An anonymous Vipper has been fastidiously touring the backalleys of smalltown Japan, and was kind enough to share his superb photography with the denizens of 2ch.
The photographs were taken in a variety of locations in western Japan, encompassing towns in Mie, Wakayama, Hiroshima, Kyoto, Shiga, Gifu, Aichi, Nagano, Fukui prefectures.
A variety of cats also somehow found their way into the shots…
For a similar glimpse of Japan’s quiet places, forsaken Japan may be of interest.

I like how the cats in the shot are all facing the camera
It reminds me of Studio Ghibli's "Whispers of the Heart" looking for the cat 'Moon'.
The Cat Returns.
So Ghibli...
Its like in shenmue game.
that's right
Picture 6 definitely gave me a very strong Shenmue vibe.
I'd even dare say AM2 may have got inspiration for that Yokosuka transition area from that place.
But then again, Yokosuka is a real city in the Kanagawa prefecture in the Kanto region, so the picture may very well be from a location in that area even though the prefecture isn't mentioned in the article.
actually look again one isn't it has its butt facing you with its tail raised
It's just butt-face
where is the people? looks so lonely place...
I counted 7.
Ura~ra Ura~ra Ura Ura De, Ura~ra Ura~ra Ura Ura Yo!
I like pic 178, reminds me of random anime 4752.
why hasnt uncommon posted he likes this stuff?
You have to wonder about this guy's motives for exploring all these backalleys...
Lol to this.
re-live the past?or see how his grandparents lived?
I think he just got lost while searching for some whorehouses...
Must be pedobear hunting for lolis
Great pics. I felt like I was watching Kamichu again.
Kamichu seconded.
I agree (third-ed) And surprisingly, the majority of them are very clean...but surprisingly, a lot of pussy (cats) can be found there...LOL =^-^=
This makes me want a Assassin's creed game in Japan. How awesome would it be to jump around those roofs?
I agree.
Parkour/Freerunning Heaven
@Icy,it'll be Ninjas/Shinobi since they're also assassins
Don't you think it would be more appropriate if it's called Ninja's Way?
So it would be called Ninja's Creed then. Probably sell very well too.
Ubisoft had lots of demands, asking for Assassin creed in japan background (shinobis and stuff).
Last time, they said to fans that some japanese video game franchise asked them not to, they
want to do this on their own since it's their country. Something like this, i don't quite remember well.
Whilst a fresh AC setting would be nice (it doesn't seem they can go any more modern), I'm not sure another one of their dreadful pseudo-SF stories would do the Japanese setting much justice.
fuck them. they had their chance, it was called Tenchu and they blew it.
A least there is file sharing.
is simply beautiful
(♥_♥)
i would like live there
(♥.♥)
wanna go live in a backalley? Nice aspirations
Sex in the back alley. You are doing it right ;)
XD
I like the pictures artistically.
But the alleys themselves are seem quite dirty and overgrown.
I don't even want to think about the smells.
well,that's your assumptions
no, it's his knowledge, just look at them photos they reek of poverty and an inability to care about your home
OH WOW!!!
Japan have cats and sunset too.
wow, so linear, and perfect for 1 on 1.
No wonder the first fighting games that came out were 2D!
I have never seen anywhere else in the world where the streets are this narrow. There just stomething about them that makes you feel like you enter a vigina or a womb.
Freud Was Right
@LDC,where are you from...?
hmm,you should go to Jskrta,Indonesia,man.
Wow, that's cold.
Downrepping an Anonymous comment is like pistol-whipping a blind kid.
k,you must be from there I suppose...?
Jakarta?
Nah bro, Jskrta.
It's where we take all the idiots who point out typos on the internet and we cut their heads off for making bad use of their time.
Try the Philippines where I live -_-
Amen bro. A reason why a lot of foreigners don't drive here. My dad who is always abroad just lets our driver drive the car whenever he's home because he got used to the wide roads in his workplace. Also a german foreigner i knew who abandoned his car and just uses the taxi nowadays.
streets in my country are narrow as not though, but even the main roads aren't so big either
a foreigner was afraid to drive where I live because of this fact
Pic #8 reminds me of the stairs from Elfen Lied
The smell of my cemen reminds me of the stairs from Elfen Lied
Stairs remind me of the stairs from Elfen Lied
Pic #30 reminds me of the stairs from Elfen Lied
