Life in Japan - Pictures galore !! Arcades, Temples, Rainy days, etc

I took a photo from my office today. It was like being trapped in a snow globe.

 

Cool, you'll have to show us it. It's actually quite sunny now but cold at 2 degrees Celsius. Well cold for Japan.

 

Awesome shots as any time, just watching it with a glas of Nikka Yoichi Single Malt from japan *cheers*
Maybe possible to do some shots from Hokkaido distillery there? Not sure, but will be great location?

i would love to go on a trip to Japan, that would be a life dream come true

 

HAHA,
offcourse, the japanse girls got your attention!

 

Ah, but she was a very pretty one

 

Fukuoka? Guessing, because it doesn't feel like winter.

 

Kitakyushu, Kokura. Actually, it was colder in Shimonoseki where I live even though it's only a 40 minute drive away.

 

Went through a few rolls. Only had a few keepers, but they are my oldest rolls. Was not quite as honed.
As per usual, these are all candid. A couple look posed.

Tell me about it
One day..

 

Hanami-Celebration
Not exactly in Japan but in Germany - Ekō-Haus (Duesseldorf)

Would be nice to see some pictures of a Hanami-Celebration in Japan.

 

Wow, that place in Germany looks very authentic. Actually, all the cherry blossoms have wilted away now. I didn't get a chance to take any shots this year due to work.

 

very nice shot, is it possible you have it in higher resolution? (want it for my desktop background)

 

Could you give me the correct location of that place in dusseldorf? I'd like to go there as Dusseldorf is not far away from where I live

 

The address of the Eko House is
Brüggener Weg 6, 40547 Düsseldorf

If you're in Düsseldorf, then you could visit the other japanese garden. It's located at the Bayer Chempark (next to Düsseldorf) and is also open to the public
Kaiser-Wilhelm-Allee, 51373 Leverkusen

(I took the pictures there last year)

Did you find the last guy randomly or was the picture staged? A dude with a Super Famicom under his arm playing 3DS, what the hell! Haha

 

lol, the last picture is great @GaijinPunch !

 

The last picture is way too good! Made me laugh man.

 

Thanks guys.

Totally candid shot, Ave. Just outside the Meiji Jinguu entrance of Yoyogi Park. Forgot about this shot until I developed the roll a few weeks ago, which was well over a year old. I walked by and just had to go back for the shot, of course.
