Random photos of stations I have visited

What a pain photography used to be. Now I don't even need to unlock my phone, and just wave it in the general direction to make photos like these.

Tokorozawa.

Ochanomizu. This scaffolding appears to be permanent.

In the Tsukuba Express station at Akihabara. I love how everything is in "cat speak" where sentences end in "nyaa" (Japanese for meow).

In the first photo with 4 crabs the lead one is saying "let's go get eaten". Personally I can't eat anything with a face, like whole crabs, and having one tell me that kinda freaks me out a bit.

Toda station.

Even on active building sites the machines are kept immaculately clean.

Musashi-Urawa.

Minami-Urawa.

Saitama-Kamikocho. You can see how narrow the "pavement" is for pedestrians. Behind me is a bus stop so I have to wait here instead of crossing to the other side. It's a good job that the speed limit is low.

Saitama Shohoin. Google said walk around it, but I decided to go through.

The problem with MSX computers is that there were so many with unique features. I must try not to collect them.

Love this! Any more interesting advertising bits like this or store signs are golden for modeling!

 

glad you are back in japan and having fun. How’s your friend’s hotel doing?

 

thanks

Thanks. I like the ads too. JR did a series that were based on pulp manga where they re-use a lot of material so it looks kinda funny. I might have posted them, or I can dig them out...

 

Anyway, some from today...

Anyone know what this blue light is about?
