Mate, those rocks of yours in Beppu on the previous page are actually eggs. ;)
It's showing you that the water is naturally so hot you can boil eggs in it, and they then sell the boiled eggs after.
How long have you lived here for? You're really lucky to have been able to travel so much. I live in Okinawa, so it's hard for me to get off my island!

Ahh, so they weren't trying to cook rocks! Never know with the Japanese, they do some strange thngs. Must've missed them on sale.
So you're in the tropical bit of Japan. No need to worry about snow down there! Okinawa=warmer weather but more yanks? I was only there for 3 weeks, but we covered plenty of ground. Perhaps a bit too much.
Anyway, here are some more pics
A vending machine in Kumamoto castle, which seems to sell hot food. I was hungry, but certainly not desperate enought to try this.
The famous huge torii on Miyajima, one of the most photograped things in Japan. The sun was only out for half an hour.
A sign at the top of the mountai on Miyajima, which shows the concern the Japanese have about even monkeys having a healthy diet. We didn't see any monkeys, since they were smart enough to not stand around in near freezing temperatures-it snowed lightly a few minutes later.
Kiyomizudera, Kyoto, apparently made with no nails at all. It has survived earthquakes and many centuries, so I guess they did a good job.
At a gold leaf shop in Kanazawa, they are happy to hand out specks of gold for you to ingest, to aid in the selling of larger stuff.
No expense was spared, even for the bathroom soap.
It was good to see that it wasn't only us clueless foreigners who were lost in Tokyo station. I am attempting to figure out to get to Shinjuku.
Totoro mans the ticket booth at Ghibli Museum.
Tsukiji markets at dawn, and part of the reason why the world is fast running out of bluefin tuna, among other seafood.

Hahaha. I tried those type of vending machines once during my first night in Japan. My roommate and I had to stay in a hotel cause our host mom hadn't returned from her business trip, so the school put us up in a hotel. Room service was rather expensive, and we were starving, so we decided to try the vending machine. Yes, it wasn't very tasty (I got a hot dog), but when you're hungry and want to save money, it'll suffice.

No, no worrying about snow down here - unless we actually got it, in which case, I'd be very worried! ;) But yes, plenty of military to dodge.
Don't see how you can cover too much ground in three weeks - I've been here two years, and there's still more stuff I want to see!
Anyway, this thread is for travel pics:

Looking at all these pictures makes me want to go again. The past two times I've went, I only stayed in Tokyo and only 2 days in Ito where we slept on tatamis (fun!). Seeing the pictures of ramen and fruit are making me drool so much, and I just ate. >< The Ghibli museum was awesome too.
Ahhh, I wanna go visit again!

Oh my god, the Cape Hedo pic is beautiful!

Uwa! I like the food pictures & some of the scenery. Totoros got a share of limelight too!
Interesting pics.
tsumabukis, that Cape Hedo pic is pretty. Didn't know there is red hot spring.
Thanks for sharing the pics!

Don't see how you can cover too much ground in three weeks - I've been here two years, and there's still more stuff I want to see!
Anyway, this thread is for travel pics: |
The JR pass is your friend. A highly sophisticated piece of, errr, cardboard with handwriting - we were expecting a high tech electronic pass. We definitely got value for money on our 3 week passes, as we caught trains between and sometimes within cities.
Well, we flew into Fukuoka at night, stayed there 2 nights. Here are the yattai (tiny noodle places) near the river and the red light district, which happened to be just down the road from the hotel. At 11pm on a weeknight, it was very busy.
Kumamoto Castle, Kumamoto, where we stayed 1 night. The grounds are huge, but if they really wanted to make it defensible they should have battlements on top of the walls.
Mt Aso bubbling away happily, 1 night. Thankfully it was open, sometimes it is closed due to the noxious gasses.
A sign at one of the Hells in Beppu, where we stayed 1 night. The colours of the Hells sometimes didn't come out well in photos, and I needed to err, fix some of ours to look better.
Kasuga Shrine, Miyajima, near HIroshima, 1 night. At high tide it looks like it is floating on water.
Demonic rabbit, Kiyomizudera, Kyoto. Stayed there 4 nights, by the end we'd had enough temples and shrines for a few days.
Mid morning snack, Kyoto. We were constantly on the lookout for these places after meals.
Kyoto Station, which was huge. The biggest station I've seen here in Australia doesn't compare to the ones in Japan.
Kanazawa, a small city with a huge station. Stayed there 2 nights.
Akihabara, Tokyo. Ironically, I had trouble finding anything I wanted to buy..... We stayed 8 nights in Tokyo, perhaps a bit long, or we didn't know where to go.
Mt Fuji, from a bus stop which was bloody freezing. Stayed 2 nights in Hakone, and boiled ourselves in the hot springs.
