Gotcha gotcha

[atomic tendon]

Yeah also curious

Maybe they got the new 9060

[still rover]

Looks like I have it here for 5pm. Do we need to change it?

[errant topaz]

Back in bed charging the phone and back from walking. Anyone around Shinjuku/Gai in an hour plus looking to keep drinking?

[wicked dew]

Sorry guys but that drunkie was too much for me lol

[hidden fable]

He was terrible

@graceful mural let us know when you get back to the hotel

[tidal pewter]

Lol u run into a wasted salaryman or what

[hidden fable]

A wasted Washingtonian

[tidal pewter]

Christ

Sounds annoying

[graceful mural]

Oh thanks for looking out for me. Yeah I'm back now

He was waaaaaaaay wasted

He was starting to sober up on the way back home. He was alright at that point

[hidden fable]

Cool, thanks for letting us know, I left a bit worried lol

[graceful mural]

Feels like there is a moderately interesting guy under that drunk redneck

Hes surprisingly nerdy. Uses Linux and everything

Hope he gets home safe

But he was wayyyy too much

[mint perch]

I've been hunting for the 9060s everywhere, it's sold out pretty much in every store

there was one that had em in Osaka but not in the color I wanted

[pallid garden]

I am really starting to feel the excitment

I was just nervous for a bit but now I am pumped

[tidal pewter]

I’m just nervous my plane might go kaboom

[rustic nacelle]

If you find a good one, let me know. Slowly headed in osaka's direction next week or 2

[faint schooner]

Not a hotel but I enjoyed staying at Chuan House Dotonbori. Easy check in, super clean with a washer and balcony, within walking distance of many stations/attractions.

Bathrooms have the room drying fans so your wash gets dried faster than on a clothesline.

[late ginkgo]

Hi. I'm staying at Namba kuromon tonight. Landing at 12 PM. Does anyone want to meet up? Down for lunch or dinner.

[still rover]

Just got into Kyoto

[worldly moth]

Anyone else going to urban chaos (zulu, melt banana, etc) tomorrow at harlem?

[grave sequoia]

[naive sable]

Melt Banana is playing tomorrow?

Damn

[atomic tendon]

[faint schooner]

[kindred wedge]

[still rover]

I might be able to push it back an hour if you need me to

[faint schooner]

I don’t think you need to but I appreciate the offer 🙂

[still rover]

Sounds good! Where's about in Kyoto are you staying?

[jaunty blaze]

[faint schooner]

Im right in between kiyomizu-gojo and shichijo stations, but on the West Bank of the Kamo @still rover

[grave sequoia]

You ain't trippin

[kindred wedge]

Yuh I'm being one of those awful tourists and doing the karts at 6pm so need to be back for like 5 ish anyway

[wicked crow]

[grave sequoia]

The time is at the top

Ok not how but still

Ah thank you

O.o

[past needle]

Anyone doing anything in Tokyo today?

[cinder oracle]

Anyone going to this tonight? https://club-mogra.jp/2024/04/19/5278/

[swift jacinth]

Did you get a Shinkansen ticket ahead of time or buy one day of

[terse comet]

Im planning on Nara tomorrow too!

[mint perch]

don't have much planned for today in Tokyo, anyone doing anything?

[tidal adder]

Im up for dinner

[swift jacinth]

I’m checking out of my current hotel in an hour and then chilling around Aki until my next hotel check in

up for dinner or for arcades if anyone wants to waste all their yen with me

[worn spindle]

i can do dinner if its after my concert

[still rover]

You guys should come all the way to Kyoto 👉👈

[swift jacinth]

you should take the Shinkansen back

[still rover]

I'm tempted. I'm not gonna lie

When's the last train back to Kyoto?

9:30pm 😭

[past needle]

Maid cafe?

[mint perch]

I'm unironically down

[swift jacinth]

I’m probably down

hotels are so convenient for sending luggage

😭

I just had to slap down my yen and suddenly all my problems go away

Also I didn’t know but my hotel also did bike rentals

I could’ve been riding around in convenience this entire time

I paid 6k yen the other day and won nothing

so I think you’re on top

[late ginkgo]

@graceful mural ive been told you're around Namba. Looking to meet up with 2 others today. I just landed in Osaka, would love some guidance and company.

[swift jacinth]

bro

I was trying to get the Piplup

It wouldn’t budge

Those claws weaken so much

I got this random thing instead

Idek what it is

[past needle]

Maid cafe and dinner?

[mint perch]

sure

what time

[past needle]

I’m free after getting lunch so balls in your court

@swift jacinth you coming?

[mint perch]

aight let me figure out what I'm getting for lunch first lol

[swift jacinth]

I’m heading to shibuya/Harajuku for lunch

But I’d be down to hit a maid cafe after since I’d need to grab my luggage from aki in a couple hours anyways

[swift jacinth]

you down for katsu?

[still rover]

@swift jacinth did you send it to Osaka?

[swift jacinth]

yeah

[mint perch]

is it like good katsu 👉👈

[swift jacinth]

I told my hotel I’m staying 1 night in a capsule in Tokyo and had my Osaka check in on the 20th

[mint perch]

coz low-key I'm hitting narikura tomorrow

[swift jacinth]

They became the avengers

One person was on the phone communicating with the hotel

The other person was measuring the luggage

The last person was filling out the form

[mint perch]

actually w.e yeah I'm down for katsu

[swift jacinth]

it’s really good katsu

[past needle]

I’m going to shibuya to pick up some shoes or sandals

[mint perch]

sure let's do it

[past needle]

Then food

[swift jacinth]

I got recommended it by a Japanese waiter at my hotel

dude did not disappoint

It’s called Tarekatsu in shibuya

Sometimes there’s a big line of locals waiting to enter

but depending on the time it’s not that bad

I’m almost down there but if anyone is up to join me I’ll walk around and shop while I wait

[mint perch]

I'll head over, im a bit far from Shibuya though so it'll take like 45 mins

[swift jacinth]

kk I’ll hang around Shibuya 109 and eat snacks

[atomic tendon]

I bought the Japan rail pass

[swift jacinth]

Where’s the Shinkansen located again

[atomic tendon]

I would like to join you guys, when and where are you guys meeting?

[atomic tendon]

I went to shinigawa station

[swift jacinth]

word

[mint perch]

this spot right? https://maps.app.goo.gl/tLd914UtuhirvYzm7

[swift jacinth]

Yessir

what’s your ETA?

I might join these Ojiisans and try out pachinko

[still rover]

Idk if you mentioned it in one of these messages, but how much did it cost you?

[swift jacinth]

Uhhh

For a checked bag

[mint perch]

50 mins id say

[swift jacinth]

It was 6000-8000 yen? Something like that

[still rover]

Hmmmmmmm

[swift jacinth]

didn’t really mind it since I really didn’t want to lug that thing around all day

[still rover]

That's fair

Kyoto seems rough for that, I bet Osaka will be just as bad

[mint perch]

I sent from Hiroshima to Osaka and it cost me about 1700 yen

was a carry-on size luggage though

[swift jacinth]

wait nvm

I completely messed up

it was a lot cheaper

8800 was my full bill for the hotel stuff 💀

Sending a checked bag to Osaka cost 2530 yen

[atomic tendon]

I'll be around 2:30 checked in at my hotel in Kyoto, I'll head right after to kiyomizu Dera, feel free to tag along

[jaunty blaze]

I'll probably be in shibuya tonight

Man I'm at a McDonald's first time during lunch and it's insane here

All salary men

[past needle]

I’m near the katsu place

[swift jacinth]

I’m at a pachinko rn

[graceful mural]

Just woke up. I need to do some shopping near the park first. After that I might be down to hang out(unless you are interested in knives). Probably hit up the parks and some den den town after.

Gonna grab food in like, 30-40 minutes at this cute vegan place near by

Went yesterday, want to try more of their options.

[past needle]

I’m close

[graceful mural]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/n6XyPPLr6nJS7ca36

[late ginkgo]

I'm at the airport right now. If you wait for me. Though I just checked it's almost an hour probably not a good idea.

[compact wind]

Did you guys decide on dinner in Tokyo? 🤔 sorry was a lot of messages to go through

[mint perch]

@swift jacinth @past needle in Shibuya now, heading to the resto

[past needle]

We’re in shibuya 109 be up in a bit

[digital wharf]

Anybody around Harajuku

[mint perch]

waiting in front, look for a dude in glasses with a navy jacket

[graceful mural]

Maybe dinner late then if the timing works out. I might also den den town before buying that knife and eating. The knife is for a friend, and I don't think it will take to long to get

[sinful shale]

anyone in Kyoto wanna grab lunch?

[faint schooner]

It’s tebori time

[graceful mural]

Me and Danny will definitely be in the area. Might now wait to eat, but maybe we do something after?

[rain jetty]

Sunset time for harukas300 observation deck in Osaka if anyone is interested

[digital wharf]

Gonna be in the Shibuya\Shinjuku area pretty much the whole day. I’m down for something.

[late ginkgo]

Sounds good. @wicked dew fyi

[graceful mural]

Oh typo for clarification. Meant might NOT wait to eat, but grab dinner later

But we could wait as well if you are able to be before 4PM

I have shopping like I said

@versed hinge

[nimble basin]

Not about for lunch but may be around in Kyoto this evening!

[still rover]

THIS MAKES A LOT MORE SENSE

[late ginkgo]

I'll be at Namba at 3. But let's meet for dinner instead. What time is dinner for you folks?

[graceful mural]

Anytime. I plan to head toward Umeda later. So maybe like 5-7

I'm flexible

[late ginkgo]

Let me create a group dm. I think I am speaking to @hidden fable and @wicked dew via dm. And now there's you and Danny as well. There really should be a room for cities.

[graceful mural]

Yeah that works for me

[still rover]

Anyone know if animate in Tokyo had Naruto stuff?

[kindred wedge]

That's gonna be worth every penny, just done it on hardcore manual controls with no aim assist permadeath mode and would have paid triple that to not have shoulders about to fall off

Osaka stations are fun where they have sections where the stairs go down just to go back up to make people with luggage suffer. Absolutely no need for it, goes to the same ground level

[eager fern]

goto Nakano Broadway

[hasty plover]

Hey everyone, I'm travelling by myself in Tokyo Monday - Friday, down for meeting anyone! I also have line but can't seem to join the group chat

[grave sequoia]

If you haven't done LINE age verification you can't use the link to join the chat - you need to friend someone who is in there and have them add you

[hasty plover]

Ah thanks for that! Well if someone is in there please DM me. Sorry I literally just joined it aha

[terse comet]

I’m in Kyoto if you guys have any evening plans

[iron stag]

Second this me and complex hit nakano today, not as broad selection as akihabara but very good price wise

[late ginkgo]

Meeting Akane and Danny tonight in Osaka 7pm https://maps.app.goo.gl/v9HLhgt2gFXJ4MHbA. Anyone else?

[rain jetty]

Time for Hiroshima

[proud sequoia]

Anyone in Kyoto for dinner / drinks later?

[sinful shale]

i’d be down for dinner in Kyoto. Not sure ab drinks after, depends how i’m feeling

[proud sequoia]

That's good 👍, coming back from nara and after checking in the hotel I'll be operative. I'd say 8/8.30 pm at max.

[proud sequoia]

Will you be up for dinner / drinks tonight?

[nimble basin]

Could potentially join the two of you, give me a ping when you've checked in and worked out what you're doing!

[sinful shale]

[proud sequoia]

Well let's hear the other guys, I'm ok with it but I'll join if everyone agrees

For the Kyoto folks: visit Nanzen-ji temple and follow the vibrations 😉

[coarse oasis]

hey guys

anyone up to go to this game?

[swift jacinth]

Hello

[errant topaz]

Bonjour

[jolly maple]

Thanks for hanging out everyone, it was a blast! 🥹

[knotty steeple]

yeah nice meeting everyone, hope everyone gets back alright and doesn’t miss their last train 😅

[azure stirrup]

Nice to meet you all 😁

[jolly maple]

I'm still out and about in Tokyo if anyone wants to do nightlife things! 🎉

[brisk lagoon]

I need to shill something for a second: I visited Macana in Sendai, and they had this anime DJ/VJing event tonight that apparently happens monthly, and I had the time of my life. Watching (and participating in) dancing drunk Japanese salary men breaking it down to remixes of their favourite anime OPs is something that I recommend everyone experience at least once in their life!

[worn spindle]

if you like anisongs, check out mogra if you're headed back to tokyo

[jaunty blaze]

I went to shibuya lmao

And yeah nice meeting everyone earlier 🙌

[knotty steeple]

if anyone wants to do anything in Tokyo from now until May 1st I’m pretty flexible, the only thing i have booked is the Ghibli museum on the 25th

Not the most Japanese thing to do but i do wanna go to Disney land and sea at some point as i’ve never been to Disney before 😅, but I’m up for pretty much anything

[remote halo]

I'll be at Disney Sea Tuesyayyyyyy!!! Lets gooo

[manic egret]

nice! I did it yesterday. Didn't get on everything, but it was amazing

just had an onsen in my b&b in izu 🛀

[remote halo]

I just want to ride the Journey ride ans probably just roam arpund for snakz

[manic egret]

the music in the night show is pretty awesome

as is tower of terror, always

[remote halo]

I went to a ryokan in Shiga and it was amazing. Full kaiseki dinner and breakfast and I was rhe only foreigner there. No tattoos allowed though.

[manic egret]

I did this last year in Hakone - forgot to tell them my wife didn't eat fish ahead of the first night...

I ate a lot of fish and rolled into my futon

[knotty steeple]

ooo okay i’ll look to try and book for disney sea then if that’s alright?

[rustic nacelle]

How much do ryokans cost? Havnt stayed at one yet

[manic egret]

fairly pricy for full board

private onsen could be USD 300 per night +

[remote halo]

Mine was fairly priced. But then again it was in the middle of the week.

I paid less than 200$ and 3 open air baths overlooking Lake Biwa

[manic egret]

thats a great deal!

[jaunty blaze]

Anyone at shibuya lol

Thinking of staying or just going home

[remote halo]

Go home youre drunk lol

[jaunty blaze]

Hahaha not at all

[rustic nacelle]

Im headed from kusatsu springs with the goal of spending time in kyoto ->osaka-> tottori.

Might head through kanazawa and check that out on my way down 🙂

[jaunty blaze]

Pretty damn tired though

Went to kamakura today lol

[rustic nacelle]

But thats thebest time tobe drunk in shibuya!

[remote halo]

I will wait for his wailing at 3am alongside salarymen. Lol

[jaunty blaze]

Lmao. Ok ill just go home via Luup

[verbal storm]

Wanna join us for zero Tokyo?

[jaunty blaze]

I think I already missed out on shibuya lol

[verbal storm]

In shinjuku - hoping the line died down. There must be some big names

[jaunty blaze]

Is it worth the 5k? Haven't been to that club before

I could detour going home lmao

[verbal storm]

Oh 100% so worth

I’ll share some vids from last month

[errant topaz]

Shinjuku anyone?

[manic egret]

lol we were probably both there at the same time

i went to shandore coffee and walked up and down the main street

visited a couple of temples too

[jaunty blaze]

Ooh that does look fun hmmm

I'll seee how I feel after I take this scooter

[jaunty blaze]

Haha I want early afternoon but only got to see one temple and the buddah statue

Took a lot longer than I thought eating everything that looked good lol

[verbal storm]

Tomorrow they have South American style going on from 2200 🙂 we’re on the fence about today due to the lines. (Going to check the lines)

[jolly maple]

I met some ppl on the train back to shibuya that are going to R-lounge so I might check that out since it's just a 15 min walk from my hotel

[verbal storm]

Sounds good! Have fun

[jaunty blaze]

Well, that was a fun scooter ride. I should use that more

[manic egret]

i missed the buddha by 30 minutes! Saw it over the fence though lol

I was there from about 2pm

[jaunty blaze]

Oh really yeah similar to me then lol

[still rover]

@autumn sinew @nimble basin @faint schooner I'm assuming you guys are still good for today at 5?

[quartz fern]

Hip-hop show mixed in

[naive sable]

I don't think I'm going, but this good techno dj Richie Hawtin is playing at Womb tonight

[ruby pier]

Hey peeps, I'll be in Japan from April 26th-May 17th, Will be in Tokyo then Osaka/Kyoto from the 27th-9th May, then Sapporo from the 9th to 14th May. Would be super keen to meet people and see sights from any of those places.

I'm a 32M nerdy gamer New Zealander, Open to going to a nice Bar...maybe a club so long as I don't feel too old (haha) and maybe a gym or two...would really love to see Japanese Gyms.

Otherwise would be super keen just to relax and meet/make some new friends...and see if maybe in a year I'll become a resident if all goes really well.

[dry steppe]

Another show tonight!

Me and Danny's last day in Osaka. Did you update the spreadsheet? Akane is leaving soon.

[graceful mural]

I have to get up and ready.

[tall raptor]

pretty much nothing major has changed in my plans

[graceful mural]

Not really any food for me in kuromon, but if you want to grab something and walk around that's cool.

I do need to knife shop for a bit though

So might be better to link up at like noon. I have no obligations after that

Grabbing a souvenir for a friend

[swift jacinth]

heading out of Tokyo today

my Osaka friends where are you at

[tall raptor]

I can’t intervene anymore with the rain

So you’re just gonna have to deal with it the normal way

[late ginkgo]

I'm going hiking in the mountains. Hehe. Any stores for rain proof jacket? I didn't bring one.

[swift jacinth]

Which prefecture are you in

[tall raptor]

which mountains?

[late ginkgo]

I'm in Osaka. Last day here before I head west.

[late ginkgo]

Mt Misen. Looking at Ryokans atm.

[brisk lagoon]

Make sure to look up the timetable for the ropeway at Mt Misen, in case you find yourself at the top, hoping to avoid doing the whole track down again, only to realize that you missed the last ropeway down

[kindred wedge]

Popping to Nara and then will be back in Osaka later on this afternoon

[swift jacinth]

mmm

no idea in Osaka

[swift jacinth]

I’ll probably go to Nara in 2 days

Checking in to my hotel today and then I’ve got dinner plans tomorrow with @still rover

Want to catch dinner @kindred wedge

[kindred wedge]

Sure thing

[graceful mural]

@late ginkgo heading to Namba station area now for knives lunch around noon is still looking possible. Maybe a bit after if I'm slow

[past needle]

Hey silver do you have recovery shoes or just normal hokas?

[swift jacinth]

I've got uh

running hokas

Clifton 9's

I like them

I think they were $145?

I've also got a pair of waterproof vessi's that I bought for the rainy weather

the padding on those ones go crazy, I get like 2-3 inches of height from them

[past needle]

Ok gotcha

[terse comet]

How long are you there?

I’m probably gonna get there in like 15 mins, got up late

[atomic tendon]

I'm at kagusa taisha now

Finished with the main sanctuary, will maybe go to the museum or leave right to Kyoto

[terse comet]

Ahh I might be around till golden hour

[swift jacinth]

[trail trout]

[sinful shale]

[grave sequoia]

just music

[kindred wedge]

Hmm, if so you were wrong

[trail trout]

about what?

[graceful mural]

Me and ka about to head near Osaka castle. Probably won't go in

After, I'm gonna drop by den den town to shop

[kindred wedge]

Its uh, v mediocre

I'm not sure it was you tho

[graceful mural]

Has anyone ever said mos burger is good?

Their plant based burger is the definition of mid

[sinful shale]

i’m actually at Kyoto station, trying to go to Osaka. Might join if that’s alright?

Not Osaka castle specifically, just in general

[trail trout]

I mean... it's fast food. Not sure what you were expecting but I had that Tobikiri burger and it's way better than the shit here in the States.

[swift jacinth]

yooo

down to join if you’ve got room

[sinful shale]

Where should I get off at? Osaka or Shin-Osaka?

[proud sequoia]

Anyone up for the fushimi Inari visit during the night? Ideally after dinner. @nimble basin wanna join?

[kindred wedge]

Someone here the other day said no mos burger slander allowed but it's justified imo

But heading back to Osaka now so down to join in about 40 mins

[sinful shale]

just made it to Osaka station

[graceful mural]

We're like 20 minutes minutes from Osaka castle

We can roam for a bit. Probably won't be doing too much after in the north.

I will be doing den den town after.

Weeb shopping

Meet us at the castle

[sinful shale]

bet will do

[nimble basin]

I only got about 3 hours sleep so I think I will have to pass and get an early night, sorry man

[kindred wedge]

I'm in the garden but at the bottom of the castle making my way slowly towards and @swift jacinth will be joining in like 30ish

[nimble basin]

Have you moved or am I in the wrong family mart? 😅

[still rover]

I moved to the grocery store next door

Look for the limping dude with the messenger bag and KitKats

[paper citrus]

Anyone in Kyoto today? I’m going to hit a few shrines and temples and whatnot this afternoon and go to some cocktail lounges this evening (if anyone wants to join that part)

[nimble basin]

Oh nice, will just be a couple mins finishing up a drink

[faint schooner]

Please don’t wait up or change plans for me. It looks like the spot is another 35 minute train ride from my Airbnb 😓

[still rover]

You sure you don't want me to give it a try?

[azure stirrup]

Hmm well I can make my way

It says an hour from my current location

Lol

[zenith pine]

[zenith pine]

Can I join in? The Shinjuku izakaya

i.e. the more it devolves to torikizoku

[jaunty blaze]

I'm down for toriki lmao

[nocturne python]

Haha I don’t mind torikizoku

[jaunty blaze]

I'll stop by shinjuku then and decide what to do then

[jaunty blaze]

[nocturne python]

Omw

[terse comet]

How is it?

[atomic tendon]

It's fucking confusion

There are apparently two tops of the mountain

they look identical and you walk in a damn circle

[paper citrus]

I was just there lmao I probably walked past you

[past needle]

Same thing happened to me when I was there LOL

[paper citrus]

It’s pretty as hell, I’ve heard it gets packed but right now in the evening it’s fairly sparse

[terse comet]

Hmmm considering whether to go after dinner

[paper citrus]

I just got on the train leaving there, it’s dark in some spots but the trail itself is well lit

[terse comet]

Just getting some food in West Kyoto, just got back from Nara then I’ll be around

It’s my last day in Kyoto so will see how I feel after food

[paper citrus]

I’m headed back to shower and then find some snacks and cocktails

[jaunty blaze]

Omw too

[atomic tendon]

So apparently I did an extra round

there's just one top

[zenith pine]

Maybe around 20min there

[atomic tendon]

Better go now

You can't see any other temple and it's empty

capsule hotel itself

noice

Had a lounge, fluent English receptionist

a nice capsule to myself

luggage container

but there was some salaryman snoring so loudly it was vibrating my capsule

so even with noise cancelling headphones

it was too much

[bleak dawn]

Was tempted to

[bleak dawn]

what

[tidal pewter]

How much was it?

Might crash in shibuya capsule if I don’t wanna walk back to shinjuku

[bleak dawn]

Wellp that was a surprisingly nice night out tho

Maybe ill just stay out till the morning tomorrow haha, kinda sucks to do that on my own tho but we'll see

[tidal pewter]

Who wants to end their night at 12! That’s ridiculous

[bleak dawn]

Ikr, so lame

Cut me some slack though I'm still learning

[swift jacinth]

uh

this one was like $50, which I mean is pretty reasonable given the size of the capsule I got and the amenities

I just got clapped by the rando who kept me up

I’ve been spoiled too much by upscale hotels 💀

[bleak dawn]

And as i thought, I've still no clue who's who and what everyone's names were🫠

I apologise
