Nice and / or interesting photos of Japan.
(For interesting but odd photos of Japan, see Odd Stuff).
One of the "classic" Shinkansen trains, at Fukuyama Station in 2002. Apparently this sort has now disappeared from Japan's railway network, having been replaced by the latest generation of hideously ugly but highly efficient "N700" trains.
A coin laundry (laundromat) in a seedy area of Osaka. Through the other side of the door, on the other side of the alley, can just be seen a room full of coin-operated lockers: very common in the more salubrious areas of urban Japan, where they're used by day labourers and homeless people for short-term storage.
A Shinkansen train passing through Maibara Station (between Nagoya and Kyoto) at high speed. Taken in 2002.
A splash of colour in Kyoto's main station building. 2002.
Rooftops in Hikone, a castle town in Shiga Prefecture not far from Kyoto.
Hikone Castle (彦根城) in Shiga Prefecture is one of the few truly original castles in Japan.
