I don't know, my Japanese friends seem particularly close with their families. They try to distance themselves from their parents. Most live with their parents during college (those who come here on exchange) and commute to school. Their mothers usually cook their meals for them. One friend had a younger sister she was sort of close with but they fight like siblings do often. My best friend and her older brother seem sort of close too, she goes on trips with him. But it just seems similar to the life style here in Canada of middle class families too (except it's funny to me that they're surprised dads cook here).

Their at the age where they're coming into adulthood and want to distance themselves from being seen as a child by their parents. Or something like that. They're trying to build an identity of their own.

Wowww Arren, this is fantastic - looks like you're having an amazing time! Do you plan to visit the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka at some point?

What would people like to see next? Since I don't know what anyone thought of the last few sets, it seems like it might be a good idea to ask instead of just posting. I have photos from a festival in Nara where a mountain was set alight, and also from my trip to Sapporo. I'll be uploading others soon as well.

I like all the pictures you've posted. The temples and gardens and people, especially events where people dress in traditional costume. The one above with the girls and boys all in their amazingly coloured kimono was really neat.
Its so nice to see the real versions of so many things I'm familar with but animated in 2D.
Some ordinary street scenes would be interesting, particularly ordinary people's homes. Or perhaps those lifting barrier railway crossings so beloved of anime directors

I'm afraid I'm not really near the water! In a straight line the coast isn't so far away, but actually getting there is another matter. I might check out the port area in Osaka or Kobe at some point though, so I can take pictures then.
As for Saddles's request, I don't have much in the way of everyday photos, but here's a few that I have found.
One day after it snowed:
A busy sort-of-indoor shopping street:
Houses in a suburban area:
Next I'll post pictures from Sapporo, and then maybe a few from that festival in Nara.

if its dependent on a city then something like saga.

About 850USD, give or take. I've no idea about Saga, as I had to look it up to even find out where it is. 85,000 yen isn't bad for a month, but any big trips would break the budget. I live in a dorm so I can't tell you how far that would go for rent, but my friend who has a place in Sapporo pays very little per month, so maybe I'm overestimating.

I like that 3rd photo. Japanese homes seem to sit on very small plots, or rather they build a house that almost fills the plot and leave only timy strips of garden at the front, rear and sides. With 2 storey structures that close I imagine Japanese houses can be quite dark inside, especially at ground level.

Yeah, I think a lot of houses are like that, especially in the likes of Kyoto where everything is very compact and pushed together. It's different where my dorm is though, as it's somewhat on the outskirts.
saviour - my rent is 45,000 yen, which includes bills, my own toilet and fridge, and the various things that come with being in a dorm. I get 80,000 yen a month as a scholarship, which might cover me if I were more frugal and didn't go on serious trips. As it is, I'm glad that I also get around 75,000 a month in student loan. Altogether it's more than I need.

Thanks husky! My friend who's studying at Hokkaido University said that there are signs up telling people not to cross the stream there, but he's seen people doing it anyway. I don't think I'd want to even when there isn't snow though...
