Heey everyone, I decided to make a new seperate topic where I will be posting pictures of my dolls !! : )

Currently I have two, one is Sakashita Sakura who is a 1/6 Azone doll, you have probably seen her in my previous topic:

And the second doll I bought yesterday (2024/10/6) [YYYY/MM/DD] and she is my first bigger doll, her name is Suzune she is 45cm tall can you believe it !! waaaay bigger than Sakura O O I was suprised I still cannot believe how big she actually is haha here is a picture of both of them that I took yesterday:

I also bought her outfits and props of course but for that you will have to stick around and see for yourself 🙃

I will be making a replies with the pictures I take along my journey of doll collectiong, each reply contains the pictures I took that day and I will try to write something like my thoughts about the area where I took the pictures or just something silly 😺

 

Hope you enjoy my pictures !!

We visited the Nagoya Castle !! The weather was great but maybe a bit too hot, I couldn't stop sweating : (( and the castle was closed for renovation so we couldn't go inside but it still was a beautiful sight and I enjoyed cycling around Nagoya on my way there and to the next spot we went to which was Tokugawa Garden.

Tokugawa Garden pictures with the You Know I Had to Do It to Em pose XD, the garden was seclued and relaxing it was basically empty almost no one visiting which was great to relax and take pictures.

Now in Osaka we went to visit the Tsurumi Ryokuchi Park Windmill, there were no flowers but I still managed to get some great shots I think !! Exepct the first one which the light sucks but I decided to keep it anyway the more the merrrier or something like that lol
We went to the Republic of Korea Garden inside the park and the windmill area, I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the park, lots of people there with families enjoying life.
Sadly I got stung like 9 times by mosquitoes and I am still itchy today 😰 I bought medicine so don't worry !! Oh and to dress Sakura in the Hakama (red dress thingy) it was hell I took so long aaaaa next time I will just dress her beforehand in the hotel. Otherwise, 10/10 I recommend a visit if you are around Osaka but be careful with the mosquitoes there !!

Today (still in Osaka) we went to the Sumiyoshi Taisha Shrine, it was a very beautiful shrine with very unique arquitecture specially the bridge !! And it was rather large shrine, there were people there praying and I saw some bunny plushies that were part of the shrine ? an event going on ? hidden meaning ? idk still cute though

I was afraid it would be raining but I was lucky to find a decent spot to take my first outside pictures of Suzune, and it also was windy but the spot had trees around so we were cozy and protected haha. I first tried to balance her on the horizontal bamboo but it would end badly and that's when I noticed the vertical stick (dumb me) and I used that to sit her for a pose, I wanted to have her look at the camera with the background being the bridge but I also took a picture of her enjoying nature.

Btw she is dressed in her default outift (She is the Suzune - My Little Devil Version that just came out !!)

IMG-0571.jpg

IMG-0573.jpgIMG-0572.jpg

We were planning on going to the Aquarium in Osaka near the port but my fear came true and it started raining a LOOOT, so we ran to the ferris wheel and took cover. I took some pictures of her there too. Unexpected spot since I wanted to take a picture of her with the night lights of the Tempozan Ferris Wheel behind her but the weather today sucks so I ended up taking pictures inside the wheel cabin.

That is all for now...

Sorry for the picture spam but I was starting to get too many pictures that I hadn't posted and I was lazy to I decided to sit myself today in front of the laptop since the weather is bad and upload everything I have so far, next stop is Himeji I hope I can get cool pictures there : ) guess we'll see if I post or not depending on what happens !!

Hope you enjoyed the pictures so far !! I shoot with my iPhone 15 and I am an amateur photographer so yea but do let me know if you see something I should improve upon, tricks and tips are always welcomed !! Oh and tell me what you think of my dolls and the pictures I took so far ^ ^

Today we went out to Ieshima, a very beautiful island near Himeji. We got there by a small ferry and cycled around the island. Going back to the hotel now and I’m tired 🥲😅 but it was fun !!

Suzune woke up today and chose violence !! 🫣😱

The text from the last post is weirdly sized because I posted from my phone oh well. Anyway we are in Okayama now !! We went to the Castle of Okayama today and it's so tiny compared to the ones I have been to so far haha did not expect that at all. And I took my first pictures of Sakura and Suzune outside together for the first time !! (And I noticed Suzune wig is slightly miss aligned ups but whatever).

IMG-0636.jpg

IMG-0638.jpg

IMG-0637.jpg

Afterwards, we went to the Okayama Korakuen Garden which is right besides the castle just a small walk away, I took some pictures of my girls chilling on a bench there, the garden was very well taken care of. Really beautiful garden, worth a visit and the tickets for both the castle and the garden were 720yen which is a great deal (idk if the prices will change so keep that in mind if you are planning on visiting them).

Last day of Okayama, tomorrow we go to Hiroshima !! We went to get fresh air and see Kibitsu Jinja Shrine in the countryside of Okayama : )

The temple was less cool than I thought from what I had seen but I was able to relax and get some cool shots so I am happy with today's trip.

The most interesting part of the temple was this passageway:

 

IMG-0668.jpg

Here I took three very similar shots to experiment with her position in relation to the passageway, I liked them all so yea posting them all lol

IMG-0669.jpg

IMG-0671.jpg

IMG-0672.jpg

Lastly, I took a picture of Suzune waiting for the train back to Okayama Station, I really like how this one turned out : D

That is all for now, see you soon !!

Today we arrived Hiroshima : )

I decided to go to the Hiroshima Botanical Garden, it is a bit in the middle of nowhere and took a while to get there but it was totally worth it !! The garden is huge and has tons of species you can see up close, they even have entire palm trees inside a greenhouse that's how dedicated they were haha 10/10 experience and you can shoot your doll with flowers which at the time of the year I am visiting Japan it can be hard to find so hence going directly to the botanical garden to take pictures of Suzune with flowers.

Only took two pictures because I only found two spots I really liked (the park is great don't get me wrong but for the pictures I wanted only found two spots).

Here are the pics:

IMG-0696.jpg

And Suzune enjoying a drink : )

That's all for now 😁

Today we went to Itsukushima aka Miyajima a island in Hiroshima Bay. I went around midday so that I could take pictures closer to the O-Torii gate due to low tides. It was packed because of the good weather and because it's weekend.

I tried to take the pics without the stand but it was windy and Suzune fell when I was trying to take the picture even her wig came out 😭😭😭 I was lucky that the spot behind her was dried and she was fine.

So yeah I had to take the pictures with the stand and especially because I wanted to also use the umbrella which would even make it harder to balance her.

Here are the pictures I took near the O-Torii gate:

IMG-0724.jpg

IMG-0725.jpg

IMG-0726.jpg

IMG-0727.jpg

After going to the torii gate we went to eat, visit the five storied pagoda nearby and we also went to the Daishoin Temple. The pagoda I had seen before last year and it's okay but the temple I hadn't been to before because last time I was in Miyajima it was raining a lot. The temple is really unique and beautiful, filled with statues and hidden details worth a visit for sure !!

Afterwards I wanted to really go to the Mount Misen Observatory and Shishiiwa Observatory to get some pictures of Suzune with the view of Hiroshima behind but sadly the tickets were sold out : ( , maybe a next time so instead we went to a smaller torii gate next to the ferries port called Nagahama Shrine Torii, it was empty so it was easier to setup and to get a better picture.

I really liked the results, unfortunately I wasn't lucky again and even though I got good pictures that I am happy with, while I was moving Suzune to the tripod bag my tripod fell and it still had my phone attached so yeah... my screen broke, it wasn't that bad it's not very noticeable because I had a screen protector on but still gave me a mini heart attack haha luckily the cameras are fine and that's what matters !! The repair is expensive and since it isn't that noticeable I will just leave it as is 😅 anyway enough yapping here are the pictures at Nagahama Shrine Torii:

IMG-0753.jpg

IMG-0756.jpg

IMG-0757.jpg

Tomorrow I will be cycling in Hiroshima so I don't think I will be taking any pictures and the following two days it's raining so yea same thing. I might take some pictures at the hotel who knows but if I don't post for a few days you know why, I will still be around though !!

That is all for now : )

 

EDIT: Just noticed I had been posting a lower quality version of the pictures due to copying the lower quality image link, should look way better now [this post, for the others I will leave as they are if you wanna get a higher quality picture of the old ones just DM me : )]

Hey everyone still in Hiroshima 😄

Today we went to Hiroshima Toshogu Shrine which was a kinda underwhelming to be honest. However, behind the shrine there were some neat torii gates without nayone there so I was able to take some nice shots of Suzune in school uniform : ) and if you want you can climb Futabasan (the mountain behind the shrine) all the way where you will see many tiny shrines along the way until you reach the peak in which the peace pagoda was built and you have a nice view of the city.

AELRVMA.jpeg

As you can see it was quite windy haha:

qvlEAVO.jpeg

Better shot I was able to get when the wind stopped before returning lol:

AIjBa3o.jpeg

Next we went by train to Mitaki-dera aka Mitaki Temple, this temple is the best one I visited so far it's just gorgeous and very calming to the soul. But be prepared to climb, a lot !! After visiting the temple I was drenched in sweat 😭😭😭 but worth it !! There were some people but not many so it was easy to get pictures of Suzune without disturbing anyone or getting people in the frame. Oh and there was no windy.

The pictures I took at the temple are right in the beginning of it, there is a LOOOOT to see but I decided to just enjoy the moment and only take these pictures of Suzune and then enjoy the rest of the temple. [I did take tons of pictures just not of Suzune cause it takes time to set up and stuff and I wanted to relax a bit : ) ]

The first two shots I took of Suzune at the pagoda had to be at 0.5x zoom sadly (worse image quality) so I could fit the whole of the pagoda more less:

umreILC.jpeg

5HTSnjz.jpeg

Then I switched back to 1x which has the best image quality on my phone and took a close up shot which I really like how it turned out:

ghXJjWp.jpeg

Then I took these shots of Suzune sitting in the tōrō (stone lantern), now dressed which the jacket as well !!

lb6MCvZ.jpeg

That is all for now, tomorrow is the last day in Hiroshima before I leave for Fukuoka. : )

Hiroshima has been a really nice place to visit, I had visited it last year but now I have more time and I was able to get to know it better. There is still lots to uncover here and I'm sure I will be back one day ! I really recommend everyone who comes to Japan to stop by Hiroshima if they have the time.

 

PS: Ignore the fact that she has no socks haha, I forgot to buy tiny socks to go with the school outfit so yea. I will be buying some when I'm back to Tokyo, if I don't forget to that is XD. Anyway see ya soon !!

Hey we are back !! We went to Fukuoka which was very cool sadly the only spot I wanted to take doll pictures at (Nokonoshima, an island near Fukuoka) was too windy and cold :classic_sad: so I didn't take any pictures.

Now we are at Nagasaki, arrived today : )

We went to the Glover Garden which is park where western merchants had their houses, some of the buildings were relocated from other locations though, it would be amazing if I had either Lolita fashion outfits or western outfits in general for my dolls sadly I still haven't bought any so yea had to take with what I had. But I found an interesting spot in Tokyo which might also have a similar vibe so I will probably visit it in November and by then I should have some more fitting outfits !! We'll see 😄

First there were some escalators to reach the top of the garden, I took these two pictures of Sakura, these were a bit in a hurry you can even see the comb XD

IMG-0952.jpg

IMG-0953.jpg

Here are the pictures I took with both Sakura and Suzune on a bench in front of the Former Mitsubishi No. 2 Dock House, I think they turned out very cute (ignore the fact that Sakura isn't looking at the camera on some of the pictures I only noticed it now haha):

IMG-0959.jpg

IMG-0960.jpg

IMG-0961.jpg

IMG-0962.jpg

Lastly I took pictures of Suzune at the Former Walker House.

Mesmerized by the garden view from the porch:

IMG-0973.jpg

For these solo pictures I had to use the stand because I wanted to try and do different poses with her legs and it would be really hard to balance her 😅

IMG-0974.jpg

IMG-0975.jpg

I really enjoyed the garden, it felt like visiting museums back home or just the average house in the countryside haha, a great time for sure. There are also lots of shops around and coffee shops to relax after going up and down around the garden area which can be tiring.

The pictures also turned out great !! I really like the first and last picture of the solo pictures oh and Suzune holding Sakura was very adorable !!

Tomorrow it rains so I don't think I will be taking them with me, but afterwards it should get better the weather so who knows what might come next, see you soon !!

Hope you enjoyed today's pictures : )

Hey everyone today we went to very cool places !!

To start the day off we went to the Confucius Shrine in Nagasaki, it was a really impressive temple with lots of small details and amazing architecture !! I recommend a visit if you are in Nagasaki and it is very close to China Town so you can lunch there.

Kung Fu pose : D

IMG-1054.jpg

IMG-1055.jpg

And Suzune did a Buddhist pose but Confucianism is it's own thing !! But I read about it later and I had already taken the picture, srry 😅

IMG-1056.jpg

Afterwards, we went to the Urakami Cathedral, it was very pretty and inside there's stained glass and it is a pretty big cathedral sadly no pictures inside but worth a visit nonetheless.

IMG-1067.jpg

IMG-1069.jpg

IMG-1070.jpg

And first night pictures I took of a doll !! yay. We went up Mount Inasa through a rope-way in Fuchi Shrine. I was able to see the sunset sky it was amazing. The path with the lights was a perfect spot for a picture in a more colorful outfit and so I took some pictures there, in the observatory it would be really hard because it was super dark (so you can see the communication towers lightened up and the city). I recommend searching when the sun sets on the day of your visit and either go a bit before to see the sun setting, the sunset sky and the night lights or do like I do and go a bit after the sun sets so there is a bit less people (still a lot in the observatory but taking pictures of the lights in the way to the observatory without anyone there is easy just wait for the people who came with you to move pass you and you'll be on your own). Mostly !! Because there's also people coming your way to leave so you will have short periods without anyone and then tons of ppl but patience is key in photography. And since there were many students there was a lot of comotion when passing through me 😅 I heard from "Scary!!" to "Impressive!!" haha glad I don't know much Japanese cause they might have said worse things that I didn't catch but as always it doesn't matter what others think !! Just do what you like and brings you happiness and f*ck other's opinions (idk if you can swear so yea censored kinda).

Anyway enough chit chat here are the pics:

IMG-1101.jpg

Suzune fell face first right after this pic 😭, but she was fine !! I need to be more careful, but in my defence it was dark and she was standing fine for a good minute but then fell out of nowhere, maybe she was wobbly and because there was bad light I didn't notice. That is why she has the stand in the next photos 😅

IMG-1102.jpg

IMG-1103.jpg

IMG-1104.jpg

She looks so smug in the last two photos !! So cute 👼

I had lots of fun today, great sightseeing and learning from the places I visited and lots of doll photography.

Tomorrow I leave to Kumamoto you already know if I find any spot worthy to take pictures I will otherwise I won't post it. But I am always active in the forum so feel free to interact with me : )

 

Until next time !!

We are in Kumamoto right now !! And we are also leavig tomorrow to Miyazaki.

Kumamoto was okay not much to do, there is but the cool things are far away and as someone who is only staying two nights it was impossible to do it sadly.

I only took one picture in Kumamoto and it was this one of Suzune posing next to Luffy haha, hope you like it 😁

Oh and I put on her some new boots : )

Hey everyone !! Haven't posted in a while.. but we are back !! Now we are at Sapporo (opposite site of Japan from the last posts).

Today we went to a chocolate factory called Shiroi Koibito Park, it was really cool seeing how the factory was created and get to know more about the process of chocolate making and fun facts about chocolate that I had no idea about !! There's lots of cool places in the park to take photos be it doll photography or regular photos. If you love chocolate and taking pictures it is really worth it coming to visit plus you can buy lots of different chocolate products some of which are produced at the factory.

There was this two decker british bus in the park which was perfect for some pictures.

Here's Suzune in all of her glory 😇

IMG-1259.jpg

IMG-1260.jpg

Next I took this picture on a mini train nearby, there were lots of props but they were human sized haha so I couldn't really use them on her. Oh and a Japanese granny came up to me to tell me that Suzune was cute !! Guess not all interactions are negative after all : D

We need more nice people in the world, thank you random Obachan 🥺 🙏

Here's the picture

Choo Choo !!

Happy Halloween 🎃👻 !!!!

Since I am travelling I had to improvise, thankfully Japan has a lot of Halloween merch and themed spots so it made it easier for me haha. I started taking my Halloween pictures like 2/3 weeks ago so that I wouldn't do everything on a rush last minute, anyway...

Here are my Halloween pictures of 2024

Hope you enjoy them : D

Hey everyone !! Some weeks ago I went out with @Tierparkzone to take pictures of our dolls in Yokohama !!

I brought Suzune and Sakura, @Tierparkzone brought Candace : D

(Since I took many pictures I will be posting the pictures in various parts spread out through some days)

 

PART 1 - Harbor View Park in Yokohama

First we went to Harbor View Park in Yokohama, there you have a great view of the Yokohama Bay Bridge and there are lots of spots nearby to take pictures of dolls with flowers.

First some solo pictures of Suzune : )

IMG-1699.jpg

IMG-1700.jpg

Candance is here !! Look at the size difference woah haha
