How long is the line I’ll arrive at clubasia in like 50 mins

[summer imp]

@slender raft how was Mogra?? Im a big fan and excited to go, just saving it for later this month when im staying closer to Akihabara

[remote grail]

It's pretty dope

[frozen cedar]

It’s pretty long but not ages to wait

[strong glade]

I'll be there in 30m

[slender raft]

It's pretty nice. The 1F is just casual drinking and eating, the B1F is the dj set and drinking.
The music depends on the night, always anime themed i think on Tuesday and Thursdays. But it can be different kind (like, only oldies)

[ripe mica]

@safe dock confirm you're still inside and tell us where!!

[slender raft]

Personally, I'd go there again

[austere kindle]

Anime themed sounds cool

[slender raft]

Just check some videos on internet to get an idea of what's going on, there are a few of them

[ripe mica]

https://tenor.com/view/angry-anime-choke-to-love-ru-gif-20028153

[rancid lynx]

[mortal beacon]

Yeah I’m about to watch the live band

They’re sound checking

My ears are going to blow out

[strong glade]

I'm at club Asia now too, so good

[mortal beacon]

Trying to turn that into an ecstatic experience

[rancid lynx]

we're by the back, look for 2 guys staring at their phones

[austere kindle]

There is no queue for club Asia right now it looks like

[soft merlin]

Gonna pass on clubasia, have fun @rancid lynx @strong glade 🙂

[slender raft]

Lol

[strong glade]

Fair but you're missing out, it's so good

[austere kindle]

Where the club Asia guys at ? I’m inside

[strong glade]

Top floor, next to the dance floor / bar right side

[frozen cedar]

Hi yes

[strong glade]

We are at top floor infront of the DJ, let me know where you are

[ripe mica]

[unreal spire]

[safe dock]

She said I love African Americans

[strong glade]

Cool? Haha

[ripe mica]

Such a troll love it

[frozen cedar]

holy shiiiiiiit

[mortal beacon]

I couldn't hang, got too tired, but had hella fun while I was there

[frozen cedar]

otsukaresama

[uneven ferry]

The background sounds like a Sonic The Hedgehog level music in a desert ambient 😍😍😍 😂😂😂

[ripe mica]

We are worried about a drunk 19 yr old

[pastel elm]

I find it insane that you’re still going @ripe mica!

[safe dock]

That 19 year old had it coming

You relished in his pain

[uneven ferry]

You looking really, verry, worried 😂😂

[uneven ferry]

i need to figure out, how she doing that

[pastel elm]

I was a shell of a person yesterday. Once I hit a bed I died a death.

[rancid lynx]

@strong glade Hope you got home safely. Best wishes from me and Adam

[uneven ferry]

how you got a resurrection? give me some advice☠️

[hollow cedar]

Do y'all know a good place in Tokyo or Osaka to buy a woman's shrawl? My mom wants one.

[pastel elm]

Going to go to an onsen when it opens and hope that will be the key

[hollow cedar]

Also if there's a good toy store cause I want to buy something for my niece as well

[uneven ferry]

Hakuhinkan Toy Park, Nintendo Store, Pokemon Center, Kiddy Land, Kobayashi Toy Shop....Whole Tokyo is a good Toy Store 😁

[pastel elm]

These will come in handy for me too. I need to get my nieces and nephews gifts for Christmas.
Probably also need to get some cosplay stuff for them too.

[uneven ferry]

I read about a very big store called "Lashinbang" in Ikebukuro. Should be World largest Anime Store. Will check it out next tuesday. For Cosplay Stuff i think in Akihabara you can't go wrong

[hollow cedar]

For figurines and wallpapers would it best to get them at Akihabara or Ikebukuro?

[uneven ferry]

I would say in akihabara more, but also more expensive then in ikebukuro. just in my opinion

Don't forget to ask about tax free, if you are a visitor. You should take your passport with you and you will get 10% discount price in tokyo. But only if you buy things about 5000yen or more

[hollow cedar]

Okay, good to know

[modern marsh]

Can you get tax free anywhere or only places they habe those counters?

[uneven ferry]

what do you mean with "counters"? usually on shops which have more than one shop. like Donki, Muji or others. Small local shops i think not lot of them. also like big Consumer Electronics Shops like Bic Camera

[grave bobcat]

Give bro some water 💦

[dawn sparrow]

See this is why I'm bringing a whole 12 pack box of these with me

[earnest sundial]

The box says they do nothing

[dawn sparrow]

The box doesn't say anything about what they do

[earnest sundial]

“Do these things that will reduce a hangover and then drink this miracle potion”

They sell that stuff here

[dawn sparrow]

Neat

But I zbiotics is what I've used and trusted so I'm bringing em

[earnest sundial]

$108 for 12!?! They better fucking work

[dawn sparrow]

Always have for me! And like, VERY well. I have been out until 3 drinking the hard girly drinks all night and woke up to nothing more than a little extra grogginess

[runic horizon]

Yo

Im not dead

😂

Surprising

Last night was crazy

[mortal beacon]

I’ve heard this stuff works no cap https://zbiotics.com

Oh shit someone mentioned already

Didn’t catch up

[dawn sparrow]

Yuuuuup

I love that shit can attest

[mortal beacon]

Double the power

[dawn sparrow]

But like Stevie said that shit expensive

But worth it to me

[runic horizon]

I remember last night I was like take ALLLLL my coins

[dawn sparrow]

Hahahaha

[mortal beacon]

You able to bring it to Japan?

[dawn sparrow]

Yep I'm bringing a 12 pack

[runic horizon]

And someone said …these are all 1 cent

We need 1000 yen

😂

[mortal beacon]

Completely worth you get an entire day back. That’s worth a lot of money to me

[dawn sparrow]

I can't drink heavy too often so 12 should work for my three week trip

And yes I agree

[mortal beacon]

You mean 11 because you’ll sell me one 😜

[dawn sparrow]

Hopefully I'll get to party with some of you fun folks and I don't want to lose the next day

I got you fam

[mortal beacon]

😂 nah you keep it

Thanks though

I’m in a state right now where it’s unclear how hungover I’ll feel

[placid leaf]

Thanks for the shout, never knew about it lol

[earnest sundial]

Oh yeah? fr fr

[earnest sundial]

Drink less?

[mortal beacon]

I mean, that’s what I choose 99% of the time but it’s nice to have both

Trying to sneak food into my body without it freaking out from drinking last night

Ngl i meet some crazy people last night

Lets just say… the man in picture had a GREAT night

[summer imp]

Oh i know the spot super well, i watch their live streams all the time!! So i was just curious what it was like actually going, i appreciate the info a lot dude!!

Im super excited to check it out, I've followed some of the artists that perform there for a while now

If anyone likes indie games like Undertale and Hollow Knight and Yume Nikki aaaand a bunch others, im checking out this Fangamer collab cafe at the Gigo Shibuya in like a half hour or so

https://vxtwitter.com/GENDA_GiGO/status/1715276795870843076?s=19

[dire trellis]

You need to stop.

@frigid aspen @dusty torrent

[jaunty river]

I wish all the dark cyphers got along 🥲

[runic horizon]

Me too 😭

Literally have no idea who these people are 👀

[snow sun]

All 255 of them? That’s a big ask

[jaunty river]

Bold to assume that he is the last one

[snow sun]

You right you right. There could be legions

[slender raft]

You should definitely check it out then !

[runic horizon]

This is @dire trellis

[soft raptor]

Ngl Gun, the schoolyard bullying is kinda cringe

[pastel elm]

The onsen was good but I think I’m so dehydrated from all the alcohol I’ve left feeling woozy 😂
I

[devout merlin]

Hi everyone, about to board plane to tokyo. I will be there till 11/23 and then Osaka until December. First time going to Japan. If anyone is down for drinks or something I would love to join. Also will be arriving at like 5 AM so if anybody has a spot suggestion I should go to first for food after a 14 hour flight

[vagrant patio]

I'll be in osaka when you're there, Down to meet up for some drinks!

[hollow cedar]

I'll be back at Tokyo from 14th night until the 19th

[peak hound]

I'll be in Osaka as well from 12 afternoon to the 20th to end my trip.

[austere kindle]

What is that place? @vocal osprey

[peak hound]

I learned it's worth it to wait at some places 😆

[ripe mica]

@runic horizon I'm not dead too! Wahoo!!

[peak hound]

Drink a lot?

[ripe mica]

@pastel elm alive and still going !!

Drank but not nearly as much as karaoke night !!

[pastel elm]

I’m sure we can get a repeat when I’m back in Tokyo. 😂

[crystal aspen]

2 hours for onigiri?!?!? Whaaaat???

[placid leaf]

I heard you can order to go for that place on a video? Not sure, let us know how it is! May stop end of my trip

[ripe mica]

I'm down but...b. buuuut .. maybe....I won't drink this time 👉 👈

Aaa fuck it

[pastel elm]

Im in Hakone open air museum and I think I’ve just seen a sculpture depicting the future.

[ripe mica]

LOL

[real cliff]

Was it worth it?

[crystal aspen]

So, like, R U going to buy a f#%€-ton of onigiri to take with you now???

[peak hound]

😂😂🫡

[crystal aspen]

😳 Are they putting crack in their onigiri???

[ripe mica]

We were soooo worried man! After taking photos we tried to carry him to hotel

And then he plopped down didn't want to walk anymore

[still kestrel]

Hey yall I am like 4 days away. Equal parts nervous and excited lol. I enjoy reading yall's updates hope to meet everyone when I reach

[ripe mica]

So I went to a bar owner and explained the situation and he's like Daijobu japanese always do this LOL

[ripe mica]

Omg my friends love it, let me know if there's any cool souvenir ?

[crystal aspen]

And THEN what happened???

[ripe mica]

We just left him 😦 asking the bar tender to keep an eye on him

[frozen cedar]

Hi if you're not in Japan yet, please change to a role other than Visitor in Japan id:customize

[crystal aspen]

So your friend plopped on the floor at the bar/club?

Sounds like he didn’t want to leave!

[ripe mica]

Not a friend but we were chatting with his friends before they left him just laying in the street

[crystal aspen]

Jesus. Some friends they were!

[ripe mica]

Yeahhhh

I was surprised

[runic horizon]

Got it

[obsidian knoll]

This looks amazing. I think I saw on youtube vid you can pre order too xD

[remote grail]

Everyone still alive from last night ?

[ripe mica]

Yes! Going to Harajuku!!!

[dire garnet]

Good meeting up with you guys yesterday. Glad to see most of you are alive

I’ve managed to somehow give myself reflux one night into japan

[ripe mica]

Yeah had so much fun with you thank you for coming out !

[ripe mica]

Harajuku! Let's gooo

[runic horizon]

Idk of this was cheap but I couldn’t stop

[snow sun]

Gotta love rainbow rares

[unreal heron]

I don’t understand the whole waiting in line culture

Fucking why

For very specific things I get

But for food???

[frozen cedar]

Sheeple can't decide what to eat so they go for what everyone else is having

[unreal heron]

WAKE UP SHEEPLE.

[unreal heron]

I refuse. I don’t care if it’s the gates of heaven. I’m not waiting that long for something so unimportant.

3 hours dude. That’s the amount of time it took me to climb Mt. Misen

You wasted your already limited amount of time

Imho

Enough to explain yourself lol

Neato. If you got value out of it great. But I don’t see the value of it whatsoever.

I was in Fukuoka and there was this udon shop that had a line spanning out its door and partly down the street. I walked two blocks the opposite direction and waited for 5 minutes, ate, enjoyed myself and left. The same people who were waiting were still waiting.

[spiral seal]

I imagine the longer you wait, the hungrier you get, the better it will taste 🤣

[unreal heron]

The quicker you eat it and the less you can enjoy it

[spiral seal]

That's true

[unreal heron]

Plus the background pressure of “oh there’s so many people waiting to eat I shouldn’t take my time”

It’s a cop out

Luckily the majority of these people don’t die until they’re in their 90s so I guess they’ve got the time for it

[jovial bluff]

Anyone here tried Ce La Vi?

Checking out rooftop bar recs on Reddit, might add it to the stop list tonight!

[fierce grove]

That sounds great! do you have room for another? I'm looking to get food/drinks at some point later today.

[modern marsh]

There is an osaka thread for meeting up tonight

[austere frost]

It's so cold in Takayama 🥶

[obsidian knoll]

True, for first time experience, gotta do it for real. You inspire me, thanks - Im def gonna go xD

[obsidian knoll]

Heat tech!!!

Oh. Ok LOL

[modern marsh]

Lol almost booked to nights there yesterday. Stay in the onsen all day

[obsidian knoll]

Will do 🤣

[austere frost]

It's really nice and serene here. I like it a lot

Just a big temp drop from the past few days in Kyoto

[austere frost]

Already wearing it lol

Have my northface jacket on too 😂

[obsidian knoll]

Omg. I was just going to pack a rain jacket… now Im wondering.

[austere frost]

You should

[obsidian knoll]

Alright I’ll pack some heat tech and sweaters.

Im from Canada tho so used to the rain and cold.

[austere frost]

Lots of rain this week. But they do sell ponchos raincoats for 100 yen in convenient stores

So you should be fine

I'm from NY so cold is also normal but the sudden shift made my body go wtf? Went from 70F weather to 40F lol

[obsidian knoll]

Omg that is o.O

I think it has to do with Takayama. I was studying weather and Tokyo is warmer than Hakone.

[austere frost]

Yeah Takayama is further north

I think it said there's going to be rain/snow here the after tomorrow 😫

[unreal heron]

Bruhhhhh

Japan loves their lines

Even more so I love how normal they look

[slender raft]

They should at least do something with a ticket (physical or virtual) so you can go shopping in the meantime

[uneven ferry]

Btw: Happy Singles day 👀

[unreal heron]

Glad you made it

[frozen cedar]

Pocky Day in Japan

[boreal coral]

I’ll be back in Tokyo on the 13th-16th and I am desperate to have a proper karaoke night if anyone feels like joining me on this mission

[frigid pawn]

I'm in if it's on the 13th or 14th night

[mortal beacon]

I’m good on any night!

And yeah I haven’t karaoked once since arriving over two weeks ago. It’s time

[boreal coral]

I think realistically the 14th is best for me, would have to be after a sushi dinner res I have that should be done by 20:00ish, but could do 15th too if needed! I leave the 16th so no can do

Any recommended spots? Shinjuku ideal as that’s where I’m staying but I’m also down for wherever really as long as it’s easy to get to from there

[mortal beacon]

Habo recommended a good and cheap place in Sangenjaya that I am extremely biased toward because that’s where I’m staying 😇

Probably somewhere in shinjuku or Shibuya is better for y’all though

https://maps.app.goo.gl/tiq9gAYr9nVKUuw9A

[fresh pelican]

Might be able to make this - 14th is super open for us

I’ll have to ask my travel partner tho

[boreal coral]

This wouldn’t be terribly inconvenient from my dinner plans in ginza so not opposed! Will look into other spots tho in meantime

[slender raft]

Pepero in Korea !

[manic cloak]

whos in osaka

[mortal beacon]

I went a little nuts at design festa today. It’s continuing again tomorrow for anyone interested though I burnt out 😅 it’s huge. Was on my feet all day and couldn’t get to all of it (there’s a lot of Jewelery and accessories and some clothes but I was mostly checking out illustrators)

[mortal beacon]

There might be a separate Osaka thread

[short nova]

2 more days and i'll be in japan, last day in Hong Kong before flying out. decided to check the weather between here and japan and its definitely a lot cooler in Osaka and Sapporo 🤣 would love to meet people but dont really drink for long hours anymore. done with that life.

[uneven ferry]

ATTENTION

THIS IS FIRST AND FINAL CALL:

[remote grail]

?

[remote grail]

You land here yet ?

[uneven ferry]

Who want Swiss chocolate for free? will give it as present when i am next tuesday there. will give it on meet ups or people which already join by something. usually on nights i will going to join @ripe mica and theire crew

just say which kind of sorts you want, orange, dark, white, salty, caramel etc.

[uneven ferry]

ok i see its 11pm in tokyo and everyone are drunk since hours

anyway, i bought some and enough, its allways on my bag, will give it arround meet ups

[iron mason]

I'm super down for karaoke!! I can do the 13 or the 14

[iron mason]

And I want that chocolate hahaha. So I'm definitely meeting with you guys at some point

[weary palm]

THREE HOURS

[dawn sparrow]

Booooo

[soft raptor]

To be fair, this chat seems to be 95% DRINKDRINKDRINKDRINK

[unreal heron]

No way dude

What did you do for three hours

[snow sun]

Are you allowed to walk around Kyoto’s imperial palace ground freely or does it have to be a guided tour? If so then I know what I’m doing during the day

[vagrant patio]

How long are you there til? I don't get there until the 22nd 😦 😞

[uneven ferry]

@remote grail is this your brother? I am until 21th there. I can give your brother (?) one for you, when you arrive after 22th

[vagrant patio]

I am not his brother. I am traveling solo unfortunately 😔

[grave bobcat]

@uneven ferry oeh I want some Swiss chocolate!! 🍫 where can I claim mine hehe

[ripe mica]

You have same pfp lol

[soft raptor]

AND banner colour!

[modern marsh]

No tour needed. There are free tours though

[snow sun]

The website says they don’t do the tours on Sundays which is why I’m asking. Either way is fine

[modern marsh]

Audio guide app is available on site w/ qr code

[snow sun]

Sweet. I’ll go find it

[crimson spear]

I'm in Takayama too! Very glad I brought extra layers lol

[crimson spear]

Oh damn

Hostel from takayama. Same carpets lol

@austere frost and @vocal osprey what are y'alls plans for the day? I was gonna head up to hida no sato in a bit here, check it out and then see if I can do some craft stuff at the craft center next door to it if either of you are interested!
Not sure what time I'm heading out yet, still gotta have breakfast and get ready

[austere frost]

Morning

[austere frost]

Ohhh they have crafts? I think I'll head there too then

[crimson spear]

Yeah, apparently! And the website said you don't need a reservation or anything to get into one of the classes. Hang on I'll find it again

[austere frost]

The best part about the breakfast is the apples. Haven't really had any fruits since coming to Japan 😢

[hollow cedar]

Yours is nicer than mine. My breakfast is rice and furikake

[hollow cedar]

Dude you need to try some of the fresh oranges here

Delicious

[austere frost]

But that's also yummy

Awesome. I want to do some crafts. What time are you heading there?

[austere frost]

Is there a specific kind? I see a lot of oranges in stores but I'm solo and really don't want to buy a bunch haha

A little rain won't hurt 😏
I went up to see the monkey in the rain. 10/10 will do again

[hollow cedar]

I don’t know but they aren’t huge but they are more tangerineish in size.

Not the yuzu oranges although I like those.

[crimson spear]

Apparently it opens at 10am, so I was going to go to Hida no Sato at about 9 and then go to the craft center whenever I'm done 🙂

I'm not sure how long it'll take to walk around

[austere frost]

I'll probably do the same. Are you taking the Nohi Bus there?

I'm not sure how busses work here

[crimson spear]

My hostel is super close so I'm just walking over. I have a schedule for the bus, I'll drop it here for ya

Not sure how helpful it's gonna be cuz idk where any of the stops are 😅

Google maps might be a better bet tbh lol
I don't have a sim or data here so if you want I can just wait at my hostel for a bit and then meet you up there whenever the bus comes?

[austere frost]

No that's easy. It's on stop from the Nohi Bus center which is where I'll be going for it haha

Thanks!

[crimson spear]

No problem! What time are you thinking you'll get there?

[austere frost]

I'll attempt to catch the 9am bus

If not, I'll walk there

Actually, I won't be able to catch it 😭

[crimson spear]

Hahaha no worries!

[austere frost]

The next bus is at 9:45. It's a 40 min walk... maybe I'll just huff it

[crimson spear]

If you're walking from the direction of the bus terminal I think you'll have to go right by my hostel, I can just meet you on the road and we can walk the last 15 mins together?

[crimson spear]

@austere frost did u die

Ight lol I'm gonna head out, if you see me there come say hi! I'm wearing all black with a dark blue toque that says Yara on it 🙂

[austere frost]

Sorry, I Dmed you haha

[safe dock]

Going here if anyone is there or down lmk https://trx.jp/

A huge flea market ¯_(ツ)_/¯

At the oi racecourse

[rancid lynx]

I'm down to take a look see. When are you planning on heading down there?

[safe dock]

I’m headed there now but I’m still a ways away

[rancid lynx]

Cool, I'll start heading there now too

[sly wasp]

There is also an indie games expo in akihabara today!
https://digigame-expo.org/

[mortal beacon]

I really want to check out that flea market but it's soooo farrrr

[dire comet]

I don't know where to ask so here I am:
I was supposed to leave my huge suitcase to a coworker then leave Tokyo for few weeks but he is not answering - I need to leave Shibuya in 3 hours max

Do you know where I can store it and let my co-worker pick it up ?

[soft raptor]

You miiiight be able to leave it at the hotel and tell him all the details he needs to pick it up

Provided you even stayed at a hotel, considering the resident tag

[kindred portal]

Yamato it to him?

[runic horizon]

This coin is the most valuable coin in existence

[safe dock]

The flea market is free and worth it

[mortal beacon]

Yeah I’ll be there around 12

[ripe mica]

Dude you're there ? Raining ?

[rancid lynx]

just a lil

[austere frost]

Today's the last day

[hollow cedar]

Where's this at?

[short nova]

What’s the coin for 😮

[safe dock]

It’s sprinkling

I just left 🙈

[mortal beacon]

Aww I just got here. Almost

I have to walk around the keiba

No rain for me

[oblique grove]

2.7 stars? Why so lowly rated

[austere frost]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/KLLNdiAzFUAtfCio9

Here's my choice of lunch haha

[hollow wigeon]

Reviews in japan are a bit different. 3 = perfectly fine, 4 is above and beyond, 5 is really only given by non-natives

so 2.7 is still below i guess lol

[edgy birch]

Google reviews are mostly foreigners. Can be inflated or extra harsh if Chinese reviewers. . Tabelog is mostly Japanese. Very harsh. A 4 there is spectacular.

Check both to get a more accurate rating!

[austere frost]

Yeah, I usually jump onto Tabelog after Google to make sure it's actually decent

[lament mango]

I'm in takayama too, just finished eating at Chitose (yaki soba) it was pretty good

[queen breach]

Seen this place mentioned a few times

[austere frost]

My curry was yummy

And the music is a vibe

[modern marsh]

Still haven't had a proper izakaya any recs in tokyo? Anyone down to join?

[frozen cedar]

Shirubee my fave

I am going here tonight. It sold out but there have been a couple of last-minute cancellations so anyone who wants to slip in is welcome

[mortal beacon]

@ripe mica did you end up going to the festa?

[remote grail]

Where is it I'm looking at the website but can't find the address

[mortal beacon]

It’s too late I’d say at this point. Especially since it’s near odaiba park (I.e far)

https://maps.app.goo.gl/Qqrn8AeogEpCfBCV8?g_st=ic

[ripe mica]

What kind of stuff they sell?

[safe dock]

A wide variety of stuff.

[mortal beacon]

Lots of thrift clothes, some old antiques that mostly didn’t look great, some stuffed animals, a couple spots with figurines, some old school equipment stuff?

I bought like 7 Minecraft stuffed toys for my nephews for 2k yen

And a crappy backpack with charmander on it as a meme gift to a friend for 500yen

A lot of it is thrift store clothes

[rancid lynx]

Best soup with noodles I've had in a long time

[queen breach]

Hear you on that

[crimson spear]

Oh I wonder if they would let me use the same ticket from earlier....

[fading spruce]

There are a bunch of izakayas under the tracks at Yurakucho

[runic horizon]

Why? 😦

[swift beacon]

Hi everyone, anyone in Tokyo the 14th???

[gritty ember]

In December 2023, there is a Google sheet with days, places and posible meeting. Is there something similar for November meet up?

[rancid lynx]

If you check the pinned posts, I think you'll find what you're looking for

[dusty shore]

So is it fully online based? the paper thing at 9am wouldn’t work?

[fading spruce]

There are slots available for walk-ins

But you need to line up

[modern marsh]

Now one up for sake and izakaya someyime wiyhin the next 3 nights

In tokyo

[fading spruce]

The izakayas that I want to go to don't have English menus. If you're ok with rough translations, I'd be down

[modern marsh]

Im down!

That'd be awesome

[fading spruce]

I was looking at this place: https://maps.app.goo.gl/yxPWzBgrjQD1iEdPA

[knotty rampart]

Hi!! I’ll be in Tokyo from tomorrow solo. Would be keen to have people to do day trips or explore with. Im a photographer !

[gritty ember]

Until when are you going to stay?

[knotty rampart]

Until the 23rd

[gritty ember]

😦 I arrive on the 23rd

[knotty rampart]

damn !

[rancid lynx]

I'm a photographer too! Do you have locations in mind?

[glass sentinel]

can hang out on the 22nd in tokyo!

[glass sentinel]

are you leaving japan on 23rd or just tokyo?

[knotty rampart]

I have a mini list of places I’m keen to go - multiple spots around Fuji / fujiyoshida

Honestly I’m keen for any sort of day trips

[knotty rampart]

I might be meeting a friend Tuesday but I’ll let u know !!

I actually don’t rly have plans because I was cheated on mid trip. So I’ve had to re-plan my whole trip.

[kindred wigeon]

I'll land on the 21st, down to explore

[vagrant patio]

Same. Arrive 23rd

[gritty ember]

I'm arriving to Narita in the afternoon, you?

[gritty ember]

I arrive on the 23 also down to explore

[rancid lynx]

What usually is the best way to get to Fuji for day trips? I may sub it in for my day trip to Mt Takao

[knotty rampart]

I was keen on mt takao but the uptake in bear attacks has made me wary of mountains

They’re up like 150-200%

There’s super easy trains to fujiyoshida

Haven’t looked too much into other spots. Hakone is popular and I visited last time, definitely a great spot

[fading spruce]

I think bear bells + spray should be good enough to keep you safe from bears

[rancid lynx]

I was talking to someone who just recently went to Mt Takao; didn't hear any mentions of bears from them. So I think I'll take that risk

[rancid lynx]

What's a good place to go buy spray?

[fading spruce]

Most outdoor goods shops should carry it

Though you probably won't be able to bring it onto a plane since it's an aerosol

[glass sentinel]

sounds good!

[vagrant patio]

My flight gets in at 2:30 pm (14:30) to Narita. From there I'll be getting my pocket wifi and welcome suicia or Pasmo tourist card as well and arranging my luggage to be shipped to Kyoto before heading to my Hostel.

[obsidian knoll]

Sorry to hear what happened :/.

I’ll be going to Hakone Nov 21-23 and up for Fujiyoshida on the 21st or 23rd. That famous street is on my bucket list.

[oblique grove]

Dang I can't imagine. Well try not to let it ruin your trip. Plenty of things to see and do around here to keep your mind off of things! Make the best of it 😁

[stable monolith]

https://nightfly.tokyo/phone/index.html#top anyone familiar with this bar? Worth checking out?

[modern marsh]

@fading spruce solike evening? Around what timeish. Just so i can be in the area. Im in yokahima atm

[fading spruce]

Let's aim for sixish? If that's too early, I can try to make a reservation for a later time

We can also just switch to a different place if the wait time is too long

[gritty ember]

I'm arriving at the same time

[gritty ember]

Sorry to read that...hugs

[rancid lynx]

got room for one more for the Izakaya?

[fading spruce]

Of course

[wild cape]

Well fuck them

[soft raptor]

Like... are we talking travelling with the person and them doing it, or them doing it while you're gone... Cause if it's the latter, go have a great time with the other people here

[dire garnet]

Anyone doing any day time exploring today? I need a break from the drinks lol

[vagrant patio]

Oh cool. From where? I'm flying Zipair

[modern marsh]

Cool 6 it is

Is it cash only

[fading spruce]

No, but cash might be helpful when splitting the bill

[modern marsh]

Hai

[idle torrent]

I went mount takao but only did the easy route

[ripe mica]

I'm alive!!!!!

[idle torrent]

Zero bears/monkeys

[ripe mica]

Damn epic night

[wild cape]

Got home with a dead phone, slept past check out, but we made it out

[ripe mica]

Wahooooooo

Had a great time seeing you ❤️ but I forgot your name, so it's Wizard

Btw three of us are slytherins and one hufflepuff, cuuuute

[rancid lynx]

Found the golden turd

[ripe mica]

Did anyone happen to link up with that Swedish dude ?!??!

Dx

[wild cape]

I was slytherin in Hogwarts Legacy 👍🏻

[knotty rampart]

Thank you haha

[idle torrent]

There was a Swedish dude?

[knotty rampart]

Yeah, I was travelling with him. We had a month together planned and he was still being really affectionate. I’m stuck with his family until tomorrow …

When are you doing takao???

[wild cape]

Time to get out and get you a rebound, Lol

[crystal aspen]

Awk-ward.

[solemn trench]

I was, just got back to my hostel but am down if you are still out and about

[idle torrent]

@knotty rampart You should try mt takao Saturday

[knotty rampart]

I would rather get hit by a bus than touch anyone for a long time

[knotty rampart]

His family feels bad for me. It’s awkward

[idle torrent]

My local friend told me there’s a little festival going on

[knotty rampart]

Are you doing it then or is anyone?

[idle torrent]

I might be

[dire garnet]

I just arrived in cafe heaven, nakameguro

[idle torrent]

I have until 22nd with not much plan

[crystal aspen]

Good to know that his family also thinks he’s a POS. 😂

[dire garnet]

I’ll be walking around until maybe 6pm. Gotta get to ueno tonight

[idle torrent]

But I also went to takao a few days ago 🤣

[ripe mica]

Hehehe noice we are taking over

[idle torrent]

We just misunderstood slytherin

[knotty rampart]

Hahah well if anyone does want to do takao with me and will get bear bells etc I’d be interested !!!!! Lol

[idle torrent]

You planning on doing the easy route?

[ripe mica]

EMPAThy I divorced and bought a ticket to Japan no plans!!!

[idle torrent]

Trail 1 is simple and you still get to see a lot. A little crowded

[ripe mica]

You gotta have a blast with us and take awesome pics

We don't need them!

[solemn trench]

Could meet you in that area in an hour and a half? If that works

[ripe mica]

And I'm sorry it happened on this trip huggu

[dire garnet]

I defs can but i’ll probably have to leave 1.5 hours after if that’s cool

No pressure, i’ll be wandering around either way

[solemn trench]

Yea I ain’t got nothing going on lol

Will let you know when I’m close

[fading spruce]

I might go on Wednesday but I probably won't bring a bell

[knotty rampart]

Hell yeah

[idle torrent]

If I go no bell with me

[knotty rampart]

I am happy to do any route on takao, I’d just prefer to be in a group since I’m so scared of bears lol

[idle torrent]

But can have bell sound on my phone

[knotty rampart]

I have a friend who could possibly come Wednesday

[ripe mica]

If it's a day trip I'm interested in finding some nature !!

[knotty rampart]

I’m a hiker so I can do a harder route

I can do whatever

[ripe mica]

Need some zen time

Ooooh

[knotty rampart]

my photog Insta is T3mai.jpg if anyone wants to check it

Haven’t posted in a while

[ripe mica]

Adding tou

[knotty rampart]

I’m great for getting good pics hahahaha

My personal is @T3mai

[fading spruce]

Nice. I'm all for a harder route

As long as we're loud enough, it should be good enough to scare away the bears

[knotty rampart]

Btw pls tag me in msgs if they’re to me because im not in a great service area so my phone is bad at notifications haha

you think so???? Lol

[fading spruce]

That's what my friends tell me when hiking in the Rockies

Have yet to be attacked by a bear

[knotty rampart]

Haha well normally here it’s ok

It’s a freak thing

it’s been reported on Japanese news etc

most Japanese ppl ik aren’t hiking atm lol and so I cancelled most of my trip because I was told not to go

[idle torrent]

I say go the safe route

Easy and chill and if bear comes just be faster than the kid

[knotty rampart]

Yeah well I probs won’t do many other hikes but def keen to do takao in a group hahaha it was in my list

[idle torrent]

I say takao is a must but I think the foliage would look better later in the week

[cold garden]

Easy stuff

[idle torrent]

This is almost the perfect time

[ripe mica]

Girl you are such a queen! I can stalk your ex and kill him, just let me know I got you 😘

Or her

👉 👈

[idle torrent]

lol

[ripe mica]

@knotty rampart

[idle torrent]

Slytherin for sure

[sand crater]

I did takao trail 1 alone, there's a ton of ppl don't worry

[idle torrent]

Same. My group did it on Saturday

Really crowded

[knotty rampart]

Him sitting next to me rn 👁️ 👄 👁️

but thank you ♥️♥️

yeah maybe a weekday would be better then because of the crowds ????

[cold garden]

[idle torrent]

Yeah Wednesday would be less crowded for sure. Saturday would be during a festival too

[ripe mica]

He doesn't deserve to sit next to you sob saiteeeeeei

[fading spruce]

Yeah, that's partly why I picked Wednesday

[knotty rampart]

Hahahahaha we’re in the car

[cold garden]

Btw, people still up for warp tn?

[knotty rampart]

Alright let’s make a group!

[ripe mica]

I want to yeah but not sure when I'm coming to area

Hey, I wanted to see if I could join this tonight

[rancid lynx]

I'm planning on going to Mt Takao for Wednesday

[fading spruce]

Yeah, that should be fine. Though I might struggle with trying to do rough translations for a large group

[knotty rampart]

Sweet so sounds like there’s three of us so far haha

[modern marsh]

This sounds like a fun story.

[knotty rampart]

yeah, totally fun 🥲

[modern marsh]

We can google translate the menu and write down what we want before going in to make things easier

[knotty rampart]

[solemn trench]

All this talk about bear reminds me of safety training xD

Just gotta be with someone slower than you 🤣#/joke

[uneven ferry]

[ripe mica]

We need to hug and curse our exes

[knotty rampart]

[ripe mica]

@modern marsh @fading spruce I made a Google doc to (hopefully) make the translation easier based on the tabelog menu https://docs.google.com/document/d/106KDuYoGQGDKC0Ez4aAe41jmvic8xUnfy6hoh_spVsg/edit

[crystal aspen]

Is he Japanese?

[solemn trench]

Where u at my man, I’m by the main gate of the station

[uneven ferry]

just go and stay in a hotel, hostel or capsule hotel an idea?

[dire garnet]

Oh shit stay there. Lemme walk now, be there in 3 mins

[solemn trench]

Cool, I’m a white dude in a gray hoodie lol

[modern marsh]

Not down for that. I'd eat horse meat but not chicken sashimi.

[knotty rampart]

I would if they didn’t live in the middle of literal nowhere! They don’t even have convenience stores here

[modern marsh]

They have an all ou can eat and drink menu for ¥4,000 yen thats crazy

[modern sentinel]

The website insists it has been cooked to safety

[knotty rampart]

But I’m going to Tokyo tomorrow

[knotty rampart]

He’s half Japanese

[dire garnet]

Hmm alright im here i think

[modern sentinel]

Seems a little risky tho

[dire garnet]

Im in a blue top

[modern marsh]

Yeah. Too much to do. Dont want to get sick on last 3 days

[modern marsh]

Haha thanks that makes it easier to convert to romanji

You get the vip room to yourself the whole flight

[fading spruce]

It's good shit

[remote grail]

Aaaaaaaaaaaa

[ripe mica]

Lol how much is it !!

[remote grail]

Honestly no idea, I'll drop by a seven eleven when I finish packing and get it changed to notes

Maybe like 2k

[sand crater]

The 1¥ coins 😂

[remote grail]

I couldn't stack em, way too many coins lol

[sand crater]

Not that i used cash much back home, but 1¥ coins made me thankful that canada got rid of pennies

[near flint]

Pennies are so ugh

[quasi terrace]

Yo! Just scrolling through and seen this message. I'm finishing up a two month bike trip around Japan and have an unopened can of bear spray I thankfully haven't had to use. Happy to pass it on for like ¥1,000 or something (it's usually ¥8,000 or above I think)

[oblique grove]

Dude wtf do you do with the one yen coins lol

Haven't seen any vending machines that take them

[crystal aspen]

I’m planning on throwing mine into a donation box

[mortal beacon]

I can do Takao later this week but not Wednesday, in case anything changes

@boreal coral a wrench in karaoke plans, my Japanese friend from Osaka is coming all the way to Tokyo to hang out and Tuesday night is the only night that works for him. I told him about karaoke and he said he’d hang but not participate so I don’t know if it’ll work out for us to come. It’s possible but don’t plan around me. Other nights potentially work. I’m really really sorry!

[boreal coral]

If it’s any help I think my friend who I’m traveling with would tag along but not participate either, or I’m also down for Wednesday! Maybe can do a poll on here in a bit to see which night works best for the most people and go with that

[rancid lynx]

Thanks for the offer, but I think I'll forgo getting bear spray

[mortal beacon]

For sure he’s just going so out of his way to come here I don’t want to have him do something he doesn’t seem that jazzed about

[fading spruce]

You can spend it all at duty-free. They let you do partial payments in cash and cover the rest using your credit card

[boreal coral]

Alright calling all karaoke lovers in Tokyo! I’m trying to get folks together for a karaoke night this week either Tuesday 11/14 or Wednesday 11/15 — would be after 8 pm, probably around Shinjuku or somewhere else central/convenient. Please hit the 🎤 emoji if you can do Tuesday and the 🍻 if you can do Wednesday, and whichever gets the most votes by tomorrow morning we can do!

[unreal heron]

Cheating is fucking lame. And to do it mid trip what the fuck

[dawn sparrow]

Who's cheating on what?

[remote grail]
