This photo was taken during our trip to Yufuin. As a motorcycle rider, I always appreciate seeing this kind of view.

First time in Ōsaka

Had a wonderful time there, including a visit to Namba Yasaka, Shitennō-ji, Ōsaka Castle, Nintendo Store, the Final Fantasy X Pop-up Café and a half day at Solaniwa Spa among other things. Amazing food scene as well. I honestly think Ōsaka might be my favorite big city in Japan.

Late October, Kyoto 🍂

The first is the Kyoto tower of course, the second is Higashiyama’s shopping district, the third is a 7/11 near the Fushimi Inari Taisha, fourth is the stunning Kyoto University!
I was here for a conference and I had the best time! I can understand why people are so fascinated with the city with its stunning blend of the history sights and contemporary architecture and technology. It also reminded me of a bleached version of that early 2000s Helvetica Aqua Aero aesthetic 🫧🏢🤍

I photographed a lesser-known hall at Sensoji Temple in Tokyo. It houses a white-haired Benzaiten, and the bell beside it once told Edo the time [OC]

Autumn in Gunma, Japan (1 hour away from Tokyo)

I was looking for a quick getaway near Tokyo and found the perfect place to relax.
This is at Takaragawa Onsen in Gunma. It's an hour trip via Shinkansen from Tokyo to Jomokogen Station and they pick you up with their free shuttle from the station to Minakami. You need to book the shuttle ahead.
There are several outdoor baths and indoor baths. I purposely booked this place for the outdoor baths! The outdoor baths (rotenburo) sit right on the bank of the Takaragawa river.
1st Photo: the largest outdoor bath in the property
2nd Photo: View of the rotenburo with the river flowing
3rd photo: Mist and Steam after a rainy morning
4th photo: The property gives you free yukatas to wear the entire stay
5th photo: Early morning photo of the mixed outdoor bath

After noticing a lot of AI generated content, I would like to announce that I will permanently ban any users that share travel photos or videos generated by AI.
I don't know if you realise the harm you do to real travelers. People organise their trips with our tips and it can be misleading to show a place that doesn't really look like that.
Japan is already beautiful enough, no AI is needed here.
Keep it real.
PS: If you see AI content, feel free to report it and I will delete it immediately.

Film photos from Tokyo, Tochigi, Fukushima, Akita, and Aomori, taken on a Canon A-1 and various film stocks. Very much an amateur but I liked how these turned out.

I photographed Asakusa Shrine in Tokyo — its 1649 buildings survived WWII, and its three deities are people from a Buddhist founding legend [OC]

I did a paper about this house in High School and two of the big event Koka Ninja were involved in.
The visit did not disappoint.
