors, they often contain different stores. Akiba especially is ridiculously vertical.

Also from>>14693413

>>14696941
No idea where specifically that is, but if you follow the train tracks by foot you'll probably end up finding things like it. The area under the yamanote tracks is generally pretty populated.

>>14694916
It may not be expensive for other people, but it is for me.

>>14696929
That's pretty common. And that's a pretty good story for me because I haven't been there yet.

Quite a lot of the girls cover their faces with the menu cards/direction cards.
Is this because they're just camera shy, or because they do not want to get recognized?

>>14669683
It reminds me of VN cg scenery.

>>14700665
I've seen that in many places. Even in S.Korea they do that. It has to do with modesty. Kind of like saying were not worth having the camera on us and instead take something else.

I know these videos are nothing new but I like to watch these trains going around the Jap cities.

>inb4 fuck off waapanese

>>14700736
>>14700665
That's not modesty, stop thinking asian women are muh precious delicate flowers.
They don't want to be seen on cameras because these girls often don't want to be recognized or seen working here, there has been several cases of blackmailing.

>>14700870
>blackmailing
For what? For working at a restaurant?
I just think it's cultural and some of the girls might not even know why they are doing it. And in asian countries group mentality is strong instead of trying to stand out which is looked down on. All in all it's really hard to know.
