This is (surprise) a branch of some kind, near a temple of some kind, most likely near Kyoto. |
|
|
Hidden in the middle of one of the older temple districts, not too far from the Path of Philosophy, was this classy hotel. |
|
|
Sadly, I only got a chance to sleep with just one Japanese while I was in Japan. Check it out! |
|
|
I can't remember which train station this is, but it's probably Shinjuku station in the early afternoon, during the week. |
|
|
This delightful scene is actually an advertisement for a parking lot near Nikko. |
|
|
Unbelievably, I did see actual geisha in Kyoto. I tried my best not to bother them by taking a picture, which is why you don't see too much here. |
|
|
What the fuck? This is Gibraltar. Guess I should change the film in my camera more often! Look for Africa in the distance. |
|
|
The stereotypical temple in Kyoto, this baby's covered in gold leaf. Woohoo! |
|
|
Enid, hon, you never looked so good. From the movie theaters near the Yebisu Beer Museum. |
|
|
Himeji Castle. |
|
|
Again, I have no idea where this is... |
|
|
... just as I have no idea where this is. As you can see, it was early autumn this October. |
|
|
About a five minute walk from Kyoto train station was this newly build addition to an ancient monastery. |
|
|
A very small portion of the magnificent feast served to me in my Kyoto ryokan. The most perplexing part was the small serving of what looked like six pinto beans in a bong of some kind. |
|
|
Guess I just have a love of European architecture that's seen better days... |
|
|
... not unlike this hideous school building that could very well have been built in Chisinau, not Kyoto. Go figure. Guess Soviet style will never die. |
|
|
Thus must have been yet another temple in Kyoto. |
|
|
The astute will notice that this picture is not right side up. |
|
|
Yet another gigantonormous Shinto shrine, this one in the NE of Kyoto. |
|
|
Motto Parco, Hiroshima. This really should have looked artier but I kinda suck with pictures. Across the street from Okonomiyaki-mura. |
|
|
Yup, that's the original Nintendo company building in Kyoto. |
|
|
This isn't Japan. |
|
|
From the love hotel in Kyoto comes this EZ-Read™ sign. |
|
|
Yet another out of place picture, I think this is probably Ronda, Andalucia. |
|
|
The last thing I ate before leaving the country was my first ever serving of takoyaki. |
|
|
Again, another temple near Kyoto. Getting tired of this yet? Would it help if you had to pay ¥1200 to enter each and every one of 'em? |
|
|
The best ice cream cone ever, downstairs from the Shinjuku HMV. |
|
|
A blurry picture of the Tokyo skyline. |
