Japan! is there any places to go for an artist!?

[shayankhan01]

Hey my friends!
sooo I am going to Japan! BUT I simply do not know where to go, to grow as an artist!
I feel like this is an awesome time for me to grow as an artist, and with Japan..that could really help!
....sadly I do not know what could help me?

What I want:
some places that are filled with creativity!!
(mostly so I can use it in my manga! )

What, so like inspiring places :o

I hear that Fujisan is a place that inspires a lot of artists!
A classic of course would be Tokyo Tower,
Odaiba,
The Floating Garden in Osaka,
Dotonbori(also in Osaka),
and Takeshita-dori in Tokyo!

I would also recommend visiting places like museums? Not sure which part of creativity you wanted to fill, so I gave you a variety of places.

You could go to the Ghibli museum in Mitaka (Tokyo), but getting tickets is hella complicated if you don't speak Japanese. You can't buy the tickets at the museum; you have to reserve them beforehand. However, even though it's troublesome, it's completely worth it!

Kyoto has a very cool old world vibe to it so it can inspirational to visit some of the shrines and cultural sites.

In Tokyo, it depends on what you want. Akihabara for your nerdy anime and electronics stuff. Asakusa is nearby and has a really cool old shrine. If you go on Sunday, you might see Shrine people dealing with the Cosplayers.

Shibuya and Harajuku for fashion. Sunday you might seem some of the more crazy fashion. Make sure to hit the Shibuya train station to see the famous crosswalk and Hachiko statue.

Nagano and Ikebokuro are great places to shop? Nagano has a really cool mall that has a lot of old collectables.

Really, when I was there years ago, Sunday is the day when young people are off so if you want to see crazy costumes and stuff so check around and you might see Lolitas, cosplayers, or the guys with the kick ass pompadours.

Also shrines are a must.

I'm actually going to visit Japan next year so thank you for these details

[Redthic]

No problem. I'd love to go again myself.

If you need to know where to find a particular item storewise, let me know. If there are still around, I can direct you to some pretty cool shops.

Scenery and stuff is probably easier to find in travel guides.
