I just came from there thanks!
Since it‘s my birthday today I was wondering if somebody would like to join me for dinner tonight in Kyoto?
I am participating at a tea ceremony till around 6:15, so i would say around 7pm 🙂
Anyone up for drinks tonight in Tokyo? Shinjuku area preferably! Or if not, any recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
Im arriving afternoon! But have fun!
Something might be happening here #1190113636425941022
does hostelworld do meetups?
I'm down
Where are you planning for dinner?
Kinda, they have a thing called “linkups” but they also open up group chats w everyone in the city, another for the hostel etc. Mainly met people through that
Cool feature
Not planned anything yet. Open for everything, or just walk a little bit and find a nice place. So if you know a nice place, feel free to let me know 🙂 I am located near Karasuma Oike but i can go elsewhere, no problem 🙂
Amazing thanks a lot!
Cool let’s! Hope a lot are also down!
Sounds good!
@near basalt I‘ll send you a friend request and will write you before my tea ceremony 🙂
Feel free to bring more people if you want.
I'm down!
I might also be down! Happy birthday btw! 🙂
Would love to! It’s my birthday on the 7th so we can celebrate together 😁
Heading to Tokyo Jan 17-20, travelling solo and enjoy nightlife, food, beer and having a great time. Shoot me a dm, beers are on me for any locals.
the worst word to hear when you're trying to organise something is 'might'
@atomic whale @acoustic flower Sounds great! I‘ll send you a fr as well!
You guys have an idea for a good meeting spot?
Idk tbh im new to kyoto. Im leaving at 11pm tho
I‘m sure we‘ll find something 🙂
But depends on what we want to do
Would be down for some dinner also, let me know if you guys have something planned
Tokyo gang I'm gonna go check out this build your own curry bread place, anyone interested?
@acoustic flower @near basalt @atomic whale @summer garnet
I just randomly picked a 7/11 for a meet-up spot. From there on we have near endless possibilities heading to south.
Everyone ok with that or is this too far for someone?
Any vegetarians or vegans?
Food-wise I am up for whatever. Still so much too explore here 
Yes!!!
That’s really close to my hostel!
When are you planning to go?
Anyone wants to meet up now? Im free all day to go around
Sounds good!
I’m free now too, I was thinking of going to Heian Shrine
But open to doing anything
I'd love to come as well
Sounds great, its like 30 min by bus for me But No problem! Im free after 5pm when i have checked in to my hotel
Letsgo then
Ill drop my luggage in a locker first
Let me know when you get there! I’m on my way
I have at least 30min to drop my luggage and ill see afterwards
No worries I’m about an hr away
Buses in kyoto are a nightmare
I‘m having a tea ceremony later today. So for me it will be 6:45 to make it to the meet-up. But if you guys wanna meet earlier you can just give me a notice where you are and I will follow up 🙂
6:45 works for me too
6:45 is Perfect! 😍
Has anyone here been to daikoku pa without a car? My friends and I are big gear heads but are having trouble finding a way to get there
You can't get in without a car

Anyone trying to go to the Oyster Festival in Ueno tomorrow?

Anyone grabbing a drink tonight?
I’ll probably be there in like an hour or so
I’ll be at the oyster festival in about 20-30
Any specific locations you've in mind?
Hmmm shinjuku or shibuya? Anywheres fine
Somewhere chill please don’t have the energy to club today 🙇♂️
I might be at Minato area near roppongi after 8pm. I'll see how it goes again later in the evening.
Preference for somewhere chill and quiet.
Does anyone want to go to Teamlab planets today (entry 2:30-3:00)? My friend has an extra ticket and I unfortunately can’t make it! Perhaps this is short notice
Anyone trying to meet up and drink tn?
Where are you trying to go?
Drink sounds good
Tokyo gang is super quiet today
Kyoto-gang 2.0: @warm hull and me will be heading for dinner at around 6:30 if anyone is interested. Nothing planned so far just looking for whatever looks good
Would’ve loved to but i saw it a bit too late :/
Is anyone interested in going dancing tonight? @glass juniper I know we talked about it last night so I'm still down if you are! (no pressure to commit tho)
Tokyo?
Ohhhh maybee
Im up for drinks
Yeah
I’m interested, where were you thinking?
I'm not sure yet, I was just gonna look thru habo's list. Some people from my hostel are going to Daikokufuto first and then coming back to head out clubbing. Are you interested in also checking out a car meet for a couple hours? They want to leave at 6
Then clubbing would be later, maybe 930-10?
I could meet up after for the club let me know
Sounds good! 😁
where is the car meet up?
I‘m gonna go slow with the drinks today since i want to get up early tomorrow. But we can write you if we go somewhere else after dinner 👍🏼
Dang hopefully not next week when I land!
It's in Daikokufuto, out towards Yokohama I think?
I am sunburned and too tired to do a late night 😦 but I'll let you know if I catch a second wind!
No worries! Sounds good! 😁
Have fun!
Congrats on avoiding a shibuya meltdown!
If anyone’s going anywhere to get drinks; it’s my last night and I feel I should do something social! 😭
In Tokyo
Awwww did you have a fun trip? Come back soon

Next trip? Unsure lol. This one was spur of the moment since I quit my top tier tech job
When I find a new job I’ll plan it

Googling for beer places on my way there

We’re headed to golden gai now if anyone wants to join
Where in golden gai? Swinging by the hotel real quick and will join
Last night in Tokyo and I'm at shibuya station, any recommendations on buying some one piece merchandise? A store I can go to?
Isn't it tad late that most shops are closed?
I was worried about that...
Maybe don Quijote time
I'd be down for a drink! maybe in shibuya? but not clubbing bc I'm not dressed for it and if I go home it's all over
You can try to see if there are any. But keep your fingers crossed as the stuff there are non specialised
If you like, why not get a copy of the jump magazine OP is published n?
It is the latest copy (1033), and should be available in most konibini
pls tell me you went to the mugiwara stores
Yes I'm in it now! Found exactly what I wanted
I got lucky!
Which club are you going to?
Hey sorry I got delayed and ended up in Chinatown in Yokohama
If anyone is still out by the time I get back to Tokyo I'm down to meet up!
Did you party to long?

I still have a bit of stuff to do so I won't be able to make it earlier unfortunately!
@frank dune oh no guess what I just realized...
Oh no

They might be Japanese

Crash course lol
I'll chill at an arcade close to the station
Try to get the central east exit
Unless you are coming with metro

Sounds good! Google maps has me getting there at 17:00
Been a while since I've been to ikebukuro so I'll do my best haha
👍
Omw

Is there still space for 2?
Sure if anyone is down drinking afterwards
Yea if youre down i will change the reservation
One sec I’ll confirm with my friend

https://maps.app.goo.gl/PF6rpm2XpvSZGZ4T8?g_st=ic
This is the place btw
We’re confirmed
You got it. Lemme add you to the group too
I’d be happy to meet in golden gai tonight. Already have dinner plans
Sounds good. @delicate plume will keep you two updated
Update: one bailed out so we have 1 more spot available if anyone is interested
@fierce steppe are you heading out from Shibuya?
Ah no I changed my hotel bc my friend ended up extending his trip by a couple days. I’m like 1 station away to the east now from Shibuya
Ohh okie. Im probably gonna start heading to there first and do a little walk around. I dont even have time to visit shinjuku otherwise
Sg I’ll head there in a bit aswell
@nimble pilot got room for 1 mo still?
I made a thread for Niseko #1192711833384128532
Just got in
Hanazono side of niseko has the best lunch from my experience fyi

Everything is so far apart
My hotel is not close to anything

Yessir, Shinjuku higashi right
Yup. Im heading there from shibuya now but the reservation is at 8
@summer garnet

Okay just check that timetable to make sure you don’t miss it all
Yup! What genre of music are these bands at basement bar
Open the Insta post and you can hear all the performers
Let me know if the vibe is good haha
@summer garnet im so sorry my bad i pointed the wrong site
A couple blocks away
If you wait for that you’ll miss the last act
Trust my taste
Are you there too?
I had to go the the Shibuya event instead cos I’m staff but I think the Shimokitazawa one is more worth checking out
Oh that’s cool? You make music events? Went to watch a kawaii metal show last night haha
Finishing up a drink in a bar In Kichijoji
Okay just keep an eye on that timetable
I follow and love this scene so I just share the great info I’ve picked up

Im so sorry take your time. i didnt even notice until i got out of the elevator
Wish I knew!! Also work in the music industry back home and was looking to chat to someone from the indie industry here. Will try to head asap 😅
Had an interesting chat yesterday with some guy and he was telling me about a band called billyrrom. Was hoping to see a show they sound great
Yeah I’ve seen them a couple of times, they are brilliant
I'm here y'all got a table number?
Well I’m probably the only non-Japanese here in a small venue, interesting experience for sure
I’ve only been in heavily touristy area so far
fomo is real, anyone else leaving tomorrow 😭😭
People in Shinjuku are you drinking after? 🙂
If anyone wants to join me for my birthday, I’m going to this bar:
@nimble pilot any idea on time when you were going to head over to Golden gai
Are you heading over there now? I’m only about a five minute walk.
Caught Subway Daydream, thanks @fathom rampart
Nice, they’re great eh
I am! Have to ride the train, I can let you know when I get to the station though
Sounds good, i’ll start making my way over. I’ll be in a light purple hoodie and a black hat
You can wait a little if you want, it’s 9 more stops
But when I get there I have on a grey shirt, black hoodie, white beanie, and jeans with teal accents
All J-pop kinda sounds the same to me but it was a fun, unique experience
Okay just need to ride one more stop then it’s a 10 minute walk
Won’t be able to stay terribly long though so I can make last train
That’s fine. My hotel is down the street
Ok I’m here
They all turned down. So i guess we are not going 😦
That’s a bummer
I sent the google maps link
If pub 305 opens up after here that’s where I’m going if not then I’m going to a conbini grab a drink and wander around
Inside
On my way!
7mins
Ok cool
Mind if I I join you guys in a bit? Or will you leave soon?
Come on over
I’ll have to leave by 11:30ish but feel free!

They're called 'MC battles' in Japanese https://twitter.com/gaisenmcbattle

any shinjuku/shibuya drinkers tn?
who is the person on the left??
He looks exactly like me
and has the exact same jacket as me
this is getting very scary
Wife and I (35F & 36M) from Florida, we will be in the Tokyo area 1/20 - 1/27 then Osaka area 1/28 - 2/6. This is our 2nd trip, we went almost this exact same time last year and had a ton of fun so decided to return again. We love checking out the local music scene, coffee, food, and just walking/sightseeing. Always down for drinks/chats/karaoke/clubs. Already plan on hitting up a ton of local shows in Shimo-Kitazawa plus other places so if you have a suggestion or want to meet up at one, let me know! If anyone else is going, we will be going to the Bruno Mars, The Pillows, and Ed Sheeran concerts while in Japan as well.
There’s a pillows concert 😳
Nice, enjoy! Im finishing up few chores, would love to join you guys later
Anyone in Niseko > #1192711833384128532
Lmao… that‘d be me I guess… proof yourself 
I have been growing my hair and dont wear glasses but other than that, basically the same
Im in bed now but if I remember, I will put on the jacket and send you one 🤣
Please do, i am actually really curious now xD
Normally I don’t wear the glasses everyday, but too much interesting to see here in japan
I'm in Tokyo for the next 4 days. let me know if there's a meetup, would love to join, cheers
28M Turkey btw
Anyone going to the Ghibli museum on friday at around 3pm?
Are there any evening events tonight or tomorrow night in Tokyo?
Charity fundraiser gig for areas hit by the Jan 1st earthquake
https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/C13QiYUSOaC/
Amaaaaazing lineup
Not that I have experienced. There really isn’t a need to have a fundraiser start super late given the events.
At least it gives people to make it back for bed time or carry on partying elsewhere 😛
Live music is typically 6 or 7pm-10 or 11pm
Exactly it means everything is done in time for people to take the last train home
There are plenty of midnight/all-night events, both band shows and club nights/DJ parties
Fewer on weekdays obviously
Those will start at 10pm or later and go to 4 or 5 am
Thanks for suggesting this. I've checked out the acts and they all sound pretty good! I will be going to this, so if anyone wants to meet up, give us a bell! I will probably go somewhere else for drinks/after party afterwards as well
Also I found a good party tonight. All Shimokitazawa's top event organisers (i.e. people with the best music taste) DJing together at Shimokitazawa THREE from 6pm. Money from food sales will be donated to the earthquake recovery effort

Anyone up for dinner in Kyoto tonight?
@round yacht or you wanna go to the arcade? Would love to see your washmachine skills 
Thats fine. I‘ll get some myself if noone else wants to come. But if you are up for a little bit arcade action, I‘m down
👍
You have a preferred arcade center?
round one
Thats the one i was yesterday I guess. When do you wanna go?
whenever you finish dinner I guess
since I'm currently devouring a cheese gyudon right now
7:30?
I'm gonna be playing on the third floor left most cabinet
Anyone else in niseko the next few days?
With my friend at Shibuya crossing right now getting Izekaya chicken, anyone down to go clubbing/bar hopping after?
Not me because of work tomorrow but here are my recommendations of where you should go
https://maps.app.goo.gl/A6zqbuh1LprDmPQQA

If anyone wants to join me for my last night, I’m at this bar now:

Thank you! Was great meeting you too
Ye

will definately go back there soon though. have a safe flight back mate
Haha glad you liked it, and thank you!
This list is awesome! Got one for Kyoto?
Nah cause Kyoto doesn’t have many by comparison. Seems like the best events are always happening at West Harlem though
Ah all right thank you
Cool 👍
We on the way
Oh wow you’re back in the same place again? Have a safe trip man
Yo on demon time

Banging lineup start to finish though
First day in Tokyo, staying near shinjuku. Anything happening?
Right now?
Any other solo travelers down to grab food or drinks?
Yes
#1165815557128474774 message
I guess tonight or any other night for next few days
Go to habo's music show
You'll enjoy it
I've just arrived in Shibuya and making my way to the venue now
The music shows in Tokyo that Habo puts on his IG are always a fun way to spend an evening.
They are unique to Japan, you can just vibe to the music while enjoying drinks, and there aren't too many people there. You can socialize if you want or you can just listen to music.
Its much more enjoyable than say clubbing which requires much more active participation and is extremely loud.
lol some people may prefer clubbing, but I certainly don't. I'm past that age.
Plus I feel that most foreigners who are going clubbing are trying to hook up with a Japanese girl
Aite need to get some food in me then I'll head on over 🤠
I might go soon
I recommend the chicken thigh + 20 kinds of veggies + a side of fried chicken
You will be full and very happy
Haha yeah I'll save the food rec for later
I'll just eat something quick from 711
And maybe a strong zero 😏
Ah my bad
If you're ever back in Shibuya - https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZKxGn3yjo4Hc8dHr5
If anyone is at Tokio Tokyo, I'm here and wearing a black blink182 t-shirt
Just finished eating, how many people are there right now?
Not sure how many from discord. But there's around 40-50 people here
It's on the basement floor btw
K I'll be there in 30
Anyone wants to grab some food in akihabara?
Oh I’m only here until Saturday!
Chilling in the back. This set slaps
☠️sounds rough
I was ok in the morning no hangover either
Niceee
definitely going to be out and about tomorrow, will pay attention! currently in ikekuburo, going on a good 3 hour walk/thrift trip in the AM
I have some vegan/vegetarian spots I want to hit up including Kyushu Jangara and vegetarian beast, if anyones got spots, suggest! I miss my small spot south of Ueno park Sairaien - had a green flag that said VEGAN and it was fantastic
Hello everyone! I’ll be making a quick stop in Tokyo from January 23rd to January 26th (Tuesday to Friday) and would love to meet like-minded people to hang out and share food with. 30M from Southern California (currently living in New York) and super down to explore the food, music, and shopping scene.

There’s good music on

Hi everyone! I just arrived to Tokyo! I’m staying near Shinjuku. Any food recs? I’m just a 4 min walk from shinjuku station so I guess I could go somewhere else too! Although I did get lost today! Luckily someone helped me out. Would love to meet people for dinner or something. I’m traveling solo.
Get the garlic rice
Bring cash. Its cash only.
Thanks!
this look really good
Personally I always get it with garlic rice, mashed potatoes, cheese, and a salad
You order the way you want. They have english menus
how would I order garlic rice in japanese
aah okay then
thanks
cool
I’m adding them to my list!
This is also good, but be prepared for insanely long lines - https://maps.app.goo.gl/HahGbEZyCRi3cSzz8?g_st=ic
like 1-2 hour wait time
I‘m about to head for akihabara in about an hour. Just strolling around a little bit, if you are bored.
just a heads up that most shops & some bars close fairly early there (like 9-10pm for bars)
shops around like 8-9pm
have fun though 
sounds good 😄
You know when the arcade centers close? Maybe i‘ll go for a round house of the dead 2 after almost 25 years 🤣
it depends on the arcade really - I think the GiGO ones close at like 11:30pm apparently, which is news to me 
Game Panic is open until midnight
house of the dead 2 though, hmm
I think there might be either OG house of the dead, or maybe hotd 2 on the top floor of GiGO 3. They have like a retro games floor.
they've even got typing of the dead - which is interesting to play 
HEY which is the orange fronted place just a few buildings down might have something like it too, as they're pretty heavy on old games - but I don't recall seeing many shooters elsewhere 
Idk if im down for aki tbh
I'm on night 2 in shinjuku and also solo traveling. Coming back from Disney Sea right now. Wonder if it's too late to pull together a group dinner or group drinks
What about shinjuku? 😅
I’d be down to join for dinner
Haha
I’m just walking around rn
I'm on the train so if you wanna pick a spot I can just meet you there. But not sure if others are rallying
