Random Japanese Pictures (56K DEATH)

Post by hashiriya1 »

Hello. I always carry my crappy digital camera wherever I go. I take random pictures for no reason.
I've been in Japan a long time, but I am still sometimes fascinated by some things, even trivial things.

Here are just a few random pics I've taken while walking or driving around. Enjoy!
Some pictures will have a small description above the photo, some speak for themselves.






This is why the small car is king in Tokyo.

Driving along the Tohoku Expressway

Image




The Expressways are NOT cheap!

Image



It cost me 4,200 yen ($45) to drive about 50 miles.
BUt now I have an electronic toll paying device, which gives you a huge discount.

Image



I love hostess bars!

Image





Godzilla rock!

Image



Somewhere in Akita...

Image




Image






Image





Driving in Akihabara

Image




KFC Drive-Thru!

Image



Image




Image






Driving in Shinjuku. This is the road from the opening scene in LOST IN TRANSLATION

Image



The Japanese military is ready for North Korea's attack!

Image




Lunch time at Tanbei!

Image



Future otaku?? (He isn't mine, I was just taking him for a day to help a single mother friend out)

Image



Image


Image


My daily commute, I hate traffic

Image




Even little kids love retro games!!

Image



Tokyo Tower down the road

Image



Before an X-JAPAN concert

Image



This is how they roll in Shibuya

Image






I LOL'd

Image




This is how my GTR sits in the winter

Cool.

Is that your daughter?

Also that chibi MegaMan in the pic of kids playing retro looks like it came out of Invader Zim!

That's just a creepy photo now :|

Also, the blush on the cheeks says otherwise.

Thanks for sharing.
I don't know why, but I find the sight of lowriders on the streets of Japan fascinating 8)

My bad :oops: , the 2AM delirium is starting to set in and I'm getting a bit punchy as I've been up for about 20 hours.

I love shots like that of Japan. It's absolutely gorgeous to me, especially when overcast like most of those. Too bad it's so expensive, though I hear the more rural provinces can be much cheaper. How's Aomori? I always wanted to see the boiling sulfur pools at Osorezan. Figure a good look at Hell might do me some good.
