Wonderful!
I am a new second life resident. It is quite nice to have your kind navigation. I am going to see how different they are from the real…

Thanks Kalderi, some are better than others. I just had a quick look at your Hosoi Ichiba and it’s beautiful!

Nick,

Thanks for giving some good publicity to these great builds. Love to see japanese culture being shown and made available to us “virtual travellers”. I spend a lot of my time in SL selling traditional japanese and asian items, so have grown to get an appreciation for these things. I am going to make a point of visiting your suggestions in-world.

Thanks Laurel, sounds great! I’m sure I’ve missed a lot of places worth seeing so keep the suggestions coming.

From the looks of it, you missed the big one. Tokugawa and the collection of 6 or more prefectures that surround it is a work of art.
There is a massive castle, formal japanese gardens, japanese shopping district and soon there will be an urban sim based on Tokyo.
Also tons of Samurai stuff, residential areas, hotsprings, temples and a geisha house where dancers perform regularly.
The whole thing was built by Domokun Giotto and if you like Japan, I suggest you check it out. The castle alone takes up an entire sim and it IS completed.

Pretty much everything in Second Life is made by its users.

Neat. I’ve never been on second life before (although I’ve known about it for awhile)

I’ll have to get on there and take some armchair vacations. btw, who makes all of these structures? The users or the SL webmasters?

What??? These shots aren’t real??? Ok well that does it Nick’s mum and Keith’s mum can join me on the boat, since there isn’t as much “security hassle” there as there are when you fly… Man, I’m glad that problem is solved!

I agree Mum, do you know how long it would take to fly to all of these places and all of the security you would have to go through to gain access to them. Now that Japan is finger printing all foreigners I just can’t be bothered! My word!
