Seldom-used back staircases of Japanese shopping centres with menacing auras part 1/n.

Shout out to the moon for being in just the right spot alongside Kochi castle this morning.

I'm in a traditional Japanese coffee place waiting for the onsen to open and it's such a joy. Every coffee is served with a hard boiled egg and a slice of thick milk bread with a bit of strawberry jam. Customers ticket books hanging by the till and the coffee is being brewed using a siphon. #kissa

Netflix and Krill

The castle is pretty good too. But, even better than that, I caught sight on my way up to it of an Eagle Owl hunting a black kite which was terrifically exciting. Those are some big birds. Bigger than big, they’re large.

Got to see these amazing photographs in the tower of Uwajima castle today. They’re by Yugi Hamada and constructed entirely of shadows using RGB filters and stacked exposures which are then illuminated from below on the floor of castle. So good. They looked like they’d landed from another planet.

高知の夜

New insult just dropped (xxtra hard)

A rainy morning in Beppu.

I’m leaving Ehime prefecture today bound for Kōchi. The glorious sunshine has given way to rain and grey skies so I’m grateful to be sitting on the bus for the next few hours. #四国

Kyoto is insane. I’m going to have to escape tomorrow. It’s like being in Venice in the summer.

I realise I’m part of the problem, by the way. And I don’t blame anyone for wanting to come here. There’s just too many people here.

I might die on this bus. It’s stopping everywhere. In fact it just stopped somewhere which didn’t seem to be anywhere at all.

I was having an imagined conversation this morning in which I was stopped by the police who asked what I was doing here and I had no good answer and so I went to jail.

I hate this.
