[serene cobalt]

Anyone going for nikko today?

[amber warren]

My hotel’s breakfast is amazing

[soft cape]

No worries, was able to pop into a Lawson's which I needed to. All good.

[final pawn]

Anyone in the Kyoto area looking to hang out or go out tonight?

[harsh sigil]

I am heading toward mega donki

For my leaving Japan final buying

[vernal tapir]

Anyone in nagano for skiing?

[strange ore]

https://mainichi.jp/english/articles/20240311/p2a/00m/0et/016000c

Damn, this comes straight on the day I'll land

[fallen pasture]

Park tickets go on sale 2 months in advance so there might not be any left now

[strange ore]

Ah Shit

I'll plan this another time when I fly 🤔 its too far from tokyo for me

[amber warren]

Heading to the Tokyo museum later

[glacial drift]

Anyone interested in Ichigaya fish center wed-fri this week? It’s the fishing place in the middle of the city in persona 5

[dusk garden]

Koenji last night was fun. Show was great, people were great. Ended up being out till 5AM almost with one of the guys I met there.

Definitely don't be afraid to strike up Convo with people. I got on very well with all the people I could speak with at the show.

[near roost]

I'd be keen, tomorrow or Friday work

[glacial drift]

Cool. I could do 3:30 tomorrow or 2ish and on on Friday. Btw, you interested in Sangenjaya? I was planning on going today but can postpone if you’re keen

[last prairie]

Good stuff

[near roost]

Lets hit 330 tomorrow that works for me. And go LeBlanc without me today! I've been out to Sangenjaya/Yongenjaya previously

[glacial drift]

Great

[dusk garden]

Yoooo when does your trip start? Soon right?

[last prairie]

Exactly a week from now! You gonna be in town to meet?

[dusk garden]

Yessssss

And I have no obligations like I do this week

[last prairie]

Hell yeah

[fallen pasture]

Told you you wouldn’t be the only gaijin haha

Glad you enjoyed it. I saw the clips, the bands rocked it

[dusk garden]

Yessss. It was very energetic

I was worried the rock stuff wasn't my style, but Champi House was much more psychadelic than expected, in a good way

First act was more classical rock like. very high energy lead

But yeah. Deffo not the only gaijin.

And Sorry no Camisole members also speak very good english, so I spoke with them

and then with other acts via my limited Japanese

[weak wind]

Anyone down for games at sinsekai?

[last prairie]

Can't wait to find out how bad my Japanese actually is by speaking to locals with it

Need to get over the nerves to try that though

[dusk garden]

Yeah just go for it.

Its fun either way

[last prairie]

"me hablo japanesiou"

[dusk garden]

https://tenor.com/view/bonjour-party-inglourious-basterds-gif-14867086

[sacred valley]

gomenasorey

excusememasen

so many ways you can go around it really

[last prairie]

Me just Engrishing my way through the conversation

[dusk garden]

gets ya halfway there

Had a drunk convo with a Japanese guy in a bar last night

we figured it out

of course

[last prairie]

Living the life

[dusk garden]

I am

Oh also regarding UFO club, they be smoking like chimmineys in there

I was, granted, with the gaijin who were all smoking

[last prairie]

I want to get a bald haircut just so we can introduce ourselves as jouzu and boozu

[dusk garden]

But my cloths REEEEEEK of smoke

doing laundry rn

[dusk garden]

bruh

https://tenor.com/view/saitama-one-punch-man-opm-eyebrows-gif-11129682

[weak wind]

Hage desuu

[fallen pasture]

I’ve been there once and didn’t really want to go back for this reason

It was Japanese people smoking when I went though

[last prairie]

Non non, simply hagenderundesu

[fallen pasture]

There are no-smoking signs!!!

[dusk garden]

Oh no, they were smoking too.

[last prairie]

Waarku hardou, purey hardou

[dusk garden]

Actually, now that I recall, I was sandwiched between 2 gaijin smoking and 2 seated Japanese smoking

I so I could speak English, basically put myself right next to the ashtray

[dusk garden]

Noticed this as well

[sacred valley]

smokes anyway like a boss

[weak wind]

No smoking is always optional

[dusk garden]

still, good time other than the cancer risk and smell

😁

[last prairie]

Jeez, I thought Japan was better with that stuff

[sacred valley]

they’re definitely much better than other countries

[amber warren]

Shibuya sky if anyone is doing this tonight

[last prairie]

Is that a Shibuya Roll Call?

[fallen pasture]

Japan hasn’t really gone about smoking bands very well

• No smoking on the street
• Only smoke in designated smoking areas which are basically hotboxes, are few and far between, and are getting fewer
• Also you can smoke if the business is a very small enclosed space

I am already doing a Shibuya roll call, where are you people AT #1172954635569471549 message

[last prairie]

What would we do without you?

Miss all the cool stuff, that's what

[hidden jay]

Jet lag is kicking in hard, how do you guys fight it the first day

[fallen pasture]

I haaate cigarettes but the effect of the above bullet points is smokers are very resentful and will smoke on the street everywhere they think they won’t get caught. Advertising by tobacco companies isn’t restricted as heavily as it should be so the number of people doing it holds somewhat steady

[last prairie]

Oof

[fallen pasture]

1. Always eat at the correct times (even though your body might not want it)
2. Never ever remind yourself of what time it is back home
3. You can take a nap to keep you going but only for an hour or so
4. Get lots of sunlight!

and come join me for a party in Shibuya in the evening ‘cause that’ll wake you up

[dusk garden]

I'd love to get out tonight, but I, tragically, have Ghibli Museum tomorrow and need to be refreshed for it

[hidden jay]

Definitely could be up for Shibuya later, explored it for a few hours this morning

[fallen pasture]

Details here #1172954635569471549 message

[honest flame]

When it says "(1d¥600)" does it mean you have to buy 1 drink for that price, or that the ticket comes with it and you can buy more for that price?

[fallen pasture]

That means you have to buy a ¥600 drink ticket on the door separate to the entrance ticket. You can then exchange that for a drink at the bar inside

All venues in Japan work this way. idk why, we were just talking about it here #events message

[honest flame]

Thanks! I'll be there!

[fallow plinth]

Have your flight delayed for about 6 hours then rebook your connection flight because otherwise you have a 27 hour layover then arrive after 52h of travel in Tokyo at midnight and everything else does your body 😂

(r/OddlySpecific)

[tawny sigil]

Just checked into my ryokan and this is insane this feels way too nice for me 😂

[hidden jay]

lol that’s a bit worse than my situation😂, I had a 9 hour flight, 13 hour layover, then an 11 hour flight

Probably slept like 6 or 7 hours in the last 2 days

[fallow plinth]

Same for me

but it was a perfect match that I was horrible sleepy at midnight

[proud drum]

Speaking of, I saw a show at Zepp Shinjuku

[mortal tundra]

enjoy it king

[proud drum]

Not sure if they were serving alcohol or not but I grabbed a drink at the end of the night just to exchange my token (Coke) and they gave me a little Zepp Shinjuku carabiner which I thought was neat (and lessened the sting of a 600 yen coke)

[tawny sigil]

Lmao it’s actually the nicest place I have ever stayed

[hidden jay]

I woke up at 3:50am today and I panicked for a sec because I thought I slept like 15 hours straight (thought it was 3:50pm)

[mortal tundra]

sounds top notch

[tawny sigil]

My balcony view

[fallen pasture]

Very kind

[mortal tundra]

real good view

[sacred valley]

wowow

[tawny sigil]

They walked me to my room showed me around made me tea it’s insane

[serene cobalt]

Very nice

[mortal tundra]

this is how they send you to bed before dinner.

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-squidword-goodnight-kiss-gif-5109522

[sinful jewel]

Is Daikanyama and Nakemeguro worth exploring?

[soft cape]

Don't go to sleep the night before your flight, stay up until your flight at 1pm, sleep for about 6 hours on and off during the 14 hour flight, arrive in Japan at 5 and don't go to sleep until 3 am then get woken up at 7, stay up the entire day until 3 am again then get woken up at 8 and finally on the 3rd day crash at midnight and sleep 10 hours.

[proud drum]

I feel like it's probably a standard value added thing - a soft drink only costs 400 yen at Zepp, so they throw in the 200 yen value carabiner so as not to scam you.

[fallen pasture]

Not top of the hit lists, but nice atmospheres with stuff to see
#attractions

[tawny sigil]

I mean I wouldn’t be surprised at this point

They are brining dinner to my room at 6:30

[tight flax]

Which ryokan is this?

[tawny sigil]

Konansou at kawaguchiko

@tight flax

[tight flax]

Thanks

[tawny sigil]

Or In not at I guess

[glacial drift]

Anyone interested in going to SG club ( not actually a club btw) today? Maybe around 8.

[mortal tundra]

sg club ?

[glacial drift]

The SG club

Worlds 50 best bar

[harsh sigil]

only 5000 yen for a buracku haibaru

10k yen otoshi

[glacial drift]

Nah

Anything is cheaper than the US anyway

[harsh sigil]

the what

us is literally the cheapest country on earth to go shopping

by a longshot

[fallen pasture]

Japan is cheaper cos of weak yen. Cheapest Big Macs in the world, baby. Anyway let them organise their meetup

[mortal tundra]

will have to see later
im searching for weiss schwarz cards now.
I can join later if theres some time left

[glacial drift]

This is very much not true and it’s not shopping

[harsh sigil]

right yeah some stuff like food is cheaper in other places

[fallen pasture]

I’ve got a couple more friend to gather at Shibuya LUSH tonight, still taking people #1172954635569471549 message

[harsh sigil]

but US shopping is wackkkk

[glacial drift]

Spain is crazy for European designer stuff. Not into it, but it’s like half price. Although you gotta wait 3 hours in the tax refund line at the airport

[reef burrow]

is that in Shiga?

[tawny sigil]

Kawaguchiko

[tight flax]

This is completely false lol

Southeast Asian countries (besides Singapore), latam countries, and even Japan cuz of the weak Yen are all much cheaper than shopping in the states.

[sacred valley]

yeah no us is expensive the hell

[harsh sigil]

u must b confused

yall r confused, lemme tell u as some1 with ample shopping experience in latam and europe import tax is a thing and it ruins the price of everything

shopping in nyc can be real expensive but in florida and the like

the gamma of brand goods you can find, from electronics to clothes, the prices are divine

yeah buying food in brazil is cheaper than the US, yeah buying fancy wine in france is cheaper than the US

[glacial drift]

Prices are the same in NYC and Florida for the same goods

[tight flax]

Nah I've shopped in all those places and am from the US, I'm pretty sure you are confused lol. Ive shopped in cheap Rhode Island, and things are astronomically cheaper in Vietnam, Peru, parts of Mexico, just to name a few

[harsh sigil]

no, have you considered the price of rent?>

[glacial drift]

What does rent have to do with shopping lmao

[harsh sigil]

i live in brazil , 10 years, lived 14 in the US and 6 in france, trust me i know shopping in those

[tight flax]

Rent ain't shopping, it's cost of living

[harsh sigil]

obviously rent factors into the price of the goods at the location you're buying

obviously

because the shop pays rent

and has to cover its costs

[glacial drift]

Nah it doesn’t work that way

[harsh sigil]

ok

[glacial drift]

They have to compete with online and increased rent is made up for by increased traffic

[tight flax]

And the cheapest COL state in the US is still WAY more expensive than col in Peru, Colombia, Mexico, Thailand, Vietnam, Poland, Bulgaria..I can probably name many more

[glacial drift]

NYC has the cheapest food of anywhere in the US

nowhere else has the density to support dollar slice pizza

[vernal tapir]

That's not true

[harsh sigil]

want me to bring up the plethora of websites with deals for trips to miami for shopping? from aalmost any country

[glacial drift]

I should say cheapest cheap food

[vernal tapir]

Pizza is not a dollar in NYC anymore

[glacial drift]

Obviously you can spend a lot

[harsh sigil]

ppl from the whole world travel to florida to do shopping

why?

[tight flax]

Lmao that is another completely false claim. I lived in NYC for 27 years of my life

[harsh sigil]

cause its expensive? 😂

[glacial drift]

I had dollar pizza last September and it was common

[glacial drift]

Cheapest cheap food

It has the most expensive food too

[tight flax]

Not true. A McDonald's combo meal in NY is only cheaper than maybe California. Other 48 states, it's not

[sacred valley]

illinois combo price is crazy

[glacial drift]

Again, selecting the cheapest food possible

[tight flax]

Fast food is supposed to be the cheapest food possible..that's kinda the point

[glacial drift]

Which is not mcd there

[dusk garden]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/P9xYxpM7hhA9rQhq5

[glacial drift]

There is cheaper food than McDonald’s now

[tight flax]

And yes you can still find dollar slices, but it's much more rare than it was 10-15 years ago

[glacial drift]

McDonald’s is literally not even cheap now

5 bucks for fries

[dusk garden]

anyone wanna meet here near Tokyo station?

Vegan ramen place. Affordable

I hear it's quite good

[tight flax]

Yeah Chicago fast food has gotten expensive too. Even portillos has been hit by inflation too

[sacred valley]

to be fair

portillos was never cheap

i feel like

[amber warren]

I live in tx everything is cheap the best state to exist

[subtle spire]

As long as youre not a woman

[ionic iris]

Basically all of US damn near..

[amber warren]

I can’t say nothing there

[safe dagger]

Im currently in Japan for a week and im not from the US😂

[amber warren]

I think Japan is cheap over all food wise and goods wise it’s 50/50

I’ve seen things that I could get cheaper back in the states

[wraith sun]

I remember seeing this awhile ago. it's pretty wild how grossly overpriced fast food is

[amber warren]

Crazy to me people pay 100-200 for a carhartt jacket it’s like 40-60 used in the USA

[sacred valley]

dude at this point go eat at local restaurants

[subtle spire]

Im not hungry but im down to meet up for a drink after.

[sacred valley]

cuz mc fries are not good enough to be that much

[glacial drift]

McDonald’s has never been the cheapest fast food and recently they’ve been trying to move upmarket. But honestly the prices are absurd now

[sacred valley]

that’s a fuckin appetizer

[amber warren]

I thin large fries in tx are about 3.25

[tight flax]

Fair enough

[ionic iris]

Bring back the $1 menu!

[amber warren]

We got the 2 now 😭🥲

[wraith sun]

Labor is just overvalued in the US

Food is generally MUCH cheaper in Asia

[ionic iris]

In CA it’s buy one get one for a dollar. First one is 3.99…

[amber warren]

I heard a meal in ca is about 15-20 true ?

[ionic iris]

Yessir

[tight flax]

Yes import tax for big brands is a thing. So in the countries I named, PS5, Louis V, apple products etc...may be more expensive. However, only a small percentage of the world considers the definition of shopping only buying high end fashion or name brands.
Also your original comment was about the expensive cost of the top 50 world bar. Well I can tell you that the high cost drinks in Japan these days cuz of the weak Yen, are still way cheaper than high end cocktails in NY, Vegas, Miami, Chicago, San Diego, etc. maybe drinks are cheaper in South Dakota, but the bar in South Dakota won't be on the world's top 50 list either lol

[ionic iris]

If you order a classic mcgangbang with fries and a drink it’s 10-15. If ya get a meal it’s 15-20. Not even worth it. Get take out from a restaurant.

[dusk garden]

I gotta stay sober tonight unfortunately

[amber warren]

Wtf how much are tacos ?

[dusk garden]

Ghibli tomorrow

[glacial drift]

Yeah I can go to a real burger place in SF of all places for the price of mcds

[amber warren]

I’ll get drunk with anyone tonight and still make it to the Sanrio park

[ionic iris]

Mcd doesn’t sell tacos? Taco Bell ya mean? I think they raised it to $2 for 2 tacos😭

[amber warren]

No I mean street tacos

[glacial drift]

LatAm just has ridiculous import taxes and US is the closest

The 2 for 1 tacos at Jack in the box were offensive

[ionic iris]

Depends. Some around 3-5. Can find some local spots for 2ish but slim pickings like the NYC $1 pizza

[amber warren]

Ahh

[sacred valley]

good ole days are gone

[glacial drift]

I’ve seen 10 dollar shrimp tacos from taquerias these days

DoorDash markup but still

Tf

[sacred valley]

doordash fees are crazy

it’s like 20$ plus if u order 20$ wroth of food

[wraith sun]

Don't forget tipping culture 😂

[sacred valley]

AND TIP

[ionic iris]

Fuck tipping. When did 15% become 25..

I still do 10-15%. Got me fucked up. Raise the prices and the tip%. Math ain’t mathing

[fallen pasture]

Y’all need #shopping and #food

[dusk garden]

Ts looking good so far

[harsh sigil]

My train back to Tokyo to catch my flight is at 2 tomorrow so prob before lunch. About to head to get okonomiyaki in Namba before heading to sumo.

[stray scarab]

I booked for the 28th @9am 🙋🏻‍♀️

[tawny sigil]

If you guys wanted to you could easily do them both in one day and not feel rushed I did 9 am and then did 2 pm for the other and had time to stop and grab lunch still

[stray scarab]

Was it by chance on a Tuesday? It looks like it was closed the past 3 Tuesdays. Otherwise it’s open

[mortal tundra]

there are two ?

[soft cape]

What's the best place to get a suitcase? I may have bought one or ten too many things.

[dusty scroll]

That could be good to know Thanks!

[dusty scroll]

Well I don’t know about their Quality but Don Qijote in major cities offer them

[soft cape]

Oh, I have been meaning to stop by one, haven't had the chance yet. Thanks, will check today or tomorrow.

[dusk bison]

If you want something that you may actually use again and already have a carry on bag then go to Muji and get one of their collapsible bags and put your carry on stuff in that and check your carry on bag.

I did the Don Qijote last time and the bag quality was crap.

[dusk bison]

Like this. https://www.muji.com/jp/ja/store/cmdty/detail/4550583529444

[ashen tangle]

I looked back at previous messages. Looks like @stray summit and @raven mist did as well. I can make a group chat once confirmed

[stray summit]

Yessir

[dusk bison]

Go there for your KitKats to take home though.

[viral drift]

Word i got both wasabi and plum sake flavours today

[dense ferry]

[soft cape]

[amber warren]

In saitama for there thrift week

[stiff kite]

Yes one in kanagawa one in ishikawa

[plush silo]

I've got a free eve if anyone is up for shibuya or shinjuku tonight 🍻

[dusk garden]

Bout to be in Nakano Broadway if someone wants donuts. My eyes bigger than stomach

The 4 I ate were excellent though

[fallen pasture]

Excellent party in Shimokitazawa tonight
https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/C4aGEGDyyuD/

[whole saffron]

Same

[nimble lake]

anyone in Kyoto? Or have any recommendations for evening spots which don't feel overly touristy!

[wraith sun]

Otagi Nenbutsuji is pretty close to bamboo garden

Went there last time to skirt around the crowds

[dusk bison]

Rocking Chair Bar has great cocktails.

Can be harder to get into later in the night though.

[dusk bison]

Just FYI it seems not many of the stores carry the big bag. Use the store inventory button on the website to find one before you go. Seems Kyoto and Kobe stores have them.

[mental dust]

Same, I'm down!

[plush silo]

@whole saffron @mental dust have you guys been to perfect beer in shinkjuku?

[whole saffron]

Nope!

[plush silo]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/mkURfyELvi1YAgqn7 looks cool!

I'll be free from 7 if you guys want to meet there?

[soft cape]

Ah, thanks for the heads up.

[dusty scroll]

Jingo-Ji temple is very beautiful and if your into hiking there is a nice route starting adashino nenbutsu-ji

[mental dust]

Nope, but I'd love to try the 100% foam beer 🤤

[plush silo]

Haha I think it's a must

Like a real local

[mental dust]

Definitely down to try though. The karaage looks real good too

[plush silo]

Yea food looks good, shall we say 7 there?

[tawny sigil]

100% go me and @viral drift had a group go the other day was really good

[mental dust]

7 sounds good

[reef burrow]

in Akiba rn, but hotel in Shinjuku

[tight flax]

For Osaka people, someone on Reddit is selling 5 tickets for tomorrow sumo match, in the ISU chair seats D section. He is trying to sell all 5 together and not split em up, 25k total (5k per ticket). Anyone interested? If we can get a group of 5, I'll message the dude

[tawny sigil]

Chicken was also delicious @plush silo the teriyaki tartar one I would go back to there just for it

[tawny sigil]

What time is it?

[tight flax]

Let me find out

[tawny sigil]

I’m not supposed to be in Osaka until closer to 3 but if its after that I could be interested to go check it out

[whole saffron]

Yeah that works for me. I think i might make it a little later though not 100% sure yet

[tight flax]

Ok good to know

[harsh raven]

Do you fish there?

[tight flax]

@viral drift you said sumo begins what time again? Can't find schedule online lol

[azure zodiac]

If you prefer cola over beer, there's a fantastic cola place in Shibuya and Shinjuku

[midnight hull]

I need the details

[weak wind]

Should start hella early btw, mornings

[tight flax]

@tawny sigil the guy selling told me it's officially from 830am till 6pm but main matches from 2pm till 6

[tight flax]

Yeah the guy just confirmed that. But I think most people go just for the main matches I've heard

[azure zodiac]

@midnight hull https://maps.app.goo.gl/xBZPabfmtq35XH1t9

I strongly recommend you try the top 2 flavors first, but I would tell you to try 3-4 different flavors

https://maps.app.goo.gl/myhgarXwrZvYpa7o7

[tawny sigil]

Damn I’ll miss most of it probably then so probably not worth it I’m moving from kawaguchiko so around 3 I’ll get to my next hotel and after checking in and getting there would be who knows when

[midnight hull]

Ooo. Thanks @azure zodiac

[tight flax]

Nice find thanks . Btw I texted you

[azure zodiac]

I think I can safely say its the best cola I've ever had in my life

Its so refreshing to drink and the spices really give it a smooth and fun taste

[tight flax]

Yeah understandable

[whole saffron]

@plush silo 7 should work actually.

[plush silo]

Cool, sounds good!

[hidden jay]

I’d be up for that if there’s still one available

[tight flax]

Nice, will keep you posted. We just need one more it seems like

[viral drift]

Second division starts around 2:30, top division starts around 4

Stadium was half empty until 4

[subtle spire]

Im down to check out that beer bar as well. If youll have me.

[ashen tangle]

So this is done on purpose!?

[tawny sigil]

Yes Japan likes larger heads on a beer in general @viral drift sent a photo the other day of a 90% head beer from there lol

[tawny sigil]

Hmmm still would be a close time and part of me would still want to go see most of them lol

[ashen tangle]

I saw that one lol

That one had to be a joke

[tawny sigil]

It’s apparently not an uncommon thing

[ashen tangle]

Wow

[tawny sigil]

I mean apparently it’s supposed to make it more creamy and soft to drink or something I mean I know the head mead more air which can change the taste and complexity so it’s not always a bad thing if the beer is meant to be poured with larger heads

[plush silo]

of course! feel free to come along from around 7

[subtle spire]

Wonderful. Ill see you all then.

[ashen tangle]

Yeah I can see that. Just lose out on beer

[ionic iris]

Can I slide thru also?

[plush silo]

Sure thing - open invite!

[ionic iris]

Might arrive early. Been shopping all day in Akihabara and heading to shinjuku now

[whole saffron]

Woooo

Gonna be lit

[nimble lake]

Rented a bike and cycled around for the day which was lovely. Now at my hotel - not sure what I'll get up to tonight.

[reef burrow]

renting a motorcycle tmrw to checkout izu skyline

[ionic iris]

[amber warren]

We can head to golden gai after 😉😏😂

[whole saffron]

Love this big group forming hahaha

[mental dust]

Worst case I can book it to an izakaya to wait-list us. Not sure how long that'd be tho 😅

[midnight hull]

Can vouch, beer there is good and chicken

[plush silo]

yea I'm down for wherever didn't expect so many haha

[midnight hull]

Its a small spot fyi, so if there's a large group might a bit a hard

[mental dust]

I was low-key disappointed yesterday night passing by. I heard it was a touristy thing but man. A lot of random cover/otoshi too

[amber warren]

Cool if not I can ask my local friend to see where are the more bars

[whole saffron]

Yerppp

[plush silo]

last time I went was 5 of us and we took the whole bar(s) haha

[plush silo]

yea could be a good shout

maybe we just meet at Shinjuku Uniqlo and go from there?

[amber warren]

Yea im down for that

[whole saffron]

Can you send the gmaps?

[plush silo]

@whole saffron @amber warren @mental dust @icy oxide @brisk egret @ionic iris @subtle spire as there's 8-9 of us it might be hard to find a spot - shall we meet at the Uniqlo next to Shinjuku station? https://maps.app.goo.gl/NQEnGcRhPbTLWQgY6

[whole saffron]

Thanks dawg perfect for me !

[brisk egret]

Sounds good to me! Cheers!

[whole saffron]

Ahh so lucky

[dusk bison]

Service is terrible at the venue and no WiFi

If you wait for the end it is a madhouse to get out

[fallen pasture]

[fallen pasture]

This party is organised by one of the most popular guys in Shimokitazawa—he’s in an awesome band and has brought in several more as well as a bunch of the DJs he knows. One of the bands is from the UK and the organiser lived there for a while too so there will be lots of English speakers and just the best party atmosphere. Unique one-off party you won’t find anywhere else

[ionic iris]

Best beer is in Bavaria tbh lol

[mental dust]

It's also till 5am 👀 Might be down to join later in the night myself

[weak wind]

If you want some more local fun you could head over to Kichijoji harmonica yokocho (north from the station and hanbey or other bars south from the station

You’d probably have to grab the last (or first) train back tho

[whole saffron]

Kichijoji is a fun time

[dusk garden]

She asked me about my travels with google translate and then at the end she gave me a water to take home.

[harsh sigil]

[icy oxide]

@whole saffron u guys still there

Or @plush silo

[distant pollen]

I have arrived in Tokyo and am here until Sunday. I’m at the komagome station which is at the top of the green circle metro (which I believe connects all of inner Tokyo.

I just settled in but I want some food and drinks

39 Florida man, today was a long day of traveling 🙃🙃🙃

[dusk garden]

Yeah I think I'm gonna skip the show at Three
Long day, and it's a lot of work to go out for two hours

and then rush back home for train

[ashen tangle]

Whens peak bloom in Tokyo?

[dusk garden]

Don't feel like doing the 35 minute Shinjuku to Akebonobashi walk for the third time this week

[dusk garden]

https://www.japan-guide.com/sakura/

[distant pollen]

Yes the train concerns me. I hear taxis are expensive. I saw some said the blooms are amazing at nakameguro where they hang over the water by the bridge. Might check that out tomorrow

[distant pollen]

I heard they be blooming’ now!

[ionic iris]

On my way back

[ashen tangle]

Looks like I’ll be there for the perfect time

[whole saffron]

Yeah

We’re at the family mart across the street from the Uniqlo

[icy oxide]

Just got here

[icy oxide]

O okok

[whole saffron]

We’re grouped up in front of the fam mart drinking

[dusk garden]

some are

seen a bunch

But usually its only a few trees out of a park

[whole saffron]

@icy oxide

[distant pollen]

Nice - that’s right it’s open container here.

[whole saffron]

We’re moving again @icy oxide

[icy oxide]

[whole saffron]

[icy oxide]

Niceu omw

[whole saffron]

What y’s your eta?

[whole saffron]

You just land?

[distant pollen]

I landed at 430 but I took my sweet time getting from airport to Airbnb. Which was about 30 minutes ago

[sacred valley]

bro i gotta go to bar once while im here

but i pass out at 8 and i hate bars

[dusk garden]

tbh

bars kinda overated

unless you wanna get wrecked in a social place

if you like riding buzzed

walking around is cheaper and more fun

[whole saffron]

3rd floor turteigz

[dusk garden]

Why the fuck would I pay 700 to 1000 yen per drink

when I can pay 200yen for a tall boy and make Tokyo my bar

If there is an event or if you are looking for action, I can see it

but otherwise, its over-rated

[sacred valley]

i’m also straight up not a drinker which i should’ve said

but yeah i’ll think on it some more

[dusk garden]

honestly, if you don't like bars, you probably won't like bars in Tokyo

IMO

I prefer the live shows

Social drunk spaces

cheaper drinks it seeems

cool people

and live music

bars do have events though

[icy oxide]

I’m here

[icy oxide]

Oh

Ok

[whole saffron]

Lemme come get you

Im wearing a cream shirt black sweats and New Balance

[icy oxide]

I’m wearing green jacket

[whole saffron]

Random question - how cold does it feel in Tokyo? I arrive next week and am preparing down jackets and thermals, but the awesome group photo someone posted tonight makes it look like t-shirts and light jackets are fine?

[dusk garden]

Bring at least a windbreaker

And layers to go under

Next week Is gonna be cold again with less sun

I have a fleece and windbreaker

And hoodie

[amber warren]

Just got back to my hotel 💀🤣

[ionic iris]

lol do tell. Im on 2 hours of sleep and need a story for my train ride to Nikko

[ionic iris]

Fs check any police stations or lost and found. 80-90% chance someone turned it in.

[tight flax]

@hidden jay @vocal dome @weak wind unfortunately the reddit guy did not get back to me, so it seems it's a no go on the sumo Tix today. If anything changes I'll let y'all know

[wraith sun]

Finally on the train back to Tokyo

[hidden jay]

Dang, keep us posted I guess. On the off chance they do get back to you, what time does it start?

[dusk bison]

The low ranks started at 8:30 am

That is yesterday’s.

Most do not get there before 3 or so.

[hidden jay]

Oh I didn’t realize it was an all day thing

[whole saffron]

I messaged them again, but so far nothing. And yeah it's all day but 2-3 is when people start going I think

@dusk bison still going to the sake cellar to taste some sake at 11?

Was recommended this udon spot that is a few minutes walk from the sake spot

https://maps.app.goo.gl/pjUWjNqKEdG5vNMw9

[dusk bison]

Yep

[subtle spire]

Bruv i needed like 8 more of those ginger drinks

[tight flax]

Ok cool

[distant pollen]

Apparently NO one wears shorts

Here’s me in my gym shorts

[amber warren]

What’s good food for a hangover

[fallen pasture]

Japanese people will tell you the answer is ramen

but specifically eaten on the way back home at like 4am

Hangover symptoms are largely caused by dehydration so get some water in you 👍

[tight flax]

Is it shorts weather in Tokyo? Here in Osaka it's getting a tiny bit warmer, but definitely not shorts weather yet

[fallen pasture]

It's definitely not calendar-approved shorts season in Tokyo yet

[tight flax]

Was gonna say ramen too. And maybe drink a pocari sweat

[distant pollen]

I mean - it is for me! Florida man here. We kill for this weather

[harsh raven]

Facts

[fallen pasture]

Japanese people decide their wardrobe based on the calendar, and if you wear stuff out of season they think you are really weird

[harsh raven]

Also facts

[tight flax]

Ah yeah makes sense

[fallen pasture]

Shorts will be acceptable from June. Even then they're not that popular

[harsh raven]

[tight flax]

I lived in San Diego for 8 years, but I need it to be 70+ for shorts. 50s and 60s still pants for me

Maybe high 60s and sunny, shorts is cool

[distant pollen]

Yeah that makes sense — your summers are cooler compared to Florida humidity.

[tight flax]

Oh yeah your humidity down there is fucking brutal

[dusk garden]

I saw a dude in shorts last night

I was shocked

it was warmish, but not that warm

[whole saffron]

😭😂

[dusk garden]

though, I guess, not that shocked

[whole saffron]

Im out here thinking the same bro

[dusk garden]

I see people in shorts dead of winter when i live

0 degree weather

Farenheit

[tight flax]

Shorts in zero? That's bonkers

[dusk garden]

New Hampshire teenagers are furnaces

[distant pollen]

Canadian? They wild in Canada

[dusk garden]

Close, New Hampshire

so basically

[tight flax]

God damn, new england winter in shorts. That's fucking absurd

[amber warren]

Wondering around Tokyo at 4am is fun

Especially drunk

[whole saffron]

I was getting harassed last night for happy endings and massages

NO MEANS NO!!!

[harsh raven]

[dusk garden]

agreed

[fallen pasture]

shoulda gone to shimokita bro

shinjuku is like that

and dogenzaka in shibuya

[whole saffron]

It is what it is night was fun

Drunk walk home always slaps

[amber warren]

Same I was to didn’t fold

[whole saffron]

LMFAOO

[amber warren]

Heading to yokohoma in abt 2 hrs

If anyone wants to join for the gundam statue

[fallow plinth]

Crazy how no one knows what is behind the Meji Shrine. Everyone rushes in through the front gate and immediately leaves through it again.

[reef burrow]

there rn

[boreal lake]

anyone in hiroshima?

[dusk garden]

Doing Tokyo harbor if anyone is interested.

Just walking about

Omw to Tokyo station now via marinouchi

[reef burrow]

Anyone in Yokohama looking to get lunch?

[amber warren]

Barley on my way been throwing up all the alcohol 💀

[mental dust]

Ya gotta drink water and either pocari sweat or some juice 🧃

[amber warren]

Yea I did

[midnight hull]

@azure zodiac I've tried out that cola bar. It's pretty good, a lot more herbal forward

Their recommended reminds be a bit of thumbs up but better carbonation

[unkempt sun]

Hanging in Osaka

[mortal tundra]

theyre speedrunning it unlike the rest of us noobs

[vague yoke]

how long do you stay there?

[dusk garden]

Just now getting to the harbor area

Should have gotten of closer

Via train

[fallow plinth]

originally I planned too much but after cutting something here and there it is much more enjoyable

just enjoy doing nothing

[hidden jay]

Found some cherry blossoms starting to bloom in Nara

[boreal lake]

sunday afternoon

[harsh sigil]

@fallen pasture god bless u for that recommendation the temple was amazing, the walk by the river was amazing, didn't see a single gaijin, and had lunch in the most amazing tiny shokudou staffed by a single old guy was legit 11/10 hand made pudding best misoshiru ever ty so much habo

[torpid topaz]

Hey all,

Thinking of Exploring Shinjuku on 22/03
Shibuya and Harajuku on 23/03
Akihabara on 24/03
(I have read the Akihabara streets are closed for vehicles from 1-5 Pm on every Sunday)

If anyone is interested/planning likewise, would love to tag along

[subtle spire]

Yea they were quite aggressive. Took like 5 no's for one of them to leave me alone.

They see drunk gaijin stumbling out of bars and I'm sure they are like "bingo"

easy mark

[silver surge]

Hi everyone,

Mar 26 - 31 Osaka home base. Day trips to Kyoto, Nara, Kobe & Himeji
Mar 31 - Apr 3 Kanazawa
Apr 3 - Apr 7 Tokyo

[ionic iris]

Apparently I was pushing one of the touts into a car….?🤣

[subtle spire]

lol you have become the tout now

you uno reversed him

[ionic iris]

And he tried to play the gaijin card “hey don’t push me man” haha i just removed him from my personal space.

What’s the game plan for tn?

[fallen pasture]

If you like hip-hop, Ebisu Batica

I will be going to Zero Tokyo

Your options #1217967121372545064 message

[hidden jay]

I’m gonna hit a bouldering gym in Osaka tonight if anyone is interested

[mental dust]

Yeah he was 100% trying to start something. Reminds me of the insurance scams in some countries lol

[subtle spire]

Im down for whatever

[mental dust]

Down to get a bar crawl going. I might also checkout the Zero Tokyo show later in the night

[whole saffron]

Did you have to pay for the statue viewing in advance?

I’m trying to go to that and odaiba tmm

[amber warren]

No I didn’t

[whole saffron]

Lmfao right!

[whole saffron]

Fuck yeah thank you

[azure zodiac]

I'm glad you got to try it out and that you liked it!

[whole saffron]

I think ill die if I drink again but im down to hang

😂

Im paying the price still

[subtle spire]

Yea im going slower tonight as well. No flasks of suntori.

[mental dust]

Y'all need to stock up your fridges with liquids and put a reminder to hydrate before bed 😭

Or better yet hydrate at the time of lol

[ionic iris]

Did you drink the ginger shot?

[whole saffron]

Lol on my JOURNEY back home on foot I got an ice cold water and probably only took about two sips before passing out 😂

[tawny sigil]

A water for every drink is what I always tell myself usually ends to being 2 drinks or 3 for every water but it never fails me

[mental dust]

Ya but it almost certainly didn't help on its own. I was hydrating throughout the night + before bed

[ionic iris]

Get two shots then

Ohhh did you drink em before or after you started drinking?

[ashen tangle]

If you don’t think the water helped, just know it could have been worse without the water 🤣

[whole saffron]

@plush silo any luck with the phone and key?

[mental dust]

It was just the one shot before we went to Warp

[plush silo]

Found my phone 🙌 lost key and credit card though

[ionic iris]

Drink the ginger before any alcohol. Doesn’t work to well if you’re already drinking I noticed. Or placebo. One of the two lol

[mental dust]

Ah shoot sorry to hear, hope it's a quick resolution. At least ya got your phone back 🙏

[ionic iris]

Cancel that bihhh. But glad ya got your phone

[plush silo]

yea have frozen it! pain in the ass haha

[whole saffron]

Damn. At least those are easier to replace vs the phone and shit

[plush silo]

yea man someone handed it into the police station luckily

[ionic iris]

Told ya it’d be at a police station! They don’t steal here. Just bikes and umbrellas lol

[tawny sigil]

Just got to Osaka

[weak wind]

Drinks in osaka tonight?

[tawny sigil]

Glad you got it back the key was to the apartment right? Any luck getting a copy to get in and all yet?

[tawny sigil]

Could be down for a few drinks and dinner later but doing USJ in the morning so don’t wanna be up to late so I can make sure I get there at a good time

[weak wind]

Sure thing always up for dinner, anything specific you wanna try out? Got loads of recs from locals

[tawny sigil]

Im game for whatever I’ve not had a bad meal yet here honestly

[weak wind]

Bad meals are nearly impossible, only in the worst of tourist traps even regular tourist traps are good just a bit more expensive. Yakiniku sounds good?

[tawny sigil]

Sounds perfect to me

I’m near the Namba area if that helps at all

[sacred valley]

mind if i join in for dinner

[sacred valley]

?

[tawny sigil]

I just got here from kawaguchiko and it’s hot I don’t even need my jacket rights

But I’m cool with it as long as they are

[weak wind]

Ofc you can join for dinner

Btw you had any specific times in mind?

[sacred valley]

sweet just lmk where we meeting up

[tawny sigil]

My hotel check in is at 5 wouldn’t mind doing after that but other then that don’t mind at all

I’m checking out Osaka castle now

[sacred valley]

i’m fine with after 5

i gotta withdraw some cash anyway and i’m still coming back from Minho

[tight flax]

@weak wind which yakiniku did locals recommend?

https://maps.app.goo.gl/E876ocVTYkXhZKX47

https://maps.app.goo.gl/LU9EeuKE4BP2cAoX8

[whole saffron]

Tokyo gang hit me up if you guys want to go out again tonight! I need a nap lol

[tight flax]

Those are the 4 on my list of recs. But haven't gotten around to trying any of em yet lol

[weak wind]

Kitan got recommended but its expensive, probably around 10k yen

[tight flax]

Yeah all 4 might be pricey cuz the friends who recommended them recommended the higher end meat spots I guess. Maybe it's why I haven't tried any of them yet lol

I think 3 were recommended by friends and one was recommended here in the discord actually, but can't recall which

[weak wind]

Wagyu Volcano OAGARI might also be interesting

But its not yakiniku

[tight flax]

I think Kitan is aged wagyu, so assume that's why it's high priced

[tight flax]

They have Osaka branch? I only see kyoto

[weak wind]

Might have gotten mixed up in my recs

Its in my osaka list tho

@tawny sigil @sacred valley 5ish is good, im daydrinking rn because in japan you do like the japanese

[tight flax]

I might be down to join y'all for dinner if that's cool @tawny sigil @sacred valley @weak wind

[tawny sigil]

I’ll let you guys know when I am checked in

[tight flax]

See if I finish up by 5ish
