Photo Printing

Hi! I'm looking for recommendations for websites that allow you order photo prints online and that charge around 10 cent a print. What do you all use to bulk order photos? Thank you.

    I was just looking online after your comment (because I was curious!) There seems to be a Rakuten service (12 yen a print). https://shashinkan.rakuten.co.jp/en/print/ this one is helpful for me because the site is in English. However, others online mentioned the following: http://fujifilm.jp/personal/print/ http://www.kitamura-print.com/ They are in Japanese though, and I can't find where to work out how much each print is. I think I'm going to try out the Rakuten one since it's in English, I've been working on building the kids some albums and cheaper is always nicer when it's lots of pics! But, if you can read the Japanese on those other sites, let me know - I'm sure my husband could help me order if I worked out they were better value!

    I haven’t tried it but Rakuten photo print seems to be the cheapest at 12¥. I have used Kitamura printing in store and it is great quality but it is 29¥ per print.

It's called primii . Only worth it if you print often and a lot though

    If you live close to a Costco, they do printing as well and you can order them online so you can pick up your photos there and bring a pizza home too ;)

Fears in Japan that you didn't have in your home country?

I've written a number of blogs here on City-Cost about how bears are a real worry in my area these days, and it's something that I didn't have to concern myself with in my home country. I know people talk about snakes and spiders in Australia being deadly (and yes, there are some types that are), but they're not typically going to come and attack you unprovoked. Also, it's a lot easier to outrun a snake or a spider than a bear ;) I'm curious about the rest of you, if you have fears here that maybe weren't present in your country of origin. Let me know in the comments!

Christmas - shopping, meals, etc. - how are we faring?

I saw a press release this morning from FamilyMart, which promoted their festive season eats but also covered a survey about spending. The survey mentioned most people planning to celebrate Christmas at home aim to spend less than 5,000 yen on food. How does your budget look in comparison to that? Do you go all out for Christmas here if it was something you celebrated in your home country, or is it a quieter celebration owing to it not being an official holiday here? How about Christmas shopping? Have you got strict budgets in place, and have you completed your shopping or are you still looking for bits and pieces for people?

From October to February, the Diamond Fuji phenomenon is visible for a few days. Have you seen this sight before? Where did you watch it from? Is it close to transportation?
