Domo my dude
This looks amazing!
getting to my hotel in asakusa around 3 or 4ish tomorrow, anyone around doing anything? food or other
About to head out too
Hanging around Dotonbori tonight with my friend. Down for beers, cocktails or street food
Couple of us based in asakusa so you’re set just @ me tomorrow when you’re here
We’ll head to the next one and seven people can fit in that one easy
Once Shabs gets here we’ll have a few then move on
Anyone out eating in shinjuku?
Want me to head to u or
You found a gem. This place looks amazing
Where is this at? 🙂
Ok I’m. A few minutes away
Anyone doing anything around Asakusa tonight? I'm down to meet up with some folks if so.
There’s a few of us
What’s the move? Coming from Shinjuku and I’m originally from SoCal
Dope, if there's any room I'm down to head that way.
I’m waiting so
sounds like a plan
Just landed 
I'm on the train back to Shinjuku. Need some food in my belly and then I can figure out if I'm willing to face the trip to Asakusa or if I'm having a quiet night lol
Brit meet up ?
Sounds good to me, you in Asakusa with everyone else or are the Brits abandoning everyone to establish our own night out? 🤣
@mild plume will be forced to choose his alliance
I’m waiting for them but I can scatter
I'm gonna be a bit anyway, I'm still 20 minutes away from my hotel and then it's another 30ish to get back over towards Asakusa so realistically it's gonna be closer to 9 when I actually catch up to everyone
I can head ur way ?
Nah, in case I get back to my place and decide I'm done for the evening.
We going to the next izakayas I believe
My $3 dinner in better
WHY IS THERE A LINE FOR ICHIRAN
Because it's like the most popular ramen in Japan?
Lineup buddddy
Because people need education
They don’t know any better
Right, I need to leave this room to get food either way, so someone send me a location and I'll start making an actual decision lol
Secret party at drift on the 23rd come check it out if you want to see the Tokyo underground music scene
That sounds like a very good way to spend my last night in Tokyo
Wait until you see the Dotonbori location
I'm in Shinjuku if anyone wants to hang
Dan is down for a rave

im pissing outside
What’s everyone doing today
I'm looking to hang in Osaka once I trek to Cinnabon
Then tomorrow is my last day before returning to Osaka and saying goodbye to my girl... 😭
Hey, am in Kyoto for the next 3 days. Planning for Arashiyama tomorrow as it supposed to be sunny. Anybody want to join?
@gleaming vine
To show they are not Tokyoites
I saw that in Kyoto also. Is that a thing? I didn’t think too much of it.
I seem to be the only person without an umbrella. Think the choice of white shirt today was also a little to bold
It's literally because Kansai people like to be different to Kanto people
It’s too humid for a raincoat too
This is a good day for some ramen
Umbrellas time
1 CNN article says this -
Kanto was once dominated by samurai, who favored bearing left when encountering strangers, so that they might draw their swords more easily. In contrast, Kansai was traditionally a region of merchants for whom it was important to protect their money and valuables, which they customarily carried in their right hand.
That’s what I’m doing first time here too
Anyone wanna grab lunch in asakusa?
My introverted extroverted ass is having a mental health recovery day and wanna go back for an onsen when it opens at 3
Btw if anyone’s looking for gachas, there’s a pretty big bandainamco shop in sunshine city
I believe is the biggest gatcha store in Japan
Always down for good food
Lmk when you’re here I’ll take you to a small tonkatsu place if you want?
about to get on shinkansen to tokyo
yall doing anything around 5 or later? im down for whatever
Let me know if you see the Sonic Train!
This place was pretty meh tbh. Wasn't worth it for me
My favourite thing about Fukuoka was ainoshima cat island
@fervent wolf feel free to repost here: https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1173809335156080710

My partners family lives here and were moving here so its been super fun for me
hi guys! just arrived in tokyo today from singapore. would love to add some diversity to the meetups haha
is anyone visiting team labs planet today?
I'm also in white and decided buying a cap was better than carrying an umbrella. It's not chucking it down quite as much as I feared.
I'm enjoying lunch at a little vegan place in Aki and then taking a slow wander to Jimbocho to look at some books
Anyone planning to go to that gig that @bold moss mentioned tonight?
I ain’t going anywhere in this weather, I’m like really annoyed atm. Sims been doing my head in so had to treck in this weather for a new sim card so
@valid hazel they're putting something in the water
I’m down to go to team labs sometime. I’ve just got to Tokyo as well. I haven’t got tickets yet.
Anyone been to cocktail bars like trench, sg club, c shell, or ben fiddich?
Ugh, no. I've had bar trench on my list since last year - they actually had a residency here in Chicago two weeks ago I was too lazy to check out. 😩
But I'm hoping someone here has and can validate if they're legit or not
I’m going to try to go. I have a reservation for sg club so far

I’ll be a second just spotted fast n furious rx7 ☺️
We want inokashira line according to Google so meet you on the platform?
I'll come too
Great! If all three of us are going from Shibuya let's just wait on the platform at this end and go together, probably the easiest place?
Anyone solo in skytree right now?
Where are you
I've sent you a pm
I don’t know where that is I’m still on scramble
The Shibuya train station
Sorry was in the loo, there soon
Nearly there
Right, I'll stand by the information board, by the vending machine on the platform
Idk how to get there
On the actual train platform? Are we catching a train??
Yes unless people fancy walking 45 minutes?
Ok I’m heading to the line?
Ok I've just looked where the gig is. I'll get a ticket and come down
Cool, I'll stay put then.
Where the vending machine
Yeah, get to the Shibuya station and then follow the signs to the Inokashira line, if you follow the signs it will take you to a platform, on the platform there is a vending machine with a woman in a red jacket and a black cap leaning against it - that is me
You guys got a spot for the music gig?
You gone through the gate
I’m heading over too. I’ll join yall too. Meet y’all at the venue gotta drop some stuff off at my room
im in asakusa if youre still up for it
anyone else in the area want to get some food or something?
Yes, we're on the platform
I’m near asakusa right now
down for some food?
I’m down. I legit didn’t know what to do so I feel like I wasted a day
ah i had the same exact thing my first day, dont worry
Look for this ugly mug
where you wanna meet up at? @karmic helm
For sure. I’m current at the Tokyo skytree but I can take the subway to asakusa. Shouldn’t take too long
I’m not sure
You know the area?
ah yeah skytee only 15 mins from me so youre close
i know some of it, nothing by heart but im sure we can find a good restaurant
Sure, I'm still down!
Cool that works out. I’m not sure where to meet up
awesome @mint haven
hows the weather @karmic helm still rainy or no
deciding between pants or shorts if its hot
It’s rainy right now
pants it is
Haha
It was raining all day. I also realized that most stuff close early around this time so kinda ruined any plans I had today
Or lack there of plans
yeah rain was lame, i got soaked on the way to my hotel, i refuse to buy an umbrella i just thrive in suffering i guess
Damn I bought 3 umbrellas in a span of less than 24 hours
I think the rain was kind of a blessing for me. Scared all the big tour groups away from Kanakura. 😅
I guess it can be overwhelming if you solo
I bought one this morning and immediately had it stolen
100%
Especially with little to no planning lol
you and me can bond over solo travel trauma lol
Dude someone stole mine earlier at 7/11
is it raining or just wet?
shit i guess ill buy one
All day today
not gonna get soaked again
Yeah I got soaked hard while heading to my hotel at like 4 am
The wind broke my umbrella
I am currently sating my quagsire addiction
Yup that’s why I’m on my third umbrella within less than 24 hours of being in Japan lmao
alright where should we meet up @karmic helm @mint haven
Maybe in one of the stations?
Go no umbrella 😎
Yeah that’s true even with one you get soaked anyway
im next to tawaramachi?
Yeah right now it’s fine
what about you guys
Tokorozawa
I’m still at the skytree so oshiage
@mint haven
Hey new here so I don't really know the ettiquette but I'm near skytree as well if you guys don't mind me joining
youre also in asakusa?
Where in skytree?
By Komagata bridge
yeah its ok
I’m at the main entrance
@devout dust
Or in the same floor as the anime shops and Pokémon shop
i live near hikfune station so 1 stop away
So what’s the plan now?
Sure that works out. I’ll just wait at the lobby or the same floor as the Pokémon shop
Sure, it's really close and I haven't been up close yet!
We could maybe find something to eat here cause it closes at 9
ah no but i can head out to meet in a few minutes
Ofc
oh no, I’m curing my addiction
Are we doing something near skytree? My understanding was that the skytree itself was reservation in advance unless I'm wrong
Sweet
Nah you can buy tickets right now if you wanted and just go to the observation deck. Other than that it’s just a big mall
Alright, headed to the skytree. I'll probably be 20 min
headed there now should be 5 min to the station
👍
how about we meet oshiage station instead
so we dont have to just immediately go back to it lol
@mint haven @karmic helm @devout dust
im a few mins away

Have no plans tomorrow
Might Goto the Osaka aquarium
And strol through tobita shinchi

Wasn’t planning on doing much tonight in Osaka, unfortunately
Maybe when I get back next week
yeah I'm in Osaka but I have a regional JR pass, so I have day trips to other cities and I get pretty tired at night 😅
do you have meeting plan for osaka in the following days ?
Someone mentioned maybe next week Osaka sometime. Forgot who like Friday (17th onwards?)
I know a really good party happening nearby afterwards which I will show to anyone who is interested
https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/C6tSIHVS0di/
Really wish I was in Tokyo for these tonight 🥹
I'm here until the 15th
Planning to spend the 14th exploring Kyoto and the 15th the aquarium and castle quickly before leaving
I can make some time during the day on the 15th
I’m there let’s hit something
we could plan something, @verbal sorrel when are you leaving
One week later
My timing is impeccable, got last-ordered away from 298 again
Hey all, just a heads up, I'll be traveling through and around Osaka from May 28 to June 3.
At night I’ll look to organise some casual meetups for those looking to swap stories, maybe over a can of strong zero.
During the day, I've got some fun plans lined up like hitting up Ghibli Park, checking out Hiroshima, chilling in Kinosaki (Onsen Town) and of course some casual thirft shopping throughout Osaka. For those interested you’re all welcome to come along. 👌
Sorry to clarify I’m not back in Osaka until next week ~22nd
I just recall a lot of folks in Osaka later this week and month too
Is it the shinsaibashi one, i also got last ordered lol
Bonding with my partners father over a mutual love of abunai deka
Which aquarium ? We were thinking of going on the 15th as well.
I'm gonna look into it a bit more before deciding though
How come?
Sumida Aquarium was really pretty at the beginning but really small for the price
I'd go again though
If you want you can join me at the bar i go to, i am there every night
Thanks for coming everyone ❤️

anyone been to pikachu sweets cafe
You guys wanna grab food soon?
The Pokémon café?
no that one’s booked out. it’s a different one in ikebukuro i think? serves pokemon themed food
Ohhh I’m not sure, I heard the Pokémon cafe isn’t that good but it’s cute
Haven’t been there myself though
i have two pokemon tattoos so i feel lowkey obligated to go 😂
😂 who’s your favorite?
Hey guys anyone out this evening? Coming back from a mt fuji day trip
Any time after 7pm. I'm in Shinjuku but happy to go anywhere!
magikarp and psyduck
i only know the original 151 😂
How humid is it at night right now? Does it make it feel warmer or still need a light jacket of some kind?
Haven't found it humid at all. But then i live in Malaysia. ..
I’m coming from Southern California lol
Actually it looks like it’s less humid there than where I’m at now.
not humid but i always bring a light jacket
Yesterday wasn't pleasant with the drizzle.
If you want to try Pachinko. Goto arcade with medal games. 1000 yen in a Pachinko machine in an arcade will last you like two hours nearly
Vs 5 mins in a Pachinko parlour
You don't win any money but if you do win you have more medals to play another games
Shibuya Taito Station, and Adores in ikebukuro have lots of them
ooh i’ll check it out
my uncle loves pachinko so much that he comes to japan every few months for it
granted, he lives in korea so a quick trip
Yesterday wasn't pleasant with the drizzle.
I play every year when I come. Not just Pachinko but the other medals games too. It's entertainment for me
Just saw this now... we just grabbed something quick at 7-11 😅
Rip 😂
where y’all headed next?
Yeah, but today's weather is sooo nice! 🌤️
Coming to Japan tonight !!
Hey where yall headed now just finished my cheesecake lol

@bronze quest @stiff quarry Not sure yet! Just finishing up eating rn, standing around the station

Okie dokie, we might go wander
I’ll check into the chat in a bit and see if you’re all still around!
as soon as i figure out which ryokan to book for hakone
Ah I will arrive at 6pm so I think I can be free from 8pm to midnight
Any plans for tonight tho ?
i havent gone to a club yet so maybe that?
i’m tired of smelling like a whole pack of cigarette after i bar hop 🤦🏻
Oh that’s a good idea
I'm up for that too!
oh and if anyone wanna go to the gym in shinjuku around 8pm lmk 😂
ive been working out more on my trip than back home 🤦🏻
if anyone near asakusa or surrounding areas wanna do anything ping or dm, i got no plans right now
@misty lantern @candid jay i heard warp or atom is decent?
have you been to sensoji and all that?
I've not been to either yet. Anyone else?
im dead I've already done 16k steps and it's only 4pm 💀
i have, but down to go again
only been once
Warp is ok. Dunno if they changed it since last time I went (a month ago) but there's one big "EDM" type room (I wouldn't really say it's fully EDM and a much smaller smokey hip hop room. EDM room is pretty big compared to the Atom one
Atom is 4 floors, large ish rooms for each floor and different music for each floor
time to refuel with fluffy pancakes and coffee
Hip hop floor, "EDM" floor (similar thing as warp), American floor (modern hits), and ground floor (didn't go to this one so much but they were playing anime/Japanese music when I was there for 5 mins).
I think Atom was more fun imo but pretty pricey for entry if you're a guy
atom sounds more my vibe
it’s just for the experience so i dont mind the entry fee. i’m sure weekdays are cheaper too
I had the coffee but where are the fluffy pancakes!!?
Where fluffy pancakes?
there’s one in shin okubo that i went to, a korean spot actually, that was pretty good lol. i was lowkey excited to see if anyone spoke korean but no avail 😂
Same cafe probably. I was at Gotokuji too, but I really needed a solo day hence not joining up this morning
@minor hearth i keep hearing korean everywhere i go lmaooo
yeah same lmao. so many of my people are here 😂
한국인 많이 있네
ㅇㅇ 개많음
ㅋㅋㅋ
Maybe I'll join the clubbing people. Gonna check out Akihabara first though
Drank too much when I went atom last week lol
I went to ATOM 2 nights in a row, it’s not for everyone, if you’re younger or in college (like me) it’s chill, I feel as if any other age group would be ill if it
Cover is extremely fair with a drink, honestly the best club I’ve been too and outlives Cali & Florida clubs I’ve been to by a long shot
900 yen before midnight, that’s cover and drink included 🙂
Ok that’s my yapping for now
Backpack unpacked, nami swan just barely fitting into my suitcase now
Time for an onsen and a nap
How much did you pay? I went around 1130pm and paid 3900 but yeah came with a 500yen voucher for a drink (it didn't cover the entire drink though)
I think if I went before 11, it would've been cheaper
I went on a Friday though
i wish i was more into oomtz oomtz music
@minor hearth There is loads if you know where to look. What genre do you like?
Im going to warp in shinjuku on friday night for hardstyle night
for clubs, i like reggaeton and bachata. i dont think i’ll find it here tbh 😂
oh nvm. a different kind of oomtz oomtz. I thought you meant untz untz 😅
haha i was saying i wish i was more into edm
then clubs would be more fun since most clubs are edm/house/techno
For womb or atom?
Same
Responded to wrong thing
Hardstyle night lol
I’ll be there
I think I’ve gone to a different club each night now 💀
your going on friday? oh cool. wanna meet up before and get food or something?
not sure if im gonna be there the whole night. My hotel is like 10 mins walk away so I might bail early. ill be there for a few hours at least tho
I would but I’m having dinner with a friend from Todai beforehand and then going there !
But I’ll def see you there
Atom
yeah cool. will meet up inside or something
Weekend? Maybe there was some special event? Idk but I went last week Friday
In Shinjuku now anyone keen to meetup and have a few early drinks this evening?
I'll be back soon.
Probably about 1 hour
Any decision on clubs??
Awesome sounds good!
Or start in shinjuku then see what happens
i got caught up watching tokyo revengers smh
anyone up for food in shinjuku or within 30 min train ride distance
well i’m off to kagurazaka for some kaisendon
Yea 11-12 is 1900 on Fridays/Sat so chances are they bumped you up lol
Good shout
I like this mindset
I walked 5 miles across Tokyo club hopping with local college kids last night 😭
Amazing haha
So has the jazz bar idea gone out the window now, everyone set on clubbing? If there's anyone who is into music that is heavy in a different way, I'm probably going to hit up Godz tonight and look up some other rock/metal venues.
Did anyone find out any jazz options?
How far north east? I could do with a beer or three after walking around Akihabara all afternoon
They have an Asia tech EDM night and it’s lower cover than usual so y not
