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.
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?
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.
Abandoned in 1974, the Battleship Island (Gunkanjima) turned into the Ghost Island and soon became one of the most famous spot for urban exploration.
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.
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.
A clear sky, rising temperature, it feels like holidays. Perfect time to pay a new visit to a few abandoned amusement parks!
So everyday, I was walking from Ginza and Shiodome and on the way, here it was: the Nakagin Capsule Tower.
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.
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 House of Freedom, once a majestic symbol of strength and independence, now lies abandoned and in ruins. The massive concrete walls that once stood proud now crumble with each passing day, a haunting reminder of what once was. Yet, amidst the decay and destruction, there is a certain beauty in the way the light filters through the cracks, casting shadows on the walls. Despite its current state, The House of Freedom still holds a certain power and presence that cannot be ignored.

Upon arriving at the tunnel, you’ll be struck by its unique appearance. Made up of seven octagonal rings, the structure looks like it could be a portal to another dimension. As you walk through the tunnel, you’ll feel like you’re traveling through time, with a mix of emotions ranging from awe to fear and excitement.
Despite its otherworldly appearance, it was actually constructed in 1915 as part of a railway. It was designed to prevent rocks from falling onto the tracks, but the reason for its seven unconnected octagonal arches remains a mystery. Some speculate that it was an attempt to reduce construction costs. The tunnel was abandoned when the railway closed in 1964.

The overgrown ruins of Little Matsuo, a once-bustling apartment complex in the Japanese countryside. The buildings, now abandoned and left to decay, are surrounded by lush rice fields and greenery, making it clear that nature has taken over this place. From the top view, the apartment buildings look like a maze of concrete and overgrown vegetation.
This photo is a haunting reminder of the transience of human endeavors and how nature can take over in the end.

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.

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 ? ✌️

Let's go discover this very special haikyo with a man who is equally special, or maybe not.
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.
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.
It’s early. I call on my host: couldn’t you recommend an island around here for my morning constitutional? Of course, he told me. So join my mate on his boat down there. He’ll take you to his place! On Goat Island...
