This was next to a shrine. It's the "Gonokami Maimaizu Well". I guess it was dug that way because they couldn't dig a vertical well at the time.

Should probably not stand in the middle of a level crossing. Miss the train and had to wait 15 minutes to get this shot too!

Having been on JNSForum for over a year I never clicked on this thread due to the title.  "How many stations could this guy have visited?"  Well about a month ago I clicked on a recent post by mistake as I was checking for new posts on the forums home page.

 

My God!!!!!  😲 This thread in insane!  🙃  Once I realize that it's not just about train stations but rather a journal of @kuro68000 adventures across Japan, I was immediately hooked.  I proceeded to start from Page 1, and it took me a few weeks to get to the end.  I felt like I have traveled all over Japan, with some places I recognized and have been to, plus I think I know where every single Hard Off is located in Japan.  🤣🤣🤣

 

As a fellow geek, those old PCs and electronic equipment were my childhood!  I started with an Ohio Scientific Challenger with 4K Ram and cassette drive for storage.  If memory serves me right, it was around the time of the Radio Shack TRS-80.  Also, a photographer hobbyist starting with film back in the 70's by borrowing my father's Fujica ST-701.  Went fully digital in 1999 with Nikon Coolpix 950.

 

Keep up the good work and now I look forward to future posts and pictures of yours.

I love Japanese houses so I'm going to try to build one.

oooh cool! if you could then generate 2d wall cut patterns we could start a new sankei biz!

 

many of the real estate companies selling new small homes have pdf print papercraft model of the home styles so you can make your own paper model if of your perspective house to fall in love with and sign that contract!

I have a Super Cassette Vision, but am looking for a good original Cassette Vision. Grabbed this game for it. The "cassette" here is what we would call a game cartridge, not an audio tape. The original Cassette Vision is a rare console and unemulated, because it doesn't have a CPU or ROMs for games. Each game is its own electronics, usually a single chip. Like the old machines that had Pong and half a dozen other sports that were all variations of bat and ball. It sold pretty well.

 

The Super Cassette Vision bombed in the market. It was more like what we think of as games consoles, with a CPU, but very under-powered.

Were you still after a Cassette Vision? 
 

 

HARD OFF Kanazawa Nonoichi, a game too: (edit: just realised it looks like its the same game haha!)
