June 2024

[arctic cosmos]

Someone here? 😄

[old spear]

Haha... I mean as we get closer to June, this thread should become more and more active.

(Someone has already made a thread for September I think. 😂)

[arctic cosmos]

Haha, i will keep an eye out!

[hybrid saddle]

👀

[arctic cosmos]

There are some eyes already 😛

[hybrid saddle]

For sure for sure. Late June

[old spear]

Nice! 👍

Just a heads up, generally speaking, most of the action from these Monthly meetup threads (unsurprisingly) takes place in Tokyo.

That said, I will likely be pretty far from the action during this month.

I mainly made this thread because I saw June was creeping up, no one had made a thread yet, while people were already posting threads for like September and November.

[hybrid saddle]

Sounds good im going June22nd-July2nd or 3rd and spending about half that time in tokyo

[arctic cosmos]

I will be starting in Osaka at the 31th of May. Tokio is planned for the 14th June and following days

[sullen epoch]

Ill be in Japan from 15th May to 15th June, spending the last 10 days in Tokyo.

[pastel shard]

June 15-July 15 I'm staying in Yokohama

[vocal otter]

6th of June to 23rd

[old spear]

Here is a link to a Google Sheet where you can add information about your trip to Japan (that I copied over from the Nov 2023 Meetup Thread).

(I have seen other people in other threads state that having this sheet as a resource was useful.)

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1nNrzk-ePVHWBLYtihSN9MPLsOVuLqbJTn-xJvUZRLpc/edit?usp=sharing

[pastel shard]

as always love u bro

[old spear]

I just edited the rights to the document (I didn't realized that it was set to "viewer" - すみません！)

[feral glacier]

Just booked my tickets last night june 8 - 23. Very excited!

[prime tapir]

June 1st -28th

[arctic cosmos]

May 30th until June 21th!

[sullen epoch]

lets find a spot to organize a bar crawl, preferrably Osaka or Tokyo

[errant copper]

Will be in Japan all of June! Unsure which areas yet but likely Tokyo for at least the first half of June

[sinful river]

Hey! I'll be there starting the 14th of June 👋

[fickle coral]

Hey there. Will be in Japan from 5th June to16th June

[narrow zephyr]

Sup y’all

[brave nymph]

Hiii

[old spear]

Lol. The May thread went off recently, but here it's still...

https://tenor.com/view/night-crickets-chirping-silent-gif-5280277

[sullen epoch]

Its to early

Im split in both for the same amount of time 😄

[hybrid saddle]

Yeah I expect next month or two when people can finally start getting tickets for things it'll get alittle more alive in this chat

[sullen epoch]

Ill spend the majority of my June part in Tokyo

so probably seeing more people just when they arrive. Starting with Osaka in May, traveling west than back east

[old spear]

Dude, I wonder how hot it's gonna be in Tokyo at that time...

that said, if the weather in this part of the world is any indication (which maybe there isn't any correlation), maybe it won't be so bad this summer in Japan.

at least you won't be there in July or August... or will you?

[sullen epoch]

Nah, I am there 15th may to 15th June, so it should still be under 30 degree celsius and the rain season will not fully hit when I leave

[old spear]

Wait, it's pretty hot - climate-wise - from where you're from tho, right?

[sullen epoch]

Bosnia

I am used to hot summers 🙂

[old spear]

Yeah, we got different standards, G

I'm from the NE part of the US

it's COOOLD here RN

[sullen epoch]

its 70 farenheit here right now

and its not even really spring, we just had snow a couple days ago... March and April are always crazy here

[old spear]

That's nuts

[maiden bloom]

June 20-26th Osaka and 26-July 1 Tokyo. Not sure what all I am doing yet but I'm usually up for things like cultural activities and museums or nerdy shit! I know I'm a rarity as mostly people just want to go drink, but if anybody wants company for the boring things I like, I'll be there! 🤣

[old spear]

Not as rare as you might think. I bet you’ll be able to find people on here to do "boring" stuff with. 🙂

[hybrid saddle]

Damn almost exact oppisite schedules lol

[slender scroll]

Anyone local from NYC going to Japan in June?

[old spear]

Why R U asking about NYC people specifically?

[slender scroll]

Would figure I'd like to meet up with them locally if possible and plan some of the trip together.

[old spear]

I see

[arctic cosmos]

Someone else hyped already?

[old spear]

lol

You're leaving in about 2 months, right?

Already psyched?

[arctic cosmos]

Kinda 😄

[old spear]

That's great, man! 🙂

R U gonna have a really specific itinerary for your trip?

(BTW, I read what U wrote in the spreadsheet... and you won't have any trouble finding people drink with while in Tokyo if you use this thread.)

[hybrid saddle]

Of course

[brisk orbit]

If anyone wants to join me on a trip to Hakone the beginning of June DM ME!

[arctic cosmos]

yea, first Osaka - Kyoto - Kinosakionsen - Kanazawa - Takayama - Tokyo - Osaka Yours?

[old spear]

I'm basically going to be in Hokkaido the entire time

Fellow travelers in this thread, in the future, if any people in this thread ask why the "original message was deleted" - share my tale... let them know the injustices that have occurred here!

[hybrid saddle]

Or we could just make up a new fake reason for every person that asks. That sounds way funnier

[novel mulch]

Hey I'll be in Japan with my partner from 10th to 28th June, im new to this server, would like meet like minded folk 👌

[hybrid saddle]

Any of the frequent visitors got some must do recommendations?

[grand kestrel]

That really really depends on what you want to do.

Most people want to see the tourist sights, eat good food, and do shopping. Do you have any specific activity you wish to do? Also where will you be?

Can't recommend you a place in Fukuoka if you aren't going to Kyushu.

[hybrid saddle]

The main places ill be is Tokyo near shibuya and Shinjuku of course. And ill be in Dotonbori, Osaka. Also I like a lot of things but lets go with some sights seeing.

[feral glacier]

8 more weeks till my trip so hyped

[hybrid saddle]

Yeah i've been way too hyped for still having 10ish weeks left

[maiden bloom]

Oh god that made me just count I only have 10 weeks too I have...a lot to do. Yikes

[hybrid saddle]

Don't worry same here

[maiden bloom]

I have lodging taken care of and otherwise I've just been dropping money on my suica. Perhaps I've gone too many times now. I'm getting a bit too comfortable with this whole last minute make it up as I go thing. 🤣

[hybrid saddle]

Making everything up my is specialty.

[pastel shard]

You go enough times and you eventually let the planning happen once you’re there

[hybrid saddle]

Thats for sure the dream

[feral glacier]

I've just booked my shinkansen tickets and bought traveler's insurance. Is it too early to try making reservations at restaurants?

[prime tapir]

send it, see what happens, what restaurants you thinking of? got any good recommendations?

[arctic cosmos]

Would love some high class recommendations for restaurants in Osaka/Kyoto/Tokyo also!

Perhaps the ones that you dont have to book via hotel

[lime linden]

high class and not having to book is rather contradictory

[grand kestrel]

Most restaurants that are high end will require reservations in those cities

Also specify what kind of food you'd like to eat and your budget.

[prime tapir]

Any high class recommendations In Hamamatsu?

This chat rn

[old spear]

we're still 2 months out

with any luck, this thread will "pop off" as they say NEXT month...
... similarly to how May has this month.

[grand kestrel]

I'll be there for the entire month of June

You are welcome to come join me for this - https://sakaespring.com/

Foreigners can not buy tickets beforehand, but I've confirmed with the organizers that you can purchase tickets on the day of in person

[old spear]

SOOO. MANY. ARTISTS.

I'd probably go with you...
... but I'll be in Hokkaido.

[grand kestrel]

Come damn you

[grand kestrel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a53j0gumejY

Will be performing and she's insanely fun

[old spear]

I mean I guess I could fly from Hokkaido to Nagoya or just somewhere in Kansai JUST for the festival...

検討します... j/k.
let me think about it (fr)

[old spear]

@grand kestrel I just watched some videos from previous years from this event on YouTube. Looks pretty nuts.

[grand kestrel]

Its not a festival in the sense there's one enormous stage outside with tons and tons of people flooding in

There's 12 venues I think spread around the Sakae station area

[old spear]

right

[grand kestrel]

They will release a schedule showing who is playing when and where.

[old spear]

I mean... honestly, the format seems pretty amazing

but how do they prevent just random people that don't have tickets from walking up next to the stage area to listen?

[grand kestrel]

The performances are inside venues

Like basement bar type locales

So you have to enter the building in order to see the performances

[old spear]

yeah, alot of them are...

[grand kestrel]

Oh are some outdoors?

That I couldn't tell you

[old spear]

yeah

[grand kestrel]

I guess tents?

[old spear]

they're just like out on the street

[grand kestrel]

The only artists I have to see are

アマイワナ (Amaiwana)
ハク。(Haku)
omeme tenten
Laura day romance
Czecho No Republic
illiomote

The rest are optional

[old spear]

regardless... inside buildings... all around Sakae station. Very interesting format. Pretty cool.

[grand kestrel]

I'm looking at hotels right now

[old spear]

Definitely not like any music festival I've ever been to

[grand kestrel]

I'll probably get there 5/31 Friday night

I went to a similar format in Kobe

for the Kobe Rock and Roll Festival back in Jan

[old spear]

I'm still not sure I'm gonna go 😅

[grand kestrel]

No worries. I'm going regardless

I just wanted more foreigners to come becasue the organizers are interested in seeing if foreigners attend

Plus supporting local festivals and local groups is always a major win

[old spear]

Well, I know you like JP live music, so I'm very confident you will have a great time

[grand kestrel]

Oh I totally will

[old spear]

lol, how will they know I'm a foreigner tho?

[grand kestrel]

Because you won't be able to buy a ticket beforehand

You'll have to line up and buy it in person like I will

[old spear]

I could buy a ticket once I get to Japan in May

in like 2 weeks

[grand kestrel]

Oh will you have a JPN phone number?

[old spear]

possibly

[grand kestrel]

Interesting

[old spear]

I also have a relative in Tokyo RN

[grand kestrel]

ah

[old spear]

I could probably route it through them

BUUUUUUT...

I'm probably not gonna go lol

[gilded belfry]

big shame about the music festival, i get in on the 2nd

but in other news i’ll be in from june 2 to the 16! planning on tokyo four days, hakone one day, kyoto 4 days, osaka 3 days and my last 3 days back in tokyo

[feral glacier]

That looks like a blast but I won't be getting in till June 8th bummer

[old spear]

Based on these last two comments…
@grand kestrel , if you post about ‘Sakae Sp-ring’ in https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1192379236527374378 I bet you’ll find some people that might go!

[hybrid saddle]

Any of yall know some good car meet spots near tokyo? I would love to go look at some nice cars if possible

[narrow flicker]

Others might be able to confirm this but I read that there’s a car meet up near shibuya crossing late at night on the first Saturday of each month, starting at Yoyogi park street

[narrow flicker]

I might go check it out on the 1st

[old spear]

"Have you ever been to Carcosa???" 😨

[narrow flicker]

Yup that’s where I got the name from. Amazing season/tv show

[old spear]

My FAVORITE season of TV… probably ever.

[narrow flicker]

I watch a lot of tv shows so it’s hard to say what my fav is but it’s up there

[old spear]

I’m open to recommendations. 🙂

[narrow flicker]

fargo season 1, severance, westworld s1, succession, chernobyl

[old spear]

I think I’m all caught up on Fargo except for the newest season. Stopped watching Westworld after S3 or S4, SUPER excited for Severance season 2, haven’t seen the others.

[narrow flicker]

yeah westworld fell off after the first 2 seasons, I just kept watching to see what happens. Dark is amazing as well, but it's in German if you dont mind reading subtitles

[old spear]

FR about Westworld - seasons 1 & 2 were GREAT tho!

S—-… I actually don’t have Netflix RN… but I’ll add Dark back to my watchlist regardless. Known about it for some time, just never have it a shot.

[sullen epoch]

Im in Tokyo 5th to 15th june, open for drink, food and company

[maiden bloom]

Finally booked my flight woooooooo

My Tokyo dates are looking packed (all my friends live in Tokyo 🤣) but my Osaka dates are an absolute wasteland. I'll be around that area June 21-26. Might daytrip Kyoto or something also. I do so love me a good Fushimi Inari night hike.

[dense galleon]

hey guys ill be happy for a meetup on june

[old spear]

Did U put your dates in the spreadsheet yet?

[dense galleon]

no (?)

what do you mean by that lol

[old spear]

Here: #1208376317792485446 message

[dense galleon]

did it update?

[old spear]

looks like it

👍

[gilded belfry]

hey yall! i just filled out my info on the spreadsheet. im super excited!

[hybrid saddle]

man im way too excited for still having like 2 months

[feral glacier]

I'm t-minus 6 weeks away and I'm hyped too. May is gonna go by so slow.

[hybrid saddle]

8 weeks here. Even more excited though cause I finally convinced a friend of mine to come with me

[dense galleon]

thank yourself that you dont have a math test for the university just 2 weeks before your flight like i do :/

[hybrid saddle]

Something to occupy your brain till the trip though.

[feral glacier]

thankfully I'm way out of school

[prime tapir]

only 5 more weeks for me then ill be in Japan!

[dense galleon]

im not in school thats what makes it worse, its like a course for the academic degree

[dense galleon]

only thing occupying my brain is the big F im gonna get even tho im studying my ass XD

[old spear]

What's the class?

[old spear]

Someone posted this in the https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1200671562970452098 thread... I figured it would make sense to put it here since it's in June:

https://deadpopfest.com/

[hybrid saddle]

Ayo sick

[dense galleon]

math

[old spear]

What we talking here? Calc 2? Diff Eq? 😅

[maiden bloom]

Is it silly to get off the plane, go directly to Yokohama and to the Ramen Museum? Yes. Am I still going to do it? Absolutely! (Yes I know it's lame, no I don't care.)

[grand kestrel]

Nope, just make sure you get your luggage squared away

[maiden bloom]

Oh yeah that's going to the hotel before I go. 🤣 Basically I'm landing in Tokyo but need to be in Osaka the following evening. Then I realized instead of staying in Tokyo (done it to death) or rushing to Osaka (exhausting) I could just go a bit out to a city I haven't been to and do something stupid and low-key for the evening and just take the train to Osaka in the AM. SO IT'S NOODLES TIME!!!!!

[grand kestrel]

Sounds like a fun plan

[dense galleon]

vektors, math induction, those graphs with equations you need to investigate, trigonometric math all kinds of diseases XD

[hybrid saddle]

Thank god I ain't gotta deal with that

[prime tapir]

That’s dirty as, I dropped math in year 10, I can’t do any of that shit

[feral glacier]

calc 2 and discrete math were enough for me thanks

[hybrid saddle]

I took the easier path of coding

[old spear]

Lol, me and you are opposites... I took the math path b/c I thought coding was too difficult

However, back then it never even occurred to me that AI and the internet could be such a useful resource for CS majors.

[old spear]

(If I had known what I know now, maybe I would have done CS 🤷🏻‍♂️)

[narrow flicker]

lol same I wish I did CS at uni

[hybrid saddle]

Eh CS majoring sucks. Espically working full time behind it

[gilded belfry]

cybersecurity on top ‼️

[hybrid saddle]

The courses are mid. But the pay for the job is wild

[old spear]

I'm anticipating that this thread will "pop off" within the next two weeks. 👀 😏

[hybrid saddle]

I hope itll pop off any day now

I don't suspect it to be way too busy though considering its June

[prime tapir]

I hope it does, gotta find some people for around the Fukushima/sendai area later in June, if anyone is around there let me know!

[feral glacier]

I briefly researched any festivals that might be happening during my visit but haven't found anything. Is June a quieter month than July/August?

[grand kestrel]

When are you coming in June?

For anyone here on June 1 and 2 and is willing to go to Nagoya

There's a major music festival - https://sakaespring.com/

[feral glacier]

june 8 - 24

[grand kestrel]

Ah okay you won't make it in time then

[feral glacier]

Yeah I saw that event higher up in the thread. It's too bad it looks like fun

[manic rock]

Sanno matsuri is happening in Tokyo from 7th-17th

[feral glacier]

I'll have to look that one up thanks for the suggestion

[manic rock]

I'm planning on going to it at some point, we could get a small group together probably

[dense galleon]

where i live you still need to to math to study software engeneering

[dense galleon]

shoot, me too but im staying till 27

anyone here whos gonna go party in tokyo?

[feral glacier]

https://www.tenkamatsuri.jp/index.html found this website for the festival

[hybrid saddle]

I still do but I dont have to do the actually hard math classes

[dense galleon]

is there anyone who plans his trip in tokyo osaka and kyoto?

[hybrid saddle]

Theres quite a few if you look at the sheet

[narrow flicker]

It’s a pretty common itinerary for people visiting Japan for the first time. Me included

[old spear]

I was gonna make jab earlier and say that no one has ever done that before lol

[hybrid saddle]

Same here but im going late in the month so 🤷‍♂️

[grand kestrel]

Yeah. Its called the golden route. Extremely common routing for tourists

[random isle]

I will be going to Japan from 27th of may until the 18th of june 😄 Osaka —> Kyoto —> Nagoya —> Takayama —> Tokyo

[brave nymph]

I’ll be in Tokyo too if you’d like to do something 🙆🙆

[abstract cobalt]

Will be in tokyo from 15th till 25th of June 👀

[vast dagger]

I will be in Japan from 8th of june to 23rd of june 💁‍♀️ Filled out details about my rough itinerary in the spreadsheet 🙂

[manic rock]

I have a similar itinerary and similar dates but almost in reverse 😅 but maybe we would be in Kyoto or Tokyo around the same dates?

I'll be in Kyoto 31st-3rd, and Tokyo 10th-15th

Hey everyone just added my info to the spreadsheet! Will be in Tokyo June 8 through at least mid-July 🌺

[dull palm]

Hi everyone, created a discord account just to join the Japan travel server. Will be in Japan for the first two weeks of June, have added my details to the spreadsheet. Travelling with a friend, also 27M from the UK, and it's our first time in Japan so looking to meet new people and hit up food spots + bars etc. Still working out how to use discord so apologies if slow replies haha

[old spear]

This thread not ‘poppin’ off’ as hard as I had anticipated. 😢

[prime tapir]

unfortunately not as many people. but still quite a few people to where it can be a nice get together if a handful of us are down!

[old spear]

I’m guessing this thread will blow up during June… bit probably less so than the previous 3 months did

[prime tapir]

i hope so!

[manic rock]

I think probably it will

Once people start actually arranging meetups and whatnot

[sinful river]

Love that short

[cinder raptor]

June being rainy season, it’s not a popular time to visit Japan

[old spear]

https://tenor.com/view/stukk-nodding-gif-19977521

[grand kestrel]

Yay, less people.

[bitter vapor]

Hey y'all! I'll be in Japan (mostly Tokyo) from May 28 - July 5. My info's in the sheet; would love to meet some new faces and get together for drinks, food, events, or just checkin stuff out.

And if anyone's interested in getting a group together for Disney Sea or Atami, I'm all in!

[cinder raptor]

or maybe not idk, this is 2019

However the majority of those tourists are from China and Korea, so the number of Western tourist may vary differently

Why is September so unpopular huh

[old spear]

Good question about September...
Last September it was still hot as b---s in Tokyo and Osaka. So I would understand why people would want to avoid coming if it's like that every year

November an underatted month to visit I think

[grand kestrel]

I'm assuming because a lot of kids are going back to school worldwide and people who took vacations during early to mid summer have no reason to go again in September

I for one am happy that Sept to November is so low because that's when I plan on coming back

[brave nymph]

Hii im interested 😊

[prime tapir]

Would love to catch up and get a group going!

[clear grove]

Hey guys !! i’m gonna be in japan from the 31st of may till the 20th of june (tokyo for first 6 days) and going solo! looking for people to drink, hangout or get food with or smth still haven’t completely planned everything but will add to the spreadsheet soon :))

Keen to try some thrifting this trip. Never have done before in Japan so don’t know anything. My dates are in the spreadsheet if anyone thinks that sounds cool.

[left carbon]

Hey all, regular Japan traveler here. I'll be back in Tokyo June 23rd (evening) until the 28th or 29th if anyone needs company for food, drink or shopping.

[quasi sundial]

DM’d!

35M solo from Los Angeles. Will be in Osaka from 6/1 - 6/3. I plan on checking out Kyoto and Nara during the daytime then nighttime in Osaka. Looking for ppl to explore with! Love food, bars, and exploring in general!

[novel mulch]

Has anyone had any experience using Wise in Japan ? I recently downloaded and converted some AUD to YEN link for app - https://wise.com/invite/ahpc/patricksebastianc1

It seems like the best way to buy Japanese currency I've already converted AUD $994.12 and received $103462 YEN I had multiple fees due to converting $250 4 times so only lost $5.88 in fees

[timber radish]

I’ve been looking into it. Apparently it’s very expensive and the only way to get a reservation is to message their IG account and then see if they respond

[hybrid saddle]

Hey. Me and a friend @snow swan (Both 21M) will be doing our first trip to Japan. From June 23rd-July4th. Got some activities plan but going pretty light. We'd love to go out for food and hanging out. Dm me if you wanna set up some plans

[prime tapir]

If anyone is interested in looking for watches whilst in Tokyo between the 18/19th till the 28th of June let me know!

[warm snow]

I like watches too

But idk if it’s worth doing a meetup lol

There’s an amazing shop in ginza, you should check it out

They have everything

[prime tapir]

Which one you thinking of? Been to a few in ginza

[warm snow]

I can’t remember the name

[lofty gazelle]

Hi guys I'll be in Japan with a friend from june 6th to july 2nd. First 2 weeks are going to be spent in Osaka/Kyoto and then we'll move to Tokyo the last weeks. If anyone wants to meet up just message me (we're 19 & 18 years old)

[maiden bloom]

holy crap I actually finally got the smart ex site to work with my card?

The 3d secure stuff was working for me at other sites but that one was just a solid NOPE forever. I tried again on a whim and it worked. That's cool, saved some for early booking and don't have to deal with it when I land now.

[fading iron]

Hi there, I’m (36M) going to be in Japan from May 28th- June 27th travelling all over. Will put my details in the spreadsheet soon. Interested in meeting up with people to sightsee or grab food/drinks in the evening and check out the nightlife.

[fluid lynx]

Hi all! I will be there from 9th June untill 3 weeks later!

Anything in this period that I must not miss?

[stoic nexus]

I'll be in Tokyo on 1st-2nd of June

[simple sparrow]

Me too! Do you have any plans to do?? My friend and I are looking for someone to hang out with!

Hello! Is there anyone who wants to hang out with me on 1st June!! 😜

[fringe trellis]

I’m heading out solo June 11-20. I’ve been to Japan a bunch but not in a while. Looking forward to seeing some old favorites in Tokyo and finding places to eat and stuff.

Last time made a big group of friends from Reddit - we had about a dozen folks going to Disneyland, night clubs, restaurants, temples, etc - and would love to do that again (though I’ll pass on night clubs this time, lol)

[fading iron]

I’ll be in Tokyo during that time as well

Was planning to go to Yokohama one of those days to check out the Chinatown and maybe the cup noodle or ramen museums.

[simple sparrow]

Sounds cool 😎

[simple sparrow]

Planning to go to Shinjuku and Harajuku on the day.

[dense galleon]

hey guys im going to be 10-12 of june in osaka , 13-16 in kyoto and 17-27 in tokyo if anyones trip is kinda close hit me up for a meetup

[fading iron]

[simple sparrow]

Okay! I haven’t thought about details of the plan in Shinjuku yet. Have you?

[scarlet zealot]

Yeah I'll be free for 1st of June 👋

My plan is at the above xD

We could do some other stuff during the day also

I'm just thinking of this place too https://www.teamlab.art/jp/e/tokyo/

[cinder raptor]

YES

SUPERFUZZ is SO GOOD

The best crowd too

[stoic nexus]

I'll see you there then! I'll contact you on the event day 👀

[simple sparrow]

This one looks impressive. I’d like to visit there.

[round nexus]

Hey guys! I will be traveling solo to Fukuoka from June 12 to 15 and Osaka from June 16 to 20. Anyone who'd like to go with me on those dates? My itinerary is very flexible and since it's my first time in Japan, I'm just mainly into trying anything that Japan has to offer. Message me if you'd like a travel buddy and perhaps we can explore Japan together! 🙂

[fading iron]

Ahh so close, I arrive in Fukuoka on June 16th.

[stoic nexus]

I didn't really planned much since I can visit multiple times in a year but, this will be 1st time in Tokyo.

I'll be visiting that digital art museum during the day > asakusa+food > tokyo tower > night club/event later on.. prob like this

[simple sparrow]

I realized that I have an Airbnb experience that day 09:00 - 19:00. I’ll be Asakusa when it ends.

I might hang out with someone who can join the meetup after that.

Planning to have a dinner together and going to look around night life.

[stoic nexus]

You can just join the event that I shared if you prefer, starts at 11pm

I think I'd like to do some shopping during the day.. last time I barely had the time lol

[simple sparrow]

It will be really far from the location of the event place lol

But I could be there with my friend by any chance. I’ll leave messages on here

[fading iron]

Anyone around Shibuya or Shinjuku today? I’ll be exploring all over those areas.

Going to try to hit up a popular Katsudon restaurant for lunch.

[cinder raptor]

Ask in #1192379236527374378 'cos it’s not June yet

[stoic nexus]

Prob I'll take a 1 hour ride rofl

I'll be staying near Ueno since I might have to use Narita for departure early in the morning

[fading iron]

Of course 🫣

[gilded belfry]

[placid cedar]

1st and 2nd of June will be my last opportunity to party. Wanna drink and dance to some punk/rock/metal music with some new people. Do those clubs even exist or is it all pop hip hop stuff 😂 Something more mainstreamy is also fine, lets just have fun

[placid cedar]

Oooh I was looking to go to a cool place, thank you so much!
The ticketing system was so daunting I didn't think about going somewhere for a while

[gilded belfry]

is this teamlab borderless? i just booked tickets to go with my friend : )

it looks so cool i cant wait

[simple sparrow]

I tried to buy the Teamlab planet tickets. But there were only tickets after 6/8. Can I go there without the booked tickets??

It seems like the tickets are sold out already lol

[fading iron]

I think they sell out quickly. I got my team lab planet ticket a few weeks ago and it was already limited

[simple sparrow]

Oh that’s my bad! thank you..

[fading iron]

You could try for borderless if there are still tickets

[fading iron]

Looks like people may also sell their tickets in the buy/sell section. Seen a few posts about it.

[simple sparrow]

I just checked but it’s sold out too.

[gilded belfry]

Unfortunately not, they give you specific time slots for ticket purchases as they try to limit the amount of people going through at a time

[fringe trellis]

What is teamlab anyhow

[fading iron]

A cool art installation that is a magnet for instagram influencers

[ivory magnet]

Heard there is an docs somewhere? Where is that?

Im travelling to japan 10-19 june! starting in tokyo and still planning out the rest

would love to meet some cool people and travel tgt

[placid cedar]

Did you check on klook? It's another ticket website that sells them

[cinder raptor]

Oh yeah it was about klook I couldn’t find remained

[placid cedar]

Aiii okay damn :/

We’re in it now! Just landed.

[lapis tangle]

[past belfry]

UCL final/UFC 302 on Sunday?

[arctic cosmos]

I’m back to discord
What did I miss?

[placid cedar]

We just had all you can eat buffet at the Yukai resort and will travel the nakasendo trail tomorrow

And now the onsen awaits!

Would be hilarious if anybody else here was in the vicinity 👀

[fringe trellis]

Ask me again in 12 days lol

[graceful cloak]

Hey guys, just moved to Japan! I'm originally from Hong Kong and prefers English. Will be in Tokyo for the entire June and looking to make friends to do art and cultural activities with. I enjoy going to museums, cafes, bar hopping, music bars and food of course. Eventually hoping to meet people to go on weekend trips with for hiking, beach activities.

Looking to go to the Yokohama Triennale this weekend if anyone is interested!

[fading iron]

I’m planning to go to Yokohama one day this weekend

[graceful cloak]

Cool hit me up!

[cinder raptor]

Welcome, if you live here you should get a Resident role rather than a traveller one id:customize

Here’s how to enjoy music in Japan if you haven’t worked it out already https://www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravel/comments/14sum76/how_to_access_live_music_in_japan_and_why_it/

[graceful cloak]

Does a working holiday visa count as resident?

[cinder raptor]

Yes because you have a resident card

Something all those tourists wish they had!

[ivory magnet]

Anyone going to Teamlabs the week of June 10? Happy to coordinate and go tgt

[ivory magnet]

Hey, let’s meet up sometime! I’m HK based as well and travelling to Japan in June

Also, In Tokyo what are good hostels to meet people while travelling? Heard good stuff about UNPLAN shinjuku

[manic rock]

I'm going to borderless on the 13th

[ivory magnet]

Oh cool! Maybe we can try and coordinate something

[graceful cloak]

Yes hmu!

[dense galleon]

[nova warren]

Im up for going Monday, what time are you going at, think there's a few tickets left for that day

[ivory magnet]

thinking of booking mt.fuji tour/going there myself June 13 or 14. Anyone interested in joining?

[fading iron]

I would recommend holding off until you know the weather

If it’s cloudy you might not see anything

[cinder raptor]

Odds of seeing it are very low in June

[ivory magnet]

Oh dang really? What are good day trips around? Maybe I should ask in #attractions

[fading iron]

https://fuji-san.info/en/index.html

This website was very helpful

I decided not to go

Also there is so much to do in Tokyo that I may only do 1 day trip

[quick kiln]

Lol... they pinned this thread and it's not even June yet. 😂

[ivory magnet]

close enough

[mint tundra]

[quick kiln]

(The joke is they usually pin the next month's thread late - but this time they were way early.)

[ivory magnet]

[grand void]

I don't mean to be "annoying" or something similar but holy shit my flight leaves tomorrow and I'm HYPED AF to be back in Japan again, I think my hear trate is twice as high as normal

[arctic cosmos]

Landed today and fighting the jet lag

[grand void]

Hope it won't be too bad, last time I arrived with no jet lag at all 🤞

[stoic nexus]

Me too! We arrived at the same time

[arctic cosmos]

But I guess everyone is starting in Tokyo and not in Osaka like me 😄

[heady pilot]

Went to teamlabs in macau last week with the infinite crystal universe and thought you could roam around inside the threads like a free for all. I booked it inside and was promptly stopped thankfully

[grand void]

Oh damn that's really handy though if you want to explore the south first 🤔

I will be in Fukuroda today going to see the falls. If anyone happens to be there I'd love to meet up

[fading iron]

Wow those are some nice photos

I need to find some good day trips out of Osaka area to see some nature

[weak prism]

It's connected to Jigokudani, just gotta walk a long trail. It's a natural geyser area. Connected to a public access footbath stream. V beautiful place.

[lime linden]

i had to take a train to where i wanted to go

[fading iron]

Sounds good I’m just going down to the waterfront but will wander back through Chinatown. It’s pretty busy.

Hit me up

[manic rock]

Did you stay for moving the shrine? That was an intense amount of people

[lime linden]

@fading iron 1 min

[drifting cloud]

Yeah I was holding the rope lmao

I saw you earlier but I didn’t want to lose my spot

[manic rock]

Yeah very fair

[drifting cloud]

You still here

[manic rock]

Yeah was just snacking down by the river

I was thinking of dropping by kuramadera and then going here for lunch if you want to join

https://maps.app.goo.gl/3zVzRFVVTagvRnLy8

Small hike 😛

[drifting cloud]

Was gonna say it’s in kurama

[manic rock]

Haha my original plans were a bigger hike than that

[drifting cloud]

Is there a hike there or is it just the roadway?

[manic rock]

There's a hike

[drifting cloud]

Is it the root path ?

[manic rock]

I think so yeah

[fossil marsh]

Prob just tonight if I leave in a bit

[manic rock]

Now I'm starting to wonder if I should come back down 😅

It sounds fun down there

Probably crowded af though

[drifting cloud]

Nah I left the shrine is going back up on a truck

There’s another thing on at 3 which is like a dance

I’m heading to kurama now

[manic rock]

Ah ok, the dance wasn't interesting? Sounded exciting

[drifting cloud]

They were dancing like that down the hill every 60 seconds

Dunno if it’s still happening

[manic rock]

Yeah I saw them doing that going down then heard them start up again just after I started hiking

[drifting cloud]

This is the next thing I’m pretty sure

[surreal parcel]

wait shit real??? need to visit then there

[manic rock]

Ohh shit

Now I'm sad I'll miss it 😭

[surreal parcel]

what's everyone up to tomorrow, for those in tokyo? i cbk for a wander

[fading iron]

Moving hotels to Asakusa then no plans

Going to be raining I think so down for some indoor activities

[surreal parcel]

what are some indoor activities around?

& honestly i've kinda given up on the weather forecast lol it said it was going to rain the entire day today & it hasn't, so

[grand void]

April weather be like but in june

[bitter vapor]

idk what I'm doing during the day, but tomorrow evening I want to hit the Yebisu bar by osaki station - they had a good lookin snack menu that I want to make my way through with some beers.

[surreal parcel]

cbk, guessing at night then?

[bitter vapor]

they're open from 17:00-21:00, so I was thinking like 630 or 7pm

[surreal parcel]

are you close to osaki? just wondering because google showed me a lot of yebisu bars, unless they're all different or something

so just gonna eat the snacks as dinner?

[bitter vapor]

The one in osaki just happened to be the one I passed by; I'd be down to go anywhere

[bitter vapor]

Probably. They had a good dinner menu too, but I'm a tapas guy 🤙🏽

[surreal parcel]

i'll be completely honest i am biased because i'm based in shinjuku so i lean heavily towards the shinjuku one lmao but we could also go to golden gai after too

but if you'd prefer the osaki one, that's cool too!

[bitter vapor]

Hell yeah. Shinjuku it is.

[surreal parcel]

ez, i may eat before anyway in case it doesn't fill me up, but will leave enough for lots of snacks

[surreal parcel]

yee thanks!! the shinjuku one is also open til 10

& would be cool if anyone else wants to come along too!

@bitter vapor lmk exact time you wanna come by tomorrow, just DM or @ me, i'll swing by!

[chilly flame]

Anyone wanna meet up for dinner in Kyoto today?

[bitter vapor]

Plan on 6:30 tomorrow? I'll ping you when I hit Shinjuku station.

[surreal parcel]

yeee

sounds good, see you then!

[drifting cloud]

I’m in kurama now

@manic rock you at soba place ?

[manic rock]

No still hiking

[drifting cloud]

Ok ima check out the temple let me know

[surreal parcel]

@fading iron if a bar is an indoor activity, we're going tomorrow night

[bitter vapor]

My Japanese is pretty garbage, but if it's raining tomorrow I might go see the detective conan movie if anyone wants to join

[chilly flame]

Not to spoil the movie, but the black shadow is the culprit Kappa

[surreal parcel]

unfortunately, i'm not great to watch movies with, plus even worse if since i won't know the language 😭 sorry

[lime linden]

real degen

[surreal parcel]

can't deny that 😂

[manic rock]

Heading down now

Sorry I'm being slow

I'm starving. Hope you don't mind if I head on down to the restaurant

[drifting cloud]

Ok

I’ll be there soon

It closes at 5

[manic rock]

Nice, see you there

Hopefully we can still get in 😅

[narrow flicker]

Anyone doing karaoke in the next few days? I would love to do that again before I leave Japan on the 4th

[placid cedar]

I'd love to tag along

[fading iron]

Yokohama is definitely the spot to be tonight

[cyan bane]

I'm down too

[haughty burrow]

Odaiba is insane today.

[sharp kite]

Anyone out around chuo city tonight? heading to dinner in abt 30 mins if anyone wants to come along!

[placid cedar]

But it's so far away D: do you guys frequently get taxis?

[fading iron]

Was only 40 minutes on train. I haven’t got a taxi yet.

[placid cedar]

Oh okay, frim ikebukuro it was an hour more according to maps 👀

[celest quest]

Anyone around in Shinjuku and want to do something? We could go to that one Hub as is tradition

[fading iron]

I might be around Shinjuku later but probably going to do laundry and chill.

[sharp kite]

headed to yakitori alley rn

[opal elbow]

I can go to Shinjuku

@opal elbow @fading iron even if we dont drink tonight (unless you guys wanna), im down to get food? if not, i'm gonna go wander off soon for food

[celest quest]

I am happy to get food as well I haven't eaten anything

[surreal parcel]

i might be the ticking time bomb decision because i am hungry & would like to eat soon

[surreal parcel]

what hub is it?

[opal elbow]

just food, okay. i'm down.

of course, if someone wanna drink, i'll do

[spiral sedge]

[surreal parcel]

[opal elbow]

[celest quest]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/63K7tmPf2UYgP9Mr5 It's this one

[surreal parcel]

does anyone have any place they recommend or anywhere they really want to go to?

oooo

[celest quest]

I'd be willing to do something real simple like Sushiro

[surreal parcel]

i think ive been before actually

[opal elbow]

sushiro, nice. or torikizoku

[surreal parcel]

good for either!

btw i was kinda kidding about rushing, i will wait if it did end up taking a while to decide 😅

[celest quest]

I'm a 鳥メロ man, I have brand loyalty

[celest quest]

I'm totally fine, and with the app we can at least reserve Sushiro ahead of time

I just got home

[surreal parcel]

ooo i didnt even know you can reserve with the app

[opal elbow]

oh, nice. of course 鳥メロ also fine

[celest quest]

Yea, for Sushiro at least, it doesn't fully get rid of the wait, but it will shorten it when its crowded

[fading iron]

Im still in Yokohama so will be at least an hour if not longer.

[surreal parcel]

o damn

[celest quest]

Did you know in 2021 they had a 30minutes 330 yen Nomihoudai? I didn't and I still can't believe it

[surreal parcel]

did you still wanna come, just late?

[fading iron]

Ya maybe, will need to get food

[surreal parcel]

or when can everyone do dinner anyway?

[celest quest]

I'm okay with whatever, not in a rush. I probably at least wanna take a shower anyway

[surreal parcel]

yeah should we just say in an hour or so then? meet up at sushiro shinjuku?

[celest quest]

It would be this one https://maps.app.goo.gl/Z1yriJnKRL5ZikvW6

How about an hour and a half, just to be safe?

[surreal parcel]

this one? https://maps.app.goo.gl/znnBgcRHsfsvRkPe8

[opal elbow]

I didn't know that. While pandemic, try to attract people ...

[surreal parcel]

oh ye i can do that too

okay, let's say 8 then? that work for everyone? @opal elbow @celest quest @fading iron

[celest quest]

That's good with me

[fading iron]

[surreal parcel]

[opal elbow]

Sure

[opal elbow]

I will go to Shinjuku 8ish

[opal elbow]

Sushiro at 8, right?

I will go to Sushiro at that time

[celest quest]

Yea

And it's good cause I'll do the reservation shortly as there's definitely a wait

[surreal parcel]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/Pf2z38PtoHrEmhLm8

[chilly flame]

Anyone in Hiroshima today?

Will arrive at 12 but leave again at 6:30pm... So if anyone wants to join going to the memorial or (maybe) Miyajima, just hit me up

[fading iron]

Only been in Asakusa for 30 minutes and already love it

[quasi lake]

The Sumida riverwalk is pretty cool! Reminded me of the Kamo River in Kyoto.

[bitter vapor]

I'm probably down, but I'll have to play it by ear. I don't know if I can make it for sure until next weekend. Would be cool to get a group together though.

Anyone in Shibuya interested in lunch in the next hour? I'm thinking either conveyor sushi or ramen

[lime linden]

@fading iron went to a real chinese restaurant today

[fading iron]

Just had to ditch the Gwailou first 🤣

[lime linden]

So in about 10/15 mins

I'll meet u at Uniqlo

[topaz cosmos]

The borderless one

[celest quest]

No one ever believes me about Ikebukuro Chinatown

[cyan bane]

I'm here @bitter vapor , I'm gonna head inside it's raining like crazy

[arctic umbra]

I'll prolly be in Osaka by then

[minor venture]

Anyone in Kyoto this evening/tomorrow?

[surreal parcel]

were we still meeting at yebisu shinjuku at 6:30 tonight?

people still keen?

[celest quest]

I don't know what people are doing but I'm just in Shinjuku regardless

[surreal parcel]

okay, i'll be honest i think i've overexerted myself today. i'm gonna take an hour nap & see how i feel. if i don't end up coming i'll update, sorry all 😔

[pastel cove]

Here with my girlfriend in Kyoto if anyone is about? Gonna head to a wagyu place and a soju bar by the river

[silver arrow]

I am! Just let me know where 🙂 (new to this discord)

[celest quest]

If anyone is in Shinjuku otherwise I'm just in a Taito wasting all my money

[chilly flame]

It's not wasting but an investment 👍

[heady pilot]

I'm down for something tonight 🙂 shibuya or shinjuku work

[celest quest]

I've invested enough I should get stock

[chilly flame]

Stonks only go up

[surreal parcel]

we still got yebisu going in shinjuku at 6:30 i think, i'm pretty rested up so should be good to come along

[celest quest]

And yet all my Segas are gone

[surreal parcel]

@cyan bane @placid cedar @bitter vapor see you all later at yebisu?

[heady pilot]

Can you drop the location?

[cyan bane]

Yes for sure

[surreal parcel]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/8g4bGkLDFg6MuYjP6

ya ya ya ya

cool!

[surreal parcel]

[celest quest]

If anyone wants to be here early I don't really want to go out in the rain 😅

[placid cedar]

Sounds gud! I'll be gaming with spme friends in Ikebukuro for a bit and drop in a tad later. Keen to meet u all! ^^

[bitter vapor]

On our way now

[celest quest]

@surreal parcel I'm by the Southeast gate which should be the closest

[heady pilot]

Domo! Bf and I are on the way

[rich coral]

Still room for one more in Yebisu?

[celest quest]

Probably, if there's an issue we can always just throw the "Sorry, foreigners, didn't understand" card

[surreal parcel]

damn yall are early lol i probs wont get there until it's closer to 6:30

[surreal parcel]

i'm just grabbing food rn lol so won't be coming out of the station this time 😂

[celest quest]

I'm probably just gonna go back to the Taito anyway, it's like four feet from the place

[surreal parcel]

lmao fair enough, sounds like the place has a grip on you lol

[celest quest]

There's just a lot of people at the exit

[bitter vapor]

We’re on the fukutoshin, so we’ll be coming out of Shinjuku sanchomae

[mint tundra]

Will try to make my way over

[celest quest]

I am right here https://maps.app.goo.gl/Z8GqySeKTP32o7KNA

Do we have/need a reservation?

[surreal parcel]

uh i have no idea, sorry i should've looked that up

it's just a bar so i was expecting it to be walk in

[celest quest]

It seems to be fine, it's just with this size of a group I'd wonder

[heady pilot]

How many people?

Got us a big table can seat 8

[celest quest]

That's probably good then

[heady pilot]

I'm in the black killua tshirt. Bf wearing red tshirt

[celest quest]

[surreal parcel]

[heady pilot]

We are in the big table right at the front pull up a chair lol

[placid cedar]

Oh ma. Where is the entrance xD

Ah!

[heady pilot]

Hehehe

[fading iron]

Asakusa in the rain is so quiet and peaceful

[surreal parcel]

a few of us are going to the muscle girls bar tomorrow at 5pm, if you'd like to come you need to make your own reservation as we've already made ours, but we will be there!

https://musclegirls.jimdofree.com/

come get slapped by a strong girl for free drinks

[grand kestrel]

Will be in Osaka tmw to buy jeans and watch a music show. Doubt anyone is interested in that, but ping me if you're curious

[arctic umbra]

im gonna land in tokyo on the 5th and stay for a few days
planning on taking a few shots for my film and explore the less touristy parts of the city
anyone up to meet?
teenagers preferred
im 16, not a pedo

posting again cause got lost up in the chats

also cause its a while before i get there

[grand kestrel]

The vast majority of people here are not under the age of 20

Most of the people here are going to be in their mid 20s and up

[arctic umbra]

i can see that

[grand kestrel]

Its extremely rare to see anyone here traveling alone as a teenager

[arctic umbra]

im not travelling alone

im with my family

but i can be alone once im there

[grand kestrel]

Ah okay.

Won't see many teenagers unfortunately, if any.

[arctic umbra]

yeah, but one can always have hope

[dense galleon]

hey guys so who wanna meet up and is in japan around 8 june to 27?

its coming so closeeee and i also finished math with a 99 😄

[craggy sorrel]

What kinda music 👀

Im doing the kyoto run so probably just gonna see the usualy shit but also i think k 4 days straight of shrine viewing might get old so mahbe this will be a good way to change the pace lol

[grand kestrel]

I'm going for this band - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WaP2_o_NPIA

[trail dust]

Yeah, but if you activate all the shrines you may unlock a secret buff for your character 🙂

[grand kestrel]

@craggy sorrel Welcome to show up if you want

I'm very big on music shows, so I go to many of them

[craggy sorrel]

Pretty sick gives me ealry 2000s jrock vibes

Same, i was actually thinking of going to nano in kyoto for a show tn but the show started early and we werent nearby

Ill let you know sometime tomorrow if i decide to pull through. Assume you can grab tix at the door?

[craggy sorrel]

Every time we go through a garden i feel so zen like that bit in one piece where franky gets the tea in him

Maybe i will just be in that mode permanently after my 20th zen garden

[grand kestrel]

Probably. I already made a reservation.

[winged talon]

How the weather been recently?

[manic rock]

Wet, mostly

[winged talon]

Hot?

[manic rock]

Most days have been around 23-26 so not too hot

At least where I've been

[winged talon]

I’m thinking of flying out next week

[craggy sorrel]

aint been too bad imo a little humid but i also grew up on an island so im used to it

[manic rock]

That seems.. spontaneous

Also it hasn't been typhoony or anything

Just often cloudy/drizzling with some occasional very wet days

I got caught in flooding once though

And some days have been lovely

[craggy sorrel]

yeah yesterday was gorgeous

[manic rock]

A bit hot though 😅 at least in Kyoto

But I went hiking to kurama, was nicer in the forest

[craggy sorrel]

today was ass, i had to sit under the heian tori gate for an hour and just hailed a cab back to my hotel

[manic rock]

I got caught in the rain today but the evening was fine

[craggy sorrel]

yeah good in the shade, i was dumb and wore pants all day in nara

[manic rock]

Hiked Fushimi Inari and it was great. The rain made it atmospheric

[manic rock]

Haha I've only packed pants 😄

But they're really light

[craggy sorrel]

true! zen gardens in the rain as well

[manic rock]

Wish I had more time in Kyoto though!

I definitely missed a lot of stuff

I guess I can always day trip from Osaka though

[craggy sorrel]

i feel that. the rain killed like 4 things i had planned today. still got 3 more but i dont think i can squeeze in uji now

yeah osaka imo is way better at night then the day so wouldnt miss much

do wish i checked out den den town for the weeb shit tho

[ivory magnet]

Has it been raining quite regularly? Might not stay long in Tokyo in that case

[manic rock]

Yeah I'd say so

[celest quest]

I don't think it's been specific to Tokyo

Also the earlier Typhoon was the first one of the season, but it mostly only affected Okinawa and more southern/western Japan and then veered right so Tokyo didn't really get Typhoon

[winged talon]

Do you think traveling from the 9th to the 22nd would be unwise?

[celest quest]

I think the rainy season has been all over the place in the past few years, so who knows

Also depends on how much you care about the rain

[ivory magnet]

Even Hokkaido?

[winged talon]

I’m cool with on and off rain, I’d prefer it not be down pouring all day most of the time I’m there lol

[ivory magnet]

yeah

[celest quest]

Generally no, usually as the rainy season moves north it stalls and so Hokkaido doesn't get a true rainy season, but sometimes the rain does make its way up there

[arctic umbra]

i'll be in tokyo on the 8th

[winged talon]

Weather the next ten days looks good

[dense galleon]

actualy my trip starts at osaka and my bad im landing on the 9th cause im coming from the other side of the globe XD

[weak prism]

Any1 in Mito area by any chance

[weak prism]

Any good sites to find concerts happening in Tokyo? Songkick kinda bad

[grand kestrel]

Depends on what you want to watch?

[cinder raptor]

https://www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravel/comments/14sum76/how_to_access_live_music_in_japan_and_why_it/

[weak prism]

Big ty

[grand kestrel]

Live houses are pretty easy to get into since you can just reserve in advance or pay at the door

If you're talking about like a major concert for hundreds/thousands of people, usually those require ticketing websites that are only open to those with a Japanese phone number

[weak prism]

Thanks for the info

Was open to any/all and that post is comprehensive. Good stuff thanks

[cinder raptor]

I also just wrote the sequel https://www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravel/s/EGYOUhMW7X

[weak prism]

Huge

Which lives are the harder edm houses if you don't mind me asking @cinder raptor

Anywhere kansai/tokyo

[cinder raptor]

I spent basically all my time in the comments section begging people to understand that venues don’t specialise that heavily by genre here

[weak prism]

Fair

I'll probably just keep the sites open as tabs and check once a day on updates

Look up whatever artist is playing and listen to a couple tracks and just go to one

[cinder raptor]

There are venues that have a lot of electronic music and enjoy blurring the line between livehouse and nightclub, like clubasia and Spread and Space

and Forestlimit

but yeah what you get really depends on the event of the day

[weak prism]

That's really good to hear and likely what I'd like the most. Or a live rock concert

[fringe trellis]

Anyone want to check out any fancy Tokyo restaurants 6/11-6/15?

[cinder raptor]

Also people in Tokyo tomorrow, some of my absolute faves are playing here and I’m DJing and you should come cause it’s gonna be a fun partyyyyyyy
https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/C6YUWY3SOK4/

[weak prism]

I'll only be in Tokyo for a weekend on 15-17

But in Kyoto from 10-15

I'll probably just yolo a day before and pick a place

[grand kestrel]

@weak prism There's this event that I'm sure @cinder raptor would want you to go to

https://retromygirl.com/live/240616/

You can't buy tickets through eplus, but you can buy at the door

@cinder raptor Seriously though. My luck is terrible here.

I only want to see 3 music acts on 6/16

and this festival starts at 11:30 AM

and of course my luck has it that Retro my girl is at 17:10, then Ometen at 17:40, and THEN Goomiey at Club Crawl at 18:30 (open). Just have to hope they aren't the first act

Of all the time slots.........GAHHHH

[weak prism]

Big rec ty

[fading iron]

Hmmm what to do today, seems like most things are closed on Mondays

Probably going to go up Tokyo sky tree this evening if the views aren’t blocked.

[cinder raptor]

Gonna rain in the evening so you might not see much

[fading iron]

Ya just not sure if the clouds will be above the tower or not
