P1300374
– Proudly Gundam! Sadly, a stupid tourist placed a water bottle in the hedges.
P1300375
– Gundam Seed Freedom & Gundam Unicorn.

I genuinely enjoyed Gundam SEED, Destiny, and especially the movie. The movie was great, and I view it all in high regard. Sadly, fake people shall destroy everything, trashing on everything they can, forcing everything to be be lesser than what it originally was. People can’t admire anything, hence the hate and constant disrespect.

Gundam: The Witch from Mercury was awesome on its own regards, sadly Far-Left political lunatics had to destroy that series into political trash. I initially cried at the nostalgia tied to the Gundam Statue in Yokohama, and when Gundam Mercury’s theme played. I sadly can’t have that moment because radicalized Far-Left terrorists ruin everything they touch, especially forcing Bandai-Namco to pretend their mental illness is validated. You don’t go around sexually assaulting little children, and you shouldn’t abuse the Japanese to pander to your poor up bringing.

I admire everything on its own merits, if sadly tainted by spoiled, bratty, and pathetic Far-Left lunatics turning everything into sexual assault, sexual child violations, and their own mental illness. Japan is bliss, the Woke Western world isn’t.

P1300376
– The back of Gundam Unicorn.
P1300377
– One of the best areas in Tokyo, especially for its various walking areas. Lovely gardens, trees, walkways, etc. Far better than what I would consider Ottawa (Canada) to be.
P1300378
– DiverCity Tokyo.
P1300379

P1300403
– Kiyomizu Kannon-d? Temple (Ueno).
P1300409
– A lovely, peaceful, nightly stroll in Ueno Park.

I had the most lovely walk I ever had in years, especially away from the retardation, and idiocy of the residence of Ottawa, Canada. Japan was highly peaceful, especially Ueno, with how serene everything was. It genuinely felt highly peaceful in Ueno I wish I had a prolonged stay in such an area.

Away from people who brazenly eat bananas, cherries, apples, ice cream cones, or even husk corn in retail store settings in Ottawa. Away from drug addicts, crackheads, and dark-skinned rapists. Away from white-skinned ‘Karens’, and away from who refuse to follow common curtesy gestures. Japan was bliss, especially on the first day I had arrived there.

Japan, the land of Common Sense. Granted, Japan has its own share of ‘Karens’, abusers, and such, just not in the scale I’m exposed to in Ottawa, and in Canada. Japan was genuinely bliss. I admired my strolls, my escapism, my attachments to Anime, and the various trains I hopped on. Not documented here is how I visited a location in Tokyo – Senzoku Station. I genuinely admired the off-beat path I traveled. Heavenly.


January 28th, 2024:

Visiting Enoshima for the various attractions in the area. I traveled in from Ofuna Station to travel via the elevated monorail train. Quite a neat exprience! It allowed me to see a very beautiful, if shy, Mount Fuji in all her glory. Sadly, the clouds came rolling in forcing me to enjoy the Enoshima Aquarium instead, among other areas. I still enjoyed the Aquarium regardless of the cloud condition. Was on my ‘to-do’ list prior to my visit.

P1300410
– Mount Fuji, prior to being obscured by clouds, as viewed from Shonan-Enoshima Station. Next to Enoshima Station.
P1300413
– Enoshima Island.
P1300414

February 1st, 2024:

Roaming around Hakodate, especially for this very scenic view. I came to Hakodate mainly for a split-land view, something I had initially seen via Japanese social media. For Microsoft Flight Sim 2020 vibes, and for an Anime called ‘Hokkaido Gals Are Super Cute’ Manga & Anime. Hakodate has everything going for it.

P1300415
– A lovely, if overcast view of the area. JS Shiranui can be seen in the center-right of the image.
P1300416
P1300417
– Various freighters parked outside of the harbour. Snowy conditions, near sunset.
P1300418
– Snowy, if beautiful. Strongly reminds me of various freighters parked outside of Vancouver’s harbour area. Lovely view.
P1300419
– Beautiful Hakodate from the observatory.

P1300424
P1300425
P1300426
– Airport on the upper-right side of the coast-line, ropeway on the bottom right, and Hakodate on the rest of the image.
P1300427
– Hakodate allowed me to have a real winter in Japan, something I was unable to have in Ottawa over various reasonings. Too mild, potential climate manipulation (cloud seeding), etc. Japan was awesome, and I thank Hakodate for providing a real winter. A lovely moody sunset can also be seen behind the clouds.
P1300428
– The area became stupidly over-populated preventing people from taking proper images. I was forced to either wait, or improvise. I have a ‘V’ shaped nightly view of Hakodate.
P1300430
– Disgusting. Far too many people doing far too many stupid things. This area either needs to either, A) Allow less tourist bus people, or B) Expand the platform for more people to take images of Hakodate.

I hated tourism in this place to the core of my bones. Similar to how the cold was beginning to freeze me to the core, so was the anger with how “over-tourism” fouled my mood in Hakodate.

P1300431
– L-Shaped lights held up on a tripod stick.
P1300439
– The one, or two best images I could obtain from Hakodate. I was genuinely angry with the “over-tourism” of the area.
P1300447
– A warmer perspective of Hakodate.
P1300449
P1300450

Hakodate was fun, and I genuinely admired Hakodate. I simply wish it wasn’t overflowing with tourists in buses destroying the whole point of the observatory. I was even freezing to the core. My jacket gradually became useless in the cold climate up that mountain.

Hakodate was a genuinely magical experience.


February 3rd, 2024:

The main objective of my trip was to visit Sapporo’s Winter Snow Festival, something I finally managed to do. Miku, Hello Kitty, Gundam Seed Destiny, Blue Archive, and other fun attractions. It was a genuinely rewarding experience, one I admired highly.

P1300451
– Snow Miku 2024! Sapporo Winter Festival.
P1300454
– Hello Kitty – 50th Anniversary. Also sharing for my Vancouver friend’s girl admiring Hello Kitty. Nice!
P1300456
– 1st Anniversary to Sapporo’s first baseball team! (Es Con Field Hokkaido)
P1300458
– Sapporo railway network, and Sapporo Station.
P1300460
P1300461
– Neuschwanstein Castle – Bavarian Castle.
– Sapporo is twinned with a German city, also showing excitement towards each, and any fun German influences. (Swan Castle).

Side-Note: I feel split in emotion both knowing both good and bad German people. A few good ones being Red51, a game-maker for Rising World, and X-Shunin, an Anime friend from Germany. I met the latter in a game called Phantasy Star Online 2 after wondering if they were an NPC or not. We hung out for a bit from then onwards. On and off manner.

As for the bad ones? The rest of the Rising World forum community members are as vile as they can be, even spewing actual 100% hatred and bigotry, such hatred and bigotry they always attempt to pin such vile behaviours of theirs onto myself. They over-protect Rising World to a fault, especially on a political Far-Left leaning point of view. I’ve always had issues with German people aligned with Far-Left Liberal political idiocies, even to the point they’ve attempted to be brutally aggressive with it. Kicking me out of their Unofficial Discord group (peer pressure), harassing me on main and Steam forums, self-sabotaging themselves in modding, as well as allowing actual pedophile-behaviour go unexcused, as had been done by same morally corrupted girl simply visiting the Rising World community over abusive desires. Posting about me on Reddit. Abusive behaviour is tolerated by Far-Left leaning Germans, and those who admire Rising World from other nations [Mexico, USA, etc…]. I’m noting this because I wish I could befriend actual real-world human beings, especially from the German nationality.

As with the Dutch, German people are vile creatures to me, but only if they align themselves on the Far-Left scale on the political measurements. If they believe in fake “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion’ (DEI) then they’re as fake as the silicon breasts. I’ve always had issues with people (now with Germans) who lean Far-Left. Other real-world Germans noted how corrupt their news outlets are, hence the cause for Germans being more vile, aggressive, and vindictive. If someone calls you a Nazi then you can be 100% certain they’re a useful idiot, and a brainless moron in this world. I’ve attempted to share Azur Lane’s Iron Blood German faction, was viewed as an insulting gesture. Far-Left Germans only care about violating little children, not the beauty of Japanese-Chinese artistic designs.

[View Azur Lane’s German Iron Blood faction here via a Wiki.]

I feel bad for each, and any Japan local who has to deal with politically, morally corrupted Germans. I have to constantly deal with their stupid antics. Japan was a blessing, an escapism, and I had to note this as a side note attached to the ‘Swan Lake’ sculpture. If you’re either Dutch or German then do note I shall be highly wary, and on my guard against Far-Left minded lunatics. They sabotage everything they touch, especially in regards over false inclusion, fake diversity, and abusive practices. They’ll label people ‘Racist’, ‘transphobe’, and other Far-Left buzzwords because that’s all they have. They do not live in reality. They’ve (the Far-Left; LGBTQ folks & Far-Left Germans) been known to violate children, especially babies, to the point they had to have reconstructive surgery. Especially babies. Headlines in Germany always note of female and child sexual violations. Some of what I’ll source may not be from Germany, the Far-Left Germans however firmly support it to the point they’re willing to blow up private property over their false, perverted ideals.

[Don’t believe me? Here – (1), (2), (3), (4), (5), (6), (7), (8), (9), (10).]

[Japan is angry with Far-Left Westerners: [Here].]

That grim side-note aside, back to the Japan and it’s proper escapism! A lovely, chill, snowy night in Sapporo. Properly, expertly crafted sculptures of varying types. I wish I could befriend uncorrupted, normal German friends, especially ones not shy about connecting with their German history, even in the slightest. I wish I could observe more occasions of Germans accepting of their past, especially once having proudly played ‘Silent Hunter 3’, a game about German U-Boats roaming the seas sinking convoys, a game released back in 2006. We need more true, natural, and proud Germans. Actual honest Germans.

I still have this bookmarked thanks to how I was actively harassed, bullied, and mistreated in a German gaming community.

  • DDOS You.
  • Hack your accounts.
  • SWAT You
  • Phone in bomb threats.
  • Plant +18 CP in forums & servers and report you.
  • Dox You.
  • Put bounties on your head
  • Go after your families.
  • Fake death threats for themselves.
  • Paint you as an “ist” and go after your career, jobs, etc.
  • Assault you in public.
  • Ban you from cons.
  • Claim you are the one doing all of this when it’s actually them.

If they can abuse you, they shall. They’re not shy about it, hence why I had to make this side-note here noting my high levels of concern, wariness, and worry over Germany’s mental health issue. It’s suffering a great amount, far too much to the point we’ve lost the general pride and joy of those admiring Silent Hunter 3 games, any German games, or anything normal in general. Be highly wary of Germany. It’s awesome I was able to see an artistic Swan Castle in Sapporo, and how Sapporo twins itself, it’s also sad how disingenuous Germans can be. Shame. Japan also admired Germany highly, makin this all the sadder.

Sapporo & Hokkaido’s national pride and joy! Respectfully, happily represents the Sapporo & Hokkaido culture. I had my fun. Was a great visit admiring every sculpture.


February 5th, 2024:

Ascended to the top of Mount Moiwa via the ropeway to gain a lovely view of Sapporo from up above. A lovely, if chilly day, evening, and then night. I also attempted to obtain an ink stamp, I was unable to acquire one. Disappointed. The visuals were amazing. The atmosphere, the views, and everything about it. I felt as if I was in heaven.

Sapporo is a beautiful place.

A lovely visit at Fukuoka while admiring Fukuoka Tower. Beautiful!

P1300511
P1300512
– I can see as to why Fukuoka Tower is a beautiful sight in Anime. Gorgeous.
P1300513
P1300514
– Had a nice walk from Fukuoka tower to the remains of Fukuoka’s Castle Ruins. A nice relaxing walk from there, to the castle. Japan is a very walkable city, and I admire it for that.
P1300516
– The Valentines Day theme frustrated me, I however admired my night in Fukuoka. I felt overly safe, the safest I’ve ever felt. I could go anywhere I desired, and I admired that fact fully. Japan is mostly safe, and I admire that reality. I even ate at the Fukuoka Castle Ruins. Safety for the win!
P1300517
– Fukuoka may be rough in vibe, it however made up for it in every other aspect. I admire the area. Bliss.

February 17th, 2024:

Having fun in Yokosuka for one last time. Visiting the area for Azur Lane’s Valentines Day Festival gaining a lovely perspective from both a KanColle and Azur Lane point of view. Japanese being proud of what they truly admire, in their own niche area, just as much as I am admiring the beauty of Japan’s military and navy. Izumo focus.

P1300518
P1300519
– Admiring the reflection on the water.
P1300521
– As rough as Yokosuka feels, it’s gorgeous. Verny park is awesome, Yokosuka itself is awesome, even if it has that roughed up navy-military vibe to it. As with Kure, the navy’s presence effected the rough visual appearance of the area.
P1300522
– My focus in the illuminations, the scenery. I wasn’t focused on any person, or that woman. Only Verny Park and the beauty of the area.
P1300523
– Battleship Mutsu’s 4th Gun Barrel.
P1300524
– Shell for Mutsu’s 4th Gun barrel. Impressive.

Had one final look at Mutsu’s barrel and shell. I especially admired the clock on the right, and Izumo behind me. Shortly after it would rain, I would stay in that rain, depressed I had to return back to a corrupted Canada tomorrow. I took my slow, if somewhat steady time returning back to a train station to take me back to Ueno.

I failed to take anything on the day I arrived, let alone on the final day I left. Only phone captures. I genuinely admired my time in Japan. I admired Japan a full 98%, if with a few frustrations here and there, those of which I had noted in my “episodic” noted daily logs. Other foreign tourists frustrating me, being denied Hakata Ramen, Valentines Day theme ruined the mood, and being laughed at while not having a proper conversation in a bar for an Azur Lane collaboration. Everything else was awesome, and I enjoyed my time. I wish I could have taken slightly more images, especially from Kure, and other places I had visited. In retrospect, I also should have captured more train images. More trains! Japanese trains are what allowed me to freely visit the various areas around Japan, and without them I would be screwed.

I hold Japan in high regards because I view it in a common sense manner, and that’s what I was exposed to. I saw the real-world Japan, not the YouTube comments, Reddit slander, or misinformation on the internet. I saw the real-world Japan, and that’s how I shall perceive it as. Both in 2023, and in 2024. I’m aware Japan isn’t perfect, it however is better than what Canada has turned into. Better transit, better Konbini, people who know formalities, people who help, and what Canada basically was in the past, all prior to the ‘Woke” Alt-Left political trash. Sorry that I had to slander Germany, they however abused me to the point I had to fire back at them. Germans who align themselves as Alt-Left are genuinely vile creatures. It’s what Canada is also, and that’s nothing to be proud of, also making Japan far grander than what it would be originally.

Japan is just that great. More natural, more flowing. Proper. I admire Japan. Thanks for having me, and I hope I can visit sometimes in the future.


Thanks for viewing, and hope to see you in the next Japanese blog posting.
