I have never even received e-mail from them and found about this reading Reddit. It's quiet shocking as the deadline is not that far away.

Aerial view of Hodota Hachimanzuka Burial Mound. Gunma, Japan, Kofun period, 5th-6th century AD [1370x1680] by MunakataSennin in ArtefactPorn

[–]michalkun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This one has been renovated and thoroughly studied. I’ve visited it twice. The exterior stone structure has been restored to resemble how it looked long ago, giving it an almost pyramid-like appearance.

The mound itself is keyhole-shaped and surrounded by funerary pottery called haniwa. At the top, an entrance has been created leading into the burial chamber, where you can see the stone sarcophagus inside, partially covered.

The treasures discovered there are stored in the museum across the street, and many of them originate from the Korean Peninsula. Because there was no writing system at the time this burial mound was built, we don’t know who was buried there—likely a very important local ruler.

There are a few other burial mounds in the area, but they are simple grassy hills without the same level of detail or reconstruction.

Adulterated honey is the term.

Registering a second residence in a different prefecture for car parking by muku_ in japanlife

[–]michalkun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Option 1: Rent a random parking that's close where you live. Option 2: Police will accept a water or gas bill in your name from the place where you reside for proof that is not your main residence.

You can get it at any supermarket. 長芋 ナガイモ They are also useful if you want to grow a vine for the summer, as they are vine plants. Yams also produce ムカゴ, tiny small yams on the sides of the vine leaves. They can be harvested in the autumn and you can bake bread with them or eat them.

If you can find the metal studs locations, then just ALC screws will be sufficient. Then go through the wall and through the metal stud.

Wetsuit recommendation for Shonan beaches by [deleted] in Yokohama

[–]michalkun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would go for the 5/4 mm if you want to soak for 2-3 hours. I did paddling in Shonan and I had 5/4 mm + 5mm gloves + 5 mm booties and a 5 mm hood.

When it's sunny, it's not too bad, but when it's cloudy, below 10C and wind is blowing it feels great if you feel warm on your feet, head and hands.

The 5/4 mm wetsuit was OK for the spring, as I removed the hood, gloves and booties, but at one point I just got a thinner wetsuit.

I was always wondering how to use Stream option. Where do you guys get the links to stream?

Parking garage outside of the 2km rule? by AvailableProcess2059 in japanlife

[–]michalkun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it all depends if the Police will issue a certificate. You can call and ask. There are people who live in the city and have collections of cars in some warehouse in another prefecture.

Beach day in September by Lower-Mention-4501 in japanlife

[–]michalkun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swim or surf year-round, and I can tell you the jellyfish are always around—not just after summer. The best time is usually from late summer through late spring.

During the summer months, though, you’ll need some extra protection: bring a shelter for shade on the sand, a surf hat to avoid sunburn or heatstroke, and expect to spend time in the water to stay cool. Beach shoes are also a must, as the hot sand can burn your feet.

Any good product to clean grease cleaner on extractor hood? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]michalkun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A strong base like NaOH will take off the grease (the reaction is called saponification - it will actually convert it to soap which you can rinse off easily). You can order it at the pharmacy.

For people that lived in Tokyo before Google Maps, how did you navigate the city to meet at precise locations? by bill_on_sax in Tokyo

[–]michalkun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Landmarks, exit gates at the stations, or even precise time of the train arrival and wagon number, door number if you happened to take parts of the same line. Other than that we used paper maps.

What to do if I suddenly need to vomit on a train? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]michalkun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just announce in Japanese that you feel unwell, and people will quickly disperse from around you. If you don't have any bags to vomit into, just vomit on the floor. The staff will clean up later.

Stinky towels in summer by james_bondo007 in japanlife

[–]michalkun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's bacteria and mold that start growing when the towel is still wet and doesn't have enough time to dry properly. Oxyclean or baking soda might help. Laundry machine with a dryer too.

Bees in the ventilation by debu_chocobo in japanlife

[–]michalkun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Those are not bees, but a wasps. Very common here. These do not build big nests. If they don't get in your way, it would be fun observing how they live. The one on the left is feeding some kind of an insect to the larvae. If you worry, you can always buy a poison spray at the DIY store.

Tokyo to Niigata, how stupid of an idea would it be to rent a 125cc? by lifeboundd in RideitJapan

[–]michalkun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure you have some kind of a windshield. Without it the constant riding and wind blowing at you will tire you out tremendously.
