Not sure what these photos are supposed to mean. I live in the Rust Belt, and it really is a belt of rust. Its miles upon miles of rusted metal, sinking into marshes and impenetrable forest. My dad was born just before the Baby Boomers were, and he saw the entire region die. Him and his father, who was born in the 19th century, were the only people who survived. All my dads brothers died in gang fights or of drug use.

Things are OK where I live because we are in a suburban pocket at the easternmost border of the Belt. Most people outside these pockets would litteraly kill their families for the chance to live in one of those Japanese alleys. Again, THIS ENTIRE FUCKING PLACE LOOKS LIKE CITY 17! There are probably zombies walking around in the sewers!

Many of these pictures are from a thread where some anon posted his pictures of "ugly" Japan. I used scare quotes because although these places have a used and old quality they seem to be clean, functional, and well maintained.

Similar places in other places (America) are dirty, unlivable, and broken.

A lot of places in Japan have this quality. When I stayed in Japan the hotel was an ugly stained concrete affair on the outside but was very nice inside (Kimi Ryokan in Ikebukuro, 2002).

Thanks for the link.
Using babelfish(lol) it looks like it's an old tower used in some way for coal mining.
It looks a lot like the towers they had in the midwest US where a train or something would drive up underneath it and the product would be dumped into an open-topped car for transport somewhere else. Just a guess, though.


"The explanation regarding here Sawayama exists on the net. If it summarized to my appearance, when at one time there was a government-managed coal mine here. The high tower where and in order to dig out the coal from a deeper place, the machine which ascent and descent is done was installed became necessary. Because of that, that this tower was made in 1943, is. If 1943 you say, during wartime. It is the time when game bureau has become fault in day. After that the coal mine being closed, just this tower being too enormous, that it could not either break, was that way left is."
