It's been a few months since I visited Japan; as you may recall I was traveling around *a lot*.
Here's a projection of all the places I visited, in numerical order.
Data comes from photo EXIF, plotted on OSM tiles and rendered with a Python script doing some Math.
A big question before I went was whether the Japan Rail Pass was worth it. I contend it was, but would people be interested in an actual analysis to prove that?

Seems appropriate to wrap up this thread with an atmospheric telephone photo, as I'm now on my way home (via Shanghai) ✈️
Overall an extremely successful and enjoyable trip; not "relaxing" but that's not how I travel.
I'll post some more analysis of my JR Pass usage and perhaps some more thoughts later if people are interested 👀
Likewise, let me know if you want to see more photos of other underground attractions (don't want to spam).

🍣 Reviews of some Japanse snackfoods from the last couple of weeks.
1. Custard bun thing. Pretty tasty, seemed to include cream too. Could have been a better custard.
2. Spam rice ball. Excellent - goes really well with the seaweed & the saltiness cuts through the glutenous rice.
3. Chocolate cream bun. Rubbery; came from a vending machine with a BBE in 2028 and tasted like it too.
4. Squid strips. Salty, fishy and tasty. Could do with a sauce to dip into.

And a perfectly parked automobile. No notes.
