Unfortunately the amount of road trips went down from 3 to 1, plus one solo trip per year — in 2017 I was able to visit all nine regions of Japan, in 2018 I never got off Honshu, except for when I left Japan to visit family and friends. Almost at once, he was faced with considerable difficulties. Just a bit bigger and prettier.
Thanks to the for this amazing experience. Some 16,000 of his subjects marched as soldiers with the French invasion of Russia to take Moscow; only a few hundred survived to return. It made access a bit thougher than expected… but even against the grey sky, the half-finished stupa looked absolutely amazing.
THE 10 BEST Baden - Yes, you read that correctly. Everywhere sounds much more promising.
Whenever I have a couple of minutes and access to GoogleMaps I love to randomly have a look around via satellite view. When you have seen a place a gazillion times you can be pretty sure that there are neither alarms nor security or other unusual risks involved; you also can be sure that access is rather easy as so many people trampled through there before. Fortunately the Demon Warrior Hotel was really abandoned — and though the front door was still locked, access was easy via an annex. Metal thieves had been there for as the shared baths showedso were vandals and at least one arsonist who caused major damage to the gift shop, the bar and the area between. The gender separated baths were still nice, though somewhat unspectacular. The rooms, both Western and Japanese style, were pretty much standard. The bar and some hallways were kinda spooky, but overall the Demon Warrior Hotel turned out to be a rather unspectacular exploration. My favorite room in the whole hotel was unremarkable at first sight, it looked like the typical tatami party room you have in pretty much every Japanese accommodation. One of the cabinets though featured a hotel shrine, including a kami mirror and prayer beads also known as juzu. None of the items appeared to be of high lost places baden württemberg or craftsmanship, but they were nice to look at and made this exploration at least somewhat special. Abandoned Kansai is basically a one man, ad free side-project and I really appreciate all the support and most of the resulting conversations. In the Chinese zodiac scheme 2018 was the year of the dog, though sometimes it felt like one year long dog day… which is very subjective, of course, and probably includes overthinking too many first world problems, especially after the grandiose 2017, which took me from one end of Japan to the other and allowed me to explore a record number of locations 70, lost places baden württemberg out a total of 120. My favorite thing to do, probably overall, is going on road trips in Japan. Especially when combined with nice people, spectacular abandoned places, interesting touristy stuff, local food… and good weather i. Unfortunately the amount of road trips went down from 3 to 1, plus one solo trip per year — in 2017 I was able to visit all nine regions of Japan, in 2018 I never got off Honshu, except for lost places baden württemberg I left Japan to visit family and friends. I guess overall it was still a good urbex year — I just wish there would have been more opportunities… So if you are living in areas like Kyushu, Tohoku or Hokkaido and want to give this urbex thing a try with one of the most experienced explorers in Japan, feel free to drop me a line. Most plans fall through for one reason or another, but hey, I also met some truly good people via urbex, so why not trying it this way. After 9 years I have most of Kansai picked clean and I barely ever do revisits. Another reason to love multiple day trips — we barely ever spend the night further than 30 minutes away from the first location of the day. Hopefully more explorations on more days with old friends and new ones. Abandoned temples and shrines are quite hard to find in Japan, despite the fact that there must be tens of thousands of them. But no matter how remote the location, there always seems to be somebody who takes care of. Sure, some of them are rarely visited and not in good condition anymore, but really abandoned are only a few of them. Or was, about a decade ago. A stupa is a hemispherical structure containing relics, usually the remains of important Buddhist monks, and is used as a place to meditate. Traditionally stone constructions, the Temple Construction Ruin cut some corners by being made from ferro-concrete… and never finished. Overlooking a gorgeous plain, unexpected snowfall turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It made access a bit thougher than expected… but even against the grey sky, the half-finished stupa looked absolutely amazing. After some outdoor shots I went inside and was totally fascinated by a Buddha sculpture with blue hair — Marge Simpson style. To more surprise, people left money and other offerings… so… who know how abandoned even this place was. Through a rather narrow opening the center of the stupa was accessible. While the outside featured some withered wooden ladders, the inside had some metal scaffolding to access the upper parts, probably two to three storeys tall. This part lost places baden württemberg reminded me of thea classic location in Japanese urbex. Absolutely fascinating and strangely beautiful in its own way, literally inside and out. Exploring abandoned places can be quite nerve-wrecking, but exploring the Temple Construction Ruin was as serene as you hope an abandoned religious place to be. After a while abandoned love hotels became easier to find and now they are almost as common as abandoned schools and tourist hotels. Well, mainly two things — its structure and its age. While most other establishments of this type consist of a main building with connected parking, kind of a mix between hotel and motel, the Love Hotel Blossom was a circular arrangement of individual bungalows including small garages. The first building on the slightly elevated premises lost places baden württemberg looked like a regular one-storey home from the same time period, most likely used only occasionally, probably to feed the cat s living there. Nevertheless I had a strange feeling and asked my buddy Mark to park the car facing the driveway in the direction down to the main road, in case we would need to leave in a hurry. Then we walked further up the slope to check out the bungalows. Most of them were accessible — and each was different than the other. There even was a quite large two-storey duplex bungalow, though the ground floor was parking. Most surprisingly the majority of those bungalows were still in decent condition, despite the fact that the road connecting them was basically more or less overgrown. Its origins date back to the 4th century, when a son of legendary Emperor Ojin as in: what is known about him is based on legends, not verifiable historical facts had a palace built in Uji. In the early years of the 11th century The Tale of Genji was written by Murasaki Shikibu; the final chapters of this classic being set it Uji, it still attracts people to the city till this very day. In 1052 the already mentioned Byodo-in, a Buddhist Temple, was established along the Uji River — actually the converted villa of a high-ranking minister. A year later the Phoenix Hall was finished. In 1160 the Tsuen tea shop opened its doors, nowadays widely considered the oldest tea shop in the world, run in the 24th generation and still a family business. Surprisingly little has changed since then, especially in the area around Tachibanajima Island in the Uji River, where countless temples, shrines, restaurants, shops, and ryokan are located. And while the neighboring tourist towns of Kyoto and Nara are slowing caving in to followîng the almighty Dollar, Euro, Won, and Yuan, Uji seems to stand strong lost places baden württemberg still feels like traveling in time; well, if you ignore the massive construction in the Uji River… The Uji River starts as Seta River in Shiga prefecture and is an outlet lost places baden württemberg Lake Biwa. After flowing through Uji City it merges with the Kizu River and Katsura River near Yamazaki — famous for the Battle of Yamazaki, where Toyotomi Hideyoshi defeated Akechi Mitsuhide and therefore avenged his former Lord Oda Nobunaga. If you are not a Japanese history nerd and lost places baden württemberg names sound familiar, you probably played the video game Onimusha: Warlords, which brilliantly tells the story of an alternative timeline based on historical facts and will soon be re-released as a remastered version. Anyway, somewhere along the Uji River lie the remains of the Uji River Ryokan — or rather the leftover of the remains, as most of the ryokan has been demolished at least a decade ago. Only the below the road half-basement floor is left… and not in good condition. Back in March 2011, just days after the Tohoku Earthquake and the Fukushima Lost places baden württemberg a university friend then living in Tokyo was visiting me in Kansai to get some distance from everything; including a back then still possible core meltdown. I thought the term was kinda funny, but I remember several friends being really upset about it… while being back home in Germany or the States. Like I said, pretty much everything on or above street level had been demolished years prior, but even the semi-basement, featuring a large tatami room and the shared baths, was in rather bad condition due to arson, earthquakes and missing protection from the building that was once above. Located out of sight near an almost lost road deep in the mountains, it felt like the Ghibli School was in its own world with its own time — and it was definitely from a different time. A remote wooden school in the mountains of Japan, decaying for more than 45 years. Unfortunately getting to the school turned out to be quite an adventure. While it takes only days in Japan to repair a damaged bridge to an airport on an artificial island, it can take months or even years to fix landslides in the countryside… which is exactly what we ran into on our way to the school. A nice little landslide on a countryside road… just about 30 meters away from where another landslide must have struck a couple of years prior. As a passenger in the car I had no orientation, so when the guy in charge said that it was only a 15 minute walk, much quicker than driving the detour to the school, of course everybody agreed that we could walk the supposedly short distance. Nothing tragic, but unfortunate — especially since the walks took longer than taking pictures of the school. Along the way was a large, rather modern tunnel. Exploring the abandoned Ghibli School though was a beautiful experience. Surrounded by a thick forest, out of sight and sound of the rest of the world, it was easy to forget everything around you and just enjoy the decaying, moss growing wooden beauty this wonderful location is. Nevertheless a set worth sharing taken at a place worth revisiting. Even 100 year old countryside clinics are not that rare, surprisingly, but most of them were run by general practitioners — this one though apparently was a specialist, an ophthalmologist. Ophthalmology is a lost places baden württemberg young specialized field of medicine. Until the 18th century it was part of surgery and made vast progress in the 19th century with the development of high performance light microscopes. The first professorship of ophthalmology was introduced as late as 1818 in Vienna, just 50 years before Japan opened up to the world again after being the blueprint of modern-day North Korea for two and a half centuries… While the first private eye clinic dates back to 1782 in Germany, the job of independent local eye doctors providing care for the masses is a development of the 20th century. A declining one, apparently — at least in Germany there are fewer and fewer eye doctors. One of the great things about exploring with my buddy is that we always go far and aim high — hardly ever do we explore locations in day trip range lost places baden württemberg Tokyo or Osaka, which means that we can usually cherry pick interesting or even spectacular locations in areas like Hokkaido, Tohoku, along the Sea of Japan, or Kyushu. The Old Eye Clinic, opened in 1945 and closed in 1991, turned out to be on the more interesting end of this high-class range, though it started as a slow burner. Unfortunately they were all cluttered with all kinds of stuff — furniture, medicine, construction material, medical journals, household items, and much, much more. Add 25 years of abandonment supported vandalism and natural decay, then you can imagine what condition most of the structures were in. Or you can just look at the photos of this article… I almost gave up hope to find a building or room that actually still resembled a real clinic, when I gave that last building a final chance, despite it not looking promising at all from the back entrance — of course it turned out to be a dedicated clinic building with no living space at all. Despite being vandalized and not in good condition anymore either, the clinic was absolutely fascinating and full of items, bottles and books I had never seen before at any other abandoned hospital. All kinds of eye tests, medical devices, and tinctures — wonderful, what an unexpected find at that point. In the end I ran both out of time and out of light exploring the abandoned Old Eye Lost places baden württemberg, but it was a great experience, despite all the flaws of the place in general — it actually kind of reminded me of my first abandoned clinic, thestill one of my all-time favorite locations.

In 1866, Württemberg took up arms on behalf of Austria in the , but three weeks after the on 3 July 1866, her troops suffered a comprehensive defeat at , and the country lay at the mercy of Prussia. This part really reminded me of the , a classic location in Japanese urbex. By 30 April 1945, all of Baden, Württemberg and Hohenzollern were completely occupied. The penetrated through acquired possessions in to the border. Right from the jazz festivals to classical concerts of ballet, open-air museums, exhibitions and theatre performances. He directed his forces to fight with allies in their attack on France. In the duel between Austria and for supremacy in Germany, William I had consistently taken the Austrian side.
