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

LOL, that intro is hilarious!

 

Love the wedding video, DCharlie. You're a very lucky man. So you wife isn't Japanese or she is but not what is known as the typical jgirl?

 

she's half Japanese half portuguese - but she basically raised in a western way, but inhereted the games part of Japan

These days she's more of a western gamer than anything (Halo, Rainbow 6, left 4 dead, gears etc) but she'll basically play anything (FF11, Gradius 5, etc)

anyways, last few days i noticed another couple of suspicions boxes over her side of the gaming floor. Might have to go "black ops" and see what she has in there, though i fear the shoe box is going to be N64 stuff. I note with some glee that a complete unyellowed SNES has appeared on her shelf... :dance:

 

Wow! That was amazing!

 

lol..charlie, happy family with some secret spy actions :lol:

yeah..and a very great gift your friends gave to you twos wedding. absolutely priceless stuff!!

sweet pics DCharlie. i love the sun and the boat.

 

Very nice pictures indeed. I really enjoy reading this thread, nowhere else I can find such a concentrated mass of beautiful shots

What happened to your last pic btw? It seems like the colors are crumbled in huge pixels.

 

weird , looks okay to me, but there are a huge number of sensor blobs on the shot - i thought i'd linked to the cleaned up shot - i guess not

Is that the area around Kiyomizu-dera or the Inari-shrine? Looks very familiar to me.

 

it's kiyomizu-dera

Awesome! I'd so love to be in Japan right now... there are so many great places to take photos. >_>

 

Kansas looks worse and worse every time I come to this thread.

Though it did rain today, and that was nice.

 

It's been a while since I posted any pictures in this thread so today I took a few. Just my luck that it became overcasted as soon as I get the camera out :shrug:

Here's a few shots of a mystery bridge that leads off in to the sea. Nobody knows what's at the other end. To me it looks to be some sort of terminal but I can't be sure. It's been closed ever since it was built a few years back. Just what is out there?






Here's another bridge that the goverment built then wanted to charge people for using it even though there was a normal road that was just a quick. In the end this was closed down but re-opened this year for free use.

A picture of my car's console. No idea why I took it. Seems a nice shot at the time


Finally a shitty mini van dressed up in anime images. I've actually got a picture of a Suzuki Swift tarted up in anime on my phone. I'll post that soon as well. Looks rather cool in a sad way.

lol..that shop behind the mvan is a chuuko-game chain yes? found some in kanto and nagoya and their prices arised like nobody could believe it.

e.g. a lose darius alpha for 80'000yens! haha

that industrial area (oil refinery i guess) i just passed last friday night. and i will pass 'em again probably tomorrow.

 

It may be related but this one and others in the area are called Famicom World. Just like the Chuuko chain they ask really stupidly high prices for sun faded crap. God only know show they stay afloat.

they use the same font white on black. and they ask really stupidly high prices for sun faded crap. it's already hard to outbid akibas high prices, but those hustlers know no schame :lol:

 

@Yakumo

Where is this bridge? Have you tried using google maps/earth to see whats on the other end?

 

Overcast is the best time to take pictures.
