[shadow vector]

Is the yamanote line delayed again?

Google says so

[jaunty blaze]

I was just on it and it seemed fine

Got on at Yoyogi to Shibuya

[graceful mural]

In Kobe tonight. Down to hit a bar maybe

Hmu

[compact lark]

Any recommendations for all you can eat Yakiniku in Shinjuku?

[vale siren]

Rokkasen but you need to reserve

[mystic laurel]

[azure gull]

We are drinking at a cocktail bar right now

[brazen lynx]

[mystic laurel]

[azure gull]

Yeah we are leaving after one drink here so I’ll let you know where we go

[azure gull]

We are actually going to Shinjuku now

[mystic laurel]

I'm assuming Kabukicho?

[naive sable]

Is this a metal show?

[stable hatch]

No it’s like club and some hardcore elements

[naive sable]

Ah ok. The font of the headliner has some similarities to some metal fonts lol

[stable hatch]

Nah that’s the name of the party

[naive sable]

Ah ok

[stable hatch]

A little bit of this a little bit of that @naive sable

[naive sable]

Cool will check it out thanks

[ornate stratus]

Where in tokyo has a higher chance for me to find people to drink with in family mart?

Or its just shibuya

[grave sequoia]

The FamilyMart with a bar in it maybe https://www.timeout.com/tokyo/news/this-familymart-in-shibuya-has-a-hidden-bar-serving-japanese-whisky-and-cocktails-100223

Otherwise it’s just Shibuya, they call the Center-gai one Gaijinmart for a reason

It’s where people wash up when they don’t know anywhere better to go

[ornate stratus]

Hmm well i should head to gaijinmart some day then

I want to go to izakaya but i cant do that alon

[grave sequoia]

If you know better places to go then you don’t need to go to Gaijinmart

https://maps.app.goo.gl/bimvn62DUU4RJ7Z29?g_st=i

[jaunty blaze]

Gaijin Family Mart outside on Fridays, Saturday, possibly more times lol

[jaunty blaze]

😂 that was me last week but pretty fun

[ornate stratus]

Too late lol Friday was awful for me

Every Japanese was out drinking with coworkers

All bars were full in kanda

[late ginkgo]

Hey there. I'm looking to meet up with some people for the week that I'll be on Osaka in April 22nd to 29th. Do people usually meet ad hoc the day of? I'm scrolling through the Discord and Line and I read a lot of day-of conversations.

[still rover]

It kind of varies. That day was more because of someone's unfortunate break up and others just landing in Osaka, but people always seem down to plan more concrete meet ups

Just need to either be the one to suggest it or hope someone else does

I know one of the days you're in Osaka, I plan on taking the train to Osaka to browse some street food in Dotonbori

[open aurora]

I'm in Osaka starting today if anyone wants to meet up for drinks tonight in Dotenburi

[molten umbra]

i'll be in kyoto that week! (planning day trips to osaka 🙂 )

[iron stag]

Last day in Osaka for me I might be down for drinks later

[modest silo]

Rainy day in takayama

[worn spindle]

anyone still going to yoshino?

[shadow vector]

It's fucking pouring in Tokyo

[wooden garden]

Same in Kanazawa

[errant topaz]

Nvm, posting it in #planning-and-itineraries , cya in a week.

[hardy jay]

I picked a hell of a day to do souvenir shopping 😑

[naive sable]

Idk, I'd say this weather is perfect for shopping since most shopping is indoors

But maybe shops are crowded cuz all foreigners have the same idea?

[shadow vector]

I'm trying to figure where to camp for the next 5 hours so I can take pics

[vale siren]

I had to walk from my hotel to bus stop in the rain with all my luggage. 20 min struggle

I been going here many times but this trip was probably the best one. Shoutouts to the Bocchi gang and everyone else I met. Didn’t expect it to be this much fun.

[vestal vapor]

Takeshita street is not too crowded for once, with only light rain if people are looking for something to do.

[visual osprey]

If anyone wants to grab yakitori at a nice spot on Thursday, I'm looking for a second to fulfill the 2 person reservation I made: #1226745770586144770 message

[modest silo]

Perfect day for doing laundry and visiting a bathhouse

[shadow vector]

Welp it stopped raining

[modest silo]

Says it's gonna start raining again soon in takayama. I planned 2 active days and 1 rest day while here. So I just moved by rest day to today

[shadow vector]

The forecast for Tokyo says non stop raining but the worst ends at 3

[raw pumice]

Hey everyone, I’ll be making my way from Thailand on 11-16 April. Mainly in Kyoto and Tokyo. How’s the weather there now. Becuase I keep getting mixed info. On the weather there.

[delicate viper]

It's a mixed bag. Combo of overcast, sunny, and rainy. Riiiigght now in Kyoto, it's overcast.

[shadow vector]

Good luck to everyone trying to see Sakura next week in Tokyo. The floor is littered with petals right now

[grave sequoia]

Hi, if you’re not in Japan yet please change to a role that isn’t ’Visitor in Japan’ id:customize

[raw pumice]

Ok. Thanks for the reply.

[raw pumice]

Done 🐾

[grave sequoia]

April showers

[raw pumice]

Thanks I figure and almost forgot about seasons. It’s just always hot and rainy over here in Thailand. 😹😹

[grave sequoia]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo#Climate

[cinder oracle]

Hello hello! I'm Charlie -- I'm a recently turned 30 year old Korean American male visiting Tokyo from New York! I'm here until April 23rd (doing my first bit of solo travel until the 14th and meeting some friends who are flying in afterwards). I'd love to hang out with anyone that's around!

I'm big into climbing and inline skating (brought my shoes and skates along) so if anyone wants to do either, let me know! I'm also into games and anime so I'll definitely be hitting all the key spots.

[worn spindle]

Hey 32m from cali, ill be in tokyo from 16-22

looking at lisa tickets on the 19th atm, didn't know she was performing

[naive sable]

Leaving during the Songkran festivities huh

@raw pumice it's been getting warmer, but still plenty of overcast and rain so bring a jacket for sure

[raw pumice]

Oh yeah. I live here in Thailand for almost a decade so I’m not missing anyting. Just want to change the scenery and weather.

[raw pumice]

Also thanks for your reply. Much appreciated. I’ll bring a light jacket/hoodie

[naive sable]

Are you Thai? If not, can I DM you about potentially staying long term in Thailand as an American

[naive sable]

No problem

[raw pumice]

Nope. I’m American and I own a business out here. But thanks for the offer. How you think I’ve been able to live here for almost a decade?👀😹😹😹

[grave sequoia]

Insane party in Shimokita tonight
https://fxtwitter.com/sorrynocamisole/status/1769749598229164270

[naive sable]

That's what I wanted to inquire about lol. Wasn't offering anything, was genuinely curious as I am now dating someone in chiang Mai, plan to go back there to be with her in August, and am trying to figure out if there are any feasible ways to stay long term without visa runs lol.

So I take it owning a business in Thailand is the only realistic way most likely

[wooden garden]

If she has friends do let me know

[raw pumice]

Oh I completely took what you said out of context. My bad 😹😹but

[naive sable]

All good

[raw pumice]

Nope. Just one of the many ways. You can get a job teaching.. I know I know. But it’s one do the quickest way to get a sponsored work visa. Do yoi mind if I PM you? I dot want to flood a Japan chat with Thailand.

[naive sable]

Yeah totally fine

[faint schooner]

Lovely rainy day at Senso Ji. Petrichor and incense blend nicely. Anybody near ueno or ameyoko right now that wants to link up for a biru?

[tame veldt]

@faint schooner check dm

[final lotus]

Any folks in kyoto?

[wicked crow]

Yo. We're stopping at the hotel for now but plan to look for sushi in Gion

[final lotus]

@wicked crow we are going for drinks tonight at a bar in kawaramachi idk if you are interested

[wicked crow]

Ah I can't drink sadly T.T but thank you for the invite!

[jaunty blaze]

is it still raining in tokyo? wanted to go out to take photos

[grave sequoia]

Why can’t you look outside…

[jaunty blaze]

I did. Couldn't tell well from the angle of my building 🥲

And didn't see anyone walking

[vestal vapor]

It was not raining and pleasant when I left Harajuku 10 minutes ago

[vestal vapor]

Lines for donuts however were insane

[jaunty blaze]

Dang, ok no photos for today then

[hardy jay]

Asking the real philosophical questions 🤔

[jaunty blaze]

Yeah, that chain always has a long lineup. Pretty good donuts though but maybe not worth waiting too long for it lol

[vestal vapor]

I passed by when I first arrived and it was raining, and the line was just as long!

[vestal vapor]

Sorry, I meant it had stopped raining and was pleasantly cool so worth going out for photos.

[tame veldt]

Lol

[shadow vector]

It's windy as fuck

[mystic laurel]

Anyone for drinks in Shibuya today?

[grave sequoia]

Come to Shimoooo it’s better than Shibuyaaaaa #1173234572431999099 message

[final lotus]

Anyone down for drinks in kyoto tonight?

[modest silo]

Looking forward to reaching tokyo in 3 days. Its been 3 weeks of traveling and I'm ending my trip with 5 days in Tokyo.

[graceful mural]

Going to Crazy Burrito in Kobe if anyone is around

Down for drinks after

https://maps.app.goo.gl/oafqT6x3NUU5eNF4A

[modest silo]

How crazy is it?

[graceful mural]

Insane

[graceful mural]

It was pretty good. They actually have a sizable vegan menu despite being an omnivore establishment.

Good burrito. Bit pricy, but not insane.

Two good meals in one day. Kobe hitting it out the park.

Reasonable drinks too.

Large, somewhat strong chu his for 400 yen

[modest silo]

Too bad you need to go into a padded cell now

[jaunty blaze]

Who's going to this?

[grave sequoia]

One more person in the LINE group said they are

[cinder oracle]

Me!

[cinder oracle]

Are y'all there already?

[grave sequoia]

Not yet I'm leaving the house soon

[jaunty blaze]

Saw people going in

[cinder oracle]

Aww come thru!

[jaunty blaze]

Feeling too tired today haha. Wasn't even planning coming to Shimokitazawa but just went there for 30mins and heading to Shibuya now. I'll try to join up for future ones though 👍

[cinder oracle]

Bleach blond hair, white t shirt leather jacket

[toxic marten]

[graceful mural]

Pretty funny accidentally walking into spread

It was kinda hard to find for me and another pair

Speaking of, I hope Nile was alright @grave sequoia. He was pretty drunk when we left him.

Bro was vibin

[tacit scroll]

Just checking if anyone is gonna be in Nikko from 25-26, looking to do Senjogahara walk/hike, would be nice to have some company!

[grave sequoia]

Shits crazy bro so many people here

You wouldn’t believe it was a Tuesday

[oblique glen]

Hey! I’m using my brothers discord account. My name is Carolin and I’m visiting the Ghibli Park in Nagoya tomorrow. This is super short notice, but my brother can’t come and I have a spare ticket (normal pass) under my name.
Since the tickets are quite hard to get, I thought someone might be happy to join!
I’m travelling from Kyoto early in the morning so if someone wants to join me, maybe in Nagoya even I’d be happy!

[graceful mural]

Imo post to general as well.

We all love free shit

[cinder oracle]

Was a dope show - good meeting you and thanks for the invite @grave sequoia !

[grave sequoia]

Thank you for pulling up!!!

[steel creek]

I was going to try to drag Miguel out to one last show but he's put off packing to the last minute so I don't think it's happening 😌

[late ginkgo]

Hi Jay, I'm just looking to plan more. So you'll be in Osaka area between 4/22 and 4/29? Can you tell me more?
For reference, I'm 30 years old man, traveling to Hong Kong first and then flying to JP to escape the heat. I'm from NYC and I work in technology. What about you?

Anyone else in the area who want to hang out? I'm traveling solo and don't have any plans. I welcome company.

[still rover]

I'll be in Kyoto but Osaka is just a short ride away. There's a couple of days I plan on going to Osaka, just need to confirm the day, but it would be before the 25th.

I'm 25m

[late ginkgo]

Nice...are you traveling solo? I was originally suppose to visit China, had all my contacts mapped out. Then China denied my visa so I'm stuck in Hong Kong looking for somewhere to go 🙂

[still rover]

Yup! I think most of us are solo travellers

[remote halo]

Anyone who will be at Miyako Odoru 04/15 in Kyoto?!

[turbid ledge]

Hi all! Will be in Tokyo from April 24th to May 4th, then I'll start my almost 2 months long tour throughout the country! Hope to have the chance to grab a drink with some of you!

[rose garnet]

Ill be there the same time!

Keen for a few beers

[grave sequoia]

Just another reminder to everyone’s who’s here to join the party on 27th April #april message

[still rover]

Hey there, definitely check out the excel sheet that's pinned at the top. You'll find people all over the country this month so should be easy to find some friends

[turbid ledge]

[wooden garden]

[tardy dagger]

Can you get a ticket at the door? Or is this a prebook get yourself on a list situation

[wooden garden]

Door

[tardy dagger]

I still haven't been to a live show yet and I'm a fan of funk/house

[wooden garden]

At least it says that on the website

[tardy dagger]

It says starts at 5 but I prob wouldn't go till after supper and I drop off my shopping at a locker at shibuya station so I'd say I'd be able to go by 7

[wooden garden]

I’m thinking around 17:30/18 cause I got dinner at 8pm

Not sure if later, haven’t decided but prob before

[grave sequoia]

The names listed along the top are not music artists but rather stalls for shopping. It’s a market event in a DJ bar

[tardy dagger]

So it's not a show?

[grave sequoia]

No. But there will be DJs making a vibe

https://maps.app.goo.gl/zd65nvaeHTAL2mDg7?g_st=ic

[wooden garden]

Doona is a lot of fun, last time I took a bunch of gaijin to see them they all wanted to be the band’s friends because they were so cool haha

https://youtu.be/aeBFdXvc1L8?si=y1OUPBy9jyJQNKYw

[tardy dagger]

That looks fun. Buy tix at door?

[grave sequoia]

Yep, you can reserve tickets but there’s no discount or anything for doing so

by DMing one of the artists or through the venue’s contact page. You tell them a name and number of tickets http://spaceodd.jp/contact/

[wooden garden]

There’s also WOMB WTW night tonight (techno/techhouse)

Is it a big club?

[grave sequoia]

Yeah WOMB is one of the massive ones

[wooden garden]

Not the biggest fan of big clubs tbh, I’ll def try it once but also, got any recs for smaller ones for house/techno or alternative EDM ? Thanks for keeping us all informed btw !

[cinder oracle]

I'm gonna be doing some bouldering tonight, either at B-PUMP or BOULCOM if anyone's down to join!

[safe jolt]

That’s a tough one

[naive sable]

Hookah prices seem to be in the 2-3k range, And many places in Japan have cover charge and drink minimum..but the 1500 partner sharing charge seems wild

[final lotus]

I'll be in osaka with my friend from Saturday. We plan to go party on Saturday normally

[smoky verge]

Possibly, if I finish up in Kanagawa by 5:30 I should be back in time

[visual osprey]

Hell yeah man, lemme know. Want to let then know if it's just me instead of springing it on them last second. Should be good

[smoky verge]

Roger that, I have no idea how long I'll be down there but I'll let you know at 5:30 if it looks like I'll be leaving soon

[compact lark]

Who’s in Osaka? Heading there now with my two cousins till Tuesday.

[swift jacinth]

There’s a group spreadsheet? Anyone know where to access it, apologies

[grave sequoia]

It's in the channel pins, but you can't see the pins on mobile because Discord app is silly
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q_4Xkw8-a7OHTck88kKrApxGlnAOcF3RQ7fC4CItI2E/edit?usp=sharing

[swift jacinth]

Ah got it, thanks!

[grave sequoia]

Also please remember to get an April role id:customize

[swift jacinth]

[mint perch]

[upbeat saddle]

[upbeat saddle]

Thx for the rec! Would be a great way to kick off my trip

[visual osprey]

Hey man, someone came through in another discord that could 100% make it. Sorry bout that

[grave sequoia]

If you reserve a ticket here you get ¥500 off entry to the show https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdn4mpOJitYvyhpnfN42RBXFDmSINSV0pz4eqh6I-8KhvXPPg/viewform

[smoky verge]

That's all good mate, enjoy ☺️

[iron stag]

[tiny prism]

Anything happening in Tokyo today? Looking for things to do as I completely finished my shopping day way earlier than expected.

[smoky verge]

Here goes nothin lads

[onyx ridge]

Where did you go for shopping, two of us are planning to go to Womb club

[tiny prism]

Ginza

[jaunty blaze]

What's happening in Womb?

[tiny prism]

When are you planning to go to womb?

[iron stag]

What studio did you go to

[smoky verge]

WTS studio in Kanagawa

[vestal vapor]

I’m on the Shibkansen to Osaka right now!

[onyx ridge]

Depends on our leader @wooden garden

[smoky verge]

Did someone say womb?

[mint perch]

[swift jacinth]

We’ve planned events?

Let me in on those

[jaunty blaze]

[grave sequoia]

Sundaaaaay #1173234572431999099 message

[swift jacinth]

I want to go to karaoke without seeming like a total loner 💀

[grave sequoia]

Events are in the spreadsheet too

[swift jacinth]

Ditto let me get on that, just got to my hotel from my shopping trip

[onyx ridge]

If you have energy they are open till 5 in the morning, had a bad experience yesterday tho, and didn't know how tiny the hookah bars are here

[swift jacinth]

I don’t smoke

[onyx ridge]

Check the pinned google sheet for the meet ups

https://maps.app.goo.gl/PAMRgszH2ym235SD8?g_st=ic here

Yeah but how can a 2500 Shisha scale to 6700

[grave sequoia]

Name and shame, maybe they have a menu published

Won't get any answers unless you're a bit more specific

[worn spindle]

did you both get drinks?

could be 2500 shisha + 1500 share + 2x 700 cover + 2x700 drink

that adds to 6800

[onyx ridge]

Here is the pricing link https://www.yuenchishisha.com/en/general-5 and I shared all what I ordered above

[onyx ridge]

Only 1 drink, I guess 10% tax on the entire bill?

[stray dome]

What’s there to get up to in Kyoto after 5pm?

[wooden garden]

Tonight for sure yeah but not early!

[lavish nacelle]

Maybe create a separate osaka thread for those who want to join

[stable hatch]

Guys come out tomorrow 😇

[grave sequoia]

👆 this is without a doubt the best party tomorrow night

[smoky verge]

Is this metal? Looks like it

[grave sequoia]

[iron stag]

Nice what time you so you think you'll head back to osaka

[jaunty blaze]

Church is popping right now

[onyx ridge]

I'm in kabukicho smoking Shisha

[mystic laurel]

is that place any good? always looked kinda gimmicky from the outside

[jaunty blaze]

I like it. Atmosphere is pretty great and the drinks aren't really marked up too much for a theme bar

Plus music too

[vivid urchin]

Anyone in shinjuku?

[jaunty blaze]

Can get some Holy Water too

[onyx ridge]

Yes come

[mystic laurel]

[rain jetty]

Sadge

[peak condor]

[peak condor]

Oh snap. I’ll probably only be out an hour or so, but open to anything in that time. You let me know if it’s worth your while and i’ll come down

[smoky verge]

Well my last train is at 12:40 so I'm down for a beer or two before then

https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/C5X72MzSKEB/

Ain't no party like a QPLO party

[naive sable]

I think there were people planning shisha meetups for April, but maybe later in April.

Hope you found a better shisha place than the one that ripped you off the other night @onyx ridge 🙏

[onyx ridge]

yes, I went to Coco Terrace in Shinjuku, amazing place, for 2 people the cost is 2000 yen including everything, with a very nice host

[naive sable]

That's awesome

[quartz fern]

Hey everybody, if anyone likes live music here’s a channel https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1217967121372545064

[still rover]

One more sleep at home and I'll be in Tokyo!

[iron stag]

Safe flight my dude

[worn spindle]

anyone in kyoto with food plans?

[faint schooner]

Does anybody feel like grabbing lunch today? Been craving yakiniku but it seems more fun with company. Currently in the Shinjuku area but thinking about heading toward Akihabara in a bit

[vagrant sonnet]

In Kyoto but no food plans 😦 I am going to get some drinks/dinner with @iron stag .

[iron stag]

My last night in kyoto so I wanna do it with style 😅

[dense onyx]

I'm in around Ueno area, feel like checking out Ameyoko?

[swift jacinth]

Might be up to join you guys but probably won’t be for a few hours, heading to the gym

lmk if you guys grab dinner in the area

[worn spindle]

lmk wat you got in mind

[faint schooner]

I saw ameyoko the other day but wouldn’t mind hitting it again after akihabara

[lavish nacelle]

Yikes, I had an 8 hour bus drive yesterday

[iron stag]

Izakaya?

[iron stag]

Just wanna meet up somewhere and try and find one?

[lavish nacelle]

Anyone in osaka down for some food tonight? First night in osaka so I have no idea where to go

[remote halo]

My first night too! Ill hit uo this sub later, i may be able to!

Streetfood crawl and then brawl. Lool

[final lotus]

[lavish nacelle]

[smoky verge]

Any Tokyo peeps down for a bit of a bar crawl through Shimokitazawa tonight?

[iron stag]

@worn spindle @vagrant sonnet shall we tag on with these guys

Get something to eat first then hit the bar

[remote halo]

Im down to meet but not to party lawl. 😂

[tiny prism]

I'm down, I'll be headed there tonight at basement bar

[rain jetty]

My wife and I are down to meet/eat tonight

[jaunty blaze]

I'll probably be in Shibuya tonight probably hanging out by the Family Mart or wherever so hmu if you go there after Shinmokitazawa

[naive sable]

I thought it was a running joke, people actually hangout by one of the family marts in Shibuya?

Idk why, that just feels so Jay and Silent Bob to me 😂

[grave sequoia]

Yes it’s where people who don’t know where to go go

I went there when I first arrived in Japan

Fortunately everyone here knows where to go to have a good time so you don’t need to go to Shibuya familymart

[minor bear]

I may be down but may have to join later

[grave sequoia]

This very hidden bar is having a very fun DJ party tonight, I recommend heading there after Basement Bar
https://maps.app.goo.gl/BgTNxR5smAnX6Pe86?g_st=ic

[naive sable]

Ah I see

[grave sequoia]

Also it’s cheaper than any bar

[naive sable]

So the shibuya family Mart is kinda like a tourist hangout for folk new to the cities?

[naive sable]

I hear that

[jaunty blaze]

I think a bit of both lol

I found the Family Mart last week to be a shitshow of just people hanging out in front. Met a bunch of people

[vale siren]

That family mart is a good pregame spot

[jaunty blaze]

Definitely pretty rowdy and hectic and police show up there when it spills out in the street

[smoky verge]

Waaaait is that you? Name begins with C?

[jaunty blaze]

Yeaa lol

[smoky verge]

Ohhh

Hey man

[jaunty blaze]

Hey 👋 haha

[remote halo]

I'm going to this weird drone/noise show tonight in Okayama. Pretty cheap tickets at a venue called pepperland

And I mean noise noise, not like noise rock.

There is one act which I'm going for which looks kind of interesting, atoms lost in space.

Venue is called pepperland. 1400 + 1 drink

Plugman looks pretty interesting as well.

The other stuff is pretty out there.

[mystic laurel]

I'd be down to tag along, would probably have to dip kinda early to make it back if in shinjuku

[coral anchor]

Wanna hit up golden gai?

[rain jetty]

We are stuck in the subway its 40minutes to either shinjuku or shibuya

[molten umbra]

[paper citrus]

Definitely hitting Shinjuku tonight

Getting up early for tsukiji then team lab planets

[late ginkgo]

Anyone do any hiking while in Japan? I'm flying over in a week, was looking to plan my trip around some.

[open frost]

Ill be in JP 17th-28th. Want to do some car stuff.

[still rover]

One more flight to go 💀 11 more hours, here we go

[crisp veldt]

If Chureito Pagoda counts, today I'm going there 😄

[crisp veldt]

Dis you book Daikoku Car meet experience?

[charred mulch]

Hiiii it's 6am and the jetlag is punching me in the face

@still rover said there was an April spreadsheet to check out? I can't see it pinned

[compact wind]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Q_4Xkw8-a7OHTck88kKrApxGlnAOcF3RQ7fC4CItI2E/edit?usp=sharing

[charred mulch]

Thanks and filled in! I'm a fan of a good spreadsheet 😂

[still rover]

Yeah this one is shockingly organized and has been pretty well maintained

[charred mulch]

@quartz fern I'm in Osaka at the same time as you and I also wanted to check out the music scene in jp! will literally go to anything if you want a gig buddy

[still rover]

we're in Kyoto at the same time if our schedules ever line up and you were looking for food

[charred mulch]

Yes I totally will be!

I actually don't know when to get to Kyoto, I was thinking of leaving kanazawa later just to try and get some good seafood for lunch on that day - but feels wrong to limit my already limited time in Kyoto

[still rover]

I wouldn't underestimate how far everything is from eachother in Kyoto

And how much there is to see

[charred mulch]

ok good tip

I've reserved that specific train but will probably move it around

Although I can always go back to kyoto from osaka

[still rover]

Yeah they're pretty close. Most people just travel to Kyoto from there

[rain hazel]

OPENS!! April 17

A week and a day before I arrive

[stray dome]

Anyone in Osaka tonight?

[paper citrus]

Anyone in Tokyo tonight? Definitely feels like a clubbing/shisha kind of night to meeeee

I hit tsukiji market at the crack of dawn now I’m about to go to teamLab planets, probably rest afterwards and go out later

But if anyone wants to day drink I’m not opposed 🤣

[vestal vapor]

I am, and planning to hang out in Dotonbori in the evening.

[stray dome]

Same ! Maybe we can meet up

[modest silo]

In Tokyo but clubbing/bars not my thing. Just exploring different parts of the city.

[rain jetty]

Going to meji and shinjo temple and do some shopping and probably goijg shinjuki later tonight

[still rover]

@vagrant sonnet @mint perch @iron stag @naive sable @autumn sinew kazan. You guys still good to grill meat in a pit on the 16th?

[naive sable]

Yes!!!

I've heard rave reviews about YORONIKU EBISU

So I can't wait

[vestal vapor]

Nice! I think there will be a few people looking for things to do in Osaka tonight.

[naive sable]

@still rover we doing the 14k truffle sukiyaki course?

Cuz I remember you mentioned something about 14k

[still rover]

I think so? Let me confirm. Definitely 14k

[naive sable]

Ok cool. @candid pebble said that was his best meal in Japan I believe

What time is our dinner there again? Was it 7:15? @still rover

[still rover]

Yes sir!

[naive sable]

Thanks

[worn spindle]

[sinful shale]

[celest mortar]

I didnt know jetlag hits so hard 💀

was anything up tonight?

[mystic laurel]

Depends where, might have something tentatively planned for tn in Shibuya

[still rover]

It's gonna hit me like a truck. I just know it

[celest mortar]

I was also thinking either shibuya or shinjuku! let me know later 🙂

[celest mortar]

it will 💀 I was too excited last night and went exploring till 3am right after arriving. feel exhausted today 🥹

[still rover]

I'm debating on if n wanna nap when I land, or just explore a bit and call it early

Because I just know I'm gonna be fucked tomorrow

[mystic laurel]

I'll be in Shibuya, I'll definitely let you know, it will probably be pretty late though

[celest mortar]

I‘d def recommend that! unless youre more physically fit and need less resting time

[still rover]

Hahahaha, no, no I am not 😭

I also scheduled an early day the next day 💀

[celest mortar]

rip

[iron stag]

What time you here Jay

[still rover]

4:30

[iron stag]

I might be out later depending on wether I pass out at my hotel in tokyo when I get there

[still rover]

The passing out for me is seeming more and more likely

[iron stag]

Its took 4 days for the jetlag and fatigue to set in

Don't know how I managed

[sinful shale]

@mystic laurel @celest mortar if you guys are hanging out tonight, mind if I join?

[celest mortar]

the more the merrier 🤭

[sinful shale]

Sicckk! See yall tonight

[celest mortar]

Ill let yall know later again aswell though, the exhaustion might knock me out for another day

[safe jolt]

It's my last weekend in Osaka so I'm up for a night out if anyone's around

[minor bear]

Think Ill be down to do something tn, if I can joinn

[swift jacinth]

Yooo

Mind if I join in?

If I’m not exhausted by the evening

[graceful mural]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/hKCekcGbJVjfDiNS9

About to eat here

If anyone is around

Hiroshima peeps

[graceful mural]

Wow. First omni place I've ever eaten at where the vegan options are cheaper. Interesting

[final lotus]

For all the osaka peeps. @lavish nacelle i know you are coming to doton tonight. Who else is coming to doton for a night of drinking tonight? Please ping me so I can keep in mind who we need to organise with

[vestal vapor]

I’m in!

[safe jolt]

I'm down

[vestal vapor]

I know the time is a bit late to start drinking by Osaka standards, but anyone interested in watching UFC 300 tomorrow with drunk Japanese fight fans at the Coolabah Bar from 12pm? https://maps.app.goo.gl/easnZWpLVisEzLKF9?g_st=ic

[safe jolt]

Tomorrow or like midnight tonight? Would be awesome to watch it!

[vestal vapor]

Tomorrow from noon!

[safe jolt]

Ah man I'm down!

[vestal vapor]

Awesome!

[safe jolt]

Amazing card

[vestal vapor]

Annoying thing is we can only catch the last two hours because they are not opening earlier & there isn’t anywhere in Osaka showing it without a cover charge.

[lavish nacelle]

Uhm

Slight problem
I went to a club last night until 5am, only had 2 hours of sleep and I am at universal studios al day

[final lotus]

XD

Duuude haha

@lavish nacelle you skipping tonight then i take?

[lavish nacelle]

Idk yet xd

[coral anchor]

Sounds like a good night 😆 I did the same

The Japanese lads I were with were keen to go to another club after

They sure know how to party here

[dense onyx]

Monster energy drink has been helping me so much with maintaining enough energy to run around. Coffee here don't seem to have enough caffeine 😦

[shadow vector]

Coffee here is weak

[jaunty blaze]

I've been using green tea these days

I assume healthier but also has caffeine

[steel creek]

@grave sequoia anything good in Tokyo tonight? Got a guy here who’s on his last day and hasn’t seen live music.

Oh, yeah, Sync. Mb

[grave sequoia]

Hmm yeah all the great acts are at Synchronicity today

[steel creek]

It’s a bit late to show up now though I think 🤔

[grave sequoia]

and most Shimokita venues are part of Knockout Fes which is also today

Maybe Koenji is the play

Knockout Fes is going until 9pm so your friend could still catch a lot of it

[final lotus]

@vestal vapor @safe jolt you two are confirmed for drinking night in doton. We wanna meet up in dotonbori round 7?

For all the other people you're welcome just ping me or any of the boys. The more the merrier. It will be a night filled with drinks

[safe jolt]

Works for me! Will aim for 7 let you know when I'm en route

[wicked crow]

Y'all. USJ is fab.

[wicked crow]

Hey I'm at USJ too!

[lavish nacelle]

Yes loving it

[vestal vapor]

[steel creek]

[sinful shale]

No rush at all, just curious. Did you guys still want to meet up tonight? @mystic laurel @celest mortar Anyone else is welcome ofc!

[lavish nacelle]

Are you going to a nightclub?
I doubt I'll survive it but who knows

[final lotus]

@lavish nacelle no clue yet. Nightclub maybe not but dancebar is a possibility

Might have a backpack with me and nightclub with a backpack sucks haha

[mystic laurel]

I don't have definite plans until after I leave this music fest, but I likely will still be available

[lucid lily]

I’m down to go out. My last night in Japan 😥

[lavish nacelle]

Clubs usually have lockers

[still rover]

Might skip today but I'll let you know when I get to my hotel

[vestal vapor]

I may only join you for drinks though. Had the biggest tonkatsu I’ve ever eaten in my life so won’t be able to do food.

[final lotus]

Oh they do lol? XD I mean if they have a locker I can drop off my passport and important stuff

Then it's a option

[still rover]

[final lotus]

[brisk lagoon]

Spoken like a true youngster. At 25 the knees start creaking and you start preparing for your third mid-life crisis 😤

[lavish nacelle]

Youngster

[ruby prawn]

Wait, you mean that 25 is another bad milestone? 24 here and I feel tired beyond 10pm, my feet hurt after 10k steps a day, and now you are saying that in a couple of months my knees are coming to bite me as well?

[sinful shale]

Any plans to meet up in Shibuya still? No rush just curious
