I was gonna get yakiniku tonight if anyome wants to join @willow thorn
Sure
I'm just leaving Umeda
@willow thorn heard this place was good, the name alone 😂: https://maps.app.goo.gl/Wr4GG9WzPBuS2LwN9
Looks heavenly
If Pi-Chi recommended it it’s a certified banger.
I can be there in ~30 min
Works for me @willow thorn
@topaz sun you there?
Walking over, there in 10 min
Same man, same lol
Buddy and I are at zerro, gunna go to a ramen place that opens at 10pm afterwards
It's my first night so I'm hanging it up early, definitely down to meet up this week though
Sexmachine was A+ 10/10
seems like people are no longer going to the Misono Building's 2nd-floor bars 🫠
missing out on a few cool places you guys
First time hearing about those bars. I’d be down to meetup there tomorrow.
say hi to the gaming bar owner for me if he's there 😄
Note that none of the bar owners can really speak English (though I remember one bartender who did).
The owner of Failure's Kitchen is super friendly and will engage you anyway if you try to talk to him. Would recommend, he's been there for 20 years iirc
note: the bars have 300-500 yen/person entry fees

if you guys prefer meeting English speakers, you can go to Murphy's instead (not at Misono)
Can vouch, went there and the owner was super chill and cool. Cheap, delicious drinks too
Anyone want to meetup at Misno tonight?
I’ll be in osaka tonight I’m down
Unfortunately I’m leaving Osaka tonight.
Oh ok, change of plans ?
Nope, leaving for Nara tonight then traveling to Hiroshima. I’ll be in Kyoto on the 24th
Oh mb for some reason I thought you posted that today
I'm down to grab a drink tonight @river jacinth
Why is it so much colder in osaka than Tokyo wtf
Hey I might be down to get some drinks tonight also
Actually I’m down to get drinks at night till 27th, there’s this really cool video game bar if anything is interested in gaming related stuff
Yeah I’m down, getting settled in and then I’m gonna find something to eat.
Got some more info? I’m interested
I spy Dreamcast controllers
Pretty small tho but is pretty cool went there like 2 years back
It's pretty cool yeah. But I also recommend the intimate retro gaming bar Dendo in Misono, you can also play on the old and not-so-old consoles there amid a sea of old cartridges
My little nap ended up being long nap… I’ll meet up w you guys tomorrow x.x
That happened to me last night lol
Dm or @ me for anyone whos down to meet up or for drinks, gonna be my first time in the country (12/29-1/13) and gonna be in Osaka from the 29th and checking out the 1st to head to kyoto :)
Anyone down to get dinner / drinks tonight ? I got a good nights rest so no more naps for me 🗿
I'm down
What time you wanna grab dinner ? 8?
Yeah that sounds good
Do you want to meet somewhere in dotonbori perhaps? Walk around and find something to eat
Idk too much about osaka tbqh
I went there last night and there are a ton of options
Someone else suggested this place" https://maps.app.goo.gl/aYs6DvevojQex6Ck9
Sounds good! @jovial basalt you wanna join us? And anyone else too
Today?
My hotel is right at dotonbori
But I already have dinner plans but if you are going for some drinks I wouldn’t mind
Or I just watch y’all eat
@maiden slate meet ups here
All right boys and girls let’s find the most dangerous areas we can and go have fun
🙏🏼
My hotel is on Nagahori-Dori Street 🔥
Legit half a km from me lol
I’m about to shower and go out find some good eats. That Shinkansen ride was actually not that fun. I mean is it typically normal to have to get off at every major stop? I can navigate now pretty well, but I was not a fan.
@maiden slate we gonna eat here at 8 if you wanna come
Ooooooo i might be able to push! I haven’t eaten since 5 am so Im shaking. Almost done getting ready now. I’ll let you know here in a half hour. Thank you!
Okie down to drink afterwards for sure tho
Go drink some pocari right now. Get some sugar up
Pls japan better and stop by konbini
what? why would you have to get off a train? and was it actually a shinkansen or something else?
Unless I heard wrong. It said multiple times in English to get off for such and such and I just kept hearing Shin-Osaka in English
I don’t spend more than 4-5 hours on any hotel or hostel
I am very happy with my progress
Low blood sugar always carry a soda or some candy on you. Let me do my thing I’ll be in that area, so just chill either chill or come to Japan, Mr. Uncle.
it was probably just "this train terminates at Shin-Osaka"
you're not supposed to get off before your destination...gmaps/jorudan shows you the transfers
Interesting, well at the very least I still made it here only 10 minutes after my ETA
WE LEARN
That was my first time tho
amazingly small delay, phew
@river jacinth @jovial basalt
Hey guys, I would really like to join you for some drinks. Yesterday I've been to a fancy rooftop bar "confidential" with a friend, you have a great view on the Tokyo tower.
Do you already have a bar to meet?
Nope, I believe me and @willow thorn are gonna meet at this ramen place to eat but nothing concrete after that
You’re welcome to join
Great, thanks. I won't be able to join you at 8 for dinner but definitely afterwards.
Then we could still figure out where to have a couple of drinks
And my friend wanted to go at first to this bar, but yesterday it was closed.
THE LIVELY TOKYO AZABUJUBAN
And JFYI, I'm m33 from Germany
Got out late got held up by an elderly gentleman who I offered to help with some luggage up to the floor that I’m on. I have one more bag to go back and get down and then I’m heading out.
Ya just worried about u
Where at? Bout to go get ramen
Also I am m28 from Texas while we sharing info
Freezing my ass of heading in that direction now
Well coming down the elevator but yeah
Ima be there at 8
They have to change my room so I might be a bit late
I'm on my way
I’m here, I’m the Asian guy in a beige coat so it might be hard to spot me hehe
Just lmk when yall here
Be right there
I'm out front
@maiden slate wya?
Rip Zach 🫡
Anyone in Osaka wanna do something today/tonight?😊
Yes, I apologize about that. Typically don’t just ghost I always give a reason for what’s happening but as soon as I left the hotel since I’m on the main strip, there was a group of drunk dudes stumbling everywhere. Accidentally bumped into a few and they were insanely belligerent I could just tell, even though they didn’t speak any English, and all I heard was gaijin.
Idc at all it’s their homeland I just wanna stay away from those situations, but I was heading down that area and was going down some side alleys where that river (Dotombori) is with all of the bridges that are running across it and because I circled around and went back to the main street. I ended up running into them again, and they did the same thing except they were following me. I don’t know what their destination was, but I felt Hella uncomfortable, and that’s a first for me here since then, so I literally just walked about 3-4 km they finally went away and I walked right back to the hotel
Probably should’ve just sent a message after I got back to the hotel. But I’m in Osaka another five nights, so I’m down to do anything during the day or night. 🫶 I want to go see Nara and Himeji castle
I’m down! If anyone else is
29 Male btw. Can link Snapchat or Instagram for proof of ID
Or if anyone else wants to get down
@river jacinth how much longer are you in Osaka?
Does anyone have plans for Christmas in Osaka/Kyoto? Any events?
Texted u!
Damn wtf, all good man glad you’re safe
Also I’m spending the day in kyoto and then heading back to Tokyo. Hope yall have fun
Though I didn’t anticipate Christmas events everywhere
Nope need to find some
Responded!
Dang OK I will sorry about last night and have fun in Kyoto and of course Tokyo
And I appreciate that it was really weird. I haven’t had any other instances like that mostly just elderly men that seem to not be happy but I think they’re directing that at everyone, but this one was purely directed at me and made me really uncomfortable.
Hey everyone! I’ll be in Osaka from tomorrow and would be happy to meet people and explore together. Would anyone be interested in going to a fugu restaurant tomorrow evening?
Also, would anyone be interested in going to Universal Studios Japan for Christmas?
Feel free to message me if you’re keen for dinner, a drink, or general sightseeing.
By the way my name is Umi. 38M, mixed race British American here. First time in Japan
FYI USJ on Christmas is gonna be EXTREMELY BUSY
I'll be free tomorrow night as well, would be down to join ya
Hi! I'm arriving later today and am up for any hangouts, I am in Osaka until Dec 28. Two Christmas-y things I want to do are the Christmas market and the Rubber Duck if anyone is interested.
https://metronine.osaka/en/event/nakanoshima-west-winter-tale-2023/
Wanted to see Rubber Duck but not arriving until 26th 😅
Anywho, thinking of going to Nara tomorrow during the day if anyone interested (Going from Kyoto)
Hmm I went to the Christmas market but it didn't seem that interesting to me? Mostly just some little shops with very long lines and some Christmas trees, not much else there unless I missed it
Different strokes for different folks!
Hmm yeah you have a point. It’s probably better on a quieter day
Nice! Would you be at all interested in trying fugu? If not, I am yet to try Takoyaki and Okonomiyaki as well
I actually had it this trip haha so may pass on fugu. Down for okonomiyaki or tako though!
in Tennoji Ward?
Yep
Do you recommend anywhere for Takoyaki?
I think they're all pretty good? Kinda more like street food you can find a lot of vendors selling it just walking around
Did you still feel like eating/drinking tonight?
I just checked into my hotel. Freshening up and I am free to meet! Would 7 pm in Dontonbori suit?
Want to meet here at 7?
Sure sorry running a bit late but heading out
One caveat I'm pretty low on cash so hopefully they take card
Think I'm there, lmk when you are
I think their closed actually
Hey man! Sorry, but I direct messaged you
Is there an instagram group for Osaka?
Some of us doing Teamlabs in Osaka tomorrow if anyone interested
