Sounds like a good plan to me, cheers!
im gonna be in japan next friday :)
Too good
Oh lots of overcast days these days though and rain
The occasional pretty hot 28C days too
It rained on Tuesday and Wednesday
Im landing in like 6 hours, doubtful going out straight away, but Saturday/Sunday I'd be down for some drinks if anyone's interested
Rainy days make perfect drinking vibes 
First night beers are delicious you have to
Haha that actually sounds like a great time. One piece music and statues road trip
Good point.. I was gonna head to asakusa anyway for food and a cheeky beer may suddenly turn up idk
Anyone else currently in Kanazawa?
@mild plume def come for first night bevvies they go hard
@woven lily where you at my little Canadian devil
Is anyone gonna be in Asakusa tn I got no plans and down for food drinks the whole shebang
Yes hello am here having my pregame onigiri
Well shit, if you're out in asakusa tonight let me know, I'll be at my hotel hopefully by 1030/11ish and will shoot a message to see what's up
https://maps.app.goo.gl/umKMTuNvwDK3QQai9?g_st=ic
Seems like a good starting place?
Sweet I’ll Chuck you a dm if that’s good then you can lmk where you are and when
Bet sounds good 👍🏼
Nice meet up at the yakitori place?
When?
It worth taxing at 9pm when I land? Or just deal with the keiyu line, I imagine I'd only save like 20mins? I've never bothered taxi'ing from the airport.
I need to rest my weary ankles a bit first
Just taxi’ed from ueno to my hotel bc my suitcase is dead i may or may not have dropped it down a flight of escalators at 4am in Tokyo station last week
You lmk when just @ me
I’ll have a smoke and strong zero and wait for you and @woven lily
I’m very much next to sensoji and there’s so many people out
And getting a bit chilly should grab a jumper
Just how rogue is it to get wagamamas before hopping on a flight to Japan? It feels borderline insulting when the real deal is so close now... 😅
An exercise in patience
Rogue 😂 are you Canadian?
I always use rogue never heard someone else use it
Lol, nope, I'm a Brit
On a scale from one to ten how dodgy is a 30 minute massage for 10k yen lmao
Fellow brit! Where you from?
I've been living in the US and losing my accent so hopefully we cross paths so I can absorb some back. 😂
Grew up in Devon but living in Birmingham the last few years. How about you?
Very pricy
I got a 60 min one yesterday for 6000, 10k should be incredible
It just looks very sketch
Anyone in Asakusa tonight?
Like you’re not paying for a massage
Hello yes we all are actually this is very convenient
Ah awesome. Grew up in Bournemouth but spent 5 years up in Manchester then London before moving.
Oooo, dinner?
More like endless drinks
Aha yeah surprisingly, my last week when I come back is in shinjuku. Hopefully everyone conveniently moves to shinjuku last week of May 🤣
I don't drink, but if y'all alright with me hanging out I'll come by
Our hydration check
I should be free 7?
Anyone up for Shinjuku drinks tomorrow night? Pretty please 🙏 lol (I say that like I'm not going to be completely exhausted and ready to crash out the second I land)
Debating how much yen I should take out if I have two more days and 3k left to spare rn …
I can be!
I might be out drinking with a mate who works in a Shibuya bar. I'll let you know where we end up!
^ ya I’m spending my day in Shibuya so close enuf
Cactus coming and will be about 50 min so you wanna start at like 6 @vernal tree ?
Oooh fab, land at Narita about 7 so probably gonna be 9ish by the time I'm actually checked in at the hostel and ready to meet up with people. Until then I will continue to live vicariously through you all!
If we are sitting then yes
Tomorrow is shibuya night then
My ass is ready my feet are not
The best
I am also in Asakusa. Hi all first time poster, long time lurker 😂
Aight well if y’all wanna meet up at like 6 outside this 7/11 next to asakusa station?
Hi Kyle! Pls join
Howdy fellow non drinker 👋 It feels like we're a minority here 😂
Nah you got @knotty sparrow too!!!
I'll sit with you guys, I'm looking forward to enjoying the odd umeshu but I am old now and have become a complete lightweight in my 30s
I’ll be in Shibuya with my Japanese friend as well tmo night
Feels bad.man. same here
It's cause us Brits started drinking at 13... Well some of us.
I've heard about those magical pre drinking hangover drinks. I'm 32 so will be stocking up.
Cider in a field 😁
Oh now that’s a mood
They don’t do shit
Damn straight, how else do you get 3 litres of booze for your pocket money?
Nothing can save 20 beers
Let me believeee
Only night I haven’t been hungover is drinking 96% shots
Go to that bar
Hahaha man my liver is whole heartidly f'd cause of those foolish years
You won’t be hungover
Aha they made me do that in lake Michigan, it definitely worked
I'm less stressed about these hangover, more the absolute mess I become when I suddenly tip over the edge from "happily buzzing" to "completely wasted" 🤮- there does not seem to be an in between any more
I feel that
Gambling
Oh man I've been working on my drinking skills for years to avoid that, when to water or when to switch it up. But Japan got me last time as diff alcohol and.. well... Strong zeros
It's genuinely annoying because I was never a messy drunk as a teen, the worst I'd do is randomly wander off, but I was a remarkably drama free night out
And now... My friends have way too much ammo on me 🤣
Me and Japanese lacrosse players were sword fighting the other night in the bathroom
It got wild
Love that
Sword fighting ... Bathroom ...
Haha I've never heard it called sword fighting
🇨🇦
I know something uh, else, called sword fighting..
That's hilarious though, what bar was this at?
I legit thought you meant with the lacrosse thingies, but were being intentionally innuendo about it
Day 4 😳
Have you spoken any Japanese at all?
Yeah
My Japanese is too beginner / limited 😔
Your Japanese was clearly so good that it surpassed the need for empty compliments
Scary
they just think you a local bro
I'll join if you guys will be drinking into the night
I have to see Planets at 6
Anyone in Kyoto wanna meet up for dinner tonight?
Ligma sack
I will be drinking but gotta take last train

There’s 3 of us right @vernal tree

Side quest

I can be there in 15 lol
Wait
Sweet well just have strong zeros and wait for ya
What is going on
Cactus and I about to meet up he just got off train
Yeah I’m just having a drink down the street behind it
Nice there’s a cop on a bike on the corner helping an old lady if that helps with directions
No bc I’m infamous for realizing a block later I made a wrong turn
Worst case look out for a gaijin in a black puffer jacket with a guy trying to make himself look obviously Canadian and not American
I’m Canadian and have no confidence in identifying that lol
HAHA @woven lily you’re set buddy I’m gonna be the odd one out this time
Sign me up for drinks and food tomorrow night still sleepy from karaoke yesterday 🫡
Yop trying to find thrbplace based on the photo is fun
F U N

Go past cop with a bike
I’m literally beside the cops
What's the meeting place again?
We’re on the stairs drinking strong zero
Happy it’s at 7-11. Funds are low haha
Think in next to the popo
I’m coming to save you buddy
Just popped around the corner holding a strong zero
I see popo 👮 I think
Nope they’ve moved
I should have taken public transport
@vernal tree were you at Karaoke last night?
hey all, this a random crash event?
Regardless… I rly like your handle. It cracks me up. 😂
I was not I was ded
👌
Ty mission success
Ya
Five gaijin walk into an izakaya
Sounds like the start of a bad joke right
This sounds like ed Sheeran singing in Japanese
Ed sherr-san
@valid hazel Where are you guys? Still drinking?
@real garnet @vernal niche Either of you still planning to meetup tonight for a drink in Kyoto?
Sounds like everyone here is turning up lmao
Where’d you guys move to from 7-11, I just got here
Misses my first shinkansen so not even in Kyoto yet 😭
If you guys are still out at like 830 I might come
@lavish citrus where’d everyone move off to?
Hey
We are in yakiniku like namba
Eating
Sorry didn't know you were coming
Yeah got a little late, had an issue I had to deal with
I thought the 7-11 was Tokyo
Think we will be, I'll ping you, we're gonna look for an izakaya at 8. Near here https://maps.app.goo.gl/UC2CR65mzndJkQ5k8
Yeah, is namba in kyoto?
Oh yeah we are ready for the next izakaya
Asakusa?
Yeah in the Torikizoku
But let us know we only have 5 seats
So we’ll go to the next one when you get here
Shiii it's gonna take me 50 minutes

Black country museum rules!!!!!
Going to shibuya tomorrow with a buddy of mine. First time gaijin. Down to meet up with anyone interested in exploring the area.
We were just in Shinjuku and went down a street with no less than a dozen Nigerians trying to sell us 🍈
Great weather actually! No rain. Tomorrow looks good as well.
Sick, we'll be in Osaka 17-19. Any good spots to look out for?

Osaka - 16th to 25th / 26th
Meeting one person for drinks on the 16th from the discord
Did you accidentally go to Kabukicho?

Waiting to board my first flight and will be in Narita in 15 hours. This is gonna be so awesome
Do street photographers here ever get bored?
I love Hozen-ji so much
Made it to Osaka
Anything happening on the 13th looking to get a few beers when I’m back in Tokyo?
Know any cool things to check out in Asakusa? Gonna head that way tmrw maybe.
I just landed last night and hit some cute izakayas late night near the don quixote
Can't comment much more than that yet sorry!
I'm currently trying to figure out what area to tackle today and walk around if you have any suggestions!
Thinking I'll hit up ueno
What time?… Ueno is also on my list.
Bros gotta go back and mark his territory again
I’m well acquainted with my hotels onsen cold bath but that didn’t help at all
Hot shower and then back to bed I think
Are ya’ll sick or something?
A bit hungover
unsure - I am dealing with some hefty jetlag, gonna try and creep out of bed and find breakfast soon, where you staying?
i'm assuming ueno is a better shout than other spots for a weekend though
aha when I called yesterday you guys sounded pretty sauced, not surprised
we can grab some breakfast somewhere if you want
I’m actually still in bad…
Probs just gonna eat some fruit I bought from the スーパー yesterday for breakfast
I wasn’t feeling great yesterday (despite that, I still went to Teamlabs Planets with another person on the server)
Feeling a lot better rn tho, but still not 💯
Oh, I’m staying in Kita btw @mild plume
gotchya s'all good, if you still feel like syncing up for Ueno let me know, Ill probably start meandering around towards there soon
hope you feel better soon though!
Yeah lol it was Kubichiko Sakura street. We're gonna do Universal Studios in Osaka on the 17th. Down to meet up afterwards.
kabuchinko
The pimps on Dotonbori were so polite compared to Kabukicho. I was harassed there 😂
Is there a big difference
Yes
Ok well he was definitely a pimp with how much he was harassing me. At least touts are subtle I guess
Pimp owns/manages prostitutes
Touts r fucking annoying
I’ve only ever seen them I. Shinjuku
Do train platforms not have trash cans
Just trains
@mild plume have you gotten said breakfast yet I've awoken in Akihabara
I grabbed some Lawson chicken to tide me over holy sheit
So good, heading towards Ueno now
I can probably eat again though
A few of us in Osaka will be going to Round 1 Shinsaibashi at 2pm today. Come join if you'd like!
🫡 Roger that I'm sending myself to ueno now
Wanna meet up @ivory parcel ? Ima get a selfie Infront of this building real quick, as a brit the name OiOi is amazing
Bet, sounds good
Mountain
@mild plume yeah let's do that
Savaloy
You don’t drink!!!!
I'm in Ueno park now
Wut
Where we meeting? You coming to Ueno park first or am I meeting ya somewhere for food haha
Was gonna go around here first if that's cool
I'll hit Lawson and come to the park
Bet
Hahaha
Let me know when you're at the park and I'll stop at some point obvious
I'm just walking down the long path north
This place is huge, my bad, I should have given a better spot, I'm gonna stop at the fountain in the middle
I'm watching a dude on a big unicycle
I've just passed him I'm at fountain
Marco
I've got baked beans
Is that supposed to lure a brit like me?
Tell him you have a Gregg’s sausage roll
Food ueno anyone!
Just had lunch by myself at a rlly nice little katsu place
Rude
@valid hazel R U in Tokyo rn?
Yeah asakusa based now for a week then back home sadly

But have to pump out an assignment today so that’s why I just ducked down to the small tonkatsu husband and wife shop
@ivory parcel and I gonna grab food n drinks somewhere if anyone wants to sync up.
Hey Canadian here first time in Tokyo, will be roaming around tonight before heading to Hiroshima tomorrow. Anyone wanna meetup give me a shout! 🙏
Are they fucking rainbow six sieging every fucking room
Why is this taking so long
Stupid fire wasting my last day
Should have stayed out until 5 AM if today was your last day
https://www.songkick.com/concerts/41873678-san-holo-at-sel-octagon-tokyo
Anyone going tonight?
Just landed at Haneda airport and about to take keikyu line to the hotel
Hoping I get to meet some of you cool peeps during my trip 🙂
Got to drone first 💀
What are your plans next week?
Whereabouts are you guys? I’m just coming back from Saitama. Good to meetup in like an hour or two
Welcome
Don’t take the wrong direction
I'll be in Tokyo up until Tuesday. Then I'll be in Kyoto for the remainder of the week.
My activities are just casual outdoor points of interest to start wearing away jet lag
First time here as well. Down to meet up for a bite or something
@verbal sorrel perchance, we're having highballs in ueno but might send @mild plume home to drop off gear to get ready for night drinks
Damn, getting classy with the drinks. Well if night drinks are happening let me know
I can join l8r as well
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Highball real classy eh 😂😂😂
We are upperclassmen after all
@valid hazel get in on this btw, danial is my best mate and landlord haha
Since we couldnt drink take him in my stead
🙏
@everyone , someone wants me to test
Test cactus
I’ll come out
But can’t get fucked
I wasted my day today
@ivory parcel lmk when you guys are planning on drinking I’ll make my way over from asakusa
We have no plans as yet other than the idea
If y'all are down for one more, I'd like to join y'all 😁
I'll be roaming around Asakusa just getting stuff for my stay. Lmk if something happens
I’ll just head over to Ueno now then might as well
@valid hazel we have disbanded
Aw okay I’ll still walk through sensoji lol
Im actually roaming around Ueno right now, if anything is happening would be keen to join 👍
It got me up and out of bed
To regroup at 6 I believe
Sounds good where?
The group last night was a bit too big imo I think we scared the izakaya staff when I turned up and said 6人
You know what I’m gonna go to the driving range
Haven't gotten that far so you have any recommendations @mild plume just made me eat skin
Yeah I do for Ueno actually
I hit the museums in ueno yesterday
Just gotta a find the pin
the national museum was p good if u into history and dusty pots, statues, and drawings
We hit the museum was very good
Meet here at 6? @ivory parcel @mild plume @barren temple

Excellent thank you kindly
Take them to mango beers after 🥰
Very good mango beers

Ok I’m walking to the place to reserve a table

Think that’s 5
I’m I’m Ueno
too big of a party we can find somewhere else damn max is 4
That’s ok
We can try at 6 see if they’ll have us otherwise this is just a good place to drink anyway
Nothing wrong with a bit of skin init
Where you at lylat
https://maps.app.goo.gl/gddSRyfSXBXn5wW5A?g_st=ic I’ll just sit here and wait for a bit
Time to grab an onigiri I think
I've got Jackson on live tracking
Let me rest I'll be back in the streets in 30mins
Yeah I gave big boy my link
I’m just meeting up with a friend before he heads off for a quiet night
I won’t move 😂
Cool, was just doing some more research on that and wondering if u made it lol
How long did it take u?
Cool, probably 3-3.5 for me xdd
Was it crowded/do u see ppl on the route ?
Oh nice there’s teashouse in between, + another 30 mins chilling there for me hahaha
Oh, im from chicago lol, where u from ?
Nice, thanks for all the information, cant wait
Good luck and enjoy the rest of ur hikes 🙂
Yo another Chicagoan!
I’ve got a ten hour layover on the way back, any good recommendations for lunch/dinner? Otherwise to the in n out I go
Walk maxing
headed over
Currently in Kyoto resting at the hotel after a long day.
Anyone up for a meetup for dinner / pass some time.
Solo travelling and wouldn't mind a bit of socialization.
This the spot?
This is @mild plume
Sweet I’ll head down now
Anyone here yet
lol, just checking. Thought I’d be late cuz the train was delayed
Aight I’m here I’ll wait outside for our party to assemble
Ina grey cap?
Nah just sat down smoking my iqos
In black puffer jacket
Sweet @ivory parcel we out front
Hmm i think im here?
Im wear a black linen shirt and brown pants?
This place right?
In Osaka, heading to Teamlab soon and then happy to grab dinner/drinks probs Dotoburi area, if anyone's around feel free to ping 😁
@little slate I’m down, is anyone else in Kyoto interested in dinner / meetup tonight?
Thats great. Shoot me a dm whenever you are up to go.
If I dont reply its freaking discord muting my notifications on dms. In which case just reply back to this message.
Anyone in Tokyo trying to stay out tonight til the trains open back up? lol it’s my last weekend here, won’t be free to start drinking til 11 or so tho
Literally just landed (as in not even off the plane yet) so gonna be checking into my room in Shinjuku and then up for crashing whatever you lot are getting up to!
Anyone in Kyoto this evening and wanna grab a drink and then cycle around?
Or maybe cycle first and then grab a drink 🙈
Captain1 if youre drinking in kyoto, big recommend
Gonna be grabbing dinner in Shibuya at Ce La Vi then probably bar hopping in the area. Down to clown 🍻
Landed earlier today at HND and finally made it to my hotel in Kyoto. I'll be in Kyoto until the 17th if anyone is down any of these days to do anything. Third trip to Japan, so no real set plans; keeping it flexible.
@cyan gyro
@woven lily @real garnet Kouma is back
Anyone in Kanazawa tonight?
幸真
I am facing the realisation that by the time I'm through this queue and actually at my hostel it's gonna be getting late!
What time are you there until? And what is happening after? I'm in Ginza at my hotel getting ready.
The queue is fucking garbage
Worst case you can stay in a capsule or a love hotel if ur hostel closes or something
They cheap af
And so easy
Hell yeah brother
genuinely what does this mean
It wasn't too bad in the end, now sitting on the skyliner so should get to my hostel about 9:30ish 😊
Would also like to know this, but somewhat fearful of what the answer might be
Can only be good fortune surly
yeah a little scared
I feel like it means like a sex maniac 😂
Like nympho
My money is on him defiling a cuddly toy from Donki
Nah bestiality is where it's at. Possibly at a zoo.
I once knew a guy who reckoned that bestiality with male animals was ok because erection=consent (his reasoning not mine), so by that standard you should be letting the tiger buss in you
I would apologise for degrading the level of this conversation but I'm not the one who brought up tiger fucking
Valid argument
It means what it says
I was fucking a tiger literally
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Great input
You’ve never heard of tiger sex Shibuya? 4000 yen 20 minutes
Sex with tiger
Maji
See this is the kind of thing where "pics or it didn't happen" is a cursed phrase
I really don't want to Google this
Can we have a discord chat just for arranging meetups (a quick city/location/time)? 😅😅😅
This chat is a mess 😅 like go ahead kings have your fun, but kind of defeats the purpose of meetups 😅
Apologies in advance for being a Debbie Downer 😁
Dope I’ll let you know when I’m headed out to Shibuya
Anyone know a good food place in shibuya/shinjuku where u can eat alone comfortably? Also at this hour
Any particular kind of food? Also what do you mean by eat alone? Like not feel weird going in solo, or have a quiet meal without feeling the need to socialise?
Lots of places but if you want something cheap, Matsuya, Sukiya, Yoshinoya are good options
Ramen is good too
What y'all gonna do in shibuya btw. Died there yesterday but I'm back tonight lol
Pretty much any food (except meat). I’ve been to scared to go to restaurants and order that’s why i kinda mean one of those places that have tablets but also have good food😭😭
I'm pescetarian so will be on the hunt for good veggie options too if you want some company at some point
Aaah yess me 2
I've got a booking for a vegan izakaya set meal next week that I'm very excited about!
Oooh sounds good!
Where is it?
Asakusa, veganic monkey magic. You have to reserve and pay online ahead of time and I booked mine a few weeks ago now, there may still be some slots open though.
Aah thank you! Hopefully they still have some availability
Are most restaurants in tokyo reservations only?
Well I still haven't even eaten so playing it by ear. If people are nearish to Shinjuku and I don't completely fall unconscious the second I walk into my room then I'll come out for a couple.
I just wanna drink. Could possibly karaoke if we get a big enough group going
Also how acceptable is wearing a yutaka around tokyo for tourists?
Wahhhh wahhhh
Ur name is red
Are you in Japan? Looking for meetups?
You can definitely find answers to both of those on Google. There are a lot of reservation only places, but they're the kind of places that you'd likely need a reservation for in any city in the world, it's not just a Tokyo/Japan thing. I'm here for 2 weeks and only made 1 dinner reservation, didn't make any at all last time I came. But then I'm not a foody and am easily satisfied by a konbini onigiri
Like if you have looked up a place and feel really set on definitely going there, then absolutely reserve ahead if you can
And character cafes tend to get really booked up
Sometimes you can't reserve without a Japanese phone number and will need your hotel to make the reservation though
It’s my last night down to clown
This is a fair request—I do ask people who go off-topic to use an appropriate channel. Don’t forget you can make your own channels in #1055718934483062804 if you’ve got a plan coming together
Please ask in #food
Please ask in #culture-and-language
It's one floor underground at shibuya parco. Has vegan options. Closes in 50 mins. Very introvert friendly
No cash
Don’t think we need a super huge group but we could hit up karaoke and a club
I'm heading over to shinjuku at some point tonight. Hit me up if you're in the area
Im also in Shinjuku rn
I’d be down for that too
Sounds cool
Wait zebra
Shibuya or shinjuku
Sounds good to me. My hostel is next to shin okubu station so Shinjuku is slightly easier for me but I'll go with the crowd
@violet swallow and me are going to Shinjuku right now
If you want to join up
Not really! But i forgot my passport 😓so i dont think i’ll be able to drink
I don't think anyone is ever gonna check you
How’s the clubbing/bar scene in Shibuya? I usually go to Shinjuku
I hope so😓
Bar scene is better in shinjuku. Club scene better in shibuya
Down to meet up with everyone and bar hop in shinjuku and then whoever can hop in a cab with me to a club in shibuya
Im near kabukicho area
That works for me. I’d be down to check out the clubs in Shibuya
Do you want to meet up near golden gai? We're at Shinjuku Station in less than 10 minutes
Aah golden gai is fine
Do you know the road with the toilet in the middle lmao?
Absolutely no idea 😭😭
All good
wait im a supposed to go through this wacky street ? I’ve been approached like 7 times now😭
I’ll leave for shinjuku in like an hour
Nvm i think i know it
It's a good place to meet up because it's iconic 😭
We'll be there soon
I can see that😭😭this is crazy
👌🏻👌🏻
Literally just got to my room, gonna grab a shower and then come find you lot!
Much better in Shibuya from my experience
Bar for Shinjuku though I guess lol. Not the biggest fan of Golden Gai thouhh
Hate to be that person but what's the "dress code" like? What's the vibe? Haven't bought anything particularly clubby with me
I find nightlife in Shibuya better overall tbh
Ello
Oh shit wait my phone is like 1% and i forgot my charger omg
Shit
If i dont reply in like 2 min then go on without me
Where are you rn
Whatever you want typically
I just see people wearing casual stuff mostly (though I do see some women wearing dresses and stuff) though that could change vs somewhere like Roppongi or something. Haven't been there for nightlife though
Obviously no flip flops and whatever though
I’ve been going in like cargo pants and long sleeves with new balances
Also you only need ID you don’t have to bring passport
Excellent, I do not intend to wear any of those things
Signs in Japan are amazing. I always get a giggle when I see how to properly use the toilet signs
Clubbing 👀
So we meeting at 90 Shinjuku then? Cos I'm about to head.
You need to have your passport on you at all times. Regardless of where you are. My friends got caught out by the police last time when they went to the laundromat without Thier passports
Anyone else going to want to grab food?
Yeah I’m down to hit up an izakaya all you can eat/drink
I’m a little hungry myself
Will need to be one where I can get at least something without meat - fish is fine but if it's nothing but pork I'm gonna struggle
Most of the izakaya are steak and chicken skewers unfortunately so maybe that’s a no go 😂
The secret to smacking 7 drinks and ramen is the speed you do it in.
Rip ramen gang
I'll probably be in ahinjuku around 1115. I'm guessing people will still be around 😅😅
Lol no worries then, I'll attempt to grab something on the way
Omw to shinjuku
I'm pretty much in Shinjuku now, just wandering and taking it all in!
I won’t be in shinjuku or shibuya til after midnight, didn’t realize my hotel is so far away
@dire rivet you guys still in Shinjuku 90
All good
I’ll head there
Ace, I'm about 5 minutes away in an ACDC top with a jacket round my waist
Cool about 5 out myself. Long sleeve with a blue jersey with number 2 on it. Black Bucket hat and black pants
Totally overshot it lol
Yeah nah I’m still five out lol
Ah cool, I'll hang around for a bit cos apparently while I'll happily march around Tokyo solo late at night I still get angsty about going into a bar lol
Hey sorry we're leaving to nakano
I'll be there 1130
too much ramen dying rn
Who's in Shibuya rn?
I'm transferring at Shibuya 🫥
Currently in an izakaya in Shinjuku - what's the destination
I’ll be at shinjuku station around 12:10
Nearly there
clubbing?
Which bar. I'm in golden gai
I'd join but my stomach cannot handle it tonight after last night
Your claim over that sewer expires in 26 min tho
It's fine, someone else can have it
I’m still not sure where the meet up spot is
Torikizoku
Near golden gai
Torikizoku Shinjuku Kuyakusho-dōri, レオ新宿ビル・ 地下1階 1 Chome-2-3 Kabukicho, Shinjuku City, Tokyo 160-0021, Japan
I claimed two Yamanote train tracks after 12 AM and I'm content with that for now
Ok
If anyone wants to join we are in golden gai
No longer at torikizoku?
We're just finding the next location, are you just getting into Shinjuku?
Sorry forgot to reply
Opposite here in who bar
Let us know if yall decide to leave golden gai, we’re prolly gonna karaoke soon
Ok
Got off at Ueno station and on our way to our hotel walked by a super busy alley. Lots of people eating and such
Hello, just wandering if y’all would accept newbies to nightlife events? Big fan of them and would love to try it out with others in Tokyo 👋
ye just show up
o wait im not in Japan anymore lemme switch roles
How is the nightlife there? We have lockout laws which killed most of our venues 💀
Japan has lock-in laws. [Miss the last train and you are stuck partying until morning!]
Sup guys I’ll be in Tokyo in less than 24 hours 🙏
Oh noooo.... Well what can you do 🙂
Safe travels
This surprised me when I was there yesterday.
Admittedly, I never looked into how Ueno was. But the numerous food shops and busy crowds was awesome
Ty
Depends on what you're looking for and how old you are
Made it to Japan yesterday. Exploring Sensouji this morning and this is pretty awesome
I'm too lazy to go to Osaka today 
I’ll be in Tokyo in like 11 hours😄
Channel 8 fellas
I'm kicking off my travels with an antiques market and the imperial palace 😊
We are
If you want to go in this may apply. I think it’s a daily thing.
Thats a weird looking kamen rider!
Shinjuku is the best. I randomly stumbled upon some chill bars last night in golden gai. If you want to meet locals don’t go to to street level bars instead go to the bars that are upstairs
Protip: upstairs bars = best bars at GG. 😁
@bold moss are you get up to anything during the next few evenings?
Hail Lain and In Sea Hole are great
Highly recommending the antiques market on at Tokyo international forum today. 5 minute walk from Tokyo station and If anyone has been thinking of picking up a yukata or haori then there are lots of stalls here selling really lovely ones for 1000yen
Sounds good, I’ll take a look
Oh I might check that out. I’m by the Imperial Palace right now.
Thought imperial palace was closed Sundays?
It looks open or at least the grounds?
Ah ok, was planning that today before I saw it closed on Sundays/Mondays on Google maps, weird
Haha ya there’s a bunch of people here. And a marathon?
I’m literally sitting on a bench eating my Kirby pastry and people watching
I'm in need of cream puffs
If ur coming to Sendai make sure you come to matsushima
Yeah you can't tour the inner palace, but you can wander around the gardens
Well I'm still at the antiques market (it goes until 4) so if anyone wants to meet for lunch or whatever, give me a shout
I’m down to grab a bite, just heading over to check out this antique market
@ivory parcel haha how you feeling
Same, I was gonna eat some conveyor built sushi first
Pethel, you're peter right?
Also this one today
https://toos.co.jp/basementbar/ev/reach/
Tallest poster ever
Food inside the venue makes it an attractive replacement for your dinner plans
Yep that is me. I should probably change it in this server
Let's sync up for lunch! I really wanna try sushi ro haha
Also hot damn my hotel roof top is awesome
Would y'all be down for rotary sushi?
Damn, you got a rooftop? The top of mine has a little window to look out
Is that only running today or?
Can I hit it up tomorrow?
Today and the third Sunday
Okay I’ll have to go today then it’s my last Sunday in Tokyo
Definitely need to eat, where you at and how pricey we talking?
@mild plume must have been the ramen but I feel great
@mild plume where is this rotation of sushi
Let’s meet up guys and decide?
@Peter where are you currently?
By Brooklyn roasting co outside
Ok, I'll come find you, I'm in bright trousers and a black top
@mild plume where you at?
Sushiro isnt expensive I don't think. Also happy to get whatever, I can always do it later I think I'm staying next to one
I m like 15 mins out, how long does it take to get through the roadshow as I gotta go through it before it closes
Yeah the ramen was so good!
Sushiro a chain I think, I know there's a couple in asakusa but not sure beyond that😂
@ivory parcel you joining in on this sushi?
Yurakucho looks to be the closest sushiro
Ooo we doing conveyor first? Did you do the antique thing already @verbal sorrel ?
I'll speed run it whilst we wait for @ivory parcel them
I just got to the Tokyo forum
Are we meeting near brewing company
Sure, let’s meet up there we can wander around and see
You joining in on this?
Either or, if @ivory parcel wants to browse
Felt that
I need to hit Uniqlo later
No not a hangover just mental health wise would rather come down and be fun than come and be a grumpy cunt
I’m ready to right hook a Chinese tourist
Before the edit was better
You need to get some autism undies from Uniqlo
AirRizm
Yeah come and have fun
@valid hazel I'll let you piggyback on me
Thanks dad
I might have figured out why I’m grumpy
I haven’t had a smoke yet all day
And I’ve been up since 9:30
I was about to say
I’ll come down in a sec just gon have an iqos
Do you even exhale
I’ll just inhale and inhale and inhale
This guy talks so fucking much
Where you at
Americans or Chinese who is the worst tourist
We’ll head to the coffee place if you’re here
My weebness is satisfied
Brooklyn roasting co?
3 exclusive from the vault one piece shorts
Chinese tourists bc they actively break the rules
Some Americans can just be a bit clueless
I’m on my way @ivory parcel
Tsukuba express then yamanote then walk
Be there at 1:30
Tokyo international forum
Cool, we're hanging out in front of Brooklyn roasting
Gu has good one piece stuff atm too

Anyone want to grab a late lunch in Akiba around 2.30-2.45? Going to Ootoya with @tame dragon. We'll explore a bit of akiba before leaving 4.30pm for a baseball game
Yeah, come on over
Still by the coffee place
