As I'm sure some of you know, I just got back from my 14 day trip to Japan and China. I figured some people may be interested in what I got up to so I created this thread to share some of the images I took during the trip.

China
Hong Kong - Before actually reaching Japan, I had a three day lay over in Hong Kong.

Spoiler

Japan
Shinjuku - This is where we stayed for most of the trip. Tokyo is huge.

Spoiler

Harujuku - The trendy area of Tokyo where all the teenagers hang out, nestled in with some temples.

Spoiler

Akihabara - Affectionately known as Akiba or Electric Town, this is what otaku's have wet dreams about. Understandably this was my favourite place in Tokyo.

Spoiler

Mt Fuji - A picture I took of Mt Fuji on-board the Nozomi Super Express. I really like this photo, I think the poll in the foreground really gives an essence of speed. The Nozomi does operate at 300 KMH (186 MPH) afterall.

Spoiler

Iconography wanted me to take a video of the Nozomi, so here she is.

Kyoto - Kyoto is quite possibly the prettiest city I have ever been to. The autumn colours look fantastic.

Spoiler

Japan was a lot of fun and looking back, I wish I had taken more photographs.

Oh... also...

Fufufufu~

 

Dibs on the giant Nico figure if you ever "grow out" of it. As in never.

Looks absolutely beautiful. 

So, how many trannies did you get? lol

Sure. I'll charge you double what I paid for it, plus shipping on top! :D

I ended up with 12 figurines (3 nendoroids, 9 regular figures) and 7 or so anime T-Shirts. Plus a poster of my favourite anime show. They're all girls by the way. I checked.

Wow man, great photos! The ones taken in Kyoto are particularly breathtaking. I have to experience Japan one day.

Thank you! :)
Kyoto is absolutely beautiful. The traditional buildings mixed in with the multitude of temples and shrines is fantastic. I was lucky enough to experience the autumn colours as winter in Japan was running late this year. I'm sure it'd look gorgeous in spring with all the cherry blossoms. Maybe one day.

A few more pictures, including a ryokan (a traditional Japanese wooden house) where I stayed in Kyoto. Futons are not comfortable to sleep on.

This is really nice, thanks for sharing! :D

beautiful pictures :3

Looks nice!

 

Not going to comment on that last pic....

Even though I don't understand the Japan-anime-girl stuff hype (or fanboy/-girlhood if that is even a word Still better than bronies ), it looks like it was a nice trip. But gosh, these trains look weird.

We can show you the ways.

So freaking lucky.

Those are some amazing pictures. 

More pictures of various things! Highlights include Godzilla attacking Shinjuku, the absolute wacky Robot Restaurant, the Golden Temple in Kyoto and the Tokyo Tower! Oh and more μ's because I, and apparently all of Akiba, love them.
