Yakuza 0 and Shenmue.
Fpbp
It's a damn shame Shenmue 3 had such a limited budget and we probably won't get a 4th game. Oh and the anime got cancelled too.
>that subtle panty shot
very nice japan
Why it looks like only Yu Suzuki had some nostalgia about the time of Japanese economic bubble? I didn't see any jap game that tried so hard to capture the vibe of those good times, yakuza is ridiculously shallow in comparison
Yakuza 0 is all about the 80's boom, the frick are you even talking about.
Did you play it? It's a lame asset flip of their current game with minor changes. Even mafia 3 has authentic playboy collectibles when yakuza just uses some bawds they hired
Oppenheimer
what's the meme behind that shit?
back in the 30s and 40s a guy named robert made a bomb specifically designed to kill japs. its been 80 years and its been use many times, but has only ever killed japs in its usage, showing its preference for the orient
Yeah but everyone is overusing that information/joke now for some reason like it's a newly released secret
>Eat burger
>Fricking explode
Bravo Nolan.
explosive diarrhea
>rice cooker keychain
>my le bomb
>le killed people?
this summer.......
>THIS IS HOW WE BLEW IT
There's a movie called Oppenheimer about the making of the atomic bomb coming out
The Japanese call it "Oohyaku", it's a concept that means building an oversized rice cooker
>Construct all of your buildings of flimsy wood and paper
Did these Black folk learn absolutely NOTHING from the fire bombings?
>detroit and hiroshima comparison after the bombs and now.7zip
You could say exactly the same about Americans and Europeans about immigrants and Black folk
>the 3rd world mutt is confused by wood houses that last centuries because he lived in ugly tiny concrete boxes his whole life
My country literally rules the world motherfricker.
Are you chinese?
>world jannies taking pride in being responsible for this shithole
lol
>My country literally rules the world motherfricker.
Gamer if you think (you) are part of the class that rules the world, you're sorely mistaken. What kind of middle-school zero-sum bullshit are you huffing anyway to think that having tons of guns and bombs and loud, goose-stepping soldiers means you're nation is good? I'm 32 years old, I don't want bombs. I want a good house, a clean city and an income that allows me to do the things I want to do. If that means I need to live in a country that has the 16th largest military in the world as opposed to the 1st, then so be it.
israel?
I wish shtipokawa was real
You can plant a sakura tree almost anywhere m8
Most of them don't last centuries so no.
Most of these wodden traditional houses are fairly recent, literally forced soul.
and that's a good thing
There is not a single building there that is older than 30 years. It's a tourist town with recreations of older buildings. That's the irony. Big deal for Americans, obviously, but there is toilet plumbing in Hungary older than these houses.
america still builds their shit out of cardboard and then acts shocked when tornados wipe towns off the face of the earth
japs have always been building this way because it makes reassembly simple since they were already getting crushed by giant waves, earthquakes, typhoons, and of course good old fashion soldiers marching through your village and burning your house and getting you mom, wife, sisters and daughters pregnant and leaving you impaled on a bamboo spike
This. Japan is dying and an influx of BWC is needed to fix and modernize the country into European standards. The men should all be castrated and thrown in a ditch so that the bleaching goes uninterrupted
>construct all of your buildings out of CARDBOARD instead of concrete
Did this Black folk learn absolutely nothing about giving guns to everyone?
yes, they learned not to get firebombed again
Rapelay.
Best Map to get a 20 kill streak
as a broke otaku neet, how can i achieve my dream of living comfortably in nihon land?
Coma probably
bro i'm serious
i hate college and don't like teaching
I am also being serious; a coma is your best bet.
Marry a Japanese girl and get a visa that way then. Any kind of work visa would be hard without a bachelor at least.
My moonrune level is not good enough to woo a jap girl.
Fightan games are hard as frick but i do dream of doing youtube or stream for living tho.
Yes I did tell you I'm a neet, didn't I? Trying to figure out the best route that is suitable for my situation rightnow you know.
You might as well telling me to die
Maybe stop being a useless frick then
So perish, loser. Or just marry an overweight white/latin woman in your 30s like everyone else who has lived your life
>if you are a neet, you deserve to die
I bet most of you 4chinner are neet yourself, at least i'm trying to figure out way to pursue my dream. Go frick yourself doomer
You are pathetic scum, lowest of the low. You're not trying to make any actual progress, you're doing the absolute bare minimum and using that tiny drip-feed of dopamine to blind yourself as to just how fricking hopeless your existence really is.
>tiny drip-feed of dopamine
he called someone pathetic lmfao
Just throw yourself off a bridge and isekai yourself, your harem is waiting for you.
Won't work, he needs truck-kun to get the genuine isekai experience.
That or death from sheer overwork, which is even more unlikely.
>death from sheer overwork
Great idea.
OP start organizing and tagging your 20 TB of oppai e-girl porn non-stop.
>Trying to figure out the best route that is suitable for my situation rightnow you know.
are you blind? they already told you moron
Just die, try canadian health care, or intervening in a crime.
Do you personally benefit from it or just live vicariously through war crimes and abuses while you're being surrounded by Black folk and fentanyl addicts?
Are you a fat, round mestizo midget or more of a Suave Pachuco/Vaquero type of guy?

Oh right, you don't speak Japanese you worthless waste of space.
Go back or preferrably killyourself.
So which country are you really from, anon?
Also your fake Japansese is terrible.
put forward some level of effort into fixing any of these problems you stupid frick. At least learn japanese for frick's sake
thinking seriously about yourself, would japan be better off in any way if they chose to let you in? if the answer's no, why do you assume they'd ever be willing to have you?
But I hate women
So you don't know the language, don't have a degree or any skills to speak of, "hate" college (Japanese people are very serious about education), and on top of that, don't even want to teach. Kojima hire this man.
>how can i achieve my dream without doing any work or doing anything i'm uncomfortable with at all
Coma
Get a degree, start teaching English.
Interesting suggestion for that Anon. What if I had frick you levels of money? I’ve also noticed most courses over there say that after you study in Japan you have to leave right after and MEXT is practically designed to frick you over in the long run.
You can get a visa just by being insanely rich so yeah go ahead
how rich is insanely rich?
Quarter mil at the bare minimum.
もう終わりだ
哀れな
Almost every country in the world will give you a residency permit if you start a business there with 1mil in capital and employ locals. You could literally just start a small grocery store and hire 3 people and that's enough.
how long would you say, it would take someone to get a english degree, what are the outlets to getting shipped to Japan with an English degree
nta and I'm not going to answer that directly, but:
>you don't need an English or education degree, it helps but any degree will do
>what's important is you have a degree and are willing to teach kids
>you will most likely be assigned to some rural school, not the big cities
>your main job isn't really to teach the English language, but to be a cultural ambassador of sorts
>sharing your foreign experiences, perspectives, etc. with the kids through the excuse of an English lesson
>google it if you're still interested, look for official programs
this is all secondhand info, take it with a tub of salt.
>it helps but any degree will do
Even GED?
Dunno, can't comment since that wasn't much of a thing when I was in school.
Check the requirements of the programs, maybe they're stricter than I thought, maybe not.
Think it needs to be a bachelor for JET. No idea what GED is though.
>JET
JET is super competitive, but even if you fail there's a bunch of black companies like Interac and AEON that'll take nearly anyone with a degree, but you'll have to not mind working 45 hours a week for 29 hours pay and getting screamed at by your boss who's allowed to use you as a punching bag for as long as you want to keep your visa.
Oof
Glad I never had to do the english monkey shit
What if I have certificates in English from Cambridge? I sound like an american too. Can I go over there now?
SMT
Become a professional fighting game player and get sponsorship
Comfortably?
You don't.
If you just want to live there, then either become an English teacher or become a software engineer.
English teacher takes less time.
Software Engineer works too but requires you to have actual experience working in places like America, so they can take american talent, and pay them a quarter of what you could make as a software engineer in America while requiring little to no Japanese. But still make more than what a shitty engilsh teacher would make in Japan.
I'm making 6 figures dod contracting in atsugi in cyber security. Easy mode in Japan making triple their average salary lmao

Please don't further ruin japan by moving there. Stay in your home country and take a vacation in japan instead.
Yes libs are moving there to ruin japan because it is "the icon of the right wing" but you moving there wouldn't male it any better.
It's weird how leftists have turned into the cult-like missionaries hellbent on changing the Japs. The worrying part is that they're backed by corpos and banks
Who are you, Japanese customs office?
He's right though.
I'll be happy if they don't let anyone in, including me, if that includes not letting Black folk and sandBlack folk in.
Then you won't be happy, loser
mexican
Japan's customs will filter most foreigners who aren't rich or fit migrant workers anyway.
1. No matter what kind of experience you had in your country of origin, you'll have to start at the bottom of the ladder if you go there for work, and the initial pay is peanuts.
2. The japs are also a rather stiff bunch too and hates people that stands out too much, if you're a loud sperg that likes to dress in anime shirts, they're going to give you dirty looks.
3. Their country doesn't accommodate fat people well either, so you better lose weight if you want to get the most out of their facilities
4. Their justice system is rather fricky too, especially if you're a foreigner. If you get accused of a crime that you're innocent of it, you're going to have a rough time trying to prove it
5. They tend to complain about the smell of foreigners A LOT. I don't know how but whites and blacks apparently tend to give off a unique odor to them that they can't stand
Source: I made that up
Those are actual accounts from people living in Japan, both foreigners and actual Japs.
>I watched a few outrage clickbait youtube videos, I happen to be an exper on the country
lmao
I'm so fricking sick of doom posting, especially because I've lived here a few years. 99% of foreigners are whiney b***hes and love negativity despite 99% of the moments you have in Japan being completely pleasant. You may encounter one or two things that really offend you in your entire time living here. Meanwhile back in burgertown you'll have rowdy nogs yelling at you all day and people fighting over roadrage constantly.
I swear, the west has some obsession with being negative whiney homosexuals on social media and this extends to whats popular on YouTube. I wish fewer gaijin came here just because of that. If you're a western gay that whines nonstop please just don't come. If you're a levelheaded person and pleasant please do come.

All those videos boil down to "don't act like a fricking moron and respect their laws and culture"
When I went to Japan, I immediately knew where to stand in line when needed and which side of the escalator to take or that answering my phone in a public transport was rude.
Don't like it, don't visit.

Pokemon 1-4 obviously
Total War Shogun series sort of
I spent 2 years in japan. I can easily say that rural japan is as beautiful as it looks in animu.
Looks soulless.

Worked at an international company and stayed after all the other gaijin at left cause of the tsunami and my pay double overnight. Only reason I left a few years ago was cause I got married and had a kid and I now make double that working for the same company back home. Felt good at the time but you still make absolute shit there. Better off working at McDonald’s here in the states.
did you marry a cutie JP girl?
Story time?
I just gave you a story. I hate Korea because I have kids now and
>People smoking on every street corner
>Air is disgustingly polluted
>Food safety standards are nonexistent and people live shoulder-to-shoulder
>Old people spit on everything, everywhere, because their lungs are filled with mucuous from smoking
>Have to walk everywhere or deal with terrible drivers
>Working there is its own separate hell I won't even go into and this is all despite me speaking fluent Korean
I could go on and on. It's a terrible place to live if you actually have children and want a stable life.
Now, if you're some 20 year old college kid with no family or responsibilities, have at it. It's party city. But otherwise I prefer my American suburbs.
Imagine thinking Korea is anything close to Japan.
I've literally never been to Japan so I assumed it's a slightly cleaner version of Korea but I don't know.
Lived 3 years in Japan, spent a total of 2 months in Korea over three trips while I was living next door. They've always felt pretty different to me. Korea feels like a less prosperous Japan without the unifying "we're all in this together" 和 energy.
Korea has a "we're all suffering together" energy, hence the constant drinking.
I'll help you out.
1. Maybe this was common 20-30 years ago, but smoking is slowly on the way out and they try to put public smokers in gas chambers.
2. Clean and beautiful air, though I lived in the country so I'm biased. Tokyo was still fine.
3. Very high food standards though people do live shoulder-to-shoulder, even out in the sticks
4. Spitting is unheard of. If a child ever spit there would be hell to pay from their parents/teachers.
5. God forbid you have to walk somewhere! Many transportation options nevertheless
6. Most jobs in Japan are pretty bad to some degree so you have to really want it. Hard work and long hours.
Bonus: I lived in China. The way you describe Korea reminds me of it and that doesn't surprise me.
Korea basically has the feel of a Chinese knock-off of modern Japan.
Yeah that sounds about right for Korea. I had no idea Japan was like that though. It does sound a lot nicer.
Japanese hallyuaboos confuse the frick out of me.

Yes

I feel Korea is closer to China than it is to Japan, culturally at least.
I've traveled to Korea before and its literally an extremely discount version of Japan, boring modernized soulless shit hole
Korea = japan

Nah man I unironically love "small" Japanese "towns." Something really nice about having this kind of density even in the fricking sticks. Lots of places to uncover. And almost every one still has wonderful food and drink.
You never lived in a small Japanese town you save some shit in a picture on the internet and think that’s everything. Most small towns are run down and filthy and the amenities are 3rd world tier.
Why bother talking shit about things you don't know? What's the point? Is this some sort of jealousy thing, or were you upset it wasn't like your animus?
Hard disagree.
where are the subtitles
This. There's a reason these little towns are literally dying.
The stereotypical Westerner going to Japan thinks Japan is just like anime. It would be one thing if they were 10 years old, but it's people in their 20s. They should know better. How socially unaware do you have to be to think that.
>There's a reason these little towns are literally dying
same reason little cities dry up everywhere. young people have to go where jobs are.
Japanese urbanization looks so boring and depressing.
It's almost like a cleaner version of depressing eastern european towns.
Why is so boring and lifeless ? Is this during the pandemic or something ?
It's the most rapidly depopulating city in Japan way before the pandemic.
What city?
weebs will unironically post a photo of a dead mall in Japan and call it paradise
That’s a dead mall???
Anon there are plenty of cool places in Japan both urban and rural but this specific picture is dead american strip mall tier I can only fathom you think is cool through weeb lens.

Yeah but seriously how much money can they possibly be making? Not enough for a living. It's a sidehustle that beats DoorDashing, but it's no more than that.

Oh hey, I remember that comic. It was pretty cute
The jap is right
Wheat is the west's staple food just like rice is asian's staple food, it's normal to expect a westerner to eat a lot of bread
The jap is still stuck in his rural peasants mindset where some dirt peasants only had rice to eat so they overhyped it to the extreme.
Western diet was more diverse much sooner.

I've lived in Asia for a decade, speak the language fluently. I'm still going to be given a fork when everybody else is given chopsticks unless I make a big song and dance about speaking the language in every restaurant I enter.
You get used to it.

i've completely lost track of how bad things actually are outside of Japan

growing older is just realizing that everything sucks and life is miserable
Why does Japan suck right now for you, exactly? Because shit is dark and getting darker in the global West.
food sucks
economy is shit (salaries are less than half of the western world, prices are like 2-4x as much)
clasutrophobia
doing anything like going to post office, getting a package delivered, dentist, doctor, literally anything is like crawling through glass because there are always problems and they dont know what to do or how to do anything well
they have a fetish for phones (why use email which anyone can convenient read and reply at anytime when you make both parties stop everything they are doing to listen to an obachann mumble through her mask and coughs in ancient japanese, local dialect, and keigo all mixed in)
women are borderline psychopaths
time difference makes keeping up with anyone back home a pain in the ass
oh youre a foreigner frick no you cant finance this furniture or appliance
the question of *why* makes japs shudder with a cold chil in the middle of the night, making them suddenly rise up in a cold sweat RULE DAKARA RULE DAKARA NEVER ASK ME ABOUT REASONS GAIJIN
Agree with some of these points hard, others aren't the same for me. Either way though, it kinda sounds like you're worn the frick out more than anything.
>economy is shit (salaries are less than half of the western world, prices are like 2-4x as much)
Hate to break it to you but if you're planning on returning to the US or the UK you've got a whole nother thing coming. Tokyo is the exception not the rule for cost, and compare it to any city anywhere close to it like New York and you'll come out ahead in Tokyo. And if you're compare this to bumfrick Ohio good luck landing a job that pays twice without having to live somewhere that eats it up. You can, but you can also find not shit jobs in Tokyo as well.
If you are somehow magically outside of Tokyo T O P L E L
>If you are somehow magically outside of Tokyo T O P L E L
Why not, if I ever were to live in Japan I would want to master the most rural of dialects out there for the toppest of keks.
>doing anything like going to post office, getting a package delivered, dentist, doctor, literally anything is like crawling through glass because there are always problems and they dont know what to do or how to do anything well
someone I know have been living there and one of his major complaints was this,
if there is anything to do like trying to get papers from the municipal office or something, it can be a pain in the ass becase japs are OBSESSED with following pre-set procedures like flowcharts for everything and if something throws them off from that then they are lost
lived in japan 12 years here
100% agree with this and its why i ultimately left
even something as simple as a bank transfer in japan is 2 hours of fricking around in a bank
In my experience in USA, everything I'd the same besides the foreigner temper tantrum shit. I've always consistently had to be on post offices, dentists, doctors, etc backs because nobody can schedule shit anymore, or forget things and your appointment gets lost easily. Things can take either a few weeks up to a few months, and there's 50 thousand corpos all working as middle men so you can't just ask your local hospital for anything. Gotta go to a seperate building, then go somewhere else that specializes in it, then go to another place to qualify for medicine, then go somewhere else to actually get the medicine.
All that with all the fricking Black folk, and you get braindead morons who don't even know how to read off their shitty scripts or reply to emails at all. In the industry, shit is slowed down to a crawl because nobody takes their jobs seriously, so tons and tons of places are behind and they know they can't grt fired because of how understaffed everyone is.
Women are even more psychopathic here, and the use of email is nonexistent if you need to use anything seriously, nobody responds to emails and if you ever want to make progress, you have to fricking call like 50 fricking times.
I think the world in its entirety just sucks balls dude, dunno if its a jap only issue. Food sucks here too its all too salty or too sweet and its all fricking corn. At least in Japan there aren't many Black folk (for now, until the obsession with immigration makes things worse like it has everywhere else)
>food sucks
objectively Japan has one if not the best cuisine in the world
>muh economy
standards of living are stable while they decline in the west. I guess the line on a graph isn't going up, should they import a gorillion africans?
>women are borderline psychopaths
That's just women everywhere
The rest is valid.
I'm at year 3 but I never went through the everything sucks phase.
>salaries are less than half of the western world, prices are like 2-4x as much
First is true, but housing is cheap as frick here. Restaurants are too, though raw produce is not. Solution is to live near a 業務スーパー and exclusively buy seasonal veggies.
Also I like the food, but I'm only 3 years in.
The rest yeah fair enough.

i wish i lived in a cute small rural japanese town and i had a cute japanese wife and we would own a little comfy farm and on hot summer nights we wouldd drink together and go walking in the countryside along the road lined with rice farms and little bus stops and shit and we'd laugh and have fun
instead im drinking alone in my room and in despiar because i have to go back to being a wageslave in two days time
its all so hopeless
My gf is from a town like that. It's nice but also pretty scary that you can never just be anonymous. The first time I visited I borrowed the bike her brother used back in high school to go around a bit and the random old people there would recognize his bike from a distance, immediately realize which household it belongs to and ask me if I'd married the daughter.

Anyone with problems with japan is doing it wrong.
Japan is absurdly pretty, Japanese women are hot and cute and have the same fetish for tall guys every other woman has, and Japanese culture is one of the most interesting and fun to interact with on earth, but living in japan means a ton of sacrifices no one wants to make. Do what I do. Got a Japanese degree, got a job IN AMERICA working at Nintendo as a bilingual liaison with the Japanese branch, and go on frequent business and pleasure trips to japan while fluent in the language, and then return HOME to AMERICA where I have a big house and car and barely pay taxes and can own guns where I live with my HOT JAPANESE WIFE I brought back with me I really cannot stress this enough, did not LEAVE IN JAPAN. I get to pick and choose exactly what parts of my lifestyle are american or Japanese at will and have never been happier. If I could do anything to improve my situation it would be a portal in my closet to Kyoto so I don’t need to ride on a plane every two months but otherwise this seems like far and away the best way to enjoy japan.

almost every teen has this "japan great" phase

Lived here 5 years and it's way better than burgerland. If only for not having to deal with Americans loud and rude attitude bullshit and lack of crime. I've never given a shit about fitting in because I didn't back in the US either. That'd be the only negative being a foreigner but if you get past that it's kino
You'll grow up once you realize Japan is like a watered down SEA and China. It's basically the perfect "I want to experience Asia without the soul and always be in the safety net".
I mean there's nothing wrong with that, most don't go beyond.
China is the opposite of soul. SEA is just Mexico with Asians btw

What are some good coping mechanisms for this sort of feeling, fellow anons?
Go find the equivalent in your area and make a day of it. The reality is that it's a couple of streets of mostly fake houses in front of a hill. See if you can find something better.
Honestly, the big thing that hurts me is the nature and topography places in Japan have. I love mountains, forests and rivers (flowing water in general really) but I live in the middle of the prairie so there really isn't much I can do to get that same feeling.
Kenshi has been doing it for me. Walking through these massive alien landscapes as some aimless rando wondering how everything fell apart. Then looking further up to see the other moon and main celestial body further questioning if there is anything on them. And to top it all off there is a skybox that isn't polluted with light so you can see the galaxy and stars. You look out the window in a city and all you see is depression.
Swim across the Pacific Ocean to asiaticland and forcibly live there without a visa or documentation. The Japs are only five foot nothing and weigh 100lbs soaking wet, they cannot stop you. You will become a permanent resident on the streets and all they'll be able to do is shout YABAI at you and try to arrest you with their gay little sticks.

Japan was genuinely one of the most fun and pleasant trips I've ever been on, out of all the places I've been to. I can't tell if I'm partly deluded by how much I enjoyed it, the friends I made, and my personal experiences with it, but I want to live there now. I'm looking into moving and finding a job there or remotely that I can perform, within a couple of years. Everything about where I visited felt and was better than where I am now, I made friends in days when I've been unable to make friends in years here.
you didn't make any "friends"l lmoa, they were just being nice because it's their culture, none of them give a shit about you

degenerate japan 'gamers' where we at?
I work at a japanese game company and a few of my colleagues are into pachinko. That shit is truly degenerate. Forming little pachinko groups where they'll lick eachothers' wounds after losing money by treating the biggest losers to midnight ramen. It'd be comfy if it wasn't such a real waste of money and life.
we have similiar problems with pokie machines in aus
they make billions a year
the trick is to only go on anniversary days or weird holidays like the upcoming 7/7 so that nearly every machine pays out
if you're going all the time you're going to lose.
it is an enormous waste of time because of how long it takes to get payouts because of weird laws/regulations though
Japan is great, but only if you're a tourist who knows the language.
Or an expat working for a completely western company with a Japanese branch.
I'm not a tourist, I don't speak the local language, I don't work for a western company and I'm happy.
How can you work without knowing the language?

Being nationalistic for another mans country is odd.
Why did Monster Hunter Rise turn out so shit?
Persona 3, 4 and 5
Take it you’ve never been. There’s nothing like japanese small towns.
I just arrived in Japan and during the flight I was sat next to a young woman and her 60+yo looking slightly tubby Japanese salaryman husband. wtf, it wasn't just memes?
I refuse to participate in American culture after spending a month in japan. I don't even fricking watch anime or play Japanese games. Holy shit landing in LAX after flying out of haneda was an eye opener. This is dystopian bro. I miss Kanezawa
Had the exact same experience while waiting for my connecting flight. Absolutely miserable.
Let's hope they hold on for as long as possible. The corruption spreads.
I know what you mean, there's a reverse culture shock no one told me about coming back to the states. The two times I went to Japan just for vacation, before living here, I landed at Newark NJ airport and the second trip back in D.C. Dulles airport and holy fricking shit.
It's always insane going from a quiet and polite culture to Americans being extremely loud and fricking rude 24/7. American culture is fricking dogshit. The xenophobic shit that people b***h about has not affected me once living here 5+ years and I am so glad to be done.
I think the most comfy place in Japan is Takayama and Shirakawa-go. I live in western Kanagawa right now so its like an hour from Tokyo, 2 hours from Fuji, and 3 hours from Nagoya so it kinda sucks I'm far away from shit but live here is so comfy. I wish I could visit gifu easily on the weekends 🙁
Are you sure you're not exaggerating?
No. Anyone that's reasonable that has actually been to Japan for a period of time and comes back to the USA will immediately notice how loud and extremely rude Americans are in general. It's something that I was so used to in 30 years of living in burgerland that I never noticed it as out of the ordinary but was like whiplash coming back. My first two days back from JP I witnessed someone trying to fight a TSA agent, a guy blaring rap music in the airport waiting area, and a McDonalds worker throwing a bag at me without saying anything. Among other things.
Very difficult for actual Japanese friends and there's a huge language barrier. If you learn the language eventually you can find some people that don't "fit in" to the larger Japanese culture that can be your buddies for life but they're hard to find. Most people are friends with other foreigners.
Honestly you might find a spouse like a lot of people do that live here permanently and that should be your best friend. That's easier to do than back in the U.S. from my experience even.
I work for a DoD contractor. Info sec, making about 15M yen a year equivalent. Thinking of buying a house since you can finance them at insanely low interest rates and I feel fricking rich with this salary here.
>spouce
western weeb spouce or local japanese ? It'd kind of suck to completely friendless but thanks for the info man, appreciate it.
Local Japanese spouse. A lot of the guys I'm friends with found their wives locally. Just be careful of the psychopath Jap women that just want foreigner looking babies and stuff. I will suggest you learn Japanese as much as possible, otherwise a local relationship is going to be much more difficult but many Japanese in the Tokyo area can speak good English so you have a good chance if you live there.
yeah I'm planning on starting to learn it, english isn't even my first language so I'm used to it and know how hard it can be/up for the challenge
so making lasting friendships is possiible ? you work for a local company ?
I'm trying to gtfo out of muttland and find japanese "leave alone and be left alone" life extremely appealing
I went to kanagawa for a day trip. Went to enoshima. Was such a soulful and wonderful day. I ate one of those curry bun things with the little fish and had a bit of a freak out. A hawk swooped down and knocked it out of my hands. Walking back from Enoshima some street racers were getting chased from the docks on Enoshima by police cruisers. Loved it.
Damn my picture got fricked up. I actually wanted to go here because of Shin Godzilla, Kanagawa actually has a lot of cool shit. The local tram is really cute too. Another hawk fricked me up here
I got some good pics of Kamikochi a month and a half ago

Mirror's Edge is the only game that feels like walking in Tokyo
Bro I had that EXACT FEELING. I was literally listening the The Shard while walking around one day.
Takayama was nice. I went during the festival in April. It was actually kind of me as far as festivals go but I learned more about it by visiting their museum. I think it's a merchant town that was famous for their fire brigades. The floats represent3d the merchant guilds. I ended up getting lost wandering the back alleys and had a great time. All the shrines were quiet and emptied out because everyone was on the festival road. Met a nice older in a jumpsuit who let me feed these massive koi he was tending.
My favorite place in Japan is actually probably Uji, the river is max comfy with the matcha strip next to it
Next time I go I'm going to rent a car. There were so many places I saw while riding the shinkansen I would have loved to drive to. The bus routes were convenient but I probably averaged 15 miles a day walking around up and downhill. Not used to such changes in elevation in Florida. I was definitely feeling it by day 25. I'd just use the car to go to cities off the main lines though. Walking around is how you get to see all the cool shit you'd normally miss driving.
damn
I like finland more.
For any Higurashi fans I got a ton of good pictures last month of Shirakawa too

What kind of person enters a thread he has no interest in just to talk shit? I feel sorry for people like that. I wouldn't waste my effort on things that don't interest me. Sad existence.
I thought Nikko was going to be a tourist trap but it was one of my favorite memories. Spent two days here at an airbnb, really enjoyed it. The festival was amazing and all the stalls at Toshigi had great food. Never had takoyaki before.
How are AirBNBs in Japan? I've always stayed in just hotels when I travel outside where I live
I only stayed at one. It was a traditional family style house ran by an older couple. It's pictured on the left here. It was about $35 a night and came with complimentary breakfast. It was quaint and authentic, don't really know how else to describe it. The hosts were lovely and wanted to take a picture with me when I left, and sent me off with a handmade charm and origami.
Did you have sex with the wife?
no, japanese wives arent remotly close to being american. therefore they actually appretiate and genuinally love their husbands.
lmao, is that why the infidelity rate in japan is so crazy?
>why yes i believe japanese women are just like in my favorite anime and manga, how did you know?

Japan is just a copy of China.
The only difference is that Japan was colonized by the west two times, one in 1845, then in 1945. Thats why they "look like" us.
If you like Japan, you should like china too.
Weak bait.
You conveniently left out the part that China was "colonized" by communism.
People liked Japan over China far before that. Communism didn't help, but it wasn't the primary reason.
Why cant I like both? I would love to visit one day. I couldn't and japan was the first to open when i could afford it. I'll probably go next year. I would love to learn about Chinese culture.
I'm nostalgic for the trains in tokyo. I never thought I'd miss public transportation. It was like a little breather after running around all day
Same tbh.
I didn't care about trains much and they work just fine in my country, but after being on a high speed train and visiting the railway museum in Tokyo, I get it.
>I didn't care about trains much and they work just fine in my country, but after being on a high speed train and visiting the railway museum in Tokyo, I get it.
you fell for their maxed out marketing skill tree.
That and the adherence to a time table, which not always happens with trains in my country.
I guess what tipped it over for me was after taking a bus to some Fuji mountain observation deck and walking for like an hour in some towns to that Chureito Pagoda placeI needed to get back to the bus stop.
The only station was in a nearby town and I honestly didn't expect any trains anytime soon because the station was absolutely empty, but lo and behold, right on time, just as google said, one arrived.
pic related.
Public transports are on schedule, what's strange and incredible about that? What third world country do you live in?
>Public transports are on schedule, what's strange and incredible about that?
Have you ever been on a public transport? They are never, ever 100% on time.
😐
I used public transport for 6 years to finish my bachelor degree
it was a mix of half-Japan half-Vietnam system, and both are excellent. I could sleep soundly on both routes and no one would bother me.
Except the Japan system had automated announcer, and the bus driver would announce over the speaker at every stop, which was a negative point for me (for some it might be a positive).
>half-Japan half-Vietnam system
>half-Japan
Maybe that's why it's normal for you
anon
it was two separate routes, one route from the main city to a nearby province (Vietnam route) and once I reach the province, I take the Japanese route to travel around the inner city. They are two separate entities.
The Vietnam route was on time, every time. While the Japanese route would be around 3-4 minutes late (occasionally - didn't affect me much). Don't get blinded by "Thing-Japan", sure, enjoy it, but you praising Japan incessantly for something that even my poor country can do is just strange.
>What third world country do you live
I lived in Sydney for 20 years and the trains were a running joke. "Planned trackwork" every other week that was not planned. Garbage.
I visited the one in kyoto. There were toddlers everywhere but it was cute as frick. Every hour they had a model train exhibit with a huge track with little shinkansens going around and hype music playing. Kids fricking love trains. I get it too

>Then to Koyasan, spending 2 nights in one of the monasteries, gain enlightenment, visit the graveyard, just relax and enjoy the views
>Followed by Osaka for 3 nights, eating like a pig, shopping, hanging out with the skaters near Amerikacho
>Back to Tokyo for the last 3 nights, staying near Akihabara, shopping mostly.
I have a couple of things marked out and obviously won't get to all of them, but having anything I can pop in and see would be cool: https://www.google.com/maps/d/edit?mid=1LUBPlRpGqhjeRt-6gfVv9zBWx1rU-mI&usp=sharing
4 nights in Kyoto is a lot. There isn't as much to see as you'd think
You've seen one temple, you've seen them all.
Cool, was thinking of a day trip out of Kyoto. I just think Kyoto is beautiful to look at so that many days would be decent.
Mostly nightlife and skating. Osaka has a rad skateboarding scene and some parks I want to check out: https://youtu.be/Hbm6HVg-W7k
But that might be another place where we do a day trip, maybe Kobe.
osaka fricks you're gonna love it
>Osaka
why? I lived there for years, and will never for the life of me understand how it ends up on tourists itineraries
ez daytrips to Himeji and Nara
>Still maskcucked
I'll wait a few years
this is bait according to fact checkers
my quantum bait detector is going off its chart
me and my team of scientists have come to the conclusion that this is bait
please have sex with me
You probably already know this but the station mall in Osaka is pretty dope. Osaka is cool as frick. Cooler and more "real" than Tokyo. When I stayed there I took a day trip to Koyasan, I feel like one night max is enough to get your fill. I'd spend one less night in kyoto since you can knock out a lot of shrines in two days as they're pretty small and when i went there were an insane amoumt of tourists. Take a day trip to Nara. It's close by and the deer are pretty fun. Huge shrine too, look at this shit it's like a video game
Make sure to visit Uji inbetween Kyoto and Nara, on your way to Nara or whatever. It's amazing. Check the matcha strip.
Is this north of Yamashina station? It looks like it.

Nah I still see the Macedonia one
it's true, I'm too poor to travel to japan but because I barely work at all, I love my comfy almost-neet-lifestyle too much.
>move to obscure small town that no one knows about but is still amazing
>it's starting to get really popular
>gaijin keep showing up now
AHHHHHHHHHGHHGGGGGGGGG
it's almost as if they're actively working to increase the amount of foreign workers in the country or something huh
oh no david-kun, you're no longer a novelty! you better find a dancing monkey job in another small town so you can feel special again!
I'll never leave here but I still hate foreigners (including myself but I'm me so I allow my own existence)
I love going to small towns in japan, and finding the local english teaching loser, and absolutely ruining his day by making conversation with him and just generally existing around him. it's the small things in life.
Dammit Ryan, stop ruining my life
It's always the scrawny white guy in a sweater and khakis.
Based. Making fun of losers in Japan sounds like a good time. Asia is the #1 spot for Western losers and South America is probably #2. Not every Westerner is a loser, but it attracts so many, that it's highly likely they're a loser.
You remind me of those people who film tourist videos of themselves complaining about tourists.
Honest question, if some nip boomer told you to get the frick back to your own country, would you agree (but not really because you wouldn't leave) or tell him to frick off, or do the beta shuffle
First one. Call me hypocritical, but it just be like it do.
I see, I appreciate the honesty
Beta shuffle for me. I'm selfish and want the place to myself. Plus I'm more respectful and quiet than 99% of foreigners here
I would pull out a Wakizashi and start to disembowel myself asking him to be my Kaishaku.
If he can't do it then he's less Japanese than me and should either step up or shut the frick up.
>>Land in Tokyo, stay first 2 night in Shinjuku
Stay away from Roppongi and Shibuya as its filled with homosexuals, Black folk and insufferable foreigners who I don't think are sapient, they just exist, and consume
>I go to china for opium addiction and footbinding, maybe warlords and cannibalsm, commies ruined culture once again
Uh bro aren't you a
Nakkatsugawa soon
God I want to punch myself in the face reading that. I also refer to westerners coming in to my city as foreigners and wish they would stop coming. Wow I'm a fricking tool and so are you.
Buy a house in the middle of nowhere if you don't want to see other foreigners.
>Travel Osaka, Kyoto, Gifu, Hakone, Tokyo for two weeks last year
>Returning this November for three weeks to South Korea, Japan Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Beppu, Kagoshima, Hiroshima, and Osaka

Japanese women are traditional in the sense that as long as you have money they will love you. They're far more feminine than western women but you can't really be friends with your wife. Which is okay I guess but also kind of lonely
grim but I guess that's woman for you
Western women aren't all that different. They just require you to be more chadlike and dominant. It's a societal wide shit test.
This tbh.
You keep hearing about all these women b***hing about their shitty relationships, yet somehow they still stay.
Like it's unbelievable sometimes, the amount of control the guy can exert on some dumb b***h.
This is why I'll never have a wife. I want a person that can think for themselves but is also level headed and reasonable. I'm convinced women can't have both.
maybe this is ironic but if not you sound like an actual incel which is really pathetic
I'm 32 and never had sex. It's western women's fault.
have you tried rape?
It's funny that the biggest Western losers in Asia aren't the racist ones, it's the one's that want to simp for their wife to an absurd degree. The racist guys, while buttholes, are dominant enough to not cause their wives and gfs to lose interest. The weird spergy westerns who want an irl waifu pillow end up single.
*ones
Being a sexless loser is universal.
It also shows that some of those guys are just there for easy pussy. They could easily behave like that here and do well enough with women.
>They could easily behave like that here and do well enough with women.
I think the mindset they've got is that the women they can snag in Japan are significantly more attractive than the women they could snag in America, which isn't a delusional mindset because the American women in their bracket are probably very fat.
Yeah, women on tiktok is not the reality. Especially when I lived in Florida, women are built like fricking linebackers unless you're in Miami, then they all have disgusting brazilian butt lifts. It's super obvious and grotesque. Meanwhile in japan women are petite, dress modestly (even if 99% of it is overpriced designer shit) and don't shit test you CONSTANTLY. they're still fake as hell but at least they have shame
Hey! I went there! Crazy to see it photographed like this. Took a 2 month trip not too long ago, I was walking the nakasendo from magome chome and didn't realize the next train stop was like 12 hours haha.
Pretty sure this is the town with the retired rock star in it, he makes old clothing now which had like weird kabuki stuff on it and was dope as frick. Was also made the same way fire fighters had their clothes in the edo period, and was fire and water moronant.
Good times man, pic related is a photo from that walk of a shrine along the way. The way japanese forest just creep in on everything is incredible, nothing like my home country. Theres a peaceful serenity surrounding the whole wilderness in japan, really miss it now that I'm home, its just so fantastic.
>The reason people ogle Japan is because it's the last civilized place on Earth that doesn't fill the people living there with the subconscious dread that they're not going to become a minority in their own country within the next 100 years.
There. That's the reason. You don't need to wonder why anymore. Westerners idolize Japan for the same reason they idolize Alpine villages or secluded Italian neighborhoods or other suspiciously picturesque, parochial locations. Because there aren't any Black folk, Muslims or israelites out to get you. The existential dread is not there.
Japan is going to get memed by the mass importation of expat weeaboos who ironically overtime will deteroriate the values of Japan they simp for in a "Frick you got mine" loop if they park their ass there for the rest of their life. If they were honest about it it'd be one thing
This, westerners are importing western values in japan ( ie homosexualry Black folk feminism etc) same shit is happening here we were forced some time ago to legalize abortion because some mutt b***h threatened to sue the state because they refused her the abortion. Remember blm protests? we had them here too and guess what it was all foreigners and some random illegal immigrants.
>place, Japan
>doesn't have Mt. Fuji in the background
If he put anything Japanese in the picture it would look better than the non-Japanese version, so he can't

>be a moronic american
>want to plan a vacation
>the most amount of time I can take off is a week (or 5 days + the neighboring weekends)
>anywhere I go I basically have to rush any vacation plans
>end up not getting that much out of it because I'm just bouncing from location to location and not able to take any of it in
This is why I haven't taken a fricking vacation in over 6 years.
Jesus frick what jobs do you guys have? I get 5 weeks a year working as a DoD contractor in IT
I get plenty of vacation time but I literally don't have a back up. So vacations end up being stressful to me as I know once I get back I will have to pull a 60-80 hour work week.
>back up
>will have to work 60h week
wait, so do you get vacation days or not? I don't wanna turn it into euro flex shit flinging battle, but i'm curious at this point. The way I understand it is that you get vacation days, but then you have to work them back? Or do you get vacation days, but then, for example, you don't get separate sick days, and you're concerned than in case of getting sick, you won't have free days to spare?
Every american company is different, but most have Paid Time Off with mixed sick days.
So as an example, I build up PTO over the year for a total of 4 weeks (20 days) and I have 5 sick days. I carry over 5 days of PTO going into the year, but will lose the remaining 15 days and my sick days if I don't use them.
The problem I'm saying is I literally don't have a backup for my work. So if I take any vacation, upon my return is just a fricking mountain of shit I have to deal with. So normally what I do is just take every other Friday off throughout the year to take a break. Big vacations are kind of impossible for me.
IT security, but it's very generic for a mid sized company so I end up wearing a lot of hats.
Bro I work in info sec and work 2 hours a week getting paid 6 figures. You should jump off to risk assessment stuff for DoD. It's glacial but it pays well and has a stupid amount of time off
what do you do for work? sounds like hell
it's difficult but you just got to resist the urge to be efficient and just stick to one place the whole time.
I would probably kill myself to be tbh. If I had to work a 9-5 it would be over for me. I'm a nurse which is kind of a shitty job but I just take contract work for 16 weeks, work 3 days a week, then blow my pay overseas and live for cheaper for a month or two
>mfw work as a Lyft Driver
>mfw make 50k/yr
>mfw work maybe 2 hours a day, more if I feel like it, less if I'm out of it
No Shekelberg breathing down my neck. No cubicles, no obligations. Most of my clientele are Black folk, but the thing about Black folk is that they're pretty subdued when they're in a Lyft since they know they can't cause shit. Most of them are pretty fun to talk to, anyway. God, the stories I could tell! Maybe I'll use this job to springboard into being a fisherman. I've always loved the sea.
I bet you have some stories. That's part of what makes my job tolerable, the people you get as patients are pretty wild sometimes but it definitely keeps it interesting. And I can just frick off whenever I want because no one wants to work this shit job, especially other men
My brother in law works with a similar company the amount of people who rob him (Almost always Black folk or sand Black folk or poojeets btw) is staggering then there's the drunk mudslimes who vomit in his car then run away instead of paying the fine.
Yakuza
Persona 4
Muramasa
Nioh (it's mostly an action game first and foremost but it has some enviroments here and there and the OST is great)
Sekiro, although mostly for Fountainhead Palace. It's a somewhat drab game otherwise
>6 weeks of vacation time a year
sounds so fricking grim
humans are not meant to live like this
i wish i had a job
AND GAY MEN
AND MAAAAINGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>this entire thread
frick, all of you guys are actually fricking pathetic holy shit lmfao, Had a good laugh thanks thread.
There is literally nothing special about Japan that you cant find in your local countryside
