Thanks for your comments on my Osaka pic from the hills. I'll properly work on them on Lightroom once I go back, though it'll take a few weeks to process everything. Have another few featuring the Akashi bridge. Pic from the Cosmo Tower, which I mentionned in the previous thread. We were like 10 people in the observatory for the night, and it has an excellent view on the bay up to Kobe (in the rain in this pic). I highly recommend it.
>>2883969 Managed to catch the lightning, but I swear this bitch strom always made sure to lighten up the sky right in the 4-5 seconds interval where the previous long pause ended and I started the next one. Like, it happened ten times in a row, how is that even possible.
>>2883970 Then I decided to go the the bridge itself the next day, because why the hell not, I like bigass structures. Now in Tokyo for my last few days. I intended to go near Enoshima tomorrow to /p/ the Fuji in the twilight like everyone does (but from a lesser known observatory, I think). Though I probably won't have much luck. While the wheater will be quite acceptable, it looks like it will be part sunny/part cloudy. Fuji being the bitch she is, she somehow gets clouds even on a bright full day without a single cloud. So yeah, on a so-so day I fear it will end in a failure.
>>2884023 You don't. It's too different from english to learn quickly.

It's 5:20 in the morning, I'm in the Sobu line that goes to Kamakura and beyond, I thought I would be alone at this hour, yet the train is full and no sitting place left. What in the fuck.

>>2884023 I would just buy this. https://www.amazon.com/Lonely-Planet-Japanese-Phrasebook-Dictionary/dp/1787014665 That's what I used when I first traveled there. I think nowadays people use smartphones more. The Genki series of books are also what I got started with for serious study. Katakana and Hiragana aren't that hard to pick up.

>>2884062 My first Suica is coming up on the end of its 10 year valid period, but now when I get a new one it won't even have a penguin. Truly sadge, the end of an era.
>>2884073 I thought that 10 year period was for inactivity, and that suicas reset it every time you used them

>>2884089 The radio chips in physical cards need a battery to function, so they all have a 10 year validity period to get people to switch before the battery stops working and the card becomes useless.

>>2884090 I don't think that's true, it's just rfid right? >If a Suica card is not used for 10 years, it will become invalid. I think it's just so they don't have to manage old accounts, and can take the money that was nominally in escrow

>>2884095 You're right that the IC cards don't have a lifespan, it just needs to be used within the last 10 years to remain valid and within the last 6 months to stay unlocked. https://twitter.com/JREast_official/status/2033740214427070507 https://jreastfaq.jreast.co.jp/faq/show/1048?category_id=27&site_domain=default https://www.jreast.co.jp/suica/new_s/info_tenyears.html

>>2884089 >>2884095 Holy shit! Thanks bro for the good news. Ages ago I read it how the other guy did. But upon googling now you are right, its after last use. That's great, little pengin-san gets to stay with me a while longer.
>>2884100 >>2884103 I've visited Japan now 5 times since getting the card in 2017 and each time was longer than 6 months, but I've never had to do literally anything to start using it again upon return so not sure what this 'unlocked' is either.
>>2883966(OP) Spontaneously, in less than 24 hours I'm suddenly going to be in Japan for a week. Landing in Tokyo. What is there to be done or see in the country within this time frame? In Tokyo I'll go to the weeb district, then at some point I'll check out the Nara park by Osaka. Aside from that, not really sure. Open for anything.
The two things you listed are all you'll have time for in a single week

>>2884353 The ryokan owner asked me if I like onsen musume, then she showed me the extremely popular special guest room. All merchandises are from the fans and the room costs about $100/night 2 meals included.
>>2884361 I know Sendai is not an onsen town, but they have many ryokans within its city limit and I stayed in one.

Pls r8 or h8 my plan for a day: >visit Zojoji temple in the early morning (1h) >go to teamlabs in Mori building (2hs) >head all the way to Nakano Broadway to shop and gaze for around 3 hours Then spend the rest of the day in Kabukicho to eat at Omoide Yokocho alley, explore the rest of the district, and finally have some drinks at Golden Gai.
Is it a solid plan or is my day too crammed?
I don't really feel like doing anything else in Minato outside of teamlabs and the temple. And I'm particularly interested in buying my tickets for the museum now that my chosen date is open for reservations. I don't plan to return to Kabukicho outside of maybe a cheeky trip to WARP nightclub. But I could move a trip to Nakano for another time. Naturally, I'm a turbo geek, turbo nerd and turbo weeb so I expect to sperg out a ton there.

>>2883966(OP) Otaru was overrated hot garbage, at least for me. It's infested with chinks and the canal was underwhelming. There were lots of souvenir shops around the area, and they're overpriced as fuck, but the glass workshops are cool I guess. Although I was really happy that I could see some pink sakura trees around mid May, so it was kinda worth it.
