Hiking in Hakkouda
The deep blue Towada Lake
Fed by the Oirase River
Mount Osore is a temple and miniature wasteland with interesting volcanic features
- Setting for Tsuritama and Taritari
And and all of these ruins: http://www.michaeljohngrist.com/ruins-gallery/
- A long bridge to the end of the world (search danbooru for that piece of K-On art)
Tsunoshima apparently
- Way out on the south-western tip of Honshu, you'd do it on the way to Tanegashima
- Fukushima
http://www.dannychoo.com/post/en/26585/Fukushima+Exclusion+Zone+Photos.html
- Dosimeters may be a good idea
Haikyo - http://www.kirainet.com/english/vault-of-an-investment-bank-that-went-bankrupt-in-1997/
This guy does a lot of them too: http://abandonedkansai.wordpress.com/special-nara-dreamland/#
Gyoza if we visit Sendai: http://tabelog.com/miyagi/A0401/A040101/4002355/dtlrvwlst/3607143/
Akihabara Beer Fair at A-Button, 11/23 to 12/2
Dammit, that's too early!
- Go visit Dear Stage sometime, probably with Blitz in tow as well
That New Type bar in the same building as Cos-Cha and Little BSD
An 18 hour ferry trip between Sapporo and Tokyo comes not recommended
Accepted
Destinations
- Robotics;Notes OP shows a space launch from Tanegashima Space Centre - might be something worth visiting?
Robotics;Notes OP on youtube
An HII-A Launch vehicle is shown, F17 (flight 17) specifically
- F17 was a "202" configuration - 2 stages, 0 Liquid Rocket Boosters, 2 Solid Rocket Boosters
Tanegashima Space Center on wikipedia
Rough location on google maps of the space museum
EN homepage: http://www.jaxa.jp/visit/tanegashima/index_e.html
- Unclear whether launches are viewable or not
- Tanegashima is a small island near Kagoshima, off the far south-west end of the main island of Japan
- Not crazy-far like Okinawa, more like 50km from the mainland
Yakushima is worth linking up with Tanegashima
- Aokigahara - the "suicide forest" near Mt Fuji
Other
Yanaka Ginza, a proper shoutengai
Go see Eva: http://ticket.evangelion.co.jp/cinemalist.html
Tokyo-eki light show, 21st to 28th: http://nlab.itmedia.co.jp/nl/articles/1209/24/news103.html
Bars
- Sakanaya (さかなや), a sake place in Ikebukuro. Billboard has the name on in hiragana
Nishi-Ikebukuro 1-35-8, http://goo.gl/maps/1oDz
- Alex: "it is my absolute favourite place but their english is about as good as that of a kitten. The boss man knows my name so if you say Mr. Sayle (or Mr. Alex for that matter) sent you, you may get away with murder."
This book has a glowing review
- HUB in Shinjuku, a chain, the Japanese version of an Irish pub
- Alex: "the ones in Shinjyuku tend to speak english. They'll seat you like a japanese place and have bar maids which are friendly"
Here's one, nominally the JR Shinjuku Minamiguchi branch: http://www.pub-hub.com/shop/minamiguchi/
Heaven's Door Bar in Shimokitazawa, run by a British expat, location here, closes at 26:00 every day
Craftheads in Shibuya, looks like a beer and bourbon bar, closed on Mondays
