This one was taken at Hiroshima.. That dome shaped building on the right is called the A-Bomb Dome. The a-bomb exploded directly above it and it has not been touched since

This one is just a temple at Kyoto

This is perhaps one of my favs

Hate the fact that the tree is in the way of Fuji

Golden temple

Another temple at Nara

it looks like you have a lot of optical distortion. did you shoot in raw? if so perhaps you can correct that with the proper lens profile. It's really evident in your favorite picture.

I am a really big fan of the right two-thirds of #4 in your first post :). I think that if you cropped that big hill that's covered with trees and vegetation out entirely and cropped the remainder to bring the far waterline to 1/3 of the way down, you'd have a stronger frame.

Of course you'd lose the boat, but it's cut off anyways. The near hill has a lot of orange-brown and the trees and vegetation are messy. I think it interrupts the mood (of the part that I like :P) and distracts from that gorgeous rise and misted snow-capped mountain in the background. That row of stacked boats to the right makes a nice foreground element as it is, and I love how it is lit.

When presenting photos for critique.....it is best to only pick one or two. You have way too many images for here.

I agree, & I've removed the tags to the "legally" excess images.

In the "Share" areas IMAGE POSTING RULES only allow 2 attachments by the OP per thread, OR 8 embedded (linked) images, OR a combination of both totaling 8 per thread. (Maximum 1024 pixels on any side.) You can always just post a link to more, though, or better yet, post a link to a gallery so we don't have to click on each image link.
Some exceptions are group threads, like "Show Me...", "Post your best...", equipment reviews, Tutorials, etc.
You may add a few additional photos if requested, but only in a reply to other member's post and request.

Some nice shots there. #3 lacks a clear point of interest and there's a UFO (flare) in the upper right that you might clone out.
With the gold temple, it's centered, you might crop tighter and apply the rule of thirds cutting out some sky in the process. And it's a bit flat. Try brightening just the temple.
The Osaka castle is kind of overpowered by the lovely flowers in the foreground. I wonder what a tighter crop on the castle would look like?
Japan is a joy to photograph.
