I'd be the last to advocate vandalism, but without it this haikyo would be a lot more bland. Paul- No doubt fire damage adds to a ruin.

I doubt we'll find anything else like this. Some of the charred wedding items that made the main room so haunting seem to be gone, but the melted phone and fixtures are awesome ... I've gotta say I am a big fan of fire damage. Interesting to see the stained glass windows are (miraculously) fully intact ... I'll try and find some pictures of this place in its glory days when I head out to Ibaraki next month. This is a unique ruin … I doubt we’ll find anything else like this.

Adam- Cheers, and thanks for your suggestions. I used to post 40-60 photos per location, but now try to be more selective. If you'll believe it- I already included all the best shots that I had of the place. There were other rooms, but they either did the same thing as other rooms (either great graffiti, or great ruin, or nature, or very big, or etc..) but not as well, or just didn't show up well in my photographs. That's part of the reason why I add video now, to give a more complete picture of what's going on without unduly repeating the same kinds of images. As for locking video exposure, I'll have to look into how to do it but sounds like a good move, thanks. Tornadoes- Yes indeedy.

A couple of potential tips for the future though; it would be nice to get more shots. I understand you only want to show the best but looking at your videos I see so many other cool rooms that would be nice to see in still shots. Also while on the subject of the video, I think you should start locking your exposure for when you move from room to room. It will prevent certain parts of the video coming out so dark.
