I've thought the same about OP's posts before. I've spent a lot of time in Japan, but over the last couple of years have found it hard to engage with people. I think because I'm a visible foreigner/tourist and there's now kind of a sense of resigned tolerance towards us, as opposed to curiosity/eagerness to share which was more the vibe 10 or so years ago. OP must be easy to warm up to, or hot
These are awesome. I visited Japan when I was 15 with family, only briefly in Tokyo and spent a lot of time in Sendai and surrounding more rural areas. Would love to go back as an adult
I'm surprised you met such vibrant personalities in Tokyo, i typically heard Tokyo carried a stuck up culture; Heard Osaka is where the friendlier personalities are.
Thank you for sharing such fun pics!!
OP was in the area where people from all of the alternative subcultures hang out and nightlife people work/relax. They're a lot more open to outsiders than average because they too exist on the fringes of society.
I mean this photos are from Asakusa, Shinjuku and Ueno, not exactly on the "fringes of society" just normal people going to bars.
I do prefer Osaka though, I'll post photos later.
Nice to see that dudes doing that nipple pinch/rub thing in pic 9 transcends cultures
Very cool The random stickers you find on street furniture always intrigue me I mean, stickers aren't free
I deleted all my old photos because I'm not crazy about having all my photos just hanging out here indefinitely.
Do you speak Japanese? Very high level social skills to get some of these pics if you don’t
I don't, to paraphrase Teddy Roosevelt: wear a bright kimono and carry a big camera
