#

Nice! Both Biei/Furano and Noboribetsu are great for a day trip I feel

#

In Noboribetsu the Daiichi Takimotokan has an INCREDIBLE onsen that you can enter with a day pass, if you have a spare 1.5 hours there with public transport and all I would recommend

desert flicker
#

anyway, i'm only a few days away from heading over to tokyo and my excitement (and slight anxiety) is starting to grow

fickle jungle
#

Those of you going to the venue tonight, are we all meeting before for curry?

slim valve
#

Oooh 👀 ill have to look into that

#

It’s like smack on top of the famous view there, so no additional transportation needed, just gotta make sure you’re good with the busses back

Needs an entire book

#

Let's write a collaborative book, guys

fickle jungle
#

I see entrance, I walk in entrance

icy quartz
#

I usually just try to find any entrance lol

#

Shinjuku station is boss level

fickle jungle
#

entering shinjuku station is easy

#

leaving is not

#

especially at night when they start closing off exits

icy quartz
#

Exit is so confusing

waxen lichen
#

As long as I find Kawasaki station I’m golden because my hotel is literally in the same complex

#

🤣

icy quartz
#

I think google maps makes it worse

waxen lichen
#

I’ve had some wonky gpsing trying to find card shops

#

Putting my pin all over the place

#

Suddenly I’m 1km from the place when I was 10m a second ago 🤣

steady trail
#

Google is so great but somehow at the same time, it sucks so bad

waxen lichen
#

It has been my best travel buddy in so many countries but yeah… sometimes it feels like it’s trying to guide you of a cliff somewhere

Going to kura sushi towards taito
