Very nice, detailed trip photos! I loved reading through it all, and your commentary was just as amusing as some of the odd photos. I laughed out loud a lot… ahhh, Japan. I’m planning to visit in either late ‘09 or sometime in ‘10, so I really like reading about others’ experiences.

One question, though, if I may be so bold… you mentioned that you had many other photos not related to comics, so you wouldn’t put them here… any word on when they might be uploaded elsewhere? ;)

Thanks for all that effort and your excellent photojournalistic skills!

[...] This is perhaps a good opportunity to remind readers that Chris’s blog is chock-full of wonderful photographsÂ of Japan, photos that brilliantly zoom in on that nation’s urban and consumer landscape. [...]

Man, that Tsutaya in Shibuya looks awesome! I definitely need to check that out soon. I’ve learned a lot from you, thanks for the posts. I want to go to RamenTown as well. By the way, I actually eat McDonalds at least once a month here in Japan…I haven’t tried any of the Japan-specific items, but I love the burgers! Didn’t you think they were cleaner than Mcdonalds restaurants back home? I think so, I never ate at them back in America, but here they hit the spot sometimes.

have I ever mentioned that my ideal place to live would be In A Manga Store, In Japan?

Many, many thanks for all the reportage. My wife and I have enjoyed it very much, and it only fuels our desire to return one day.

Hey, is that lunch price in Canadian or U.S. dollars…?

…oh. Right. :(

Heh. Farewell, awesome Japan photo travelogue of Roaming Chris. Peace and good fortune.

Guy, I could sit there and listen to you and Eric talk about Japan, literally, all day. I so cannot wait to go, and much like you, I don’t think I’d want to come back… even though I know for a fact I’d never make it there. These travelouges have been amazing and helpful. And, once again, thanks for putting up with doing my shopping while you were there. You have no idea how much I appreciated it, and how much restraint I actually showed when I gave you that list (it was MUCH BIGGER before I whittled it down to the, what, 15-20 books I asked for?). Thanks a lot!
