December 2024

[spiral reef]

Definitely not below freezing

[wanton lynx]

yeah December in Japan is actually pretty nice. Seeing family in Korea in December was definitely worse than Japan

[elder osprey]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo#Climate

[leaden ice]

fr, it hit 0° today and I want to escape

[forest scroll]

Yeah it's soo cold in korea right now all of a sudden that I'm hoping when I go to japan on December 1st something that this won't happen ahahaha

[modest pulsar]

Anyone going or planning on going to zutomayo concert on the 25th?

[pallid ivy]

Do they still get aggressive if you have some cookies in your hands and dont feed them?

[rose sun]

They might get pushy even if you don't have cookies...

[elder osprey]

2 weeks #1294957773372657684

[unreal nexus]

Will be in Kyushu from Dec 4th - Dec 11th. Beppu, Kagoshima, Aso area. Looking at nature mostly. Let me know if anyone wants to meet up

[simple wind]

49m french guy there solo for NYE too

kinda the same dates (12/28>01/11). I got some food places to go to. If you ever wanna share a dinner in some not touristy spot, drop me a word

[vocal orbit]

for sure - add me as a friend since i'm unable to do so and I can reach out as it gets closer to the trip!

[vocal orbit]

lol i was gonna say eating cookies and bowing - more like shoving and bullying for snacks hahah

[pearl cape]

I'm down in kyushu doing a roadtrip from Nov 30 - Dec 8 will be in Beppu and Kagoshima. Can meet up if we are in cities at the same time

[unreal nexus]

Will be in Beppu 4th - 6th. Kagoshima and Aso sometime between 7th and 11th (Deciding between going to Kagoshima first or Aso area)

[pearl cape]

I'll be in Beppu on the 3rd and Kagoshima 6-8 so could meet there in the 7th

[unreal nexus]

Ah yeah that would work well

Add me on discord/instagram

[woeful oasis]

Any university students that're down to go bar hopping somewhere between december 4th-10th?

In Tokyo

[dense acorn]

howdy! i'll be traveling to japan from december 10th to the 17th!

no fixed itinerary yet but probably going to be in tokyo and hiroshima.
open to reccs or potentially meeting up for drinks with other folks who are around 🙂

[fallen wind]

Hey everyone! I'll be in Japan Dec 26th to Jan 17th. I'm a solo traveler M21 would love to meet people to get some food and drink for New Years

I'll be in tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto

[last dragon]

heyy im 22m no set plans for when yet other than new years in tokyo but kyoto and osaka are all part of the plan

[fallen wind]

nice to meet you bro! is this your first time visiting?

[last dragon]

yeah it is, i have no idea what im doing and maybe thats part of the fun :>

[pearl cape]

I mean I'm not a university student but I'm the same age as one, can I still join 😔

[modest pulsar]

Sadly I’ll be doing final that week😔

[echo iris]

Would anyone be interested in exploring Fushimi Inari at night either on 5th or 6th?

[woeful oasis]

Sure!

[pallid ivy]

I tried to convince my mom to go to Nara,but since she has a thing with aggressive animals that went out of the window.

[ebon gyro]

Honestly the fact that the deer are smelly is more the issue. They don't take interest in you if you show that you got no food.

[pallid ivy]

both me and my mom more or less have nose problems so that wouldnt really be a problem

Anyone up for a meetup in USJ in the afternoon of Dec 29th or the whole day of 30th?

[rain mesa]

I might be down. I dont really got much planned in the last days of my stay in japan.

[rain mesa]

I mean deer are probably the less agressive animals you can really encounter. especially ones that are used to human contact

[stray kiln]

Arriving in Tokyo Nov.30th, staying 2 months. Down to meet in Tokyo or
anywhere really if planned in advance.

[elder osprey]

I think this would start your 2 months with a bang #1294957773372657684

[stray kiln]

nice! good call. ill check it out

[broken apex]

[wide grotto]

[thorn lynx]

Anyone in tokyo between dec 7 to dec 10?

Anything interesting to book concerts or live music ?

[rain mesa]

Im in tokyo 3-10th but Im spending the 7th at comicon.

[pearl cape]

If you have Instagram look at the account "gigsintokyo" they should have some stuff on there for those dates

[thorn lynx]

Is it too late to get tickets?

[thorn lynx]

Do I send them directly to buy tickets?

[pearl cape]

No they'll have links on their story/posts or info if you just need to pay on the door

[thorn lynx]

Do u know where I can buy comic con tickets from usa?

[rain mesa]

https://tokyocomiccon.jp/en/ticket

[thorn lynx]

U can buy from usa?

[rain mesa]

Im from canada but got my ticket when I was still in the UK so I dont see why not

[thorn lynx]

[rain mesa]

[grim jewel]

[rain mesa]

[broken apex]

[grim jewel]

Yeah its a lil pricey

[broken apex]

[grim jewel]

I think atleast 1 drink

[digital kraken]

Fyi those days are close to the holiday season in Japan and will be SUPER BUSY

[dapper owl]

Hey, going to be in the Osaka area from Dec 4-7th, Nagoya 7-11th, and then Tokyo the 11th-17th. I would be down for a little nighttime group eating and drinking in any of those cities. I'm also up for stuff like music hunting (record stores), figure hunting, and museums or general exploring in Tokyo especially, as that's the least-planned part of my trip.

I also turn 27 on the 12th and dont really have much plans outside of a river cruise in the afternoon, so any meetups happening that day i would be down for as well

[compact ether]

Hi All, I have an extra ticket to YMCK's Christmas Show on Dec 1 (friend bailed on me) if anyone's interested
https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1309676864704479332

[dusk drift]

I was thinking maybe a lighter venue like a restaurant or bar, but not clubs?

I haven’t been to tokyo before so i can do some looking online, i know theres some events on the meetup app but yea if anyone has some suggestions from their own experiences lmk.

[elder osprey]

Gig rec for that day

37M from USA, straight, single, just looking for fun! I’ll be in Tokyo from 11/28 - 12/2 before headed to Seoul and Hong Kong.

[jolly wind]

Hi! 25m from Philippines. I'll be here in Mikawaanjo, Anjo Aichi. Currently on a business trip. I'm literally down for anything :< My hobbies are singing and playing guitar. I just bought one in Osu recently xD
We can stroll around Nagoya or if you have recommended place

[shell fiber]

Hello! I'm 24M, from the USA. Heading to Japan between Dec 8th and the 23rd for the first time, solo. Planning on Tokyo/Fukuoka/Iki/Fukuoka/Tokyo. I really just plan on chilling out, seeing the sights, buying a whole bunch of cassettes/vinyls. A few hikes as well. Feel free to dm me if you want to hang out for a day or two, to do whatever.
Edit:I know very little Japanese, it was kind of a kneejerk trip, just as a heads up!

[broken palm]

Hi all, 26M from US, finalized my dates, Dec 1-10 in Tokyo, 10-16 in Osaka, and 16-20th in Tokyo. Planning on checking out all the tech spots and anything cyberpunk, as well as the normal nature and touristy stuff as well. Will also be seeing several museums like science museums and the Toyota museums. Happy to meet up for drinks/dinner at the end of the day, or go exploring the city together.

[timber mesa]

I’m arriving on Thursday and staying in Akasaka as well!

[oak compass]

Also in Tokyo at that time! I can also do the 8th!

[dusk drift]

18th December afternoon + evening going to be in ginza if anyone wants to walk around, do photography and eat foods.!!!

[dusk drift]

fellow cyberpunk player?

[broken palm]

Yeah love that game but I also love the genre as a whole. Found a couple bars in Shinjuku that are cyberpunk themed, and apparently a maid cafe. Really disappointed I didn't get to see Kawasaki arcade before it closed

[dusk drift]

cyberpunk themed bar sounds cool.

[dusk drift]

im in tokyo these days if u wanna go^

[broken palm]

Sweet I am down, I am also going to Teamlab planets on Dec 19th at 1pm

[dusk drift]

oh, can i join you? 😛

i havent booked mine yet i was gonna go on 18th but im free 19th too

[dusk drift]

bruh this emoji is so goofy

[broken palm]

Sure, that would be great

[rain mesa]

https://tenor.com/view/sds-gif-20505870

[dusk drift]

cool imma book it now then

i guess if any1 else wants to come too

[rain mesa]

I replied to the wrong person XD

[dusk drift]

its okay i like cyberpunk too

yay booked

[rose sun]

cyberpunk themed maido cafe?

[broken palm]

I found this article https://japantoday.com/category/features/food/new-cyberpunk-maid-cafe-opens-in-akihabara, tempted to check it out just for the cyberpunk vibes

[dusk drift]

https://akibazettai.com/

it looks cool

but i would never step in here alone 💀💀

i guess i need to try a maid cafe once for jokes

the price seems okay too 600jpy entry, drink is round 650 and meal is 1k

[broken palm]

Yeah could be a little cringe from what I've seen but who cares its a different country where no one knows you

[modest pulsar]

Go in there alone and assert dominance💀

[dusk drift]

-1000 aura

i wanna see if i can find some resident evil merch in akiba too

could do half a day there

[broken palm]

Yeah I'll be doing some shopping there on Dec 18-19th before I leave, really want to see the electronics and video games stores. Will probably have to figure out how to ship stuff back home

[rose sun]

Ah, a bit of neon and they say "cyberpunk", I'll stay with the classics like Cure Maid Cafe

Which I very much recommend if you want a non-cringe maid cafe.

and extremely tasty teas to take home

[dusk drift]

so like dec 19th evening if anyone wants to hang around akihabara and get dinner sounds like a plan!

where are all the late december people fr

oh yea guys also make sure to fill meet sheet pinned:

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pP_xTjwLzew6fpEqRZEwdL9Pu5nRqoyaEO7M9ORCYn4/edit?usp=drivesdk

I guess for late december Tokyo on the meetsheet we have @grim jewel who i think mentioned some events earlier, then theres also @old barn @patent storm @ember merlin and @odd reef

[old barn]

Yeye let’s make a group dinner plan!!

Haven’t been active on discord as of late since i’m already in japan but not travelling solo just yet 😅

[shell fiber]

Sure, I wouldn't mind meeting up then.

[odd reef]

Would be down for dec 19 post-dinner nightlife!

[broken palm]

I am down for group dinner then

[ember merlin]

I'd be down for sure, should we make a GC on who is going and who isn't?

(Also don't mind my pfp, its my friend's face doing chest at jim for the first time lol)

[dusk drift]

okayy

that’s a good idea

ill make a gc

https://discord.gg/daxCyNET cap at 10 people

i’m going to sleep now 💤

[south copper]

Hi everyone! I’m a 25-year-old Asian Australian, and this will be my first time solo traveling. I’ll be staying near Tokyo from December 17 to January 2.

I’ll be visiting Yuzawa and Nozawa Onsen for snowboarding from December 18 to 24, going to the Zutomayo concert, and checking out Comiket 105. If anyone’s interested, it’d be great to meet up for some food and drinks!

[south copper]

I am planning to go to the concert in 25th.

[old barn]

Yess, of course!! I’ll probably make a meetup thread closer to mid dec for anyone else who wants to join 😊 need to research some good spots

^

[rose sun]

Hi!, We're also going to Comiket (37M and 27F) and there was one other person here that said they plan to go. I gave up trying to buy the early access, since we're going both days, 4x5k becomes a bit expensive, I'd rather spend that inside

[south copper]

Sure!! I am thinking of getting the am entry wristband. Feel free to dm me if you are interested. I heard the morning queue is horrible🤣. Will be cool to have someone to chat with during the queue.

[dusk drift]

if new december tokyo ppl wanna join meetup here, im gonna add it to the meet sheet too^

[pulsar pecan]

Hi! I’ll be traveling to Japan soon—Tokyo December 1st-4th, Kyoto 5th-9th, and then back to Tokyo 9th-12th. I’m 42m from India, and this trip was a last-minute decision, so I haven’t planned much yet. I’m looking forward to sightseeing, enjoying great food, and enjoying cultural things. I don’t speak Japanese, but I’d love to connect with others to hang out, explore, or meet up for lunch or dinner. I’d also really appreciate any suggestions for planning my trip. Please feel free to DM me!

[timber forge]

I can meet for dinners on 12/1!

And what are people’s plans on 12/1? I have the whole day free and don’t know what I should do

[tulip hollow]

Hey everyone, I'm going to be in the following areas if anyone wants to meet up for food/drinks or any shared activities (27m from Canada):

Dec 1 - 6: Tokyo
Dec 7 - 10: Kyoto
Dec 11 - 12: Osaka
Dec 13 - 14: Kobe
Dec 15 - 19: Kyushu
Dec 20 - 21: Tokyo

[tulip hollow]

Hey I'm interested in checking out tech and cyberpunk stuff, any spots in particular you have in mind? Going to be in Tokyo from the 1-6 if you want to meet up and check something out, plan on going to the Tokyo national museum at some point if you're interested

[tulip hollow]

I have the 1st as a free day for just going around the city and checking out anything that looks interesting, could meet up for food or something if you/others are interested

[jolly lake]

Howdy! I’m 29F from MA (US) and I’ll be in Japan early December.

Nov 30 - Dec 5 Tokyo
Dec 5 - 9 Osaka
Dec 9 - 11 Kyoto
Dec 11-12 Tokyo

I like theater, music (jazz/pop/indie/hiphop) and am really there to eat! Would love to meet up for drinks or food with folks once I’m tired of just my own company 😂

[foggy oak]

Hi fellow MA person! Have fun

[elder osprey]

For your consideration #1294957773372657684

[tulip hollow]

I'm going to be in Tokyo at the same time and have a free day in Kyoto on the 8th if you want to meet up, what kinds of stuff are you interested in?

[unreal nexus]

Hey nice, also another fellow MA here

[broken palm]

There's 2 cyberpunk bars in Shinjuku and a cyberpunk maid cafe, that's about all I found. I am down to check out the museum or hang out elsewhere, I will be in Tokyo then too

[timber forge]

Cyberpunk maid cafe?? 👀 i’m interested

[broken apex]

Me too 😂😂

Also the bar 🤪

[broken palm]

Cafe: https://akibazettai.com/
Bar: https://kujiraentertainment.com/ and https://neoshinjukuatsushi.com/

I think theres some kind of "Samurai" bar from the people that used to host robot shows

[timber forge]

Would love to do it but only free on 12/1!

[broken palm]

I will probably be jetlagged af but down to check it out

Hmm I'll probably arrive too late for any kind of cafe but a night time bar visit would work

[broken apex]

Unluckily I’ll be in Tokyo from 6th till 13th 😞

[broken palm]

I'll be in Tokyo from Dec 1st until my trip to Osaka on the 10th so I have some overlap

[tulip hollow]

My flight's supposed to land at 1 on the 1st so I should be good to go sometime in the evening, down for either the bar or the cafe

[tulip hollow]

Is it this one: https://samurai-restaurant.tokyo/top/top.php

Saw some videos and was planning on checking it out at some point anyways

[broken palm]

I'm landing at 4pm so yeah probably won't be free till the evening but def down to hang out then

[broken palm]

Yeah that one, seems interesting, down to check it out

[last dragon]

weather in boston has been horrible

[jolly lake]

It’s wild to me that it’s warmer in Japan rn than Boston but very excited for that weather 😂

[foggy oak]

Never thought of Japan as a cold Boston winter escape but.. here we are

[stable fable]

Japan is a cold escape from Washington state too 😂

I left right as a storm was coming in and knocked out power for nearly a week

[inland copper]

I met a group of Bostonians in Tokyo in February, but we happened to be there like the one day that winter where it snowed 😆

[spiral reef]

I have a nomad eSIM referral code $7usd off if you are looking for data plan.

[elfin hull]

it's still t-shirt weather today, and for next few days of December

[next hare]

24 M from Texas, will be in Tokyo 12/6 to 12/13. First time in Japan and will be travelling alone, would really appreciate some company

Still planning Hokkaido maybe.

[tulip hollow]

Anyone interested in going to tokyo immersive fort between the 1-6 or 20/21?

[stable glen]

ooh what’s this

[tulip hollow]

https://immersivefort.com/en/index.html

It's kind of like an indoor theme park where you solve mysteries (kind of like an escape room almost but more interactive?)

Just opened this year and heard lots of good things about it

[inland copper]

woah that looks pretty awesome

not sure if my Japanese is up to par to get the full experience lol

[grim jewel]

Ooo that looks fun, isn't that where they did the Alice in Borderland thing?

[tulip hollow]

Yeah I think so

[grim jewel]

[dusk drift]

[elder osprey]

For your consideration #1294957773372657684

[lusty glacier]

Hey everyone! I’m 23M traveling to Japan for the first time from NYC :)! I’ll be doing the first half of the trip solo so would be down for any traveling tips/ anyone who wants to hang out.

Will be Tokyo Dec 1-3 and then Kyoto 3-7 for the solo portion of my trip!

[plain bay]

28m travelling Onomichi and Hiroshima in 1-3 Dec, anyone?

3rd time to Japan and first time solo travelling..down to meetup though I suppose everyone in tokyo/osaka

[elder osprey]

Look one message above yours 🥹

[rain mesa]

@fresh pawn hey Im interrested in the 6th meet up for dinner and stuff.

[rain mesa]

yeah sadly Im not down more south for a week or so

[rain mesa]

it looks interresting but my japanese is non existent

[rain mesa]

check the pinned google doc. Im in tokyo for a few of the days your there and theres a meet up on the 6th and 7th

[rain mesa]

hey so if you wanna stop in Nara on the 16th theres a festival on that Im going to

also lego lmk if you set a date for the cyber punk thing Im down lol

[broken palm]

Hmm I could do an early festival in Nara on the 16th but I gotta head back to Tokyo on that day

[rain mesa]

up to you just an idea since your heading past the area sorta

https://onmatsuri.kasugataisha.or.jp/gyouji/

[broken palm]

Hmm I gotta figure out the train system first lol. You are right that's on the way.

[rain mesa]

same haha

[rain mesa]

sweet

[broken palm]

Where is this meetup? If it's in Tokyo I'm interested

[tulip hollow]

This is on the 6th? I'm interested too if it's in tokyo

[rain mesa]

it is

its in the google doc nerds

[stray kiln]

We have some overlap. Would be down to meet up. I arrive in Tokyo Nov.30 .

I added/DM'ed you.

[rain mesa]

dec 5-9th any of yall in that time frame interrested in checking out the small worlds museum? Im a hobbiest so thats my main draw to it haha.

[broken palm]

Yes that sounds awesome, didn't know it existed

[stray kiln]

I'd be interested. I can do 5th or 6th

[broken palm]

5th or 6th should be fine for me as well

[rain mesa]

lets say the 6th for now then cause I assume yall will also wanna tag along for dinner later that same day

[stray kiln]

🍻lets do it

meet at the museum? what time?

[broken palm]

Also interested in going to the Tokyo National Museum and Miraikan. Will be making a day trip to Yokohama for Mitsubishi Minatomirai Industrial Museum and the Ramen museums

[rain mesa]

Tokyo National Museum is 100% something I wanna go to

[broken palm]

Ah yeah I think you mentioned it earlier

[rain mesa]

At the museum is probably the safest option. Ide say after 12 maybe 1pm so everyone can eat something small prior to meeting up

history is like 90% of my over fixation.

[stray kiln]

Shall we throw up a group chat?

12-1pm works for me. Can get some exercise and work done in the morning, eat and head over

[rain mesa]

Yeah I can do that. I'll add it to the doc too just incase

[stray kiln]

what doc?

[rain mesa]

in the pins of this

Its a google doc of all the meet ups/ all the peoples days in japan

[stray kiln]

oh maybe just cant see or dont know how to see on my phone. will check on laptop tomorrow

nice

[rain mesa]

mobile is dumb about forums. to view pins in forums on mobile you gotta click the name hit settings then hit pinned comments

but yeah will be easier to read on a laptop for sure

[stray kiln]

found!

ty

[rain mesa]

but yeah if you want a tag along lmk what day your going.

heck I should probably put up some of the stuff Im doing and see if I cant get some people to come lol. Im going to that festival in nara alone and my japanese is gonna be reliant on my phone lmao

[broken palm]

I have it on my schedule for the 3rd but willing to move it around

Also ngl I might speedrun it, history isn't my biggest interest but we'll see how interesting the museum is

[rain mesa]

ah mb should have looked at that haha. Im landing late on the 3rd. fair. history is my thing so might be safer if I go alone then

all good

[broken palm]

A bit more niche than the other museums I mentioned but I will be making a trip out to Nagoya on the 14th to see the Toyota museums and the science museum there. Big toyota fanboy personally.

[tulip hollow]

I'm planning to go to the national museum at some point, but it's right by my hotel so I'll probably go early morning or in the evening.

Give me a shout when you plan on going @rain mesa, if I'm in the area I'd be down to go

[rain mesa]

I can do early mornings. the 5th would probably be the best cause It gives me a day to settle into japan abit

[slow pier]

Hey! 22f from the US. I'll be in Tokyo solo Dec 9-12 and have like no plans at all. So also down to do something!

hey @old barn just saw your note in the spreadsheet, I love stationary haha 🙂 so would love to go to the stationary expo with you on Dec 12. optionally would also be down to explore a bar or something on the 11th night

[old barn]

Yay! 🥹 i bought my ticket using kkday, I wanna get there around opening time and stay until it closes- so much stationery to see so we can meet up whenever suits you😊 ye let’s also make night plans for the 11th too!!

@slow pier just say your dec ladies thread 🙌 let’s continue the convo there incase any others wanna join!!

[exotic pagoda]

[sullen grail]

I'm gonna be in Kyoto all of December and was planning to go to Hiroshima/Nagasaki and some other places around that time!

[dawn cave]

Hey, I'm heading to Hiroshima on 15th, happy to have company if you're free

[jovial zephyr]

I'll let you know, need to finalize plans with a friend. will you be staying around that area or going back to Kyoto? I was gonna plan a week or so trip to see the west side

[dawn cave]

I'm in Kyoto between 13-19

[unreal nexus]

There's a owl cafe reservation available around 12pm 12/2 if anyone's interested

In the Akihabara area

[rain mesa]

@broken apex yo what time we all aiming to meet up on the 7th. im probably gonne head that way for like 0830

[broken apex]

No prob for me, whenever u want, we just should pick the meeting point

Or maybe 830 they’re not even open? 😂

[weak crane]

I'm interested!

[elder osprey]

I have to say please don't go to owl cafes because they have a bad animal welfare record

[weak crane]

I heard that was the case in general 😦

[broken apex]

What if I already did it? 😖

[elder osprey]

Then that's a shame I suppose

[broken apex]

But they look like not in a bad shape…

I know they aren’t supposed to be in cafes etc, but that’s for all animals

[rain mesa]

venue opens at 10 I think but I dont wanna show up to a massive entry que haha

[elder osprey]

I'll just quote someone who knows more than me
#attractions message
#planning-and-itineraries message
#attractions message
#attractions message

[broken apex]

Yeh, like every animal cafe…

[elder osprey]

Dog/puppy ones are okay. They are basically doggy daycares except you can go inside them

[weak crane]

Oh good to know thank you for the information

[elder osprey]

Cat ones are hit-and-miss, some drug the cats

[broken apex]

That’s sick

[broken apex]

Great, let’s just update 1 or 2 day before with everyone

[unreal nexus]

Looks like 12/2 may be taken, I'ma go back to my hotel and check out other dates

[jade mural]

coming back to this, it’s my first time travelling to japan and i’m unsure on what clothes to bring lol, how cold does it actually get towards end of Dec and early Jan?

[elder osprey]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo#Climate

[feral trout]

i wouldnt say freezing by any means, a lot of the time the suns out. So you can easily get by with jeans and a hoodie/jacket. I think temp wise its 5-12 celsius which i dont think is too cold

but thats in and around tokyo

[jade mural]

okay cool thanks for that!! I’ll be in Sapporo and Nisekeo and obviously preparing for that to be super cold but yeah was wondering how it would be in the major cities like Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto etc

[broken apex]

I was yesterday in Nagano and it was like 1 celsius, it was fkn cold

[tribal fractal]

Hey me and @pearl cape are about an hour out from Fukuoka now

Anyone out for food and drinks tonight?

[broken apex]

Try ask in the november thread

[pearl cape]

@foggy oak arrived

[foggy oak]

I'm munching yakitori near Hakata eki, will be done in like 30

[pearl cape]

Will be going daimyo

[foggy oak]

@pearl cape bar when?

[pearl cape]

I'll be in hub in about 20 minutes

[foggy oak]

Any chance you're coming closer to Hakata? Nanakuma line closes early, like 10 pm

Oops nvm I'm wrong, it's on for a while yet

But closer to hakata would still be nice, my legs are beat

[glass moat]

U shouldn't beat ur legs

That hurts

[pearl cape]

Think that might be too far from our hotel, daimyo not far for us

[foggy oak]

But it's how I know I'm alive

[foggy oak]

kk, I'll try and swing by HUB then. You guys there already?

[pearl cape]

Nah stopped for some mulled wine at Xmas market but won't be long

[foggy oak]

Let me know when there. I should be like 30.

[pearl cape]

We're here

[foggy oak]

I went back to the hotel to drop off the luggage, be there in like 20-25

[pearl cape]

Roger

[foggy oak]

This is way more out of the way for me than I thought

[foggy oak]

@pearl cape almost there. Indian guy, black jacket, looks sleep deprived

[pearl cape]

Are you describing yourself or @tribal fractal ?

[foggy oak]

I have no idea who that is, but that is me

[pearl cape]

It's my mate I'm with

[tribal fractal]

We are the same person

[foggy oak]

@pearl cape I'm in

[tribal fractal]

We're sitting towards the back

[frosty girder]

I can't believe I'm still here for the next few days 😦

[oak nebula]

I can’t believe I went over budget before even getting there

[next hare]

I'll be near there from 6 to 13!

[plush yacht]

It's difficult to visit without driving, but Oiwa Shrine is a definitely a spot to visit when in Ibaraki (northeast of Tokyo). Feels like a fantasy village

If anyone has spots to recommend in Ibaraki or nearby lemme know, I'm driving and ready to go

[broken apex]

Here we areeee

Selfie with my friends

[plush yacht]

Where are you managing to go right up to the monkeys?

[broken apex]

Jigokudani monkey park

[plush yacht]

Figures. I got similar at Nagasaki Biopark

[forest scroll]

Can't believe I arrived at narita airport

[ebon gyro]

I believe it

[oak nebula]

There is a ryokan where you can bathe with monkeys. But it’s fully booked out

😭

Bathing in monkey shit sounds like an experience

[broken apex]

Idk if I’d trust to do that… if they got rabies that’s a real deal if they bite u 😂

But still sounds great

[foggy oak]

Which one is you though?

[rain mesa]

HAHAHA the monkey

[broken apex]

What a question

The one on the right

The amazed one

[rain mesa]

rabies makes animals avoid water

[foggy oak]

Looking good!

[broken apex]

He could be asymptomatic 😂

[rain mesa]

Infected animals can only transmit rabies after the initial signs of illness begin.-cdc

[broken apex]

Sorry doc

[rain mesa]

lol

[broken apex]

But why risk it 😂

[rain mesa]

I mean Ide be more worried about them being literal wild animals that will rip your face off

[broken apex]

That sounds good

[leaden ice]

Not sure if I wanna do more cycling today

[livid karma]

I agree lol

Monkeys are rogue

[tulip hollow]

Yeah borderless and planets are different

[leaden ice]

They can video call each other

[rare fox]

Then they don’t need to go to both big brain strategy

[dawn cave]

Nightlife in Tokyo is unreal ill be coming back from the 9 - 18th if you would like to go to some clubs together

[tardy slate]

[dusk drift]

[scarlet heart]

Planning on a day trip to Kyoto on Thursday. I know I won’t be able to see everything and I know I should’ve booked a night there but that’s besides the point. If you had to do one thing in Kyoto for a day where would you go?

[broken palm]

[kind hornet]

Shibuya I think

[jolly shale]

Will there be earplugs available at the venue? Where can I get a pair of concert earplugs?

Mild tinnitus from shows past that I do NOT want getting worse

[elder osprey]

Yes they sell foam earplugs for pay-what-you-want!

[jolly shale]

Awesome, tysm!

[elder osprey]

Concert ones you’re likely to find at Yodobashi/Bic Camera etc.

[jolly shale]

Cool, thanks for that too. Damn I was just at a Bic yesterday

[random fossil]

Oh good idea, I'll stop by Bic Camera then to grab some

[robust gazelle]

Biccu biccu biccu

That song 😅

[echo iris]

That song is stuck in my head😭

[dim panther]

Hey all. Just got to Tokyo from Hiroshima. Anyone near Tokyo Dome?

[broken apex]

Idk if I hate more that song or donqui 😂

[robust gazelle]

The employees must go insane listening to the biccu one all day

[echo iris]

Donki is fine now but any sort of melody including bells triggers bicu bicu camera

[broken apex]

Btw guys, no barbershop today, rescheduling for tomorrow 🥲 (if u have a nice barbershop to advice pls tell me)

In half an hour I’ll go out, so I can reach whoever has alcohol on his table

😂

[kind hornet]

Lol

Good strat

[broken palm]

I am down to check out the Lost bar tonight

[dim panther]

[floral shell]

Yes I already had dinner, so probably heading to the bar

[broken apex]

I’m here with a green timberland coat

[dim panther]

I guess there is a line now. Let me see if I can secure a table.

They won’t let me get a table since I’m alone. They said everyone has to wait in line and wait for their turn to come in even though their company is inside. and they will have to think about where we will sit later. Just let me know when you are inside.

[broken palm]

Heading over now, going to be like 30 mins

Any good quick spots to eat nearby? I'm starving

[kind hornet]

Maccas lol

[limpid valley]

How much do drinks cost there? The bar looks nice, but it looks fancy enough to make me worried I wouldn't be able to afford it

[kind hornet]

They said no more discord people sorry

[remote crescent]

Tough crowd 💀

[glass moat]

Borderless better imo.

You'll definitely see a few things from planets that are also in borderless

[glass moat]

Hopefully now that it's winter, planets will stink less of feet

[vital lintel]

Planning on flying in to Tokyo on the 12th and staying in Shinjuku for a few days before I take the train west. Would love to meet up with people while I'm there!

[jolly lake]

I’m shopping and going to be walking around Akihabara and then Shinjuku. Don’t think I’ll be able to make the evening event

[empty ermine]

I was thinking about going to the big Sanrio store in Ginza. I'm hunting for Aggretsko merchandise and its hard to find!

[jolly lake]

I’m doing ginza shopping tomorrow but good luck!!

[empty ermine]

Anyone want to meet in Ginza at the Big Sanrio Store and then lunch??

[broken palm]

[broken apex]

I’m just searching for a barbershop (still) and after that I can do whatever any of u guys wants 😂

[severe glade]

Down in Kitakyushu for the week if anyone happens to be near fukuoka hmu.

[ebon gyro]

Many people of the same mind. This bus departed early, I am sure they are sending a second one

[dim panther]

My hotel gave me this, but it could be a little far from you.

[empty ermine]

When are you in Akihabara? Maybe I'll try my luck there.

[jolly lake]

@empty ermine probably around lunch time like 1pm ish

[empty ermine]

I'll meet you there if you want to meet up

[broken apex]

At this point I just think I’m going to the first one I find 😂

[broken apex]

I finished washing my clothes, where do u wanna meet?

So I go now and check a barber in that area (the first one I see 😂)

[dim panther]

I just went to go drop off my shoes and walked by 2 barber shops.

[broken palm]

Not yet, woke up late, eating now

[broken apex]

Yeh I have some where I am, but I don’t like how they look 😂

[dim panther]

I don't really care. I am getting hungry. @floral shell could probably join too

[broken apex]

Which area?

[dim panther]

[broken apex]

Not a problem, 40 min and I could be there

[livid karma]

I think u take ur shoes off lol

Cuz there’s water and shit

[echo iris]

I'll be at shimokita around 5ish and will grab sth to eat neaby

[elder osprey]

At the venue setting up, it’s happening

[dim panther]

Curry crew at your name

[stable glen]

[stable glen]

ahhh i was there the other day at sunset!! lovely !!

[severe glade]

From Shin Osak > Shinagawa

I may or may not be homeless for the night, anyone doing anything tonight in Tokyo?

Or Osaka depending on if I make it back in time.

[echo iris]

I'm gonna be taking the train to shimokita from Shinjuku

[elder osprey]

Got like 100 people coming to the gig #1294957773372657684

Not much going all-night on a Monday though

[willow shore]

anyone doing anything around akiba?

tokyo is overwhelming man

[stray kiln]

it is. just leaving now. going to rest up before Shock

[balmy crescent]

Just left Tokyo Immersive Fort, heading to dinner now. Let me know what the vibes are at Shock Factor later.

[stable glen]

ikr

[stable glen]

who here is coming !

also there are always these people standing outside Shibuya station handing out pamphlets

i don’t get what they’re promoting

is it a concert thing

there are so many of them though

[stray kiln]

did u grab one? can put a pic of it here and we can figure out what it is

[stray kiln]

me, probably show up around 8 or so

[livid karma]

Idols

[stable glen]

the only thing i heard her say was IDOL IDOL

[stable glen]

what is that

is it like a kpop event

[livid karma]

No

[stable glen]

what are yall doing in the meantime

[livid karma]

Kpop is Korean

🤣

[stable glen]

i’m in shibuya rn, just finished dinner with a friend

butter chicken and naan

delicious but a completely immobilising meal

[stable glen]

so this is the japanese version of it

[stray kiln]

power nap

[stable glen]

why would they need to have a dozen people standing there promo-ing it if they’re popular

i’ve never seen that for a Blackpink concert or whatever cos it just sells out

[stray kiln]

you can't compare a smaller group with the biggest group in the world

[elder osprey]

Mostly underground idols

[stable glen]

but they have so many employees

must have a massive marketing budget to have ppl stand there every day

[elder osprey]

Are you sure they're all handing out the same flyer? It's probably a lot of different groups

[stray kiln]

that kind of labor is extremely cheap

usually hourly/day rate gigs offered to students

[stable glen]

YEAH LOL different groups haha

i don’t look too closely

all merged into the same thing in my brain man

[elder osprey]

Often it's the idols themselves doing it

[stable glen]

damn i respect the hustle

i thought the whole idol thing was only possible with huge backing from a corporation like in korea

[lapis delta]

whens this

[stable glen]

haha u wanna go?

i’ll see

the QR code leads to their twitter page

[gaunt basin]

anyone already in shimokita for the live?

[stable glen]

we’re on our way soonish

this is it yeah?

[livid karma]

Yep

[queen summit]

What phone was this taken on?

Nice pic mate

[stable glen]

gotta be a mirrorless or DSLR

[livid karma]

Prob iphone

[stable glen]

prob Blackberry

[sudden maple]

I’ll make it out to the show in an hour or so. Still in Tokyo till Wed.

[glass moat]

@robust gazelle i found your calling

[robust gazelle]

Coor blimey

[severe glade]

That was one of the worse looking ones, but it’s on the 16 pro.

Here are the exact settings.

[livid karma]

Yea called it

Im jealous u got a clear day

[robust gazelle]

I think the next few days will be clear tbh

[livid karma]

I meant while riding shinkansen

I got zero visiblity

Need that Fuji pic

📸

[robust gazelle]

O

Me too kinda lol

[severe glade]

Well back to Fukuoka I guess.

[sudden maple]

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

[robust gazelle]

Cheers fren

[pearl cape]

Anyone happen to be in kumamoto?

[robust gazelle]

Good luck with that

😂

[pearl cape]

Fell to my knees

[sudden maple]

Just got to the show. Brown dude in a blue jacket.

[jolly shale]

I'll be there in 15. Also brown, blue jacket

Spiderman dot jpeg

[severe glade]

I think this is my 8th ride on the shinkansen, I think I’ve almost gotten my moneys worth of the JR Pass.

[little jewel]

8 rides prob makes a 21d jr pass more than worth

if they’re all as long as tokyo<>kansai you’ve broken even

or if its a 7/14d pass

[little jewel]

i wish

[severe glade]

I have a 14 day pass, I’ve gone from Tokyo to Nagoya twice, to Osaka twice, and this my second time going to Fukuoka.

[little jewel]

wait

You did the tokyo to nagoya round trip twice

and tokyo to osaka round trip twice?

[severe glade]

Correct

[little jewel]

tokyo to osaka round trip twice nearly breaks even a 14 day pass

its 60k yen in tickets and the pass is 80

but dude you’re patient as fuck wtf

[severe glade]

Twice for universal (bad weather first day) and twice to Nagoya because I forgot my wallet.

[little jewel]

you spent like 30h inside a shinkansen this trip?

💀💀💀

More maybe

[severe glade]

Yea, and my friend wants to tag along

😅

I told him you stay your ass in kokura. I literally came to Tokyo from Fukuoka just for one bag.

[little jewel]

When you said 8 times

I thought you had 8 train trips

not 8 train ROUND TRIPS

you’ve made like
way more than twice what you paid lol

[severe glade]

Yea, but lesson learned, don’t bring or buy too much.

[little jewel]

I brought too much

my lesson learned is

DONT LET YOUR WIFE PACK FOR YOU

[severe glade]

Lmao 😂

[little jewel]

and dont let family members buy things from amazon for you to take home

[severe glade]

Wait why would they do that?！😱

[little jewel]

Because they want things that they cant find at home

Or are way cheaper here

[severe glade]

They could just use a proxy service like Tenso to ship stuff that can’t be shipped directly to the US.

Such a waste of luggage space 😢

[little jewel]

I live in Brazil and we have 92% import tax on anything shipped internationally to there

[severe glade]

Oh damn 💀

[little jewel]

calculated on top of goods + s&h

[severe glade]

Nvm

I hope you’re family treats you very well after you arrive back

[little jewel]

and my sister got like
