Introduction
This post will talk about my time in Japan, more specifically, the best aura farming in Japan. If you are an Otaku nerd such as myself then you are familiar Piccolo standing off in the background standing on one ledge, or Eileen the Crow standing by herself in Bloodborne, or even your typical sitting by himself contemplating his next move. All of this things had meaning but the aura they had in addition to the context was next level. Here is my favorite spot for aura Farming in Japan
Arashiyama Bamboo Forest is undefeated
Let me cook for a minute. Or contextually, let me explain why Arashiyama bamboo is undefeated in the rain. If you go to the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest when it rains early in the morning you have 3 Things working for you.
Vegeta’s willpower
Do you remember how hard Vegeta had to train just to become a super saiyan after having his pride and ego destroyed by someone he deemed as inferior. The so called lower class saiyan warrior of Kakarot. It became his life goal to humiliate Kakarot in the same way so if you go to the Arashiyam Bamboo Forest not only will your iron will be amped for the atmosphere but you too will be undefeated in the forest.
The Monsoon
The monsoon season extremely underrated when you want to be by yourself or want an event cancelled. There is something about the rain that deters people and changes attitudes from chipper to spilled milk. For the Arashiyama Bamboo Forest the same things applies as when I had gone in in the morning the rain deterred about 90% of customers that normally would have come at that time, so I was fortunate enough to have the some the best photos of just me and forest.
Serenity
Last but not least the serenity of you getting up early, facing monsoons when no one else would actually leads to the final piece in aura farming which is the calm after the storm. Oftentimes, in anime, there is an internal struggle that characters succumb to whether if it was childhood trauma, a level unreached, or even a plate of food preventing the whole world’s destruction. There is always something to overcome. So overcoming these obstacles lead to serenity which is the aura farming that we all look for when we take pictures in Japan. A lot of people when they take pictures the aura isn’t always there because of the people, presence, and access.
