[pale charm]

Snack wants to be snacked on

[void creek]

Kinda insane

[void creek]

Perks of being good at what I do 🤷‍♂️

[tawny violet]

Kimityping

[fair latch]

Been out all day but if anyone still is down to meet around 9-10 to go out and drink or explore let me know haha

Going push myself for next day and then I’m done with Japan 😦

[pale charm]

[void creek]

You think so?

I haven’t seen them yet but I’ll go check it out

[vestal bridge]

In Ikebukuro rn apparently there’s a festival about to start

[pale charm]

Yes, go

[void creek]

They brought me to some weird alley way

And showed me a magazine of Japanese girls

🤔

[tawny violet]

[pale charm]

They probably think you need it

[sterile mesa]

Had an awesome time tonight hanging out with @glass bronze . If ya get the chance they are awesome to hang with and learn about Australia. I'll see ya in Tokyo!

[void creek]

They said they will give me shower

I said I’m fine I just showered

Weird not sure why they would sell help with showering

[remote epoch]

Been wandering Shinjuku/kabukicho, any groups form for tonight yet?

[frank needle]

Fucking mad lad
"I just showered" 🤣

[glass bronze]

Haha thanks for the walk and talk! See you in a few days 👋

[void creek]

Just realized how long it takes to unbox these 40 figures…

[sterile mesa]

Why do I hear boss music

[void creek]

Anyone want it I have two

[tardy lodge]

Try Radio Kaiken. (You might have to look pretty hard if you can’t speak Japanese tho.)

[tawny violet]

Might drink nightcap from 7/11 lol

[tawny violet]

THIS IS HILARIOUS

I’m dead

I had a nice night it was good 😊

[stone tundra]

FMA is pretty old, you might have better luck at Nakano Broadway

[junior grail]

Yeah

Git this there pretty cheap

[harsh fox]

Arriving tomorrow, excited to meet some of you all soon

[tardy lodge]

Japan about to get DUNKED on!!! 😂

[mild sedge]

Matsuri is tonight!!

#events message

Better than Golden Gai in every way I promise

[shrewd ravine]

Golden Gai eye roll

[mild sedge]

It’s not the worst. But it’s not the best

[shrewd ravine]

Yeah its just not my scene

I like quiet hotel bar/lounge types, quiet izakayas

The type of place people go after work to unwind in quiet solitude

Very lost in translation esque

[tardy lodge]

Had a fantastic time at Golden with two buddies on Sunday evening. We stayed til the bar closed at 5am. Would do all over again!

[shrewd ravine]

Haha, that does sound like fun

[tardy lodge]

Dude, it was blast! we were singing Karaoke, I got to DJ for almost 2 hours! There were some locals there too.

[shrewd ravine]

Oh god, I could never do karaoke

You'd have to pay me to be there

[tardy lodge]

Unfortunately the attractive Japanese woman sitting next to me was already married. 😂

@shrewd ravine About an hour before the bar closed 2 mexican chicks and several dudes from the US showed up. Within minutes the Mexican chicks were twerking up on the bartender. It was a wild night.

[shrewd ravine]

lol oh god

Definitely not my scene lol

I prefer to sit in silence and relax

[tardy lodge]

@shrewd ravine To each their own, friend. 🙂

[shrewd ravine]

I'm an introvert. I prefer quiet places (minus live music), with a nice non-alcoholic drink and some good food

[tardy lodge]

Jazz by any chance?

[shrewd ravine]

I also despise alcohol so I only drink when I'm required to

[shrewd ravine]

I do like a good jazz lounge

There's a good one I can recommend if you haven't been before

Its in Tokyo

[tardy lodge]

If we meetup circa April/May of next year, let’s hit up a Jazz lounge together…

After dinner of course!

[shrewd ravine]

Haha

[tardy lodge]

Feel free to DM me the rec

[shrewd ravine]

https://tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1306/A130602/13004790/

Its a jazz lounge/restaurant/bar

Expect to spend like 10-15k yen

[tardy lodge]

Kay

[shrewd ravine]

Another good one - https://www.google.com/maps/place/Jazz+SPOT+Intro/@35.7128908,139.7062758,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x0:0xebf6da7c4d851e45?sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiA4oq-6ICCAxW_JkQIHSStAwgQ_BJ6BAhMEAA&ved=2ahUKEwiA4oq-6ICCAxW_JkQIHSStAwgQ_BJ6BAhbEAg

Jazz spot intro is more my speed

Small and intimate

[eternal stratus]

Good morning ☀️ What’s everyone doing today??

[unreal schooner]

I just woke up! Mini jet lag victory. Heading for day trip to otaru

[eternal stratus]

Oh woww

Have fun!!

That’s a bit too far for me

[void creek]

Does anyone know if they sell those heat patches here

[vital robin]

Hey, curious if there’s anybody going to Tokyo Disney sea tomorrow? Thinking about going!

[void creek]

I think I extended some part of my leg

[tardy lodge]

Feel better soon, brother!

[void creek]

lmao hell naw I’m walking still

Push thru the pain

How bad will it hurt if I eat kebib in Takeshita

like I gotta go instantly if I eat it in America

[mild sedge]

This! #1139523063667507380 message

[keen jackal]

I'm recovering from an unexpected night of drinking if anyone is doing anything chill in the Shinjuku area.

[marble sleet]

Going to go get ramen at Hachigo if anyone wants to join. Probably hour+ wait

https://maps.app.goo.gl/iwqHA6Hv7W8LKgLp7?g_st=ic

[frank needle]

Last day in Japan, what are you up to?

[tardy lodge]

Hey, Marc. Have a good and safe trip home tomorrow!

[frank needle]

Thank you :3
Still can't believe 6 weeks passed so fast

[tardy lodge]

Time flies, brother.

[frank needle]

What have you been doing the past week ?

[tardy lodge]

Had a wild night at Golden Gai on Sunday. I’m currently in Naha, Okinawa.

[frank needle]

Thats far from the mainland. Anything specific over there?

[tardy lodge]

Yes. I’m here for a few very specific things… DMed you.

[keen jackal]

[frank needle]

It's even wrose than what you think...!!

Makes the things he did back in '99 seem morally okay.

[slender pilot]

You know that bar is able to be visited here?

[shrewd ravine]

yeah its the park hyatt hotel bar its on the top floor

If you don't know where you're going once you get to the hotel

Just ask them for the New York Bar

[eternal stratus]

Cool I’ll maybe see you there!

[mild sedge]

Be sure to reserve your ticket in advance to get ¥500 off

[eternal stratus]

I sent them a email for tickets

Not sure how it works

[mild sedge]

Oh then you’re good 👍🏻

[carmine gyro]

[unreal schooner]

Anyone else in otaru today?

[merry pebble]

It’s my last night in Osaka and had my sights on a high end cocktail bar called Nayuta. Probably just a drink or two and a light dinner for me tonight. If that sounds good I’d be happy to have company.

[carmine gyro]

That sounds good for me bro

[merry pebble]

Cool! Thinking 1800-2000 tonight. Can’t do too late, gotta head up to Nikko early tomorrow

I don’t know if there is a ton of seating there but could maybe take 1 more if anyone else wants to join

[cedar sparrow]

@frank needle sheeesh my dude still in japan im already back to work

[keen jackal]

Any fellow geeks fancy going to the final fantasy cafe?

[spring fern]

I did it yesterday! It was pretty cool, food is okay though

[keen jackal]

The Shinjuku one or Eorzea?

I should have been clearer lol, was thinking the Shinjuku shop Cafe thingy

[spring fern]

Ezorea in Osaka

[keen jackal]

I did Eorzea in Tokyo in 2019 and loved it despite its tackyness

[spring fern]

I heard the one for Shinjuku is way overpriced

[keen jackal]

Did that too in 2019 - it's touristy priced I'd say.

Still fun tho and the shop has some good stuff for FF fans and DQ fans

[stone tundra]

not currently in Japan but I've been there before
you should check out this chicken restaurant

https://maps.app.goo.gl/SAXgG6zjBmtpWJyt6

[void creek]

Shibuya taito station anyone

[frank needle]

Not for long though, I fly tomorrow 😄🛫

[unreal schooner]

Ah I walked past that chicken place. Ended up enjoying omakase. Sooo delicious

[tiny cliff]

@merry pebble @carmine gyro
My last night in Osaka too, can join you guys for dinner if there’s space. Since limited seating at the cocktail bar I’ll probably skip that 🙂 have my flight back home tmr . I’m near dontonburi now

[carmine gyro]

I’m fine with it

We need to choose a meetup place and a Time

[tiny cliff]

Kura sushi 😂 the signage is huge

[merry pebble]

@carmine gyro @tiny cliff sounds good. I’m up for pretty much anything for food. You want to meet at 1800?

[tiny cliff]

That’s just where to meet, happy with any food. 6pms good

[merry pebble]

Sounds good! @carmine gyro meet at Kura Sushi in Dotonbori at 1800?

[carmine gyro]

Ok 👌

[pastel island]

In Kyoto without plans this evening. If anyone is around let me know. I'm open.

Probably going to Kyoto beer lab

[sterile mesa]

I got no plans for this evenin as well. Would be down to meet up somewhere and chill. Not a big drinker but if u wanted to wouldnt bother me

[pastel island]

I'm going back to the hostel, but I'm free for dinner and beer lab. I don't mind something else, but do want to go to beer lab before I go haha

[slender pilot]

Am in Hiroshima if anyone else is down for a drink tonight.

[sterile mesa]

Have fun boss, we could meet some other time possibly

[kind crown]

I’d be down! Thinking of grabbing some food at around 7:30ish at Tokyu Curry

[slender pilot]

That's only 800m from me. I'll shoot you a DM

[merry pebble]

@carmine gyro @tiny cliff I’m here. I’m the lost looking American standing next to the big white blow up thing in front of the sign, white shirt, white shoes

[slender pilot]

You ghosting me?

[marble sleet]

Anyone is Tokyo for a beer or something?

[shut goblet]

In akihabara/asakusa from 8pm if anyone fancies a drink or visiting some wacky bar/cafes

[crimson vine]

Anybody got plans tonight? Im down to drink in shinjuku or akihabara

[stark blade]

I'm always up for food. 2 days of hangovers told me to slow down on drinking.

[frank needle]

#october message

Or at the same place but for free: #events message

[fair latch]

I just got in. Checked into the hotel. The language barrier is a little overwhelming

[mild sedge]

Yeah we’re going to Shimokitazawa. There’s a free gig

Starts very soon so get your skates on

[frank needle]

Sumimasen ==> Excuse me

That's 90% of what you'll need, according to @stable loom 😂
- source: I made it up

[crimson vine]

Saw the place at the map, its around 1 hour from where I am so Im gonna have to pass.

But if anybody wants to hang at around shinjuku or ueno im down

[stable loom]

I sumi’d my last masen already 😭

[frank needle]

🫡

[fair latch]

I'm by okachomachi station. If anyone wants a clueless drinking buddy

[pine maple]

The masen will be waiting for you to come back and sumi some more!. Ganbatte kudasai!

[pine maple]

summiasen (excuse me) + daijoubu (no problem/it's ok) will take you far

[eternal stratus]

It’s only 25 mins from shinjuku station

[crimson vine]

Im staying at tsukiji

[eternal stratus]

Ohh okay

I’m almost there

went to eat something first

[unreal schooner]

Since none of you are in Sapporo for beer consumption, I am forced to eat this delicious strawberry parfait by myself

[keen jackal]

Anyone in Shinjuku in about 30 mins or so for a bite n beverage?

[keen jackal]

Bumpity 👀

[stark blade]

I'll be back in Shinjuku soon. If you want to get food later i might be interested.

[keen jackal]

Yeah I'd be keen

Only just getting back now and not had dinner

[round badge]

I'm up for some food as well, give me a ping if you guys are actually going

[keen jackal]

Yeah im ready to go now, just dropped my bag off at my hotel

[round badge]

Right, I'll head to Shinjuku station then. Anywhere u guys wanna meet

[queen wigeon]

Yo, whats the whether like guys? Flying out to Tokyo tmr.

[keen jackal]

I'm in Kabukicho, where's convenient for you?

[keen jackal]

Warm in the day time. Tshirt weather generally

[round badge]

Oh ye I've gotta come to Shinjuku first lmao

Just tell me where

[queen wigeon]

Dang, I might bring too much warm clothes

[frank needle]

@keen jackal @round badge @stark blade at what time to you plan to eat? I might be interested as well, but can't make it too late

[stable loom]

I only brought tshirts and shorts. and one pair of pants that i never used.

[keen jackal]

I'm not up for big night or anything too, just a dinner maybe a chill drink.

[keen jackal]

In front of Toho Cinemas/Godzilla, then we can figure out food?

[round badge]

Good good ye, give me 20 ish min

[stark blade]

I'm about 10-15 away.

[tardy lodge]

No worries. It’s getting cooler now. Might even be cold soon.

[keen jackal]

@round badge @stark blade just let me know when 5 mins away and I'll leave my hotel

[frank needle]

I won't make it at all, too little time. Wish you guys a good night 🫡

[keen jackal]

See you next time!

[terse crow]

You can make it I believe

[stark blade]

At kabuchiko now.

[keen jackal]

I'll be there in 30 seconds

I'm outside the cinemas

[round badge]

Ok I'm almost at the cinema too, just walking down the street

[heavy fossil]

Hey y’all, first timer in Japan, if anyone wants to meet up my itinerary is in my bio! Oct 20 - Nov 4th

[hollow tundra]

sry to quote this now, but considering the osaka pub crawl, is it worth it?

[keen jackal]

I did it 6 months ago and loved it.
Did it two weeks ago and was meh.
Make of that what you will.

[hollow tundra]

Good to know 🤣

[heavy fossil]

Where did you find this one?

[hollow tundra]

saw it somewhere in this discord but forgott about it till now, so I checked old messages

[dull reef]

I have a question about this too! Do people usually eat at the first stop? 7pm seems super early to start drinking

[low nova]

Just arrived in Tokyo Haneda, where to go

[dim edge]

Is there a line group for october?

[bleak nexus]

@keen jackal can you leak the venues you went to on it? 😆

[terse crow]

Dnt think so

[mild sedge]

We stopped making new LINE groups every month because the group isn’t super huge like it used to be. So the last link still works

https://line.me/ti/g/Nt47E8udcv

[keen jackal]

Nah you gotta eat first, no food on the whole thing.

[keen jackal]

Voyager Lounge, second bar was crap, then some club place with a bar on ground floor.

[crimson vine]

How were you guys last night?

[keen jackal]

That msg was for Osaka, but if you're referring to me and the others in earlier msgs. We just did some dinner and a drink. Headed home ay 11:30ish

[crimson vine]

I see, hope you guys had fun

[keen jackal]

Was good and chill yeah

Now I'm figuring out breakfast. So hard to find in Japan.

[bleak nexus]

lol actually tho everywhere opens so late. Maybe bc they're also out drinking until 5am every day lmao

[keen jackal]

Yeah its a bitch, haha. Either Konbini, wander for ages looking for a local place, or Starbucks.

[dull reef]

Damn thanks! Saw this on the site (first stop is usually a cafe or bar restaurant) and dropped them emails to check but got no response. Guess we’ll have to eat early or grab a quick bite before joining

Pub Crawl Handbook (About the Bars)

Bar 1 (7:00pm ~ 8:15pm)
Usually a relaxed cafe or bar restaurant with space to sit down. Good environment for talking and getting to know each other. We will be doing a mixer/icebreaker here, so get ready to mingle! First shot will be handed out and done as a group. For those who are really thirsty, you'll have a chance to win a free drink right away.

[keen jackal]

Maybe Tokyo Crawl is different, but Osaka definitely not like that if it's at Voyager to start with.

[vestal bridge]

Planning on hanging out in Shimokitazawa later this afternoon before the Tricot show if anyone wants to meet up

[stark blade]

I hear there are some good curry places in Shimokitazawa, if you want a late lunch/early dinner, I'll probably be around.

[shrewd ravine]

Yup

Let me give you a few

@stark blade https://tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1318/A131802/13165636/

They have english menus

I strongly recommend you get the fried chicken addition

[mild sedge]

My fave https://maps.app.goo.gl/fjnse4fUSCSjbqmU6

Can be a queue so leave some time

[stark blade]

Have a look at MrT recommendations if something stands out for you let me know. They all look good.

[fair latch]

[summer depot]

Anyone in Kyoto rn?

[fair latch]

You rock, thanks!

[lost jetty]

what's your go to club in Tokyo? Any recommendations?

[mystic stone]

I dunno where to ask this. But can we bring vapes in japan? Lol

[mild sedge]

clubasia in Shibuya is the best balance of great music and club vibes

Most of the other Shibuya nightclubs are just hookup spots

If you really want to chase the local electronic music scene, look into:
Hatagaya Forest Limit, Asagaya Drift, Shimokitazawa Spread, Shibuya WWWβ, Shibuya Enter, Shibuya Circus, Shibuya clubasia, Ebisu Batica, Okubo Bacon, Aoyama Vent, Nakameguro solfa

[lost jetty]

that's... interesting 🤔

[lost jetty]

yoo.. thanks for this list!

[fair latch]

I'm gonna hit up Shibuya tonight, if anyone is around and down for a drink, let me know

[harsh fox]

[lost jetty]

[harsh fox]

@fair latch sounds good, ill be ready soon but itll take me around 30 mins to get there

[stark blade]

A few of us are planning to meet up in Shibuya at 8. Message @frank jetty if you can join.

[sterile mesa]

I would reccomend asking the train staff if you are unsure. Express to them the station you are trying to go to. Google translate can be really helpful with this

@queen wigeon https://tokyocheapo.com/travel/keisei-line-from-narita/

[crimson vine]

Hey guys is anyone going to this? I land this afternoon then gonna go. Looks a super fun crawl. It’s an air bnb experience https://www.airbnb.com/experiences/244355?scheduled_id=82509248

[tardy lodge]

😳 That’s an insanely large group to be “barhopping” with.

[stable loom]

Sounds fkn horrible tbh. Just being 3-4-5 people can be challenging finding a place that fits everyone most nights 😂

[vestal bridge]

King Brothers put on a great show last night, highly recommend. They’re playing a bunch of gigs this month

[tardy lodge]

I’m assuming it’s probably more like “club-hopping” on a bus or something.

[tardy lodge]

Oh shit, just reread the post and it does say “club” in there too so… 🤷🏻

[stable loom]

Who knows. Maybe he has some vip card that secures a spot for 60 people at every spot 😅

[heavy fossil]

Yeah you get free drinks at every bar too. It’s a really good deal and all the Airbnb reviews look legit

[carmine gyro]

Aha I’ve been there

[vestal bridge]

How’s Hakodate overall? Gonna be there in a week or so

[fair latch]

Anyone In Hiroshima?

[lost jetty]

anyone who's at warner bros studio tour in tokyo today?

[unreal schooner]

Not sure - this morning i ate at the seafood market and explored the fort. Waiting to go up to observatory. Weather is surprisingly exceptional today and i may go to this quasi (?) national park 30 min north. The mt hakodate skyway closes tomorrow for i think 2 weeks. Its a sleepy town relative to sapporo. There is an all day tram pass for 600¥

I am staying next to jr station - not sure where would be best to stay

Free internet at touristy areas!

Its wild how packed the streets are

[terse crow]

But not as crazy as Harry Razor prices! Harry razor the best razor you can buy. Link is in the description below 👇

[noble viper]

It’s crazier when a man in a grey suit starts swinging around a bicycle and stuff

[tardy lodge]

I’m a big fan of Harry razor. It has really changed my life!

[merry pebble]

Potentially looking to hit Bar Ishinohana or SG Club (high end cocktail bars) in Shibuya tonight for a couple cocktails. Guessing a big crew wouldn't work there but would be happy with 1 or 2 people to join.

[queen wigeon]

[unreal schooner]

I am heading to tokyo! Staying in shinjuju

Yessir, but I'll be going a bit later, closer to 8-9

You thinking about going clubbing by any chance?

[steep plank]

You planning on going solo too? I'd be keen to meet up

[keen jackal]

Was thinking we could hit that place you mentioned last night, then see how we feel and could go to Zero Tokyo - new place under Kabukicho Tower.

[dawn lintel]

Sounds like a solid plan then

[unreal schooner]

Just got on a local train to shinjuku. Need to check into hotel but up for food

[keen jackal]

No worries. Gabz will be by around 8:30 but can catch up whenever you're settled too

[unreal schooner]

It took mw 20 min from jr to find marun line. Will prob take 30 min to escape shinjuku station

Will msg you

ModReeves has spoken

[tardy lodge]

Just tryna be helpful. 🙂

[stable loom]

I tried too in the beginning but I learned it doesnt matter and people will hate you

so just leave it be 😛

[tardy lodge]

@stable loom Thanks for the advice. 🙏

[peak cosmos]

Little tip, after u walk through the grove, turn left, then follow the path downwards and then take a right and go down again for an amazing view of the riverbanks, you can thank me later 😎

@heavy fossil

[heavy fossil]

Oh hell yeah thank you!

[peak cosmos]

It added a lot of value to my arashiyama trip, hope u can find it!

[kind crown]

I also recommend walking over to this spot afterwards which will have much less tourists (no one was there when I went), there’s an entrance fee of 500 yen though but you can get some pretty sick pictures if you care about that

あだし野念仏寺 竹林の小径
https://maps.app.goo.gl/u9AUA4imV4RiusKV9?g_st=ic

[hollow tundra]

Is that from the entrance of the grove? Or from like the gardens at the end?

To check it out 😅

[peak cosmos]

At the end

[heavy fossil]

@peak cosmos this is great cause I’m specifically looking for rivers and waterfalls too

[hollow tundra]

👌👌

[royal garden]

Brunch anyone?

[unreal schooner]

Walked by this sign - otters???

[junior grail]

Thats just bad for the animals, only okay ones imo are cat and dog cafes

[unreal schooner]

Arent otters um a bit dangerous?

[junior grail]

Well, they are raised in captivity and grew up with people from a young age on.

[peak cosmos]

Fennecs!?!? Crazy

[junior grail]

Yeah Fennecs is really what is crazy

[unreal schooner]

Just googled - a type of fox? My brain interpreted that as a ferret

[unreal schooner]

At skytree in case anyone else here

[sterile mesa]

Nara = Kyoto with deer, change my mind

[mild sedge]

😐 The ancient capital
😎 The ancienter capital

[inner bison]

Anyone else get stuck due to the Keihan main line? Trains appear to have stopped working. Was on my way to Osaka too

[stark blade]

Anyone up for food tonight in Tokyo. I feel like something fancy, need to spend the rest of my cash.

[unreal schooner]

I would love to round up a group for izakaya sometime this week (since I have been traveling solo and no idea how to do that by myself).

[peak cosmos]

Im vibin in the kirby cafe

[unreal schooner]

Is that in skytree?

[peak cosmos]

Next to it

But i just ordered and its reservatin only so im gonna be jere a while 😭🤣

U going to the observation deck?

[unreal schooner]

Woah. Adorable. I love playing kirby with my kids. I suck at it. My youngest just keeps swallowing me.

[peak cosmos]

Theres a kirby store here too nearby @unreal schooner

U could check it out for ur kids msybe

[unreal schooner]

Nah. I have done that before and dont need to see tokyo from up high (though visibility seems great today)

Am i able to enter gift shop?

This is my second time to sumida. Last time inspired me to set up an aquarium

[peak cosmos]

Yes

Not sure where itd at

But if u google it

Its very very close here

[unreal schooner]

Np. It takes me sometimes 10 min even if google map claims 1 minute walk

Is it on the fourth floor?

[peak cosmos]

Idk i gotta fijd it myselfntoo @unreal schooner

Find

🤣🤣

[unreal schooner]

Oh i think its on the fourth floor but outside on the terraxe

I am on the 6th floor

[peak cosmos]

Im gonma go look for it after im done

Or well no

I got a skytree tickrt im goimg after that 🤣

[unreal schooner]

Oh sorry i thought you were looking for kirby cafe!

[peak cosmos]

Noo im eating but gl finding the store, i heard theres also a pokemon store/cafe close to it

[novel pollen]

They're shooting a movie in golden gai, but I got confused and thought they were trying to to lead me somewhere

[stark blade]

Bump. Anyone want to meet up for food later? I got a recommendation for a place in Asakusa, but anywhere will work.

[unreal schooner]

I am semi near there. What do you have in mind?

[kind crown]

A bit far from there, would be down somewhere around Shinjuku

[stark blade]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/UgMm5p2qErm9WWbV6

Mr T recommended this.

[unreal schooner]

What is a syokudo and teishoku restaurant?

I am probably game for this - i am still at aquarium and want to wander skytree mall a bit

[stark blade]

Shinjuku is easier for me too. Ive only got 2 days left in Japan so am trying to find nicer places to go.

[unreal schooner]

Google says 24 min walk for me or 16 min using a train including 13 min of walking

I am staying in shinjuku so eventually need to get back there but dont want to travel during rush hour

[kind crown]

I also leave in on the 25th lol, looks like we’re all staying around shinjuku though

[unreal schooner]

Currently resting

[stark blade]

If you know somewhere good in Shinjuku we can do that. I did walk through Shin-Okubo yesterday and saw a few good Korean BBQ places if that interests you.

Or we can ask the food thread for recommendations, whats your budget?

[kind crown]

I’d be down for that, don’t really have a budget as long we don’t get into a 20 course omakase

@unreal schooner what time you plan on getting back to Shinjuku?

[unreal schooner]

I dont know! Maybe by 8?

I am so enjoying solo travel.

Omg a tiny girl just said konichiwa to each of the fish

[fair latch]

If y'all are looking for a fancy cocktail bar. Bar IRIE right by Shibuya scramble. So dope

[unreal schooner]

Sam - are we giving up on Ashi and will find a place in Shinjuku?

[stark blade]

I can do either, but @kind crown and I are already in Shinjuku.

[unreal schooner]

Ok heading that way!!

[unreal schooner]

Ok took like 20 min to walk to train 🤷‍♂️

[kind crown]

@stark blade @unreal schooner what time you guys wanna meet? I’m down for whenever

[unreal schooner]

Maybe 8:30? I am about 5-6 stops l to Shinjuku. Did we decide on anything?

Oh i am almost there - 8:15 would be fine

Was mr t second rec a tonkatsu place?

[stark blade]

I'm walking around. Anytime is ok.

Tonkatsu closed today. MrT recommended a lamb place and a yakiniku place.

[unreal schooner]

I found the links on food, but it isnt opening. Lamb yakiniku sounds interesting! Try that as a first pick?

Guys, anyone else?

[unreal schooner]

I found my hotel!!!!

Omg finally found the floor to go to hotel.

[peak cosmos]

No sleepin in the lobby for u

[unreal schooner]

Ha in the lobby i couldnt even figure out where was the elevator to my room

I guess i only checked in last nught

[unreal schooner]

Ok where to meet you (and anyone else)

[kind crown]

I’m walking towards shinjuku station, will be there in about 15m

[unreal schooner]

I just escaped that station!!!

Meet there?

[stark blade]

I walked passed it earlier. It looks fancy enough to have a dress code, want to risk it? The no meat no life yakiniku is in kabuchiko near the godzilla statue.

[unreal schooner]

Hmm!

No meet no life also looks fine

And very close to me

Meet in front of toho cinema?

[stark blade]

Ok, about 5-10 away.

[kind crown]

I’m infront of toho cinema, white shoes and green-ish jacket

[unreal schooner]

Brt

[mystic stone]

Just landed! Hopefully i can sort the trains here lol

[fair latch]

@mystic stone Google makes it seamless. I only took one wrong train, and that was cause I wasn't really paying attention

[tiny stone]

Anyone available on the 24th tomorrow who is in kanazawa

Want to do shabu shabu but requires 2 ppl to get a table

Mizuhiki-tei

[noble viper]

Anyone in Shibuya? Let me buy you a drink

[dawn lintel]

Damn, would've taken you on that offer if I wasn't working on EU time 😭

[unreal schooner]

Ha!!!

[dawn lintel]

For sure going to try and finish around 11pm wednesday to friday

that way I can at least catch a train to go somewhere for drinks

[unreal schooner]

I am in shinjuku and ate dinner with people on here both tonight and last night. Shinjuku seems to be a popular gathering spot for this group. I will most likely need to eat dinner tomorrow night!

[dawn lintel]

Im down for morning/early afternoon activities during weekdays if anyone wants to do something tourism-wise

or midnight or so if someone wants to go for drinks/party

[unreal schooner]

I am going to try and see this tomorrow at 10

No idea if i needed to prebook a ticket

[queen vessel]

Hi there, I will be spending my Halloween time in Osaka, are some of you already meeting up to do stuff where I can join? 😊
It’s my first time traveling so I‘m looking forward to meet some people ✌🏼

[agile sinew]

Anyone down for some coffee/dessert tomorrow in Shinjuku ?

[unreal schooner]

Dinner tonight with the discord gang

[unreal schooner]

About when?

[agile sinew]

let's say around 3 or 4 pm ? But I'm pretty flexible

[unreal schooner]

I dont think i will be back from museum hopping in ueno

[agile sinew]

Let me know if you prefer another time ?

[unreal schooner]

I am staying in shinjuku - flying out friday late afternoon

[fair latch]

looks great! how much was it?

[unreal schooner]

6600 yen including unlimited drinks - as in 4 drinks or 6000 including just one drink

Includes soda/juice/tea/etc

[fair latch]

damn

thats pretty good actually

[unreal schooner]

Um also included beer, cocktails, wine, etc

[dawn lintel]

Where was it??

[unreal schooner]

It is a chain, but shinjuku

https://maps.app.goo.gl/bov7LU47Rj2NzzEHA?g_st=ic

[agile sinew]

I DMed you~

[north kestrel]

oooo how was kirby cafe? i hear the food is a lot better than pokemon cafe

[shrewd ravine]

Did you go there based on my recommendation?

[unreal schooner]

Yes! With sam and rull

[spiral finch]

Let me know if can walk-in 🙇🏻‍♀️

[tardy lodge]

How much???

[unreal schooner]

I am thinking going to an ueno museum at 9 and then trying later today. Will have another shot wed and friday

[shrewd ravine]

How was it?

[unreal schooner]

Fine! We did the lowest cost set menu and about half way i was getting concerned not enough food, but ended up fine (first courses were small bites but later courses larger cuts). Quality was fine. Not the greatest i have ate of this food, but a fun experience. Zero wait, private room, english menu, fun company

[shrewd ravine]

Yeah I wanted to make sure it was within a reasonable budget for you.

If you want the greatest, I can recommend something higher

but you may end up spending like $400 per person

[unreal schooner]

Oh Sam and I are on the older side so budget was a non issue

Food this trap has been surprisingly inexpensive (and this time no wife and two kids so x4 for cost)

[shrewd ravine]

Ahhh

Then go here

https://tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1308/A130801/13224635/

[unreal schooner]

Ha i have fulfilled my grilled meat quota

[shrewd ravine]

May need to make a reservation

[unreal schooner]

And i am on an anti reservation and queuing trip

[shrewd ravine]

Ahh gotcha

[unreal schooner]

There is a gyukaku a few blocks from my home

[shrewd ravine]

Well if you want another recommendation later, just hit me up

[unreal schooner]

Yes! Will try to round up people again tonight 🥳

Though is everyone canadian or australian???

[peak cosmos]

@north kestrel It was really fun, all of the staff greets you when you walk in and you cam take a pic with a giant spoon/fork with some kirby background, the surroundings were pretty, the music on point, the themed food that actually tasted really nice (i had the omurice and the kirby car dessert) the little cafe store attached to it with nice kirby cafe related merch, would def recommend going!! I was so full too (also had a small nacho sidedish and a greens drink)

[north kestrel]

yay this makes me excited! I managed to snag a reservation for Nov 2nd so I can't wait! im a huge kirby fan

[peak cosmos]

And a few steps further and theres another kirby store next to a pokemon store as well u can check out

[cunning furnace]

Yeah can confirm

Though i had the hot chocolate, parfait, sweet potato fries and kirby burger

[waxen bluff]

Anyone interested in doing something in Sapporo this evening?

[unreal schooner]

Ah! I was in Sapporo last week!

[mystic stone]

Aaah. First day in tokyo and i feel sick 😭 anyone near asakusa up for brunch or lunch?

[unreal schooner]

There is a much larger kirby merch store on 4F in skytree (also has some takeout kirby food)

[nocturne fox]

Anyone heading to Ginza today?

[waxen bluff]

Too bad! Let me get out my time machine real quick. 📺🍌

[unreal schooner]

Yeah i posted here last week. Seems like 95% in tokyo, osaka, kyoto

[spiral finch]

Okie

[waxen bluff]

That's been my impression as well. Any recommendations?

[spiral finch]

Get well soon ser

[mystic stone]

Thanks! Also a Ms. Lol

[unreal schooner]

I went to fantastic new AOAO museum in sapporo, ate a parfait, took a trip to otaru, bleh on sapporo museum, fish market for breakfast, climbed mount maruyama and checked out park and temple

[tardy lodge]

That sucks. Are you going to go the pharmacy to get some stuff?

[tardy lodge]

What's the weather like up there RN?

[unreal schooner]

I am in tokyo and its like perfect weather. Sapporo was cold as heck

[tardy lodge]

Oh shiz... when were you there again? Last week?

Like Saturday? How cold are we talking?

[north kestrel]

how was the monet exhibit @unreal schooner looking to buy tickets for it now

[balmy mulch]

I might be! I'm going to Hell Valley today and don't know when I'll be back yet though😅

Otherwise tomorrow as I don't have much planned then

[waxen bluff]

Thank you! I didn't even have the AOAO museum on my radar.

[unreal schooner]

It just opened!!!!

And open until 10pm!!

[waxen bluff]

I'm doing the opposite, so hell valley tomorrow. I'm currently in Otaru but will return in the afternoon. Feel free to hit me up when you know more.

[waxen bluff]

Right now it's really nice and sunny. Perfect light jacket weather.

[eternal portal]

Anyone down for grab lunch around the akihabra area? I'm coming up from Yokohama and should be there around 12-1pm

[mystic stone]

I have some medicines that i already took. Is it easy to buy vitamins? Probably need to boost my immune system.

[tardy lodge]

👍

[tardy lodge]

IDK about easy. How good is your Japanese?

@mystic stone Yeah, I think if maybe you bought some probiotics, maybe you'll feel better sooner.

[mystic stone]

Zero skills. Google translate?

Lol

[eternal portal]

@mystic stone hope you feel better soon!

[tardy lodge]

@unreal schooner said it was "cold as heck" when he was there so I'm just trying to get a better idea.

[unreal schooner]

Hey i just dm you with a restaurant rec

[mystic stone]

Thanks! I could meet you in akihabara if u like to have lunch?

[tardy lodge]

Like do you just have a stomach ache? Or is it other stuff?

[mystic stone]

Sore throat. I already took lozenges and paracetamol. I have berocca lol.

[eternal portal]

@mystic stone sure thing, I'll DM you when I get there. But don't push yourself if you're not feeling well!

[tardy lodge]

Okay. Yeah, sorry to hear that. Hopefully if you DO end up using Google Translate at the pharmacy, they can help you out.

[mystic stone]

I wont. But i dont want to waste my first day hahaha. Ive already slept so much. So should be fine.

[mystic stone]

I hope so too!

[tardy lodge]

Alright. Feel better soon! (And btw, don't forget to change your role to "Visitor In Japan")

[mystic stone]

Thanks. Hold on. Whats the role? Sorry 😭

[tardy lodge]

"Channels & Roles" channel - at the top of the list

[tardy lodge]

Role is mentioned in my previous message

[mystic stone]

Ohhh right. Done!

[tardy lodge]

👍

[dawn lintel]

What time were you guys planning on doing lunch at Asakusa?

I could potentially tag along - I just need to be back at Okubo station by 4pm

[shrewd ravine]

If you guys find yourself in Asakusa

I strongly recommend this quiet izakaya

The owner is Junji and he's great. Also speaks English.

https://tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1311/A131102/13194825/

The food is wonderful

They are also open till 1 AM

[glossy cape]

Tomorrow's my last night and was wondering if any plans for Izakaya or yakiniku were in the works. I'm on the Ueno/Asakusa side of town.

[mystic stone]

I stay in asakusa lol. But im already in the metro to akihabara to meet @eternal portal ? Lol

[mystic stone]

Ooh. Hopefully its close to my hotel. Is it fine eating there alone? Lol might try tonight?

[unreal schooner]

I would love izakaya! Seems like something difficult for solo consumption

[glossy cape]

Tonight or tomorrow night? Probably easier for me tomorrow once I'm done shopping and only have my leftover money.

[unreal schooner]

Ha! Ok lets target tomorrow night.

[shrewd ravine]

Yes you can eat there alone

If you're pretty hungry

I recommend getting the teishoku menu

and ordering off of that

I strongly recommend the fried chicken + kaarage set

He charges a 600 yen table charge but an appetizer is included

^ The set

I think the whole thing should be like 2500 yen with table charge

less than 3000 I believe

[unreal schooner]

Dm-ed you!

[mild sedge]

I'm going to see The Tomboys tonight, the girl band who are Japan's best rock n' roll performers https://heavysick.co.jp/cp-bin/wordpress/schedule/#event=76966726;instance=20231024190000?popup=1

[unreal schooner]

Emerald can you take lead? Is it possible to set a group chat?

[glossy cape]

Yah will do

I might be shit at discord but I think for a group chat off server I need to friend everyone? Or should I just make another thread?

[unreal schooner]
