Picking up Japanese language studies again tomorrow after a multi-year hiatus. What’s the best dictionary/flash card/ bells and whistles app to download? I put batteries into my denki jisho (purchased circa 2001!) but its given up the ghost.

@AlfieJapanorama Now would be a good time for Admiral Perry and some black ships to rock up to Yokohama Bay!

@AlfieJapanorama I love coming across these abandoned sites. There’s a small ski resort on Mt Hiei, Kyōto, with boots and skis gathering dust in their shelves, unused Ramon bowls stacked in a hut that I could peer into. Poignent and fascinating.
