[stable loom]

I just need to not forget to drop of any knives I buy tomorrow

😅

[wet ginkgo]

I think i found the serial killer guys

we’re 6 so theres 1 more

[stable loom]

I don’t need a knife for that 👀

Jk… everyone I’ve met in the last two weeks are still alive so you’re safe!

[wet ginkgo]

[median junco]

did you hear? he murders two weeks later... :

how scary is that?

[wet ginkgo]

his poison takes 2 agonizing weeks before it kills u

[stable loom]

That’s a Netflix show waiting to happen

[frank needle]

Why is everything happening when I'm not in Tokyo... wth 🥺

1. Habos birthday
2. Underground bands
3. 100 men meeting
4. A man downing 2 strong zeros within a short time

[median junco]

when I went to habo's BD, saw 3 interesting scenes on the way

[wet ginkgo]

4. Is gonna happen again tomorrow ive heard

[mild sedge]

hopefully no murders

[stable loom]

Hopefully

[median junco]

almost no murders

[odd glen]

I am sad I missed habos bday party. Sounded sick

[rich meteor]

almost

[wet ginkgo]

Okay maybe not 2, but 1 seems likely

[median junco]

yes it was cool

I lost my sense of smell for a day though

[wet ginkgo]

like… within margin of error amount of murders

[frank needle]

Who is this "no" and why does he want to murder someone?

[stable loom]

Smoking?

[median junco]

you can never know what happens around

[median junco]

yeah, well, bars are like that

[rich meteor]

Smoking in a bar is illegal in my country

[stable loom]

Nice. Can scrape the nicotine of your skin at night when you come home 🤣

[stable loom]

Same in Sweden. They tried smoking areas for a bit but yeah. It’s like having a pissing area in a pool. It spreads

[mild sedge]

It was fun. I have similar parties coming up this Sunday and on 4th Nov

[lost steeple]

You have 3 birthdays a year?

You are gonna age so fast 😢

[mild sedge]

Some years I have none you see

[odd glen]

He’s here for a good time not a long time

[odd glen]

I might roll through on Sunday then. Sounds fun

I’m gonna play tomorrow by ear. So don’t count on me but if I can make it I will

[median junco]

okay!

please drop a line if you come!

[stable loom]

Me and mushroom will stand with doge tomorrow at 19 and those taxi signs waiting for arriving travelers

[placid scaffold]

Man so many shows on the 8th to choose from

You spoil us Habo

[mild sedge]

Yes there are too many on that day for some reason

I found even more but didn't list them

[cunning furnace]

Well it is a sunday

[hot orbit]

Damnn sad I'm leaving on Friday :/

[frank needle]

@cunning furnace Wanna grab breakfast when you're awake at around 8:00?
Anyone else is in osaka who needs breakfast is welcome to join 🍳🍱

[cedar sparrow]

i will be in osaka on the 6th currently at kyoto

[frank needle]

I will return to kyoto tomorrow to finish visiting the main touristy spots. If you know some good restaurants (central-ish) and want to eat, let me know 🦣

[carmine gyro]

Some people Will be in Tokyo this week and would like to meet-up to do anything ?
It’s my first time in Japan so I’M hyped for everything

[desert iron]

I’m in Tokyo till the 7th. Need to go find breakfast

[shut loom]

Good ole Tsukiji in to team labs into akihabara today. Let me know if people want to tag along

Probably can’t tag along to team labs but we should be getting to Tsukiji around 8:45?

[wet ginkgo]

Think my plan is to go to Tsukiji as well in a bit ^-^

[desert iron]

My team labs is at 11:30 so I’ll be in around that time, then probably going through odaiba

[wet ginkgo]

Might be going to ginza or teamlabs after? Not sure ^-^

[shut loom]

Oh lol same schedule basically

Well at the market now

[wet ginkgo]

Well theyre close-by ish ^-^

[granite trout]

Does anyone in Kyoto this week want to do the Hozugawa River Boat Ride ?!!!

[delicate summit]

I didn’t expect to do this thinking it was too touristy, but ended up doing it and it was crazy awesome

[cunning furnace]

Lol i slept in

[frank needle]

I woke up at 6:30 to be there before opening at 8... slept again and woke up at 9:00. Lmao 💀

[frank jetty]

If there is some room I’d be happy to join. I can also look up for some nice space

If we’re many we can just go to torikizoku, there is multiple stores in shibuya and they have each tons of seats

[median junco]

Sure. Let’s skip chain izakayas, there’s a better stuff to do.

As it usually happens someone doesn’t come so I think we’ll be 4 or 5 in the end

[patent notch]

Thanks for the rec! I may not have the energy tomorrow. I just landed a few hours ago and am completely wiped 💀

[mild sedge]

Okay, I have more recs for Friday, Saturday, and Sunday so lmk if any of those days work

Welcome 👋🏻

Update your role to ‘visitor in Japan’ id:customize

[patent notch]

Thanks! I was doing an airbnb experience saturday night for drinks and karaoke but am winging it Friday and Sunday!

[granite trout]

The boat ride? That’s what I was thinking.. but it seems like a good experience!

[frank jetty]

Could you create a group conversation on discord with anyone interested ? I have a bunch of good choices of izakayas in shibuya, that way we can discuss it internally

[desert iron]

Anyone around odaiba? I’m hitting up teamlab in a bit and will probably go check the gundam and whatever else out while I’m out here

[bold patrol]

I’m potentially interested in the shibuya meet up tonight 👋🏼 I’ll check in later tonight… if there are too many people, that’s OK

[cunning shadow]

Heading back to tokyo, will be around shinjuku

[delicate summit]

Small worlds isn’t too expensive and was pretty neat if you like that sort of thing. Very detailed exhibits. I found a ticket on a third party site for about $13 US

[desert iron]

Do you remember the site? Tickets are 2700 yen. Not bad but not $13

[delicate summit]

Pretty sure agoda

If you go, fill out the scavenger thing if they are still doing that. Chance for some free stuff.

[shut loom]

Heading to akihabara for the better part of the day

Team labs was fun!

[odd glen]

Just saw this. Was at tsukiji at the same time. Did that into art aquarium into eating at a mall in ginza

[wet ginkgo]

Lol was just at tsukiji abt to head into art aquarium

[pine maple]

Has anyone checked out this place? https://soranews24.com/2023/08/12/neo-shinjuku-atsushi-new-cyberpunk-restaurant-bar-serves-post-apocalyptic-food-in-tokyo/

[desert iron]

Team labs is nuts

[odd glen]

Lmaoooo place was super sick

[wet ginkgo]

That was… damn

I was a bit hesitant to go… but damn

Can absolutely recommend it. Its so pretty. Can also recommend standing around each artwork for a bit to see the color changes on it

[shut loom]

Oh nice! Haha we are all Tsukiji today. I really liked the beef intestine bowl there

I only really had eel as a fish option there

[wet ginkgo]

Mhm havent tried it, is it that good? ^-^ Am a newbie so just had some unagi, expensive/quality sushi, ice cream, and such

[shut loom]

It was really good. Like really tender and the sauce was good

Definitely hard to approach haha

My girlfriend suggested it and I had to do it

Was worth it

[wet ginkgo]

Ah nice, fair fair ^-^ Maybe ill have the balls to try it next time then xD

[shut loom]

Honestly it felt like everything was good to try. Definitely missed some stuff but like didn’t feel like I missed out if that makes sense.

Next time I’ll spend more time in the lines for the ice cream or get their earlier for the tamago stuff

[desert iron]

Anyone up for hitting the New York bar tonight? Not a fan of the cover charge but I’ve been meaning to go for a while. I’ll probably be there around 8 depending on when dinner ends

[cunning furnace]

At usj

[lost steeple]

Anyone in tokyo up for some yakiniku around 5pm?

Ideally nearish to tokyo station or asakusa but I can go further

[desert iron]

Getting wagyu tongue at 6

[fast bough]

Hi there! Me and some friends will be in Japan for Oct 5th- 14th, Tokyo 5-8 Osaka 9-11 Tokyo 12-14 If anyone is trynna meet up, we're also planning on attending the bar crawl in Tokyo the 7th (Osaka Pending)

[nocturne fox]

Anyone down for a photoshoot and just walking around in Shibuya tonight?

[uneven yarrow]

Did you find places to buy knives? I'm looking for some shops XD

[light lily]

Oooo is there space for one more? 😄

[stable loom]

Found them on gmaps but haven’t visited them yet

Heading over to one of them soon. But first Nintendo

[shut loom]

At taito station in the rhythm game floor. Holy shit I have much to learn

These kids are like shredding these games smh

I thought I was good doing like advanced

I can’t even react to some of the patterns for like the level 12

[stable loom]

Shameful

[shut loom]

I just tried to expect holy shit

Expert

[desert iron]

Hmm people meeting up tomorrow for drinks? 🤔

[median junco]

Hello! Thank you for your interest. While we surely won’t refuse you if you come, it’s getting harder to get into the restos with more people, so I’m afraid we could not accommodate any more people. 🥹 I’m sorry!

[desert iron]

The group sounded like it was getting too big to successfully hit most spots

[wet ginkgo]

I mean… we could make it 2 seperate groups if ppl want that?

Like instead of 8ppl, 2x 4

so no one is left out, idk tho ‘^-^

[harsh river]

Hi all, I'll be travelling to Japan for 5 weeks Oct 17-Nov 20. I have 2/5 weeks planned. 1 Tokyo, 1 Osaka - this will cover October for me. see you!

[median junco]

That looks accommodating but it defeats the whole purpose of meeting up 🤓

Still it’s a trade off solution if it’s getting too big

[frank jetty]

I can lead a second group if needed, I know my way around shibuya 🙂

I was initially recommending torikizoku because it can receive larger groups, but if you want something less cheapish then there is definitely better options

[median junco]

Make a parallel meet up then. That will work the best I think.

If someone from this or your group feels like joining the second party that will be a nice bonus too

[frank jetty]

Ok, so anyone who’s interested in going out in shibuya feel free to hit me up directly, we’ll organize it internally so we don’t make a mess out of this chat 😅

[wet ginkgo]

Was just offering it incase ppl wanted that ‘^^
then next day/time u can mix up the groups or not. Idk xD

[mild sedge]

If only I had an event recommendation for tonight 🥲

I have ones for every day Wed-Sun this week

[odd glen]

I mean hubs always open 😂

[stable loom]

It’s a little bit scary that habo san(do) doesn’t have an event every single day 😅

[mild sedge]

To make up for it there's far too many on Sunday

[stable loom]

Hub doesn’t discriminate 💪🏻

However it’s not the most exciting place to be 🤣

[delicate summit]

Wish I could extend my trip to make more live events

[stable loom]

When are you leaving?

[light lily]

Thx for organizing!

[delicate summit]

Tomorrow

[carmine gyro]

Maybe tomorrow for me if you are still interested

[stable loom]

Damn. My condolences

I have 5 days left. I’m ready tho. Miss my cats so I’m fine with it 😂

[delicate summit]

If I didn’t have to get back for something I probably would have tried to extend 😫

[stable loom]

Adulting is boring sometimes

[patent notch]

Definitely appreciate everyone organizing! I’m jetlagged right now but excited to meet up sometime this week!

[stable loom]

There are always people around looking for beer and company. You’ll be fine after battling your jetlag 💪🏻

I wasn’t going to do any more meetups but I’m weak 🤣

This is the last one. Promise 🙄

Ok I’m done sooner than expected with the spots I was checking out before the mushroom-meetup. Gonna walk around a bit and see if I find a pre-beer beer.

[median junco]

Try to walk on your two legs before meeting up

[stable loom]

It takes quite a few beers for me to start crawling 👍🏻

[odd glen]

Meet up is in an hour or two?

[stable loom]

45 mins

Sharp

No exceptions 👀

[median junco]

On 19:00.🕖 strict

[rich meteor]

I fully walked to the station and then realised i wasnt wearing my glasses

"Why is everything blurry"

[wet ginkgo]

oh god im gonna have to find my way through shibuya st

[rich meteor]

U can do it

[stable loom]

Where you at? Back at the hotel?

[rich meteor]

Omw

I'm not close to Shibuya, so I'm on the subway

[stable loom]

I’m at megadonki

Scouting for souvenirs

[tardy lodge]

Hey, what's this meetup in Shibuya all about?

[stable loom]

Beer

[odd glen]

How many strong zeros deep are you

[stable loom]

And being social

[median junco]

Being a decent human being first of all

[tardy lodge]

@stable loomBro, are you back from Osaka now?

[median junco]

Wear tuxedos

[stable loom]

That was a few days ago. Left earlier

[median junco]

I faxed invitations a month ago

[stable loom]

Guess some people forgot their mobile fax when they grabbed their wifi

[tardy lodge]

@stable loom Should I come down to Shibuya RN? 😆

[rich meteor]

I took a train that says it's going the right direction but it was the wrong track. Should be fine

[median junco]

Train’s fault ☺️

[tardy lodge]

@rich meteor where are you and @stable loom meeting up at?

[bold patrol]

There’s a bunch of us meeting at Hachiko. We have 2 groups. If team @median junco is full you can come with team @frank jetty

[wet ginkgo]

^ ^-^ i think. Dont quote me on it tho

[frank jetty]

We still have a few spots left in our group, just hit me up on discord if you wanna join 🙂

[tardy lodge]

If I get to Hachiko in an hour, will that be okay?

I'm still in my hotel atm

[stable loom]

I’ll be at doge in 10ish minutes

[frank jetty]

Ofc, I’ll let you know where we’re at

[stable loom]

[odd glen]

I’ll consider it a blessing I can pull out my phone

[rich meteor]

Im near some weird man with a hat

[wet ginkgo]

I have successfully made it to hachiko square 🙏

[tardy lodge]

If it's going to take me ~ 1 hr to get to Shibuya, should I still head to Hachiko or somewhere else? LMK.

[rich meteor]

Where are you

[wet ginkgo]

Dont think theyll stray too far from shibuya ^-^

[wet ginkgo]

Uhhhh

Foreigner looking dude

xD

[rich meteor]

[frank jetty]

We’re actually meeting now, so I’ll let you know where we’re at

[wet ginkgo]

We are all together

[median junco]

Don’t you see me?

[cedar sparrow]

[median junco]

Yeah me too

[rich meteor]

Some drunk guy has walked up to us

[median junco]

It’s like bitcoin, super hyped up

[cedar sparrow]

like every gaijin has to take a picture of it

i spent 20 mins watching ppl crossing shibuya scramble that was actually interesting

[shrewd ravine]

lol

[median junco]

Anyway do you see mushroom in a weird black and white t-shirt l?

[shrewd ravine]

lol I always roll my eyes when I go to shibuya and see Hachiko

and then the literally hundreds of tourists filming the scramble crossing

and I'm like

"Fuck you all, get out of my way, I need to get to my fucking fruit parlor"

"I want my shine muscat parfait"

[median junco]

@stable loom you alive?

[rich meteor]

We are all here

[cunning furnace]

Had fun at usj

[tardy lodge]

@rich meteor let me know where you guys are heading once you know

[mild sedge]

Big group in Shibuya right now but it sounds like their table is full

[cedar sparrow]

[eternal stratus]

[visual gyro]

In shinjuku just landed earlier

Headed towards kabakicho

Anyone down to walk around and see what this place has to offer?

[rigid chasm]

[tardy lodge]

@stable loom are you with @median junco RN? If so, where U guys at?

[tardy lodge]

[desert iron]

The deep is in Ginza but shows start at 7

[eternal stratus]

Oh hey sorry I just saw this

I guess it’s too late

[scarlet kestrel]

Hmm indeed, and it will close in 1 and half hour 😦
thx for the information

I am heading to Mixology salon in Ginza if anyone want to try some tea based cocktails 🙂

[desert iron]

I’m too fried or I’d join you. I think my feet are about to cut themselves off 😂

[shut loom]

Hope everyone has a great night!!! You all look so lovey

[stable loom]

We’re having fun! What are you and the mötley crüe doing?

[shut loom]

We were at akihabara for most of the day. We just got back and now grabbing some dinner near okubo station where our Airbnb is

Miss you guys 😦 but my feet are so fucking dead. I literally am struggling to walk

[tardy lodge]

It’s not too late unless the jazz performances are over.

[proud saffron]

Hi all, I'll be back in Tokyo (after 3 days at the begining of my trip) Oct 4-10. I'm 26M from Israel, would love to explore the city together and maybe some nightlife as well. Hmu

[stable loom]

Join up with me and Will for knife hunting tomorrow maybe? 😄

[odd glen]

We just ran some pachinko

[eternal stratus]

ooh haha

yeahh but i think ill try to join something tomorrow

[void creek]

Is pachinko fun? I walked into a place and my ear drums were gonna die

@odd glen

[odd glen]

I honestly have no fucking clue lmaoooo

I had no idea what was going on just kept turning the knob

[bold patrol]

Pachinko IMO was fun. I lost 2000 yen in about 30-40 minutes and the whole time I felt I was on the verge of walking away a millionaire

At one point a Japanese man put balls in my machine and turned the knob for me so I wouldn’t screw up the bonus

I kept expecting to recognize something within the game but it was constantly new minigames within minigames for the whole time. I have no idea what happened but I had fun. Happily we had @frank jetty who helped us translate the staff. Staff was super nice and gave us an English pamphlet of how to lose money

[shut loom]

Where are you guys going knife hunting?

[spare blaze]

I'll be arriving tomorrow afternoon if you wanna grab food/drinks tomorrow night

[wet ginkgo]

Woah whos that pretty guy with the black hair? :o XDDD

[void creek]

That’s me

I’m the guy

[wet ginkgo]

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm idk chief

[tawny violet]

This sounds fun I want to lose money

[bold patrol]

@tawny violet bring earplugs

[tardy lodge]

@median junco where is this bar we’re going to again?

[tawny violet]

oh I know hahahaha i have seen them but I was always scared by the noise

[median junco]

Enjoy! House

[tawny violet]

@bold patrol how are you supposed to win??

like u collect the balls

And then supposedly the balls you redeem for cash

but the machine spits out only few balls if any right

[bold patrol]

So they pushed us to the lower floor where 1 ball = 1 yen. I suspect that the low stake games have low payout percentages, similar to slots in the US where low limit slots have the worst odds, but easier to play longer.

[tawny violet]

ah

[bold patrol]

Once you’re done playing, you get an IC card from the machine and take it to the counter

[tawny violet]

oh hahaha its not the kind with the balls stacked on boxes of balls??

[native grotto]

We can but I'll be quite late back in Kyoto. I have a baseball game at 6 Pm in Osaka

If youre up to lets do it

[tawny violet]

all digital?

[bold patrol]

The balls get stored digitally on your card and then I guess you cash out at the counter

[tawny violet]

nice

i assume u walked away with 0

[bold patrol]

I didn’t get that far 🤣

[tawny violet]

Hahaha

lmaooo

i feel like I’d want to try the high payout and see if someone would help me like you had

lol

The idea of a japanese man coming over to turn the knob so I don’t lose my bonus bc I’m dumb foreigner is hilarious to me

[bold patrol]

Yeah apparently I was supposed to aim where I hadn’t been aiming before. I’m very thankful he helped

I mean, even if I spoke Japanese I don’t think I would’ve understood

[tawny violet]

lmaooo aim?? There is skill??

hahahah omg

[bold patrol]

Skill is a bit of an overstatement

Basically you have to “interact” every so often. For most of the time you just hold the lever in place

[nocturne fox]

You guys had a meet up in Shibuya and no one replied to me 😭

[void creek]

I’m down for a photo shoot when I get there 😂

[old charm]

I may be down if you’re still there after the 13th LOL

[nocturne fox]

I’m here till November, no worries lol

Lmk when you wanna do it

[frank jetty]

Hitting a karaoke in around an hour or so, lmk if you wanna join 🎤

There’s like 5 of us

[cunning furnace]

Heading to Fukuoka tomorrow

[shrewd ravine]

Make sure you get some Tonkatsu ramen while you're down there

If you have a car, there's an absolutely amazing food spot I went

and a wonderful bakery further south from Hakata

[cunning furnace]

Yeah my Seto Pass only covers the Shinkansen to Hakata, no other jr lines

Forgot if i can use the local jr lines from kokura to Hakata on that pass though

Link me it and i'll see if i can squeeze it in say on Thursday or something

Only staying for a night

Plus i have Kirby Cafe as a after lunch thing

@shrewd ravine

[shrewd ravine]

ah fun fun

[cunning furnace]

Maybe 2 days 1 night, but i have to make it back to Aioi for my rental/hotel

Speaking of, i need to reserve said rental

[tardy lodge]

@wet ginkgo @median junco @rich meteor @stable loom Literally taking the LAST train back to my hotel. Missed the 2nd last train by <20 seconds

[tardy lodge]

Yo! Pass those recs along to me, broheim! 😁

[wet ginkgo]

Mmmhm is think id prefer okay-tipsy multiple days, rather than absolutely smashed few days tho

[stable loom]

I’ll find my way home some way 😂

[rich meteor]

Noooooo. Maybe I'll be in the US in ike 2026 but not for a long time. But you got back to the hotel safely??

[light lily]

[rich meteor]

I hope everyone gets back to their hotel safely

[light lily]

DMed u

[wet ginkgo]

[frank needle]

[rich meteor]

@tardy lodge were you able to get into a walking distance from your hotel?

[wet ginkgo]

stronkzer O?

[stable loom]

I don’t know how this is going to end but I’m hanging with these Japanese locals and I’m just going with it 😂

[wet ginkgo]

Sounds like a good time, no need to end it xD

[stable loom]

I have no idea where I am right now

🤣

[tardy lodge]

Yes. TY for your concern. Made it back to my room… going out for Indian cuisine RN.

[rich meteor]

Enough charge on your phone?

@median junco also alive?

[stable loom]

Yes! 50% on phone and 100% on powerbank! 💪🏻 I’m like max 5000 yen taxi away from “home”

It’s fine

I’ve met some half shady dudes now tho 👀

[rich meteor]

Im about to fall asleep, someone make sure mushroom is still alive

👌👌

[stable loom]

He answered me 40 minutes ago

So he was alive 40 minutes ago atleast 😂

Someone told me I’m partying with gokudo. Is that like anime native stuff or what?

[median junco]

Yes, soon to be in futon 🍄 🛏️

Good night everybody 💤 it’s tome to sleep 😴

[stable loom]

Ok… I think gokudo is slang for yakuza . I’m drinking with some very muscular Japanese dudes

They are nice

@tardy lodge if I don’t respond tomorrow please tell my mother I love her 😂🤣

[noble viper]

Gokudo is what the yakuza call themselves, isn't it?

[shrewd ravine]

Yakuza typically leave foreigners alone unless you explicitly doing something you shouldn't be doing

Just be wary of going with them to any bars 😄

[tardy lodge]

@rich meteor Please send me the group photo that those two nice Japanese girls took of us on the bridge when you get a chance. 🙂

[stable loom]

I’m drinking with them. No worries here 👌🏻

[shrewd ravine]

Yeah I had that experience once

Was hanging out with a friend and we started hanging out with 2 yakuza guys

They were really chill and friendly (to us) and we went along with them to various places.

I thought it was sketch, but we didn't have to spend any money all night

It was odd but I didn't question it

[stable loom]

This guy just offered me and some random girl a ride to my hotel in his Porsche

He looks like an anime character

Ima say yes

If I die

I’ll die in japan 😍

[lusty tangle]

[nocturne fox]

Bro i swear on my life

I saw a Ferrari parked in Shibuya

I asked the owner if i can get a ride

He politely declined

heartbroken, i said no problem arigato gozaimasu

[stable loom]

Ok. Back at my hotel. This dude (not saying he’s yakuza but not saying he isn’t) took me on a high speed run in his Porschefrom Shibuya to shinjuku and then to my hotel at Takanawa

We went into a konbini and he was like “buy what you want !”

Water and onigiri pls

He wanted me to buy more for sure… now I’m at my hotel

Wild night

Nn

[tawny violet]

sounds fucking amazing

lmao

I’d love to do the high speed driving tbh

[fair latch]

[shrewd ravine]

Depends where i am

[desert iron]

Heading over to Meiji jingu

[shrewd ravine]

There are two good ones in shinjuku

Takano fruit parlor

[uneven yarrow]

Yes Shinjuku please 😄

[shrewd ravine]

The other is this one but I think takano is better

Shinjuku Takano Fruits Parlor
[phone]

https://g.co/kgs/kiUhyh

Shibuya Nishimura Fruit Parlor Dogenzaka Shop
[phone]

https://g.co/kgs/TyKi56

Sorry this is in shibuya

[uneven yarrow]

Thanks!

[shrewd ravine]

If you go to takano

Get the pear parfait one

[uneven yarrow]

Ok, any other recs from Takano? I can probably buy like 3 or 4 (kids will probably want their own same for the wife XD)

oh man thats dangerously close to my hotel....

[shrewd ravine]

They also do a fantastic afternoon tea

[uneven yarrow]

Nice.

Hows the mango? The photo looks good.

[shrewd ravine]

Mango was also really good

But the pear truly stood out

They are about 2000-2500 yen each

[shrewd ravine]

Ooh one second

https://takano.jp/parlour/originalmenu/detail/fruitstiara/

This is also good

[uneven yarrow]

I feel like I should just go where you eat in general lol

[shrewd ravine]

You can try muskmelon parfait

Takano is pretty big so it’s easier to get seated

The ambiance is nice

Staff and service is impeccable

And they take credit cards

[scarlet kestrel]

Was up for some knife hunting also but I will do that tomorrow 😦
@desert iron Mixology salon was my best cocktail experience so far in Japan (not the best place but best cocktails), you should try it 🙂

[desert iron]

I saw you mention they were tea-based. Any idea if they were caffeinated?

[scarlet kestrel]

Hmm probably, but since they infuse it in alcohol I don't know what happen to caffein :/
I am not used to caffein but it did not stopped me from sleeping well 🤝

[wet ginkgo]

Thinking ill head to akihabara in a bit. If anyone wants to join up for some walking, windowshopping/actual shopping and maybe some food, the company is very welcomed ^-^

Also will be heading later to asakusa, and then shinjuku in the evening

[patent notch]

I’m getting lunch soon but will be heading to Akiba around 1ish if you want to meet up @wet ginkgo

[wet ginkgo]

Im down ^-^ dm me when ur in the area/almost in the area

[median junco]

It’s so kold today 🥶

[patent notch]

Sounds good 👌

[wet ginkgo]

Its raining over here :(

[tardy lodge]

In a week and a half it went from being hot as hell to cold! 😝

[terse spear]

This is what I like to hear

https://tenor.com/view/snowday-snow-dancing-dance-move-gif-15694468

[waxen bluff]

Is anyone interested in hanging out around Shinjuku this evening? I (31M from Germany) just landed yesterday so I have no idea where to go but I'm sure we will figure something out. I don't drink but absolutely don't mind if you do.

[cunning furnace]

@shrewd ravine im in Fukuoka rn but i got my kirby cafe in a couple hours

[shrewd ravine]

Have fun

Get some tonkatsu ramen

[cunning furnace]

At 2:10 so i have to be by canal by about 1:45

[shrewd ravine]

If you don't know where, just head for the canal city shopping mall and head for the ramen floor

Oh

Since the cafe and ramen floor are in the same mall

If you want some ramen, head there

[cunning furnace]

Yeah but i wanna try other places

[shrewd ravine]

Ah okay gotcha

[cunning furnace]

Plus Yatai stall in the evening

Maube i'll hit that tomorrow, cause i had udon yesterday

Well also its not even open till tomorrow anyways

Ima probably hit here first

https://maps.app.goo.gl/xbmEYvr1hSsmKXkH8

Then canal till my reservation, then move to the city museum and such

[shrewd ravine]

There's a yatai place I really wanted to go to

but the wait was too long

at least 1 hour

@cunning furnace https://www.instagram.com/yataichezremy/

I'm not usually one for youtube popular palces, but this place was charming - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qZHAYYvSJIk&t

[cunning furnace]

Moreso looking for a ramen yatai stall but i guess i'll look around

All of them are still roughly in the same cluster right by the water front right?

[shrewd ravine]

Yeah

I didn't do any yatai while in Fukuoka

I should have, but I'll save it for next trip

@cunning furnace I did hit up a pretty damn good sushi place for cheap near the waterfront

[cunning furnace]

Theres no purchase/yen minimum i have to hit right?

Im still a bit hesitant on sashimi

[shrewd ravine]

No, let me figure out what it was...

[shrewd ravine]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/jQJKoZgpFuVhjq4U6?g_st=ic

[pale charm]

How cold? Under 65F?

[cunning furnace]

That aint cold, thats shorts weather

[shrewd ravine]

I think all of that was $10 or less

Its viking style (buffet style)

[median junco]

19 degrees in shibuya today

[shrewd ravine]

So they have an area where there's lots of sushi already prepared

and you grab what you want

Quality is quite good and its pretty cheap

Its right on the water

[shrewd ravine]

Sounds perfect

[cunning furnace]

That sounds heavenly compared to when i first landed in Japan

[uneven yarrow]

whats the temp?bOh nvm just saw

[shrewd ravine]

lol yeah I saw people dying when it was like 90 F in Tokyo

"I need an umbrella and a fan, its too hot...."

[cunning furnace]

Me who brought hoodies

[shrewd ravine]

lol I was wearing a full wool suit and dress shoes for most of those days 😄

"I did 25,000 steps today in dress shoes and a full suit in 95 F weather. Hah"

95 F wasn't too bad for me when I landed

but I was coming from Texas where it was 117 F with higher levels of humidity

So compared to Texas, Tokyo was fine

[pine maple]

I spent years going to Japan for business trips when suits were required. I've sweated my ass off in the humidity so many times. So happy to be doing this one as a vacation in October.

[cunning furnace]

Now ive been exclusively using a nike trackesque syit

[pine maple]

But I'm a wimp from CA where we are totally spoiled with weather

[cunning furnace]

Vancouver weather is hot, but its not also like water drenched air

[shrewd ravine]

lol yeah I was there on a business trip

Suit required

but most days I just wore jeans or some comfy pants and a polo

[pine maple]

the move is to get the short sleeve dress shirts that you can only find in Asia. Nobody knows you're wearing them under your suit

Plus you look super cool when you take your jacket off at the end of day with short sleeves and a tie

[shrewd ravine]

lol

[rich meteor]

Very ambitious, seeing as I just crawled out of bed for breakfast. It's also raining today

[median junco]

Going to be a beautiful weather tomorrow afternoon if we believe the forecast.

[rich meteor]

Then that would be a better plan

[wet ginkgo]

Its not raining anymore, atleast in akihabara

Nice weather imo, tho im danish so i wouldnt know what good weather is xD

[median junco]

Back home we say that if it’s not pouring it’s already a nice weather. The twist is that if it’s pouring snow it’s still a nice weather.

[peak cosmos]

Was nice meeting you ! @signal oriole goodluck w your shoppin 😎

[desert iron]

Today was great 🙂 little misty in the morning but that’s it. Beats the warmer days

[peak cosmos]

I kept asking japanese shopowners

For shorts

They thought i was crazy

"Cold cold no shorts"

Its still warm for me idk xD

[signal oriole]

It was fun I'm heading to the hotel myself now lol

[peak cosmos]

Nice im stoppping by Kura for some late lunch sushi

[signal oriole]

Nice

I'm going to be showering and lazing around might go and do my laundry so I can see how everything will fit in the suitcase

[peak cosmos]

Ye im gettin tired too from All the walking and shopping

Think ill move meiji jingu plans to tomorrow

[wet ginkgo]

Yesss agreed

[signal oriole]

Uh oh I think I lost one of the room keys at the last store we visited 💀 could've sworn I had it but when I checked all my pockets I couldn't find it, might've fallen out in the changing room. Wish I had checked for it whike I was there hut the whole time I thought it was in my left shirt pocket where I originally had it

[peak cosmos]

Omgg shit

What now? Did ur hotel give u spare keys? @signal oriole

[signal oriole]

Replaced the lost one, grandma got irritated but honestly I wouldn't've lost it if I didn't have to keep playing 20 questions with her :/

[dense kraken]

Anyone going to the baseball game tonight at Meiji Jinju Stadium?

[waxen bluff]

That would be great! How does 8pm sound? I still want to check out the lights at New Otani Garden once it's a little darker but I don't mind joining later if you already want to grab something to eat earlier.

[waxen bluff]

Okay, see you there!

[fossil lintel]

Hey, can I join you guys too?

[peak cosmos]

Anyone going to omoide yokocho tonight???

[stable loom]

Shiiiiet. I’m dead. Im not drinking a drop more of alcohol for the rest of my Japan visit. Thanks for yesterday people. Good times 💪🏻

[wet ginkgo]

I may be able to yah ^-^
Only thing is i havent since 11, so might need sustenance soon xD

[median junco]

Welcome back. Alcohol allergy sucks, it does. But pocari sweat helps!

[stable loom]

Yeah. My only real allergy as it turns out 😂

[peak cosmos]

@cobalt fern im down to join!

Im going to drop off stuff at my hotel first

[cunning furnace]

No one in Fukuoka tonight?

Bout to head out

[wet ginkgo]

We can all eat smt at shinjuku mby?

[peak cosmos]

[wet ginkgo]

Hmmm ah frick i live 30 mins from shinjuku now

[peak cosmos]

Ah cool, ye im walkon towards kabukicho now where my hot3ls at

[wet ginkgo]

[wet ginkgo]

[odd glen]

Hey where are you going to eat? I was planning on eating soon as well but I don’t think I can look at alcohol right now without getting nauseous lmao

[rich meteor]

Get you one of those liver drinks

[wet ginkgo]

Isnt that the same thing im doing at 8? ‘^-^ im confused

[stable loom]

Im gonna buy one of each drink/jelly/paste/enema they have at 7/11

[wet ginkgo]

…. Enema?

[rich meteor]

Enema??

[wet ginkgo]

hmmmmm cant say ive tried that one

[stable loom]

It was a joke 😅

[timid widget]

Anyone like to climb here and down to climb sometime this week? Probably just at Bpump Ogikubo or Akihabara?

[wet ginkgo]

This is for meetups not hookups! xDD

[rich meteor]

Not sure I have that on my grocery list either, but everyone's different

[wet ginkgo]

(jk ofc)

[wet ginkgo]

I mean…. Definitely an experience?

[median junco]

I read it five times and still 🧐

[wet ginkgo]

Btw anyone wanna go to the final fantasy cafe tomorrow? ^-^ akihabara

[rich meteor]

I got this jelly thing. It was nice

[timid widget]

Haha I mean indoor bouldering!

[fossil lintel]

So, the meetup is at 19:15 now?

[median junco]

This looks better than the usual kombini banana packages

Never seen them before

[fossil lintel]

Sorry for not answering , I was walking to my hotel

[rich meteor]

7/11 had it

[wet ginkgo]

19:15 seems to be for food, while 20 is general shinjuku things

Idk where to eat tho :o

[fossil lintel]

Sign me up, I’m up for both

Have no idea about where to eat though

Maybe some yakitori?

[stable loom]

I suggest you walk from place to place and see which place can hold all of you

That’s probably more easy then going to a specific place and seeing it’s full etc

[peak cosmos]

Sounds good

[median junco]

If you’re still deciding check out this https://www.google.com/maps/place/〒151-0063+Tokyo,+Shibuya+City,+Tomigaya,+1+Chome−3−12+サンシティ富ヶ谷店+1F+餃子の福包+代々木八幡店/@35.669411,139.6891083,20z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x6018f34b7a6b739f:0x3137cdd46a220f0c!8m2!3d35.6693359!4d139.6890449!16s%2Fg%2F11b6gf4p5f

It’s wild gyoza

[stable loom]

Was low key expecting you to link them the enjoy house 🤣

[peak cosmos]

Sounds fun do you think a non experienced climber can do this?

[median junco]

No, I don’t take completely random people there 😎

[peak cosmos]

I was planning on going to Akihabara on friday so if youre going too i'm down to go climb

[odd glen]

I think I might just get sushi actually but this is near omoide yokocho and the reviews say it’s good for the price

[peak cosmos]

@timid widget

[stable loom]

@tardy lodge did you go out and hunt for knives?

[median junco]

Btw try onyasai

It’s vegetables, it’s shabu shabu and it’s reasonable

[tardy lodge]

I did not, bro. I was hoping that would be bonding experience between you and I. 😁

[stable loom]

Haha… sorry to disappoint 😅

[scarlet kestrel]

I ll head to trader vic for 1 drink then go to bar miyako, both near Minato/Shibuya
If anyone want to join feel free to do so 🙂
Cocktails again, the first is about Tiki and the 2nd should be James Bond related in a way

[tardy lodge]

No worries. You had an *EPIC * night last night. And you also gave me an early heads up that you probably weren't going to make it.

If you decide to go over the next few days, let me know tho...

Later in the day works best for me

[wet ginkgo]

Lol

So what happened with those 9am maids people? xD think it was @stable loom ?

[stable loom]

Did I mention maids? I don’t remember a lot 😅 Anyway. No more drinking for me. I need to buy stuff now

[wet ginkgo]

Maybe @tardy lodge then? The maids that wake yall up every morning

Wasnt it you saltyapple? :o

[stable loom]

Oooh. Housekeeping

I thought you meant like maid cafe or something 🤣

[wet ginkgo]

Did they get u again? xd

[wet ginkgo]

Nahh

[stable loom]

No memory of going to one of those

[wet ginkgo]

Repressed memory

[stable loom]

But no they didn’t wake me up today. However I got a message on my TV saying they will clean my room tomorrow between 10-12 because it’s policy 😅

[median junco]

In your hotel TV is watching You 👀

[stable loom]

There’s probably 7 different cameras in here

[median junco]

wat

[stable loom]

Haha jk

But yeah I’ll be awake before then and just let them clean while I’m out.

[peak cosmos]

I shopped like

The entire day

Damn lol

[timid widget]

Ooo I might be down! Or Saturday? I’m going to day trip to hakone tomorrow but I’ll come back Friday morning sometime in just not entirely sure of the time 😦 you can dm me and we can figure out if we’ll be there the same time

[peak cosmos]

Yeah saturday works for me too I only have an event at 11 pm that day so should be fine! Let's wait it out and see when you'll be back Friday @timid widget

[tardy lodge]

[wet ginkgo]

Atleast here near akihabara, its soooo bad

[eternal stratus]

[patent notch]

It was terrible navigating the subway and the rain getting back from akiba to shinjuku. I feel like I made it out of a war

[cunning furnace]

Good thing im all the way in Fukuoka

[patent notch]

5pm afterwork subway hours are crazy. You learn personally what a sardine feels like

[cunning furnace]

Me with a large bag and luggage

Not today

Im all the way in Fukuoka

[rich meteor]

Great haul

[peak cosmos]

Thankss!

[cunning furnace]

Doing 1 last callout

Going out for some yatai stalls in Fukuoka

Any suggestions?

[rich meteor]

Also I know an APA wall when I see one. Show your fridge content

[peak cosmos]

Hahaha empty so far!! Arrived yesterday @rich meteor 🤣

[wet ginkgo]

Empty apa fridge gang 😎

ngl idk what id keep it in, when convenience stores are open 24/7 and vendingmachines are everywhere ‘^-^ maybe emergency redbull?

[stable loom]

Needs atleast 2-3 half empty cans in there

[wet ginkgo]

[spare blaze]

Where the Osaka gang at tho

[wet ginkgo]

looking for B15 rn ‘^-^ xD

[fossil lintel]

How do you understand which exit is which?

[wet ginkgo]

u dont

[median junco]

There’s a number outside

But B15 sounds like “JR office in Shinjuku”

Just share your location on WhatsApp or something

[stable loom]

Easy mistake. It’s not like people has been talking about what a shitty meetup spot shinjuku is 😅

[wet ginkgo]

This uniqlo?

[median junco]

That’s the one I think

[wet ginkgo]

Jroffice in tokyo st thank u xD

Imagine you reincarnate as a vending machine but all you vend is all the underwear you ever wore in your previous life.

For some guys, that's like two pairs

Sold out quickly.

[shut loom]

I will provide water and other electrolytes

[signal oriole]

If I were a vending machine not only would I be empty I'd probably be rusted :d

[rich meteor]

[hollow tundra]

Hi everyone, I'm arriving in Tokyo on the 31st,~~ is there a Halloween meetup thread (seen one, but there's like 4 comments 😅 ) or some posts with interesting things to do that day?~~ Nvm, got it 😅

[frank jetty]

Hey guys. I'm planning to go to teamlab on this weekend, I'm quite flexible about the day/time. Would anyone be interested ? Btw I'm half japanese so I can help you around in Odaiba as well.

[tardy lodge]

Did U have a day in mind?

[carmine gyro]

I would be interested by going to teamlabs also

[frank jetty]

any day is fine for me. I was thinking of seeing if there is any preference for anyone

[tardy lodge]

I believe there are events going on at a venue near Teamlabs all weekend culminating with a music festival featuring Fatboy Slim on Monday.

[hollow lantern]

I already have teamlabs ticket booked for 9am this Saturday, I can catch you there if you plan to go Odaiba around the same timing.

[frank jetty]

oof, 9am might be a bit early for me 😅 especially because I'm going prolly out on friday night

[hollow lantern]

Haha understandable , I only booked it that early to avoid crowd 😆, we can still meet later if you are around. Will be exploring Odaiba after that.

[frank jetty]

Honestly if I were not going out the might before I’d be in even early morning. But yeah, I’ll check with the others and will let you know 🙂

[carmine gyro]

If you go in the afternoon it’s very crowded ?

[odd glen]

I’m going next Monday at 9am

[frank jetty]

It’s almost always crowded, but they only sell a limited amount of tickets per time slot to keep it restricted

But earliest in the morning you’ll prolly have less crowd

[carmine gyro]

Ok nice

I can go with you saturday or sunday as you want

[shut loom]

Ofc I gotta recognize the goat

[frank jetty]

actually I think I will join @odd glen then, those who pref saturday you can try to go with @hollow lantern :):

[frank jetty]

In case anyone is interested, I will walk around in Shinjuku this afternoon for some shopping/exploring, feel free to join 😄

[delicate summit]

if you need a break at any point, you could stop inside a cafe/bar i found on my trip near the station: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ucJeW8Sc7spxbeFNA

have made friends with a lot of people that frequent there, and the owner (Yone) is super nice even though he spoke limited English. he only works three days a week though i think 🙂

[shrewd ravine]

Make sure you wear shorts

or pants that roll up a lot

Pants should roll up to your knees

[peak cosmos]

I mean teamlab in tokyo is popular

But what about osaka one

Im going there too but ive not heard anyone go there

[carmine gyro]

Thanks I Will wear shorts then

[shrewd ravine]

There are water portions of teamlabs

so you will have water coming up to like your shins or mid leg

be careful not to drop your phone too

[terse spear]

And wear underwear.

Mirror floor

🫣

[tawny violet]

Or not

😏
