[sudden glen]

Was wondering if any of yall wouldn't mind having a tag-along for a day? I know its very late, but i got hit by the loneliness bug but i was hoping to be adopted by a group just for tomorrow (may 6th), or if anyone else is planning a meet up or anything like that. Just turned 21 last friday so i think im up for anything as long as its not extremely strenuous like hiking up mt fuji or something.

[mild plume]

[burnt panther]

You just made me sad

[cyan gyro]

Alas if it was a few days later would be happy to oblige

Can we give credit to @lean ingot

He went to a sushi bar with me and we got the omakase

And he ate everything

Even though he hated 3/4 of it

Bro sat there with a big grin

Don’t worry I got otoro for us

[lean ingot]

Hated is strong, only one I didn't like was roe.

[valid hazel]

Salmon roe is one of the good ones

It was the scallopfish? Maybe ? That I didn’t rlly like

The rlly chewy one

@lean ingot “I won’t make it to 4pm”
Give him some beers and some chips and it’s now 6pm he’s ready to go out again

[valid hazel]

Sorry “potatoooooo foraiiiii”

[half pollen]

Ah man, so close and yet so far - only 5 days until I land (though I'll be getting into Narita at like 7pm so it will be straight to the hotel and sleep I guess)

Have a look through here

Lots of events on. You need to make an account on the website

Let me know if you need help with navigating it

[vernal birch]

So i have now beek awake for over 24 hours and really tired, buts its not even 4pm yet. Should i just sleep early today for more energy tomorrow

Not sure how i feel tomorrow if ik gonna stay up late

[fervent wolf]

[vernal birch]

Yeah that def not, am trying to aim for 8pm at least

[fervent wolf]

goto shibuya Taito Station. get 4000 yen worth of medals and go have fun. Will easily last you till 7 ish

[shy nacelle]

Hey all! Anyone in Tokyo feel like hitting up karaoke or an arcade today? Somehow found myself without an itinerary for the next few days 😅

[vernal birch]

That does look fun

But i first need to buy an umbrella and food

[fervent wolf]

im going to spend the whole afternoon tomorrow in the arcade @shy nacelle Medal games arent for everyone and most people I have shown are like why the hell do you find this fun.

but when the whole machine opens up and you get 1000s of medals. it hit the spot juuust right

[shy nacelle]

Honestly I spend all my arcade time on the rhythm game floor but I'm open to being convinced 🙃

[solid oak]

I got a couple jackpots at the medal machine a week or two ago

and the. I realized you can’t redeem those medals for prizes

so I got sad and gave someone all my medals and went home

[fervent wolf]

yeah its just to play more. Its a poor mans pachinko haha. Anyhow all the prizes at the arcades really are nothign special anyways

[scenic snow]

I could be tempted to do Karaoke or drink tonight. Anybody else in?

[heady lark]

depending on time and place, keep me updated if you guys go out

[shy nacelle]

Ok sounds good

Alternatively, I just saw that there's a music event tn mentioned further up? Not sure if it's my scene per se but I'm open to maybe checking it out if anyone wants

[bold moss]

There’s gonna be loads of people here

[shy nacelle]

Hmm I'm leaning towards it... Less planning (tbh I'm bad at planning) and likely to help stave off jet lag

But @scenic snow @heady lark not sure, did you still wanna do karaoke tn or save it for another time?

[scenic snow]

I don't mind checking out the music gig. We can always kick on from there.

[crimson ridge]

Hello

I’m in Tokyo

[jovial steeple]

In shinjuku right now, will eat something then come check out the music event

[austere jackal]

Disregard. Not even sure how that was sent lol

Yeah I'll probably be at the gig

[heady lark]

plans fell through, im down to karoake if youre both on @scenic snow @shy nacelle

im not super into music but im not opposed to stopping by either

if anyone wants to get some dinner and wander around or do something id love to join

[cyan gyro]

Finally, airport in the morning

[bold moss]

Yeah it ends at 9:30 so you can go for afters when it’s done

The venue will be open for bar time for a little while too

[fervent wolf]

[woven lily]

Shibuya

[fervent wolf]

Yes Shibuya

[burnt panther]

For yall other first timers, how are you feeling when walking off the plane? We land Saturday and can't help thinking I'm gonna feel like a kid on Christmas lol

[fervent wolf]

Wait until you get to whereever your staying and walk around in the evenings. People never sleep here

[fervent wolf]

Where are you staying?

[restive pewter]

"Wait where are the subtitles?"

[woven lily]

Sorry service is cocked n shitterer in the bar

[cyan gyro]

My 7th time tomorrow and tbh the feeling doesnt really go away, it goes from excitement to be there for the first time to happiness youre back!

[woven lily]

Didn’t feel a thing. I didn’t feel it until I was in Shibuya

[cyan gyro]

6 hours till I gotta leave for the airport I needa sleep haha

[prime bolt]

I don’t leave until next Thursday, but I packed about 95% of my clothes yesterday. The anxiety is starting to build haha.

[woven lily]

Race you there

[prime bolt]

[bold moss]

Thank you all for coming 🥹

[solid oak]

Looked like fun! I didn’t know foot loose was also in the discord

this guy went hard on the dance floor

[mint haven]

I board my flight in 3 days. Starting to feel super hyped

[stuck gale]

@solid oak are you still flying out of Narita today? Still interested in getting lunch together there? I’ll be arriving there around 11:15am (via bus)

(DM me if U want to try to meet up. I’ll probably be at the airport for a while… probably looking to get lunch around 1pm or so… but I’m flexible)

[solid oak]

I am no longer flyin out of Narita

My airline called me a week ago and told me that flight was canceled

So I’m flying out of Haneda in a few hours

[vague cloud]

Press the emergency button at the next station and book it to the Shinkansen headed back to Osaka, ez gg

[neat sinew]

I did

Shook his hand and everything.

[stuck gale]

Well, I guess we’ll never meet after all then. 😢

[solid oak]

sad

[stuck gale]

Well, if anyone wants to meet up, I think I’ll be hanging around Narita Airport for a while (since the check-in for my hotel isn’t til 5pm - just ping me 🙂)

[lime loom]

7 more days! I’m equally excited and nervous hah

[undone oasis]

3 more days for me

[heady lark]

anyone in osaka? should be at my hotel in an hour or 2 and nothing to do today, if anyone around im down to get some food or explore

[indigo crescent]

4 more for me

[half pollen]

3 days for me (until I land, the journey to the airport starts tomorrow night).
I'm hitting a point where the stress outweighs the excitement. I do not remember being this stressed last time, think it's just cos I have a dog now and this will be the first time leaving her for any longer than 4 days.

[valid hazel]

We’re pushing through heavy ass rain

The staff member lent us umbrellas and walked us to nami 😜

They saw a gaijin and reached for the nami figure

🤣

Getting a 日本語上手 is easier than cooking toast in Kyushu btw

[valid hazel]

Bad name for a petting zoo

[granite helm]

Jealous im missing out on one piece statues. I'm gonna be checking out a few by bus over next 3 days

[vivid kestrel]

Even worse name for a clothing shop (in turkey but I still laugh at the name every time)

[cold pawn]

Anyone around Shinjuku wanna grab drinks tonight?

[solid oak]

Go to the Shibuya One piece store

They’ve got 3

I might’ve hit the gaijin smash on this one and I apologize 🙇🏻‍♂️

In exchange I purchased very many products from this store

Supporting the Japanese economy

[round jacinth]

Imagine if that was bread

[glass mountain]

I wanted the big one so I could show off holding it on the train and everywhere

[stuck gale]

You guys have seen that clothing store off Harajuku called “Rip ‘n Dip”, right?

Not really bad as much as strange

[bold moss]

You can take pictures. Just no vlogging

[amber depot]

Hi everyone 👋, a friend of who I met in Tokyo invited me in that Chanel. I'm now in Osaka. Are some people down to grab some fugu fish in Dotonbori tomorrow?

[neon smelt]

Yeah, first week sucked but as long as you know someone is taking care of doggo then rest easy.
Same for me with cats 😦

[vivid kestrel]

That’s a U.S. skate brand

I wouldn’t give them my money https://www.tumblr.com/thejordanator/97086371247/ryan-oconnor-of-ripndip-clothing-beat-the-shit

Enjoy yourself and make sure you’re having fun on the trip

[solid oak]

Also make sure to check if that protection actually fits

No plans as of now

Just running errands in Ikebukuro atm

[fading forum]

Girls bars are way cheaper and not every man wants physical attention. Some men just want a pretty girl to give them attention.

[jovial steeple]

Don't know about karaoke but I might be up for some drinks

[shy nacelle]

Yes

[scenic snow]

There will be drinks at Karaoke 😉

Otherwise, we can start off with drinks and theb kick on to Karaoke

[fading forum]

In Tokyo?

[stuck gale]

Let’s split the difference… Shinjuku! @shy nacelle

[fading forum]

When you say solo izakaya do you mean you want a quiet izakaya?

[verbal spear]

I was under the impression that they were meant for groups but I guess I was wrong

[ivory parcel]

@stuck gale I can't sing but I'll try

[scenic snow]

Okay. 7.30pm at Shinjuku!

[quiet tapir]

This Gyoza Fest in Osaka is lit

[stuck gale]

@jovial steeple @scenic snow @ivory parcel @round jacinth @shy nacelle (Did I leave anybody out???)
I seems like we're going to have at least 5 people...
I'm looking for Karaoke places now...
I think I'll call ahead and make a reservation.

@bold moss do you want to join?... or R U going to that event you posted about tonight?

So @jovial steeple @scenic snow @ivory parcel @round jacinth @shy nacelle ...
I'm thinking this spot:

https://maps.app.goo.gl/DhLxzPPLHE5PLJrf7

They also have like a 1 or 2 hour 飲み放題 (nomidodai) option that you can check out here:

https://shop.joysound.com/welcome-karaoke/

I was gonna suggest this place:
https://maps.app.goo.gl/A2hbUxjL8fpVFoQ56

But it's a little pricey

￥3,500 per person...
But if ya'll wanna go fancy...

LMK

Otherwise I will try to make the reservation at JOYSOUND for us in a little while

[ivory parcel]

@stuck gale I trust your best judgement

[stuck gale]

All that said, I might HU Shinjuku around 6:30pm to get dinner first

[heavy verge]

When does it end? Getting there on Saturday

[shy nacelle]

Ty I'm ok with joy sound!

[heady lark]

Yeah im going on the 12th

Was originally gonna do magome to tsumago but been thinking of doing the other way around since apparently its downhill/easier xD

oo, first time hearing about narai, looks cool

Wait are u hiking from tsumago to narai?

Ah, yeah i googled tsumago to narai and it was like 12 hours hike lol

Tbh i dont mind doing either direction if the 12th works for u, could definitely use a hiking buddy/company

Though i am probably not the fittest/fastest hiker so it’ll probably be a slow/chill hike walk session xD

Question for the people in Japan right now (not sure which channel to ask this in): Have you come across many bars/izakayas with their own matchbooks?

[woven lily]

Matchbooks ?

Like matches?

[prime bolt]

Yup, but branded. I have a couple from past trips, wanted to add to my collection.

Hey guys! Anyone in Tokyo today wanting to go to team lab borderless? I've got a spare ticket for the 11-11:30 slot. Bought all these tickets in advance and my travel partner had to cancel last minute 😦 I'll be going and could meet you there around 10:45. Ticket cost is 4400 JPY. Could give it to you for 3500 🙂

Also wow I'm doing Nakasendo on 13-14 May but from the other direction, starting from Narai ! Hope you enjoy it

[mild plume]

I have a day in Kumamoto with nothing planned, and I gots a car. You recommend solo running one piece statues? I love me some OP but I also assume I could do some decent stuff in Kumamoto itself or see Aso

[fervent wolf]

I have no plans tonight. I'll join

[hearty abyss]

Aye let’s go

[fervent wolf]

All you can eat bbq?

I'll make a group chat

[hearty abyss]

[round jacinth]

Tokyo Skydow

[fervent wolf]

Jump for a better view 😁

[arctic inlet]

I believe Mt. Aso caldera is good to visit again, so that's an option
You sort of swing by some of the statues up around Aso on the way to the caldera

https://www.aso-volcano.jp/eng/

[valid hazel]

We hit the statues but it was fun going together and blasting some one piece music - don’t know much about Kumamoto city bc I was staying in a really rural home stay 15 minutes out of kikuchi

In other news just got to my hotel and have an hour till I can check in who’s in asakusa/ueno

[austere condor]

I just landed in japan

[granite helm]

Beauty day for this in Takachiho

[shy grail]

Dang, that's a killer shot

[valid hazel]

Fuji on the way back from Kumamoto but also

Don’t see this every day I’m sure

[crimson marsh]

Hey I’ll be in Osaka too, are you guys drinking after? I want to check out PURE osaka

[fervent wolf]

I'll add you to the chat.

Not sure what plans are after

[austere jackal]

Anyone have recommendations for nice views in enoshima/Kamakura? Not just temples or the island since I went there already. Maybe beaches or high vantage points or something?

[tight ivy]
