Hello everyone. I take photos while hiking and exploring in Japan, and play video games. I write about them and post photos to my website.

@Sosowski Wasn't there an option a while ago to hide it? Did they remove it?

This elderly hamster is 5 years old the equivalent of 175 human years.
The tiny survivor has amazed the internet with its long life and adorable spirit. Experts say hamsters rarely live past 3, making this little one a true miracle of love and care.

Deep in the central mountains of Japan is the ruins of a failed resort development project. This restaurant was only opened once before the whole thing went backrupt.

A while ago, I reviewed some of the hot springs of Hida in central Japan for a JET newsletter. I think all these places are still open today.

A few years ago, some friends and I went on a tour of the Imperial Palace in Tokyo. The tour was cut short due to heat, but I could see the places that were on my list.

The Wajima Kiriko Art Museum in central northern Japan has many of its festival floats on display year round. Unfortunately, it has yet to open from the earthquake 2 years ago.

@kaiserpauli Oh thanks :)

I tried taking more photos in a couple other posts. I recently broke my GB Camera though, so these photography days are probably done.

Visiting an old temple not far from Takayama in the Japanese mountains. It is hidden from the main road by a forest and a mountain, so it's mostly been forgotten.

About a month ago, I went to visit an abandoned hotel in a resort town in central Japan. The town was still suffering from earthquake damage from two years ago.

It's a bit crowded, but you can play some retro video games at the Hida Takayama Retro Museum. I plan on going back here in the next month to make a better post about it.

I want to find more places like this. Old hollowed out office buildings from the 80s and 90s, or basements of churches or rec centers.

An 89-year-old man was reportedly causing trouble at a famous cherry blossom viewing spot in Japan. When a woman tried to warn him, he bit her.
Police arrested him. As they were driving him away, he stopped talking. He was confirmed dead at a hospital.

More photos of Cherry Blossom trees from around Takayama. These are from years ago, but they should begin blooming this year in the next week.

The Oni Cliff is a rock face along the Pacific Ocean shaped like an Oni. A castle was built on the hill which people thought was full of Oni, so they stayed away from it.
