It’s #caturday!

#tokyo

I got a PS5 for this game (Ghost of Yotei). It has a feel that’s very reminiscent of classic samurai or period movies from Japan.

It’s soon time for seasonal illumination festivals again

#tokyo #illumination

I wish I’d stayed an additional day, as I underestimated Den Gamle By (The Old Town)

My first proper trip to Denmark with Aarhus: three museums (Aros, Occupation Museum, Den Game By) and plenty of great food #denmark

I love consoles, I love #capsuletoys, so I had to get this set from #epoch and write a review of this seven-piece set: jaapan.de/epoch-capsul...

Just a plushie cat, enjoying the evening in #matsushima

SS30 in #Sendai, which has a free observatory - it’s a popular dating spot. The #observatory deck is open until 11pm, which is good because I had an overnight bus to Tokyo and not many options to spend time.

…and I didn’t originally plan visiting it. I kept adjusting my trip as I traveled around

World’s smallest park in #Nagaizumi, Shizuoka prefecture, Japan. The parking lot for the park is much bigger 😉

Tsurugaoka Hachimangu in Kamakura, around 5pm in December.

I did not expect the Tohoku History Museum in Tagajo, Japan to be as big as it is. It messed up my travel schedule - in a good way! #japantravel #tagajo

Closing all my research browser tabs after finishing an article always feels so satisfying (yes, I know about tab groups 😉)

Nippon Connection film festival with a penguin!

Sakurazaka in Ota City, Tokyo. There are many #sakura places like this in Tokyo and not all of them are super crowded. #tokyo #cherryblossom

It’s so easy to just book a karaoke room in Japan. This was in Kamata, payed around 2300 Yen, soft drinks included. #karaoke #tokyo

I’ve created this little shrine for the characters of movie anti-piracy campaign in #japan. I watched more than 100 films in Japanese cinemas. Each film is preceded with an anti-piracy ad.

Watched Solitary Gourmet (孤独のグルメ) and SHOWTIME7 in Shibuya. I think I should write about #japanesemovie 😂

The political burgers of #yokosuka. I’ll pass on all of those, including the ridiculous 7th Fleet Burger 😂

Joined the #vegan meetup #tokyo for lunch at vegan chain T’s Restaurant in Jiyugaoka. Nice people, nice food!

Lanterns set up in Yokohama (and some in Tokyo) for #lunarnewyear and a digital stamp rally #japan

Cat bookstore in #tokyo. Maybe I should translate my planned #cat book into Japanese 😅

Bin ich froh mich für ein Air entschieden zu haben 😉

I went to character cafe #Nekohanten in #Shibuya Parco. It was not bad - you get a coaster with your order and some dishes look interesting. It’s based on manga/anime #Ranma 1/2.

I visited this arcade (Zarigani) in Osaka two weeks ago. While it didn’t leave a good impression, it’s sad to see so many arcade classics gone in a fire 😢

青い盆栽！

Sailor Moon walk in #Tokyo. I wish they’d give the Outer Senshi the same treatment #sailormoon

Japanese band Penguin Research had to move their tour to 2025. I won’t be there to see them, but their tour shirt is awesome #jrock #tour

One way in #japan to entice locals and tourists to explore different places: artistic manhole covers and manhole card collectibles.
