Have a trip in August. I'll be sure to tell you then.
I think the mountains and forests are great.
The Tokyo shopping is great for otaku.
If you like skiing or just country side Japan with colonial influences Hokkaido is the place.
I could only tell you nothing about south japan such as Nagisaki

>>148040Yeah, I went last summer with some friends
I met through a /v/ groupWas pretty poorly planned, but a lot of fun. Went to bars, a maid cafe, some temples, some arcades and a lot of merch shops.
Just walking around Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto was really cool.
At one point I took this "hiking trail" path from a temple in Kyoto while alone, and kept walking on it thinking that it would eventually wrap back around to the temple. It didn't. I walked for over an hour and ended up in the suburbs. One of my peak memories.
Can't wait to go back again, probably next year. Just gotta plan it better next time.

Going to be staying at
Hokkaido, Sapporo, Chuo-ku,Minami 4-jo, Nishi 4-1-1, Japan in a room that should be viewing the ferris wheel

Do you wanna be big spoon or little spoon?
No.148099
>>148086Oh I stayed right next to that place at the REI hotel. Good location since you can walk everywhere you need to, even a nice Mandarake store across the road at the ferris wheel. Check out the big arcade nearby, mt. moiwa and the the bus to otaru is right next to the old clocktower building

>>148197> but does it actually have better scenery than places I could find in America if I looked?America is so big and ecologically diverse you could find beautiful views everywhere. I mean just look at all the national parks we have.
No.148795
>>148320Aye, there's wonderous vistas anywhere in God's creation if you look. Alaska and Montana has no shortage of them, and the North Dekota badlands are a one of a kind place. For Japan, they have a very unique ecology as their country is spread across a wide latitude. Take the Japanese beauty mindset to architecture and landscaping and combine it with a land of mountains and water and you've also got some incredible sights. As a tangentially related bit of trivia I vaguely remember hearing, their range of climates allows sake breweries to have a large variety as certain "tastes" can only be obtained in specific climates, due to temperature and atmosphere affecting the biochemistry of the fermentation.

>>148040i have been to Japan. i really enjoyed spending time in random cities in Tokyo, areas without tourists. simply experiencing the city like a normal Japanese person. the airBNB i had in Horikiri-Shobuen was so cute too.

Am there right now, last night.
Enjoyed Osaka the most, Tokyo is too dense and busy, like Istanbul.
Solo this time around.
No.149663
>>148197>Tokyo is way too dense for me with people everywhereThis is true in some places, but what has really surprised me the couple of times I've been is that it's entirely possible to find quiet streets and neighborhoods as little as 5 or 10 minutes walk from busy central Shibuya. I do agree that rural places are more interesting than cities, but both have something to offer depending on what you're into. You really do need a rental car for anything outside major cities unfortunately.
>>148800In my experience, travelling with other people is only good if you're of the same mindset. I have travelled alot since I was very young and found that with my mother and cousins they're very easygoing, but when travelling with family friends there's a sort of pressure to spend time together at the cost of seeing the things you're interested in; it's not really worth it. If you've watched or read Yurucamp, it's comparable to Rin's solo camping. You can go anywhere and do whatever you like without being beholden to anyone.

I've been a year ago, and I am currently thinking about going again.
How is the weather in September? Is it still death heat or are things already getting more moderate? Especially out in the Kanazawa/Nagano direction.

>>148040>What is your favourite place?Ikebukuro, only because of the cheap red bull I found on a drug store, the giant Animate(kinda jealous by just how much Animate seems to caters towards women) a book off and a small akiba-hobby store focused on touhou.
I need to go outside more.

I'm heading back soon and visiting Takamatsu, Suwa in Nagano for a touhou pilgrimage and Tokyo again, will post pics.

No.163313
>>163252>Didn't it used to be more 50-50 many years ago?I mean, I'm probably biased to think it might cater more to women. It's just that there was a whole floor focused on BL, a merchandise floor had a lot of anime boys and on the floor that had some cd, dvd and bd, quite a few of them were live-action of things I assume are popular with women.
Even on another way smaller animate that I used to visit, had these things. It's not like there weren't things like uma musume, fgo, nikke or stuff, it's just that the anime boys had a good chunk of a section for them.
>I wonder what happened to make them cater solely to women.Women must really like merchandise
