Abandoned Hospitals in Japan

These haikyo hospitals always attract me, especially the very old ones in Japan. They possess magical and enchanting powers; thus when you walk around, there tends to be many mysterious encounters.

The Royal House: An Abandoned House

A house in the middle of the forest is reminiscent of the adventures of Hansel and Gretel. This one is unfortunately not made of gingerbread, but maybe we will discover an old witch and her stupendous stories?

Japan’s Suicide Forest: Aokigahara

Aokigahara, known as Japan’s suicide forest, is a unique place in other ways. Silent, no wildlife in sight, magnificent trees and shrubs, and really easy to lose yourself in.

Gunkanjima: Photos & Stories

Abandoned in 1974, the Battleship Island (Gunkanjima) turned into the Ghost Island and soon became one of the most famous spot for urban exploration.

Little Abandoned Japanese Clinics

I am a great fun of abandoned hospitals, they are my favorite type of haikyo. Not those empty concrete buildings, but the small wooden clinics rotting away quietly in the countryside without anyone noticing.

Abandoned Japanese Schools

I have always liked abandoned Japanese schools. Not only they are sleeping beautifully far away in forgotten countrysides but they are also the cradle of the Japanese soul.

Abandoned Amusement Parks in Japan

A clear sky, rising temperature, it feels like holidays. Perfect time to pay a new visit to a few abandoned amusement parks!

Nakagin Capsule Tower

So everyday, I was walking from Ginza and Shiodome and on the way, here it was: the Nakagin Capsule Tower.

Nara Dreamland: The End of a Dream

Nara Dreamland was an abandoned amusement park. I've just spent a year in Nara (2015-2016), a kilometre from the park, so it's time for me to write a little epilogue.

G-Cans : Japan’s Underground Temple

Hidden below the Tokyo streets is a true superhero – a bitumen-washed facility with state-of-the-art technology and an architectural beauty to put a Corbusier or two in the shade. This is G-Cans, also known by...

The Village of Yokaichi

The charming village of Yokaichi, in the countryside of Shikoku island, takes you back to the Meiji era. Its beautiful wooden houses are worth a lingering look.

Fujimori’s Tea houses In Nagano

Terunobu Fujimori is an architect and historian of architecture. He began his building career relatively late, in his early forties. Before that, he had forged a solid reputation as an academic.

The photo captures a hauntingly beautiful aerial view of Furufuru Land, an abandoned waterpark that was once a popular attraction. The murky water of the pools and slides creates an eerie atmosphere, as if time has stood still in this place for decades. 

The surrounding trees and vegetation have overgrown and taken over the once-manicured landscape, giving the impression that nature has reclaimed this space. The scene exudes a sense of mystery and desolation, as if the waterpark was suddenly abandoned and left to decay.

Cherry blossoms are back, the demonic birds as well! 🤪🤪🤪
In the middle of the luxurious woods of Kanagawa, we felt like Hansel and Gretel when we discovered this abandoned house. This one is not made of gingerbread however. But maybe we will discover an old witch and her stupendous stories? Here is the Royal House, one of the most famous haikyo in Japan. It’s known in Japanese as Karei Naru Ichizoku (A Majestic Family). Its location has been kept very secret for years to protect the precious artifacts it hosts.

⚠️ Cet hiver, je suis remplacé par une AI. Je reviendrai sous ma forme féline à l'ouverture des sakura ! D'ici là, chaque image sera AI est accompagnée d'une question.

Petite visite aux singes de Jigokudani - ça laisse rêveur, non ?

Vous l'avez peut-être remarqué : j'ai été moins présent sur les SNS ces derniers mois ! Je trouve que le contenu est devenu teeeellement insipide ! 😝 Côté photo, c'est rébarbatif, et côté vidéo, la norme c'est d'être catchy-empty et de surfer sur les hypes. Au final, je me retrouve à apprécier ces images AI pour toutes les interrogations qu'elles font naître et les rêveries étranges qu'elles suscitent ! 🌟 Qu'en pensez-vous ?

⚠️ Cette hiver, je suis remplacé par une AI. Je reviendrai sous ma forme féline à l'ouverture des sakura ! D'ici là, chaque image postée sera accompagnée d'une question relative aux SNS et ou à l'AI.

Ici, un chat qui met le bronx au Shibuya Crossing.

Pourquoi je fais ça ? Je développe des applications qui utilisent de l'AI récemment, alors je me dois de tester à fond ses possibilités, y compris ici ! Au delà de ça, c'est l'hiver au Japon, et la plupart des gens sur les SNS ne regardent plus les photos. Donc autant s'amuser un peu, non ? Qu'en pensez-vous ? ✌️

Quelques souvenir de l’automne ! J’ai encore raté les spots que je souhaitais faire mais avec un peu plus de chance et de motivation, j’aurai de supers clichés et vidéos à vous partager l’an prochain ⛩️✨✨ Allez, allez, on se prépare pour l’hiver…

Haikyo (Urban Exploration)

Japan

Arashiyama Bamboo Grove

Sagano, better known as Arashiyama, is a vast area in Ukyo-ku district, northwest of Kyoto city, encircled by Mounts Ogura and Atago and the Katsura river.

Osaka Great Peace Tower

This oddly designed tower is a cenotaph, in other words a funerary monument that doesn’t contain human remains but was erected in memory of a person, or group of people.

Hi, I am your haikyo guide!
