May 2024

[half pollen]

I'm up for a drink or two after the music in Shimokitazawa

[prime bolt]

Pizza bun and melon Fanta is my clutch combini combo

[gaunt heart]

shibuya right?

[half pollen]

That sounds like the lunch of champions if I'm honest

[half pollen]

Yeah, I'll be coming back through Shibuya anyway

[glass mountain]

Which one sells pizza buns again? Gotta cross it off the list

[half pollen]

7/11 for sure

Not seen them at a Lawson so far

[slate cliff]

7-11 and Family Mart definitely do

[glass mountain]

Ah I'm right next to two lawsons

[slate cliff]

The internet seems to claim they have them at Lawson

[prime bolt]

I’d recommend 7/11 over Family Mart because they have melon fanta while Family Mart has their own brand that doesn’t taste as good.

[glass mountain]

I never seen them at mine

[slate cliff]

As well as New Days and Mini Stop if you find either

[half pollen]

I seem to have been next to Lawson's at all 3 hotels and I am pretty sure not one of them had pizza buns

[glass mountain]

Not a fan of melon sadly

[crude abyss]

@prime bolt meet around half past 8? In Mustang again?

Anyone else in Osaka feeling like getting a few beer?

[prime bolt]

I’m down, but I might not stay out too late. I’m feeling tired and have a tattoo appointment for 12pm tomorrow,

…but knowing me, if we’re having fun, I’ll stay out for however long haha

[half pollen]

Tattoo? Where? What? Tell all please

[crude abyss]

No worries Im tired from all the walking as well, and traveling to Kyoto tomorrow

[prime bolt]

🌝 I’m going to Kyoto immediately after my tattoo

[stuck gale]

@half pollen @slate cliff A part of me is a little sad we didn’t have our convo in #food
Our convo will likely be lost to time in this thread.

[half pollen]

True, I suppose that's why the channels exist. Damn I hate when the mods are right

[slate cliff]

I'll tell you about Piza-man whenever you want.

I honestly can't remember to look at half the other channels

[stuck gale]

I’ll hold you to that!

[slate cliff]

I got one the other day after we all left Hub and Paige was desperate for Fami-chiki

[prime bolt]

https://www.instagram.com/tokyothreetides?igsh=MWEwcHRuNGJvajV4aQ==

They’re foreigner friendly and have a shop in Tokyo. I booked with Naomi a few weeks ago. My quote is 35K - 50K for a “fist-sized” tattoo. I’m getting a daruma doll on my arm.

[slate cliff]

Today is probably a Saizeriya or that-one-Gusto that's only Women day

[prime bolt]

…I don’t know why I typed that out so robotically, sorry.

[half pollen]

Cool, post pics!

[slate cliff]

Ahh, good ol' Bodhidharma and his cutting off his eyelids

[wispy aspen]

Yeah i'm hella delayed, probably will get to basement bar around 7

[half pollen]

Yeah I'm still on the train too

Probably will be piza-man for dinner at this rate! Can a girl survive a day of shopping in Tokyo on two piza-man and a coffee? We shall find out!

[prime bolt]

Depends, was it a Boss coffee?

[half pollen]

Nope, it was a crappy free hotel coffee this morning. I'll be honest I'm only just realising that that was my only drink.

[prime bolt]

Oh yeah dude, definitely try to get some water pls

[slate cliff]

Or just Konbini coffee as well

[wispy aspen]

Tbh probably same, Lawson dinner looking likely

[half pollen]

Yeah I will - I have managed to hydrate reasonably well the rest of the trip, just today caught me out for some reason. The fact that I'm not melting in the heat clearly lulled me into a false sense of security lol

Just arriving at Shimokitazawa, guessing anyone who is coming tonight is just meeting at the basement

[torpid citrus]

Anyone in Osaka?

[prime bolt]

Me and @crude abyss are! We’re tentatively meeting for drinks around 8:30 at Bar Mustang if you’re free and down to clown. (:

[torpid citrus]

Ill see you guys then

[wispy aspen]

Yeah, I'll meet you there

[gaunt heart]

is there even a good place to go out to east of the imperial palace lol

i feel like shibuya is the only place to go hard at

[minor hearth]

which donqui is bigger, shinjuku or shibuya?

[indigo crescent]

Anyone in Kanazawa?

[gaunt heart]

shibuya

[prime bolt]

iirc, the one in shinjuku is just a regular one vs Shibuya’s is a MEGA don

[minor hearth]

guess i’ll be in shibuya for donqui and a drink

[gaunt heart]

sorry for not responding last night, forgot to check my phone

did you come to atom?

[minor hearth]

@gaunt heart idk if Luka told you but i was right there lol

[gaunt heart]

ah wtf?

i left at around 3 sorry for not spotting u

[minor hearth]

you were having so much fun so i didnt wanna bother 😂 i went to 4th floor

[gaunt heart]

so you saw everything🤣🤣

was 4th floor busy?

[minor hearth]

nah half empty

it was chill

[half pollen]

Cool - black cap, flannel shirt, (currently) sitting on a stool. It's pretty quiet at the moment so you shouldn't struggle to spot me lol

[wispy aspen]

Just walked in, red shirt, black pants terrible eyes

[slate cliff]

Depends what you want and depends what you mean. Ginza, Asakusa, Ueno all east and all have good places to go. If you mean shitty clubs, though, then no except for like RGB

[wispy aspen]

@half pollen are you the one under the disco ball

[half pollen]

Yeah, behind all the people on the far wall

[gaunt heart]

whereabout is rgb?

but yeah i mean nightlife

[slate cliff]

It's in Ueno

"clubs" just attract a very specific kind of person in Japan so there aren't that many, for most people nightlife is other stuff, whether it be bars, izakaya, or whatever

[gaunt heart]

yeah i know

[gaunt heart]

there are, but they’re all just packed in one specific area

it’s like a bubble

[slate cliff]

Well I do feel like "West Tokyo" is a decently sized area. Like I think there are also some clubs in Takadanobaba

[minor hearth]

oh you like the japanese stuff niceee

[slate cliff]

And I've been to outdoor club events on the beach south of Kamakura

[bold moss]

Well Akihabara has MOGRA

[minor hearth]

i’m watching an eel get filleted right in front me and it’s still moving ooh

[brazen lintel]

Where at..only ever seen on YouTube.

[minor hearth]

@brazen lintel i’m at unatetsu in shinjuku. had hitsumabushi last time and came back for the skewers

[fervent wolf]

Everyone should Goto MOGRA at least once!

I went 4 times hahaha

[crude abyss]

The side bet gamble there is: will it move when its on the plate

[gaunt heart]

that actually works as it is close to me

have you been there on a weekday?

[fervent wolf]

It's really cool to party with the weebs

You can check Thier twitch stream to see what the vibe is like

[gaunt heart]

ah it’s a weeb thing

not my cup of tea

[fervent wolf]

Yeah it's an anisong club. Most nights are anime music

You can check the schedule here

https://club-mogra.jp/2024/05/

[minor hearth]

when i head to shibuya, im gonna go to hub for one, just so i piss some people off here

[gaunt heart]

i might join you btw

when will you be there?

[fervent wolf]

I'm in Shibuya eating, I was gonna Goto the arcade to blow some ¥ but I'm down too

[slate cliff]

Yea but Shibuya Hub gets minus points

[cyan gyro]

Ushi hachi

You get a full view of the crossing

And its tasty af

[elfin crystal]

Hey, 25M here. I'm not the kind of guy that is clubbing every weekend but I want to go tonight. Anyone interested in joining? I thought about going to TK and/or Atom in Shibuya.

[half pollen]

I do want to hit it at least once, time is running out tbf lol, Thursday is my last night

Anyone not in Shimokitazawa right now is missing out though - plenty of time for live music and still clubbing after 😝

[fervent wolf]

3 weeks has gone so fast.. I leave Tokyo Tomorrow for my last week in Sapporo

[minor hearth]

@gaunt heart depends on if i wanna go to a rooftop bar first or not. i’ll lyk

[prime bolt]

I’m down to go with you on Thursday if you haven’t gone by then! That’ll be my first night in Tokyo. (:

[worldly hound]

Welp

[prime bolt]

THANK YOU

[gaunt heart]

was thinking of going again tn

[gaunt heart]

where’s the rooftop bar?

[desert linden]

Anything happening in Osaka tonight’s? Just got here and brother wants to nap, staying near dotonburi 😊

[prime bolt]

A few of us are meeting at Bar Mustang in the next hour. https://maps.app.goo.gl/oAgbFMaNeAavNFddA?g_st=ic

[desert linden]

Oh hectic, ima eat and keen!

[dire rivet]

I'll probably go out once I get there but won't get to leave my apartment before like 11pm

[desert linden]

Ez bros, im only here for 2 nights and brother always goes sleep early haha so just wanna go out and have some sips , vibes

[cyan gyro]

It goes hard!

[dire rivet]

Where exactly are you staying

I'm close to utsubo park

[desert linden]

Ohhh I’m at nippombashi station

Like 3 minute walk

[dire rivet]

I see

[gaunt heart]

[mild plume]

[stuck gale]

https://tenor.com/view/do-it-gif-26049397

AND GET YOUR GAME ON!!! 🎮

[mild plume]

"wanna come back to my place? shows picture"

[crude abyss]

Mustang bar is full, Im sitting at the wondow spot again 🙂

[prime bolt]

Damn I messaged in the wrong channel my bad

[cyan gyro]

When are you back in akiba?

[shy grail]

That's friggen awesome

I brought my laptop so I could do some gaming but I can't connect to any of the servers for whatever reason

I'm being robbed of a rare opportunity to play some fighting games vs japanese players

[mild plume]

I'll be back tomorrow! Just trying to find where to stay for the 3 days I cancelled Yakushima to come early, I've currently got Dormy Inn Onyodo or something in Asakusa booked, then to my original hotel in Shinjuku. Is Akiba a decent place to stay you think? I'm a bit iffy on this dormy inn atm

[mild plume]

Dude! Hit up the arcades!

get your ass handed to you in person!

... or hand someone their ass, didn't mean to judge your skills like that haha

[shy grail]

Lmao

I got a couple of arcades lined up when I go back to Toktyo

Tokyo

Also I'm cheeks at any fighting game that isn't Guilty gear

I have no experience playing other fighters so my ass would most definitely get handed to me

[cyan gyro]

Akiba is pre good, ill be there from 21 to 31

[stuck gale]

Then go wreck some people in Guilty Gear…

I know a specific arcade that has a cabinet in Akiba if you need rec

[shy grail]

Hell yea boi

Pls and ty

I can whip out my Potemkin and lose locally

It'll be amazing

[stuck gale]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/KmGXBfLdo1H7bK3U9?g_st=ic

6th floor, I believe

(Might be an older version of Guilty Gear though.)

[gaunt heart]

i’ll be arriving at shibuya in 15ish minutes

if anyone’s there lmk we can go for a beer

[shy grail]

My man

[shy grail]

Even better

[lavish citrus]

Respectfully

[steep pivot]

Hey! Anyone up for izakaya in Tokyo ?

[gaunt heart]

where

we’re in shibuya

[minor hearth]

whoever said shibuya hub is worse

you’re correct

[slate cliff]

And yet you didn't believe me

Was it the one closest to the station?

[minor hearth]

yes i picked that one specifically

let’s see how fast i can chug this highball and go to donqui

@gaunt heart i napped and just got here

[steep pivot]

Maybe sg low if in Shibuya, but open for any suggestion!

[slate cliff]

Yea, that one is...unfortunate

[minor hearth]

that was the quickest highball chug ive done

[gaunt heart]

let’s meet

[gaunt heart]

we’re currently near donki

so let’s meet

[steep pivot]

I mean tomorrow or any days after that haha

[gaunt heart]

today works, tomorrow and after that not longer in tokyo for a while

well maybe tomorrow actually

[woven lily]

Going to any hub is a sin

What’s wrong with Shibuya hub what happened? 😂

[minor hearth]

@woven lily oh shush

[woven lily]

If you want gaijin hunters don’t go to the hub

Just download bumble

😂

[minor hearth]

half the time people think i’m japanese 💀

@gaunt heart i’m shopping rn

[cyan gyro]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/oNxo9fULMkVy4jkZA?g_st=ic

[cyan gyro]

Based, why go to hub when you can go literally anywhere else

[gaunt heart]

yeah but wanna join soon?

[slate cliff]

Why go to Shibuya when you can go literally anywhere else?

[woven lily]

Not same logic

Go to a real Izakaya!!!!!!!!!!

I can see how maybe the hub would be a nice meeting spot with other foreigners but

You will have sooooo much more fun anywhere else

I’m not being a hater 🥺

[slate cliff]

Sure it is, bad place with bad people and you can do everything you can do there elsewhere, but better.

[woven lily]

Nooo Shibuya is amazing

When you want to drink every single day and you want it always busy no matter the day

Nobody does it like shibuya!

[slate cliff]

Might be a nice meeting spot with other foreigners

[woven lily]

Stop taking my hub hate to heart!

[slate cliff]

I think every single bad experience I've ever had in Japan has been in either Shibuya or Roppongi

And Yokosuka, but that doesn't count, cause America

[cyan gyro]

Agreed

[faint hollow]

Nothing tops shibuya

[woven lily]

Shibuya enjoyers based

[slate cliff]

It's basically like going to Times Square and thinking that's the best NY has to offer

[woven lily]

Times Square is a shit hole

Shibuya is 2000x better

[faint hollow]

lol what it’s not even the same

[woven lily]

But I see your logic

[faint hollow]

Shibuya is like all of nyc crammed into 1 area that’s why it’s so goat

[woven lily]

So goat

[slate cliff]

Sure it is, it's a massive central location that is mostly a tourist hell-trap but ocassionally you have to go in or through it

[woven lily]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-jordan-nba-championship-nba-title-nba-finals-chicago-bulls-gif-16343048

Shibuya ^

Where is a tourist trap in Shibuya

I haven’t been tourist trapped once

[faint hollow]

What kind of trap

[minor hearth]

shibuya is wayyyy worse than times square, just the sheer volume of people wise

[cyan gyro]

All of NY is tbh, worst place I visited in the US no contest

[woven lily]

That’s a good thing 😭

The more people the better I love crowds I love busy

[woven lily]

Agreed 😭

[cyan gyro]

I am very excited to be back in tokyo for 10 days tomorrow

Kyushu has been a blast but i need some nightlife again

[half pollen]

Whoop whoop

[cyan gyro]

Drive home today though

[prime bolt]

Come up to Chicago in the summer. Summertime Chi is a vibe

Oh you fancy fancy!

[cyan gyro]

I wont be returning to america for as long as I possibly can avoid doing so my friend, but I trust you haha

[prime bolt]

Honestly don't blame you one bit haha

[stuck gale]

Please hire me! 🙇🏻‍♂️

https://tenor.com/view/no-noooo-will-ferrell-car-gif-4733125

I would also like to ring in on the earlier convo topic if I may...

NYC is pretty gross. Shibuya is alright I guess.

[half pollen]

Hello kitty you're so pretty

Weird reference I know

Avril's attempt at Harajuku girl is forever emblazoned in my mind for better or for worse

It will all be ok, I promise

[crude abyss]

@prime bolt hey buddy, where did you get lost? I was just having a cig infront of the drunk clam 🙂

[half pollen]

That's super cute

I bought some bits in Shimokitazawa and Harajuku last week but nothing super exciting

Yeah, didn't go there last time I was in Tokyo and been really loving it this time around

[cyan gyro]

Ooooh

Keen

[slate cliff]

Too old of a reference for the kids here

[stuck gale]

2 decades later and I still don't think I understand Avril Lavigne

I guess the 'angsty emo chick' was a thing... for a while???

[half pollen]

Yeah alright I'm old. Like the damn grandmother of this chat 👵

[slate cliff]

We'll talk about old people stuff when we get our sorta pizza

[stuck gale]

mamaw, @half pollen

[stuck gale]

reschedule for next year so I can make it??? 🙏

[slate cliff]

I'll probably be around

[half pollen]

Down for that

[half pollen]

You think I can afford another Japan trip on my pension?!

[minor hearth]

damn this tax free line at donqui is starting to feel like it’s not worth it

[stuck gale]

OR I guess I could fly down for one day just to eat pizza w/ you guys... 🤔

[slate cliff]

That would be easier

Will I be in Japan? Probably. Will I be in this discord? That's anyone's guess

[stuck gale]

https://tenor.com/view/michaelscott-wink-yes-you-know-it-gif-13342379

[minor hearth]

@gaunt heart still out?

[prime bolt]

Oh shit, are we sharing cat pics?!?!?!?!

[stuck gale]

If you want to, probs better to put them in #general-chat 🙂

[prime bolt]

I saw cats and wanted to show off my son 🥲

[stuck gale]

do it! 😁

[half pollen]

My cats from the trip lol (ちいかわ was won in the claw games, Kyubey was my Nanako find today)

[crude abyss]

Props up to @prime bolt and @torpid citrus great guys to hangout woth

[minor hearth]

wow even on a monday night there’s a line at atom

[mild plume]

what was wrong with Yokosuka? im gonna do a day there to Shenmue-sperience it up

[glass mountain]

Here's mine. They looked so sad being hung upside down so I had to rescue them.

[woven lily]

Mannnnnnn!! I tired to win those

I could t

Couldn’t

I won 3 pochitas tho

Was that in shinjuku?

[glass mountain]

Nah akiba in hey arcade

I'm not sure if I can fit everything in my suitcase. I leave tmoz late night

3 pochitas 😂

[woven lily]

Yea how the fuck are you gonna fit those bananas 😂😂😂

[glass mountain]

Did you win one then walk around to check the other prizes too? Or you already decided you want more pochitas 😤

I actually walked back to the machine a third time but thought nah what if I want something else

[torpid citrus]

Got to my place just fine, had an amazing time with you guys

[woven lily]

I figured out how to win one for like 500 yen

So I won one for me one for her and then gave the third away

😂

[slate cliff]

It's not Yokosuka itself, but you know, there's that one other country that's over there

[undone oasis]

returning back home tonight 🙂

its been a hell of 10 days

im satisfied with the things ive seen

will visit again for sureeee

[undone oasis]

😂 😂 😂 😂

[prime bolt]

I was just about to check and see if you made it back! Tonight was fun!

[cyan gyro]

Plugging for another day

https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1241742126874759348

[hexed mango]

Hi guys, I'm headed to usj tomorrow if anyone is down to tag along? I'm 25M from Aus 🙂

[slate cliff]

I thought I'd ask again if anyone wants to go to the climbing gym today, we're a group of 2 right now. Has both ropes and bouldering, experience not necessary but if you do have let me know. It's here: https://pump-climbing.com/gym/pump2/

[half pollen]

Would have been up for this but heading to Kamakura (though just had such a stress at the station - every time I try to leave Tokyo I seem to screw up rail tickets, I don't know how I ever managed the trip I did last time)

[slate cliff]

Well, Kawasaki is inbetween the two

[half pollen]

Lol true

I don't think I'm dressed for bouldering though

[slate cliff]

Oh I've seen it all. In New York, we occasionally get Hassidic people in the gym

[half pollen]

Wow, I feel like in the bouldering gyms in Birmingham it has always just been the standard leggings and tee

[slate cliff]

On average yea, but over the years I've seen people climb in pretty much anything

[half pollen]

What time are you hitting the gym?

[slate cliff]

1 at the earliest, but that's kind of tentative for now. And we'll be there until I don't know when

[half pollen]

Ah if it was a late afternoon/evening thing I would have tried hitting it on the way back, but I feel like that's going to be right in the middle of sight seeing. Up for grabbing food on my way back though? Could be Harajuku or could stop off in Kawasaki?

[slate cliff]

That could work too, I'd say Harajuku or around there is the best idea and I'll just update you if that changes

I also can't decide if I should get a haircut today or tomorrow

[half pollen]

I mean, what else are you doing between now and climbing? Might as well get a haircut

[slate cliff]

Mostly just doing work, but nothing is urgent

[half pollen]

That sounds like a haircut day

[slate cliff]

Haha thanks, we'll see if I manage to get to it

[slate cliff]

It's tempting to bring my rope to the gym, but I feel like the chances of me finding a random belayer are small

[half pollen]

Damn, seeing all the surfers out today is making me want to get in the sea

[forest shard]

Do some of yall live here in Japan? Or just visit frequently

[half pollen]

People with the single flag next to their name live in Japan

[forest shard]

Ahhhh

Thanks!

[pine saddle]

Do you guys have recommendations of things to do near teamlab planets (I think it would be odaiba)?

[cursive sparrow]

Anyone in Akihabara right now ? I missed my tour and I got 2 and half hours to kill til my rescheduled one

[fervent wolf]

Goto joyopolis

It's an indoor theme park

[glass mountain]

@woven lily

Just walked past this. It's tempting

Probably 300 yen is enough

[woven lily]

I hate those ones

That’s the pochita though! I think

Mine was just a bar and you knocked pochita off by using his handle

[mellow wave]

Any1 in sapporo?

[mild plume]

Ah shit bouldering? I'd have been down. How was it? I don't arrive until 5pm back in Asakusa today

[slate cliff]

We're still on our way there. I will be going again regardless

[mild plume]

Bet I'll join the next time

[slate cliff]

Yea sure I'll keep saying something when I go

[bold moss]

Ask in #attractions

[carmine blade]

thanks for the reco, will check it out

that menu looks crazy

[fervent wolf]

I'm flying in today! Would be down to get dinner tonight? I'm staying near susukino

[lapis viper]

Anybody want to tag along in shimo kitazawa ?

[worldly hound]

Nightclub recs in Osaka ?

[slate cliff]

@mild plume Gym is amazing by the way:

[shy grail]

I would offer to come but I'm still in Kyoto

I love bouldering and wanted to see if I could try out a gym in Tokyo before I left

[dire rivet]

Anything happening in Osaka?

First full day here thinking of going to Tenma later

[shy grail]

Top rope climbing would be lit as well

[cyan gyro]

Back to tokyo today for 10 days 🤩 kyushu was a blast but excited to drink with peeps

[neon smelt]

Giraffe?

[cyan gyro]

Im bouta board my flight @neon smelt but will plan in a few hours

[neon smelt]

Safe flight!!

[slate cliff]

There's actually a great gym in Kyoto but not in the city. There's so many rope routes I want to do here though

[mild plume]

That looks awesome.

[slate cliff]

It's so good

[mild plume]

What's the place called? I wanna look it up some

[slate cliff]

It's Pump2 Kawasaki https://pump-climbing.com/gym/pump2/

[rich pike]

thinkin bout hitting up ramen nagi tonight in golden gai dm me or msg with an @ if anyone wants to join I've heard good things

https://tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1304/A130401/13054766/

[neon smelt]

Enjoy and post trip report

[wispy aspen]

Interesting, I had this in the states. It's really good there at least, one of the top ramen places in the area... Always has a line out the door

[sleek hinge]

Who’s in Osaka now? I’m on my way there

[half pollen]

Just leaving Kamakura now, so realistically be in Harajuku about 7ish. @slate cliff still fancy grabbing food and chatting old people stuff?
Oooooh, just remembered that HJ IKEA has the 50¥ vegan ice cream too 😁

[crude abyss]

Went to Gala yesterday, was mid

[whole totem]

Is anyone going out to shinjuku tonight?

[rich pike]

i might b there what's your plans for dinner?

also any one day tripping to fuji-kawaguchiko this week? current forecast says tmr and thur might be good to see it

[whole totem]

No plans yet, was going to head out around 730 and see what I find

[worldly hound]

Weekday is why you think ?

[dire rivet]

Me

[worldly hound]

Me

[sleek hinge]

I need to grab food you up?

[worldly hound]

I’m gonna collapse fucking hell

[rich pike]

for sure bro mind if i dm you?

[whole totem]

no doubt man

[mild plume]

Just landed back in Asakusa. Gonna go find me some dinner in a bit if anyone is nearby.

[half pollen]

Nice going, it is mad how much walking you end up doing isn't it?! I was looking at previous weeks and my usual average is between 6-12000 per day, 15000 at the weekend when I do longer walks with the dog.

[dire rivet]

I'm eating right now but down to go out for some drinks after

[sleek hinge]

Ok sure 👍 I’ve got a food place I want to go to so I’m heading there now

[slate cliff]

We're leaving here shortly, so that probably works

Maybe 730

[mild plume]

@half pollen oh you're still in Tokyo!? Not sure why I thought you'd left already. Mind if I join y'all? I haven't checked out Harajuku this time round yet

[slate cliff]

Sure

[half pollen]

Sounds good! And looks like I'll be hitting Shinjuku station at 7:30 so Harajuku a little afterwards anyway.

[prime bolt]

I didn't have "get a tattoo hungover" on my checklist this trip, but alas... 😩

[half pollen]

Haha hungover tattoos are the worst

Looking good though!

[dire rivet]

Hey I sent you a DM

[prime bolt]

Thank you!

[crude abyss]

How tf do you hit these numbers, I hit almost 20k today and I am dead on ny feet

[half pollen]

Erm, the constant terror of missing out? That and completely ignoring how sore my feet are.

[mild plume]

Oh man I ended up accidentally doing a insane hike up a mountain at mt aso because of fomo and it was waaaay longer than I thought. Fomo is an intense motivator.

[mild plume]

Ok I'll aim for 730 anyway, gonna hit my dormy inn onsen real quick

[half pollen]

Yeeeeah, I occasionally have to have a talk with myself about what my actual goal is "you will still get to see the lake from the bus, you do not need to walk that extra 5km"

I did actually buy some feet cooling pads from Donki or somewhere and those have been nice occasionally. The onsen at the hotel in Nikko helped.

[prime bolt]

Nah, I'm just like you. I don't drive, so I'm very comfortable walking. Especially in Japan, I feel like it's the best way to discover things, side streets, shenanigans, etc

[half pollen]

I definitely think that's true, but sometimes I have to stop and think "would I rather have the extra hour at my destination instead?" - depends on the activity. Today was a walking day though, great way to see Kamakura! Was actually surprised, given that the loop I did is literally on Japan Guide, as soon as you got away from the main temples and on to the hiking trail, everyone disappeared. Maybe saw 10 people total?

[slate cliff]

We could just meet at Shinjuku station and walk down

Cause I'll be there about then too

[half pollen]

Sounds like a plan!

[ember knoll]

Shogun burger recommended? 🤔

[upper loom]

Hello Guys, i am currently in Tokyo until the 28th. Anyone around?

[opal flume]

✋

Anyone going to Tokyo Tower tonight?

[half pollen]

#food will probably be able to answer and give you some decent recommendations if not

[slate cliff]

We are pretty close to Shinjuku so just tell me where to meet you

[fervent wolf]

if anyone is in sapporo this week

Im going to this on saturday night

https://partysapporo.a4jp.com/

[ember knoll]

We’re heading now to Shibuya crossing. Shogun burger wasn’t for us

Funny we’re close

[half pollen]

I'm on the Odakyu line, still 10-15 minutes away, is it simple enough to meet at the Odakyu gates? Black shorts, Pikachu tattoo on my leg.

[slate cliff]

Yea that's fine, can you make it the south Odakyu gate?

[half pollen]

Sure thing

Was just thinking at least that narrows it down a little, Shinjuku station is a maze!

[slate cliff]

Yea it's the side we want anyway. Just make sure to go out the proper gate, not the one that's only jr transfers

And if you didn't hear before, white, light blue shirt and two bags

[mild plume]

I'll head straight to Harajuku station as that's closer for me

Assuming that's where y'all still wanna go

[slate cliff]

Yea we're gonna go that way

[half pollen]

はい！ 🫡

[slate cliff]

I'm at the gate

[gaunt heart]

meeting up in shibuya?

[mild plume]

Want me to meet ya guys anywhere specific?

[half pollen]

We can meet you at the station, probably easiest

[mild plume]

Which one? I'm getting off at omote-sando then walking 10mins to Harajuku according to gmaps

[cyan gyro]

Akihabara frozen mango beers time

[half pollen]

Chicken skin is 🔥

[jovial musk]

[woven lily]

Toriki is a cheap chain with a. Tablet (which u can Change to English)everything is 350 yen try a mega lemon sour. It’s a fire pregame spot

Walk in and say hitori desu

[jovial musk]

sadly my phone battery is about to die, have to go recharge somehow doubt today will be the day for me

[wispy aspen]

[worldly hound]

[cyan gyro]

Well were sent

[jovial musk]

anyone still out in Shibuya? i can’t sleep

[woven lily]

Is ur phone charger?

Charged

Go make friends with Japaneses drinkers

[jovial musk]

yeppers

but i’m not hungry 😅

[woven lily]

You don’t need food

Just booze in your belly!

[jovial musk]

can you just drink there?

[stuck gale]

Where?

[woven lily]

Toriki!!! Of course!

I go and drink alone in toriki all the time

I told you! Say “hitori desu” and put one finger up

Easy as pie

You literally order from a tablet! It’s so easy you can do it

[jovial musk]

bur you can’t smoke there right?

[woven lily]

No! You can’t lol

Do u want a smoking Izakaya?

[jovial musk]

dammit

yep

[woven lily]

Ur in Shibuya right ?

[jovial musk]

yea to that as well

[woven lily]

Can you speak any Japanese ?

[stuck gale]

Basically any Izakaya you should be able to smoke at

[woven lily]

Well no

[jovial musk]

absolutely fucking not but willing to cripple my way through

[woven lily]

All izakayas usually allow iqos

Smoking smoking is different

[stuck gale]

you'll be able to smell smoke coming from the izakaya as a double check to be sure

[woven lily]

I haven’t seen anyone ripping cigs tbh

[stuck gale]

seen it

[woven lily]

It’s what 11:42 in Shibuya? I’m sure lots of places are slammed

Literally just go through yourself into a random izakaya best thing you can do

[stuck gale]

it's definitely findable

[woven lily]

Yes for sure

I just don’t smoke so I can’t offer guidance

[jovial musk]

i’m sitting at a quiet park

[stuck gale]

you can also just ask if you can smoke there too, you know, before you go in @jovial musk

[jovial musk]

😅 with some of that apple-gum-water they praise having percentage

shibuya seems to be strict af

[woven lily]

It is and it isn’t

The locals just smoke wherever but there are guys in vests that go around telling you to stop lol

[jovial musk]

fair yeah, it’s literally my first day here and i’ve seen people be fined and others smoking just well

[jovial musk]

depends on the colours of vests if it’s fun or not

[woven lily]

Yes 😂

[jovial musk]

by now it’s ridiculous btw

[woven lily]

Can you just go try a toriki!

You can’t smoke but god forbid you don’t smoke for 30 mins you fiend

[jovial musk]

it‘s 500 meters

[bold moss]

Little bit of healthy movement to reach your unhealthy activity

[jovial musk]

fine then

[stuck gale]

what is that? like a 5 minute walk? 😂

[woven lily]

Right? 😂

[jovial musk]

i don’t think i’m very welcome

[woven lily]

That is not torikizoku

Where tf did you go 😂

[jovial musk]

maps told me to go there

it was the pinged

they carry fucking chicken sashimi

[cyan gyro]

God im fucked

[jovial musk]

they’re also rude af

reminder that this is my neighbour

[woven lily]

Yea why did u go there

they gonna be rude af

leave and go to toriki

where tf did u even go

[jovial musk]

why are they so rude? i wanted to be a friendly customer

[stuck gale]

@jovial musk where are you from?

[woven lily]

[jovial musk]

[jovial musk]

y’all make rough choices or are tame af

[hasty canyon]

Hey yall! I’m (26M) gonna be in Tokyo from the 22nd to the 29th. I don’t have much of an itinerary and I’m down for pretty much anything, so if anyone wants to hang out, grab drinks, etc let me know!

[jovial musk]

i gave the 3rdaway to the guy next booth for recommending me and he almost died on his noodles

[jovial musk]

welcome in then people with no plan are just fine i suppose

ahhh you fuckers made me go to one of those insta places

i only caught up when i did a mirror check

no wonder chef is so baffled about me just drinking

[woven lily]

Good job!!!!

Insta places ?

Wdym

I go to toriki and only drink all the time it’s common

[jovial musk]

yeah fuck you right back 😂

[woven lily]

What?!!!

[jovial musk]

i don’t want half arsed photos i want food or drink memories 😅

[woven lily]

I told you to just go there and order one drink and experience torikis excellence

[jovial musk]

this is insanely mediocre at best

[woven lily]

Why are u hating on my goat toriki

Must be dead then

[jovial musk]

i don’t

it’s fine

[woven lily]

Now you got a nice buzz you can go to a real Kaya

Izakaya

Toriki is used for fuel nothing else

[orchid granite]

Lil bro is just reading the lyrics 💀

[jovial musk]

but it’s not particularly good

[woven lily]

The chicken skin is fire

It’s so cheap fast and convenient that’s the point of toriki

[jovial musk]

i asked for one from the beginning

all i got was

[woven lily]

Did you use the tablet?

How did you fuck that up

[jovial musk]

yeah and i gifted the 3rd one to a loner

[fleet fiber]

[woven lily]

Shinjuku station.

[long elbow]

👍 I'll head over there later

[dusty heart]

At USJ right now
I was so confused about the Super Nintendo times entry ticket stuff

[onyx atlas]

It’s built in on iPhone if you have one

[woven lily]

I’d assume they already know that and want a physical oneeeee

[lime loom]

Lmk how it is. Kinda want to go just for the Mario kart ride

I think it’s different than the Hollywood one

Nvm it’s the same lol

[dusty heart]

Ah okay, it’s super busy for a weekday? The Mario kart ride is clocking in at a 110 min wait time 🫠

[long elbow]

Ty, I got it

[fading forum]

Which JR east station?

[woven lily]

There we go!

I knew it was there

What did they say? anything noteable?

U just asked for a suica?

[long elbow]

The one near the cat billboard

https://maps.app.goo.gl/JvNyvFNYw3cazRK69

Yeah I just asked for a suica and paid 2000. 500 for the card and 1500 loaded

[fading forum]

Ah okay Shinjuku

I'll pick one up in Shibuya since I have to head there on Wed anyways

[woven lily]

Shibuya? Or shinjuku

[fading forum]

He got his in Shinjuku, but I'll get one in Shibuya when I go there

[woven lily]

Yea I know lol i told him to go to shinjuku

Shibuya has them confirmed?

[fading forum]

Not sure, I'll check

[loud rose]

When I got my JR pass at Tokyo station yesterday, someone in front of me got a Suica there

It was at the JR Travel Center at the Marunouchi (?) exit

[wispy aspen]

Can you not get them from the machines anymore? I got my IC card from one, though it was a Kitaca up in Hokkaido

[knotty sparrow]

The problem of ic card only for suica for all the others you can still get them from the machine
Afaik Suica is now obtainable from a lot of stations in Tokyo

[final kiln]

Anyone interested in a baseball game in Tokyo May 28th? The Swallows

[lime loom]

That sounds fun, how much are the tickets ?

[lapis viper]

I was yesterday and it was about 2000 yen

[lime loom]

Not bad at all. I wish the giants games weren’t sold out

[forest shard]

Anyone in Osaka today?

[cyan gyro]

[heavy verge]

I’m up in Shin Osaka bar hopping

[sharp monolith]

I need to buy clothes lol

[heavy verge]

I found dotonbori a bit too busy for my liking (too many people). Bar Hedonist is really nice down there though. The bartenders cool (max). You can mention my name and he’ll open up a bit

[sleek hinge]

I’ll be in shin osaka like 15分

[heavy verge]

When do you get here?

[heavy verge]

Ping me once you drop your bags! Just bar hopping here

[sleek hinge]

[heavy verge]

I’m around. The Nishinakajima -Minamigata station just south

[sharp monolith]

Which area are you by?

I’m by the Osaka government building area

[heavy verge]

Shin Osaka (nishinakajima-minamigata station to be specific). I’d be down for the Dotonbori later in the evening after bars open (8pm)

Are you by the Castle then @sharp monolith ?

[forest shard]

I’m staying right next to dontonbori, in the shinsaibashi shopping area. Im down to get some drinks later

[sharp monolith]

Yeah I’m pretty close to the castle

And a shrine too

[austere jackal]

Arriving in Osaka in a few hours

[signal mason]

[wispy aspen]

Sorry meant to reply to this

[heavy verge]

Heading to Dotonbori now

[mint haven]

Last three days in Tokyo start tomorrow. I'm going to be around Shinjuku so if anyone wants to hang out let me know! I desperately need to check off drunk karaoke from my Japan trip bingo card. 😉

[slate cliff]

@mint haven I don't know about that specifically but I'm in the area and I'd do something tomorrow

[austere jackal]

I might join Osaka people today too

I'm like 2 mins away from Dotonbori apparently

[mint haven]

Okay, I'll be in Tokyo probably around noon

[opal flume]

Same here, moving to Kyoto on 24th

[mint haven]

During the day I was just going to explore Shinjuku/Shibuya because I hadn't done that. Then at night probably check out golden gai

[tight ivy]

Anyone in kishiwada

[slate cliff]

I went on a quick trip to get food and somehow ended up at a Saizeriya in the ass end of Shinjuku

[mint haven]

Did you try the ketchup pasta

[heavy verge]

Any spots in mind?

[opal flume]

I did, that’s a total disaster

[slate cliff]

Isn't all Tomato sauce Ketchup? If I get pasta here it's always the Pepperoncino

[mint haven]

Not... really? Ketchup is a tomato based sauce but not all tomato based sauces are ketchup.

[opal flume]

The pork chops they used is just like a square and too many fat

Anyone at the bar yet?

[wispy aspen]

Hey folks who are meeting up at SOAK: I got stuck at ikebukuro station 😩 I dunno when I'll be able to get to shibuya

[mint haven]

Any groups in Tokyo doing stuff tonight? I just got to my hotel in Shinjuku

[slate cliff]

I was actually thinking about doing something tonight in Shinjuku

[mint haven]

Heck yeah, have anything in mind?

I default to karaoke but that's only because I haven't done it here yet. Need a bit of a larger group though

[slate cliff]

It's ok I don't sing anyway. But I'm open to most other things. Last time we literally just went to Hub

[mint haven]

I'm down for that tonight if you're okay with a repeat. I went to the hub in Ueno at the start of my trip and it was a good atmosphere.

[slate cliff]

Sure I don't mind. We can always go other places from there anyway

https://maps.app.goo.gl/3vo7QSMCokFkF3b4A This is the good one

[mint haven]

Gotcha. Maybe have a gathering around 5 or 6 since they open up at 5?

[slate cliff]

That's fine with me

If I recall they have some pretty decent happy hour specials

[mint haven]

I have a weird obsession with visiting Don Quijote wherever I go so I'm gonna go make a pilgrimage to the one across the street. 😅

Alright, gathering at the hub around 5 it is!

[dire rivet]

Anyone wanna join tomorrow? Club Circus in Osaka

[prime bolt]

You guys have room for one more?

For the Shinjuku Hub people^

[mint haven]

Sure!

[slate cliff]

Yea feel free

I'm waiting for yet another attempt at a delivery so I'll be there once I get it

[mellow wave]

Any1 in sapparo by any chance?

[onyx atlas]

What about another one for hub?

I’d be late tho

[mint haven]

Sure! I think that puts hub up to four people

[upper loom]

If we wanna have a drink WE could Go to Golden Gai in Shinjuku. Afterwards Just stroll around or something

[slate cliff]

It's okay, I'm waiting for my thing anyway so we'll both be fashionably late

[left coral]

When u thinkin you're up to meet in taito? Could be fun to go down to akihabara after too

[cyan gyro]

Im grabbing an early dinner and doing some akiba deep diving, if yall hit up akiba after taito I might still be out to hang

[left coral]

I could be down for early dinner and hitting akihabara, when're u thinking? Kinda just relaxing rn so open to whatevs

[mint haven]

Headed over to the hub now

Alright, I am here

[prime bolt]

I’m gonna be a bit - just got to my hotel, about to jump in the shower. I’ll be closer to 6

[mint haven]

Ah, let's just call it 6 then. Since the other two were going to be a bit late as well.

If everyone's okay with that

[slate cliff]

Yea that works for me

[fleet fiber]

Underground party today at Asagaya Drift

[onyx atlas]

@opal flume @signal mason @compact orchid @chrome galleon @devout dust actually we could Go to the Odaiba Seaside. I read an article that is is very relaxed and stunning at Night. Maybe better than drinking.
