I'd prefer the field in Nara, closer to station friendlier more casual fun players
But if you prefer closer to Osaka then this one
I'm all down
outdoor would be fun. Just have to remember to wake up on time 
I went to Nara last year so should be fine
Let's gooooo we can meet in Nara station, I'll update you on the field reservation later. For the unit I got M4 and a pistol Beretta you can use it
Hi, I'm Kelvin, 28M from California
I'm free on Oct 7, 8, 11 and a bit of the 12th in Tokyo, and 9. 10 in Nikko
this is my 4th time in Japan so I'm looking for activities that align more with my hobbies vs visiting the more touristy spots
I'm interested in: bouldering, music (jam sessions, small concerts, jazz bars), trying new food, biking and photo walks!
feel free to DM to coordinate something or if your group is looking for an extra person!
hey, saw your DM but it makes more sense to keep it in here I think. Unfortunately I think we won't overlap in Nikko; I'll arrive in the evening, staying overnight but mostly visiting the 11th
Is anyone else gonna be in Osaka 24-31 Oct and wants to meet up?
In Osaka from the 29th for Halloween
Oh nice!
Let's meet Osaka I'm available every weekend
I’m free the 29th actually so do you wanna do something in the evening?
Damn I’ll miss you. I’m around the 26th or 27th but I’m in Hiroshima the weekend following
Headed out to Seoul November 2nd, so won't be around the weekend
No major plans for Osaka, but was thinking of going to USJ for horror nights
I had that earmarked for the 29th or 30th if I’m honest haha
I'm probably checking out nara the 29th, and free in the evening
not much of a partier but I could do food 👀
Hah, nice. Be cool to get a group going there. From chatting to folks last year who were there for Halloween, sounded fun
I need to pick where I'm sleeping in osaka 😅
but if it's gonna be big party weekend maybe I'll choose the hotel that's more out of the way 😬
Osaka is a party place all the time 😅
horror
I mean I don't care if people are partying as long as it's not directly under my windows 😂
Continuing our trend of missing eachother. I’m in Nara 28th
Supposedly
That part is flexible tbh im in Osaka the whole week it was just what I earmarked
I might be in osaka the 28th, but I think I'll delay in katsuura to go check out the insane cave onsen hotel
But if we’re in USJ 30th then I can move Nara to 29th
Just don't stay near Dotonbori so 😅
Osaka is definitely a party city. It's got a different vibe to other Japanese cities. Great for day trips, but you can do any sightseeing in Osaka quick enough.
but near dotonbori is best for transportation 👀
I mean I guess the little streets don't all have tons of bars and loud people
Ah look, it'll be fine wherever you stay
I want to go there too
Dotonbori is overated I think
First time, second time, the third time it gets kinda boring
Hi. Is there anyone who would like to go to Uji (Tea Ceremony)/ Nara on 07th October or go to Shimanami Cycling Route on 12th October?
From my last trip, I have never seen anything like the gender ratios in Osaka clubs 😂
Sheesh
Hey, I'd be interested in a tea ceremony in Uji on the 7th, was planning to do Nara a different day but could do it all together. If we get a few people together we could go as a group, I was looking at Taihoan but open to suggestions 🙂
Also, 28M and travelling with my 27F wife and we're from the UK
I am going to Taihoan in the morning and then going to Nara for the remainder of the day.
07th make sense because they serve special tea which is only 4 times a month. Would be happy if both of you join. I am travelling solo and 28, M from India.
If there are other people, I can check for group reservation.
Hi all! Partner and I are traveling in Japan and would love to meet up! 28/29 Canada and US.
Tokyo 10/4-10/7
Osaka 10/7-10/10
Kyoto 10/10-10/14
TBD?? 10/14-10/18
Planning on getting drinks in Golden Gai night of 10/04 when we land, if anyone is down!
i’m staying in Shinjuku on 10/4, probably down to meet up for drinks in Golden Gai with y’all then!
also down! 🙂
You mean evening 3rd continuing into night 4th right?
Oops, I meant the evening of the 4th!
Ok thats clear 🥰
i'll add Golden Gai to the meetups spreadsheet so we can all coordinate and see if others are interested!
i've only been to Golden Gai once so don't know the area super well, anybody have recs for good bars/izakayas?
I went on a drinking/nightlife tour that ended there last year, Bar Lonely (I think that's the name), was cool! but we had the most fun wandering and popping into random bars 🙂
i'm definitely game for wandering and checking out any places that look fun!
Golden Gai is neat to walk thru and maybe pop in a tiny izakaya but it's pretty crowded and some places are expensive
ages later but: have booked for 4pm on same date! for others who were interested, don't hesitate to grab yours too. It'll be crowded but that's the borderless experience 😅
Does anyone here have any plans for a party in Halloween or any suggestions
I should be here from 2-6th
still figuring out all my plans
pretty much planned resturants and my hotel but need to figure everything else out still
I will be in Ueno
Hey, I've added it to the meetup spreadsheet but planning Karaoke on Thursday 3rd Oct in Shinjuku, probably at Big Echo, send me a message/friend request if you'd like to join 🎤
Hi! I'm a solo traveler from Sweden and will also be in Tokyo the same date as you guys!! I would love to meet up and explore the city! 😁
@wide moth sounds great, let's explore together! ☺️
Can I get in on this
solo traveler from CA and will be in Tokyo for the last week y’all are there.
I mean the more the merrier right? 😍 @lucid frost @coarse ermine
Hi, Solo traveller from Canada, I will be in tokyo from Oct 22-Nov2. 4th time here, I will be doing a bunch of walking tours in the city of tokyo, yokohama, and kamakura if peeps are down. I will doing a variety of theme walks such as coffee shops, jazz bars, etc
I'm in! 
I'll most likely be in Osaka by then! 😁
there's a plan of a plan on the spreadsheet, I'm assuming details will be discussed closer to the date
Room for one more? Halloween at USJ sounds absolutely epic 😯
Definitely
Be neat to get a group going for that
Awesome
Ye would be cool to do Halloween at USJ w/ a group 😊
I created a meetup here for the curry fest @fallen crypt @blissful imp i figured people could just ping that channel on a day they want some curry
I'll be in Tokyo 9/28-1 and then back in Tokyo 10/10-13, so I'll try to keep an eye out on this group to see if anyone is around during the same time
@agile jungle look at the pins here
I am in Tokyo from 09/28 to 10/01
I just saw someone post that it is going to be raining that entire week, including those days, so I am now trying to see how I can adjust my schedule to accomodate some of that expected rain haha
I saw the weather. It says rain on 09/27 and 09/28. But remaining days are fine. Maybe I am reading it wrong
that's what I originally saw too, but I think maybe that was just japan in general and not specifically tokyo
oof the weather predictions do not spark joy
i get there on the 28th, please tell japan to play nice for 30 days
I get in the 28th as well. At least it looks like the worst of it happens on friday the 27th
anyone want to try one of those pachinko places where you cash out at a tuck shop around the corner? i want to check it out but not alone haha
either in osaka or tokyo
Ooo I might join for a few, wanted to see what it's like inside those parlors
i'll be in osaka between oct 3-10 and tokyo from the 12-28th approx
Lets check it out in osaka, I'm there from oct 2-6
For Oct 3 I'll be mia at approx 10pm. Have to join a meeting for my workplace >.>
great dm me after the 3rd, maybe we can go on the 4th or 5th
i just sent you a dm
👌
Not sure if it was just the gaijin experience or what happened, but last time i tried pachinko i "won big" (doubled my money, after considering what i had already spent) cashed out, went across the street, and left with almost exactly what i had started with before winning
I’m hosting a special live music event on the 7th, please come along to meet a few more people from here
https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/DADlhStSbGQ/
any of my october peeps have a ubigi promo code?
SU3YD1SF
I used your code
Awesome. I am glad it still worked. I forget what the discount is when using the code. Like 20%?
I forgot to even look lol. It was a couple bucks
got plan for 6th at osaka?
woo! reserved a ticket. do they prefer cash for payment or is card okay?
Thank you! This venue takes cards
awesome, lookin' forward to it.

#october message
Would be fun to go to this pop punk show if anyone is keen
Anyone want to go kart around Osaka between October 4-9?
I am having the worst time packing for the entire month of october send help 😂 gotta be ready for 30C but also 10C but also rain but also sun but....
Umbrella does alot for the rain.
not for hiking
but for sure will have one
you can always buy stuff there.
of course and I definitely will ;) but I wanna carry a minimal amount of stuff around, so I need to plan things that multitask well
i'm packing super light but not planning any crazy hikes
Pack light, coin laundry's are everywhere. It's gonna be warm most of the time in October.
I usually like to pack about 1 weeks worth of clothes
that way I don't feel like I constantly have to do laundry
I also end up using it as padding for anything I buy coming back from japan
I'm mostly annoyed the weather will be too warm for jeans, because they're what I live in. skirts and shorts are so much less versatile
I am 100% in jeans for almost my entire life as well
but when I was in japan last sept, I couldn't do it
especially cause I was in charge of carrying all of the luggage everywhere we go
and I always have a backpack on me
I had to switch to shorts
I did jeans for golden week and they were perfect 😔
apparently shorts aren't a thing in japan, but fuck it
I am only bringing one pair of shorts with me this trip to get me by
Lululemon pants are p good for breathability and looking not too casual
and then will probably check out the uniqlo there to see what they have
I don't think I've ever worn sweatpants as outerwear literally in my life 👀
yeah same I think I'll pack my long linen muji skirt, and shop for something at uniqlo. otherwise I'd be shopping at uniqlo now pre-trip so.... may as well do it there 😂
there was a pair of really nice trousers at muji this summer that I resisted buying and now I have regrets :P
come visit california, itll become apart of your normal wardrobe
I've literally gotten weird looks on the subway wearing them home from a sports class when I was too lazy to change
C'est en France?
oui :D
(I know that makes me sound like one of the rejected subreddit posts 😂 and tbh I don't care, but it's true it's really not a thing here)
See this was the one thing about British culture I took with me
I didn’t care it was the ‘bougie’ area. Let me wear my sweatpants in peace thank you
tbh I find jeans more comfortable! I hate elastic waistbands a lot 😬
but they aren't very compatible with temperatures above 24ish
Jeans?! I was planning on finding some in Japan cause none I find I like
yes! not any pair. it has to be the RIGHT pair. and finding the right pair is hard. but when it's just right :P
LA is so casual you could go out in your pajamas and most people wouldn’t bat an eye
Might be a little chilly in October for that…
I hope so
If you’re not in Japan yet, please get a role that isn’t ’visitor in Japan’ id:customize
Exactly
will it? I've been seeing stuff that says it'll be around 30C and I definitely don't want jeans for that 😬
Yeah the first week is forecasted for 30ish and rainy lol
It was shorts weather yesterday, so unless it switches real fast you got at least a week of it
I’m not in Japan rn but my Tokyo friends are remarking at how it finally feels like summer is over
my understanding is that even 30 degree highs would be nice compared to summer temps 😬 but anyway I'll wear a pair of jeans anyway because I don't wanna take the plane in shorts, ew
I mean id just change upon arrival anyway lol
oh of course lol more of a question of wil lI even wear them there
I am hoping that the rain is light, which it seems like it will be for the first week of october
if you need stuff, buy it there
i purposely packed pretty light
will probably wash some stuff when im there if needed
How about 6th?
Would you all say that October is the rainy season in Japan?
No that is June
September is pretty rainy (with typhoons) and October catches the tail end of that
Is anyone else going to NJPW King of Pro Wrestling in October?

Last year I came the final two weeks of October and was with friends from Southern California. I'm from Michigan. I was in shorts and t-shirt, they were in sweatshirts. So it does depend on where you are from

👋
Hi y'all anyone in Osaka late October or Tokyo/Kyoto early Nov? I'll be going Osaka->Towards Kyushi->Kyoto Area->Tokyo Area
Sorry, maybe tmi but hopinh everyone has a great trip and maybe our paths intersect
Theres a pinned spreadsheet where people also share their plans if you wanna add/check who you overlap with
Any suggestions on shorts/pants from uniqlo that would work well with the humid weather in early october?
this actually looks pretty similar to my list, the brands too haha
although, you're bringing softshell pants? isn't that kinda overkill
Hey, I'll be in Japan(mostly tokyo) from the 11. Oct to 2. Nov with a couple friends. Feel free to DM me if anyone want to meetup/bar hopping/eat some good food.
28M from Norway working in InfoSec
As a fellow Brit, I totally agree… Comfort over anything else 🫡
Also in Hiroshima from tomorrow until the 1st and then in Kyoto if anyone wants to hang and do anything? 29F from the UK and currently solo travelling 🙂 Oh and if anyone has any recommendations cool coffee shops that specialise in drip coffee in those areas, please let me know!
Post your travel plans in the Google Sheet and check where your plans overlap with others 🙂
Fellow Norwegian here that might overlap your trip at least partially (13-26 Oct).
I've got some plans for meetups for the Tokyo lap of my journey, but not so much for Kyoto and Osaka if you're in those cities
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1EJYYoTmg89LyyDmuzPkVjPy9ruNSSkvZc_9sDmrDhOI/edit?gid=0#gid=0
Hey
Imma be in Kyoto from October 2-5. Lemme know your plans?
Absolutely. I will be in shorts 100% of the time 😂
shorts for hiking when it's warm sound nice. until you read too many comments about centipedes and snakes and hornets and mmmm covering the legs
That should work. Dm me and let’s set it up
Probably but I run cold and I'll be into mid nov
Wore jeans last October and was perfect, trying some lighter stuff, I'll get some leggings if I'm cold
Sry never got Uniqlo pants can never find my size, 31 34 is tough to find
32 usually too lose and I don't want a belt
Tall skinny life 🤷♂️
.... lemme go find the picture of why I don't wear uniqlo pants
could smuggle a whole bag of oranges back there
they are evidently cut for different genetics than mine 😂
finally flight then we're in japan 👀
What's everyone planning for their first meal after landing? I land on my birthday and I still haven't decided what to do/eat 🥹
is there anyone doing anything for Halloween while in japan I'm landing on the 24th and looking for something to do on halloween
Yes there will be cool events. But they will probably start to be announced this coming week
If you check the pinned msgs there’s a spreadsheet with info about meetups!
oh thanks
hmmm i see I'll wait then still not sure if i want to try and find something similar to a rave or just a chill night out
just added to the spreadsheet
fami chicken at a familymart
but for your birthday treat yourself to some good yakiniku
LOL the chicken is def on my list. Yakiniku and sushi are probs the main contenders for now
when are you landing in japan?
10/25! I’m landing in NRT and am hoping to be in Tokyo/ueno area by 4-5pm
Ramen 🍜
ohh thats a perfect timing NRT to tokyo station is like a 1h30 min ride to tokyo if i remember correctly and it you'll be right on time for dinner
ichiran or something else LOL
ichiran would most often have long line
Yeshhhh, that’s what I was thinking but I’ll probs want to chill for an hour to decompress after traveling for 12 hours lmao. Tbh I want to do an open invite for whoever would like to join but idk if ppl would be down to have dinner at like 7pm 😂
Oh dang thanks for the heads up lol
Ichiran mentioned 🤬
ill join you i land on the 24th so ill already be in tokyo
as long has i can get a sour lemon
Omg awesome!!! I'll add it to the Google sheets then 😆 and heck yah lemon sours all around
why does ichiran get hate lmao
Because it is aggressively mid ramen at a premium price
and it is both funny and baffling to see tourists lining up for it
i couldnt find your name on the spreadsheet
the only ichiran i did was in kyoto i think and there was no line up but after i did other ramen shop never step a foot at an ichiran after
just added it! I'm also under ness.ro lol
if anyone else wants to join in for my 30th bday everyone is welcome ❤️
oh found it
30th!!! Im so young around people here 
it’s ok we’re all young at heart (im also in denial)
I'm 20 turning 21 in December while in japan so ill eed to find something to do too
I turned 30 this week and I’m still alive it’s okay
I am the events person here so I can find a cool party for your birthday
Happy late or in advance birthday habo
Oh that would be soo cool it's still in a while so got time
Happy late birthday!!! When I say im in denial it’s because I still feel like im not mature enough to be 30 😂
If only I had the social battery to be a partyperson
I’m a social introvert so I’ll be social amongst people and then I’ll need to go nonverbal for like a day to recharge
you're not an introvert if you don't have battery saving mode installed
I usually enjoy being around people but just listening but if I get drunk I'm an extrovert and talk to everyone until I start to sober up then I go back into my shell
After a while I need a break tho
ssammmeee
I share the struggles
I can def relate to this haha
#1288422585016782899 if anyone else is interested
Reminder I am hosting a special live music show on October 7th. Please come!
https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/DADlhStSbGQ/
Gonna be in Hiroshima tomorrow evening 9/29 and until 10/2. 25F lmk if you wanna meet up for drinks or a meal 😋
Sounds good will shoot you a DM 🙂
Will shoot you a DM
@vagrant pine Sure
Unagi at Narita ometsando. Affordable and top quality unagi by the airport
Is there a specific place you recommend? I searched the area and it looks like there’s a ton of places
Went here last time
Very good
Kawatoyo Narita
+81 476-22-2711
Surugaya
+81 476-22-1133
This has good ratings as well but didn't go here
Have fun !
The senbei crackers at Narita ometsando is pretty good too
Amazing thank you so much!! I’ll probably stop by the day I fly home since it won’t be until the evening 😁😁
Touchdown in Japan!
Great question. Maybe Coco Curry, Ichiran (to get it out of the way), or grabbing an egg sando and famichiki
https://maps.app.goo.gl/WUuiWnA27gm7F1W56
^I flew zipair last time but this place was cute and had really juicy karaage
Does anyone know good Coco Curry place in Japan? Preferably vegetarian.
Coco Ichibanya does vegetarian curries 🙂
Thank you!
Sup and random question, how's the weather usually at Japan (tokyo and maybe osaka/kyoto area) in Oct? I'm planning to head there on Monday from thailand (only packed shorts/no sleeves for thailand so far 😅 )
if you wanna go monday, you can look it up, the weather predictions are out :P
Damn all us kamikochi lot just miss eachtoehr . I’m going on the 21st
I've been to neither, but are you interested in the Osaka day trips? if not, probably not worth it
anyone meeting up for halloween in tokyo? or surfing in chiba at the start of November?
We almost could have organised a hiking gang lmao
I’m very annoyed haha. Hiking is so much more fun with people and we all miss eachtoehr by 3-5 days each
Typical 😉
Exactly can’t imagine hiking a place like that solo
I knew I had to go to kamikochi after seeing a couple pics of it like wow
I’m doing almost exactly what you’re doing btw 😉 3 days in Nagano
And then a week in Osaka to do the day trips
But I’m going later due to foliage
(Kamikochi is supposed to be in bloom from 21st Oct which is why I’m going there)
Right?
Yeah guess the scenery will be stunning at that point
Yup just
I am in Kamikochi on 16th!
^ my point haha
I’m thinking should I just postpone kamikochi to December when it’s snowing because it‘ll probably be even nicer
Plus skiing
Lol I’ll be heading back by then
IMO either go in foliage season or snow
But i know nothing
I’m just basing it off of videos lol
Osaka day trips let's go
I’ll be there 24-31st
Copy that
But I haven't really explored Osaka yet, couldn't find the time
Still winging it with the last min hotel bookings 😅 , but planning to be there around 5th/6th-8th after kyoto
Where r u currently living / staying in Japan?
lol yeah, i havent planned anything yet, too, and i'm suppose to fly off on monday. First time going, so just winging it, since it's on the way back from thailand.
Nah the best plans are always impromptu
Overplanning every detail just kills the excitement
I'm the 18th hahaha we can do a full gradient of the leaves turning between all of us
Igashi mie prefecture
Around 1hour half from Osaka by train
Does anyone know of good hiking trails around Tokyo/Kyoto/ Fukuoka?
nakasendo
I hear Kurama-Kibune near Kyoto is good. Also for Tokyo, if you don't mind going a little further out, Okutama has some good hiking options (Mukashi Michi trail, Hatonosu gorge, a bunch of nearby mountains you can summit too)
Oh sick. Well DM me if you wanna link up at the time 🙂
I’m also flying zip air! Added this to my list, ty !!
#1278308926684790875
Thank you!! Okutama looks beautiful, I’ll def try and wander over there
How long is too long on the bidet? Asking for a friend
If you start to grip the walls you’ve gone too far
Hey fam, im travelling to japan soon and am keen to purchase volleyball match tickets. Im trying through the v league website but it errors out at payment. has anyone had any success for buying volleyball tickets? even resale ones?
Have you contacted your bank? If it’s an overseas transaction they might be declining it or perhaps the website doesn’t accept the card you’re using
Absolutely try what ness mentioned and worst case see if the tickets are available on another site?
I did Nagatsukawa-Nagiso two days ago, it was pretty nice (well, except the heat/humidity...)
There's a lot of bear warnings, but not sure if they're an actual problem
I do it in 2.5 weeks and I really hope the weather has chilled by then 😅
will do. thank you
try booking it on the teams website that's how I got mine
It was already night when I arrived in Nagiso, but I left Nagatsukawa quite late
I'm thinking of taking the bus to magome to start
Really which team? sunbirds just takes me to the v league site
that site doesn't work for me so I booked with Tokyo Great Bears
Not sure what other people's plans are but my wife and I will be in Kyoto 22nd - 25th, Osaka 26th - 28th and Tokyo 29th - 1st of Nov and we would love to meet up with some westerners to do karaoke. Feel free to DM
@signal sundial I m also thinking of going to Nagano on the 8th. Will be in Kanazawa before that. Let know if u end up going.
Anyone down to hang out in Osaka today?
May want to put that in the sept meetup
Np lol
So I realized on my second day that napkins aren’t really a thing in japan. They give you the wet towel at the beginning then if you’re a messy eater you just looks silly with food on your face.
Oh no 🥶 thanks for the heads up
Anyone who is doing cycling on Shimanami Kaido on either 09th or 10th or 11th? Furthermore, anyone who is going to TeamLabs Planets tomorrow?
Bring tissues or your own napkins to dinner 🙂
they do have, its just thin n kinda waxy.. LOL
Many places do have napkins just depends
Napkins!
I’ve only been here for two days so I can’t say for everywhere but the less casual places I’ve been don’t give you napkins. The causal chains have them
I’m sure if I request napkins they would bring some. I think haha.
Flying to osaka tomorrow! Cant wait 
Kyoto Oct 7-15
Tokyo Oct 16-25
Heading to Hiroshima tomorrow. Anyone there want to get Hiroshima style okinomiyaki? I’m going to miyajima and spending the night then I’ll be in Hiroshima proper
Make sure to get some oysters in Miyajima
Definitely. I want to eat the local cuisine during my stops. In Kyoto I had obanzai and it was epic 👌
I could eat that every day
The spot I recommend for good oysters
Now you can try oysters in a variety of ways, but personally eating them raw is by far the best
Awesome thanks
I'm thinking of going to a couple art museums in tokyo, if anyone is interested to join (12-16th). I'm looking at mori arts center gallery, museum of contemporary tokyo art.... open to other suggestions too
I just wanna see some fun stuff :D
lmao
Spending Halloween evening in Osaka, anyone else?
Anyone in Shinjuku
Shinjuku is hopping right now
If you like ramen I would recommend going here.
https://maps.app.goo.gl/Np51Fn3JHnxUBfwy9
Unrelated to what you asked

Looking to see if anyone is interested in splitting the cost of a guide to hike the Nakasendo Trail going from Magome to Tsumago on Tuesday, Oct 15.
Honestly that’s a pretty straightforward hike with good sign postings, you could totally do that without a guide if you felt comfortable
If you’re keen on saving money ^^ if you can afford it then go for it
Sry mate, 22+23
I’d be interested in mori.
Not sure I’ve ever had Chinese ramen before. How does it differ?
Anyone know any good places to see tuner car scene, like show/meetups
I know Akihabara has a scene, but don't know specifics :/
you need a car to get to daikoku or any other PA like umihotaru or tatsumi
some like to park around the electric town exit for a bit
Will be out of Japan by then but I rec 21_21 design sight. They had an interesting exhibition called pooploop about rethinking waste in the world and it was fun
21_21 DESIGN SIGHT
03-3475-2121
daikoku pa. There’s tours you can book online if interested
Anyone know where I can listen to some really good Japanese hip hop / rappers
Would anyone like to hang out in Osaka today, probably going to explore the arcades and osaka castle
@fading laurel how did you buy tokio Tokyo tickets for the 6th? There’s no option on their website
I’m not sure what show you are going to?
I’m not going to tokio Tokyo on the 6th
Hm was it the 5th you mentioned a pretty high key show?
I was trying to find tickets for the one you mentioned before
I’m going to a show every single day between 10/3 to 10/10 lol
You’ll need to be more specific
Do you mean the peanut butters? That’s on pia
And requires a Japanese phone number
you going to wang dang doodle on the 10th?
You can probably contact them or the organizer to save you a ticket
No I have to attend a concert
Milet
rip
😂 yeah it might be the peanut butters one, so GG for phone number.
But do you have the link for it? I’ll try contacting them
One week til the gig I am hosting!!!
https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/DADlhStSbGQ/
Will be running around in the Kyoto - Osaka area if anyone is interested in a meetup. 10/6 - 10/14
Let's do it. Im actually getting into a train rn
Does anyone here have a good recomm on where to buy cheap luggage in Osaka? Mine just broke in Kyoto station 🥲
Im not sure if its considered cheap, but I’ve always had good luck with Don Quixote’s selection
Cheers, gonna check that out
Says 28 feels like 22 though fuck I got burned
I still be there for a quick 2 nights on October 5-7th.. anyone want to meet ?
Get food or some thing? Lol
Anyone going to Kobe today? I’m heading there now
If you're tokyo you overlap with the oct 6 karaoke in ginza, open to anyone
A few luggage stores in the Namba centre shopping street I just walked past if don is too expensive
Nice, I'm actually in Namba trying to find a storage but all fulllll
A lot around here too little stores! You tried the station I assume?
Yeah, the fucking tourists took them all!! 🤡
Tourists are the worst! 😅
All my luggage is hand me down. How much is actually a good price? Ive seen everything from 8900 to over 20000 yen
I’m rocking my goodwill samsonite I got for 10 dollars 10 years ago 🤣
Any recommendations for arcades in Osaka?
Round1 is the massive one
There’s one near the big sex shop in denden I can’t remember for the life of me what it’s called
There some stuff in Shibuya at night, but everything else you need a car to get in
Chiba auto salon in January. Americamura in Osaka near triangle park
Those roads have a lot of JDM cars parked and people hanging outside talking, that’s a good place to go to meet people and find out local spots, maybe one will take you for a drive
There’s a bar in Nagasaki run by an ex drifter covered in JDM stuff and showing videos on the walls. He knows spots too if you go speak to him maybe can organise. I will get you the name
I saw some around Akiba last year
Is there anyone who will go clubbing this coming weekend? Around Tokyo 🙇🏻♂️
It's my last night in Osaka if anyone is around in the evening?
Hi! Is anyone in Shibuya at the moment?
Not atm but my partner and I will be going to Golden Gai tonight
lol this supra is always around akiba
I will be later today [also hello, I'm new]
Sure.
thanks for the rec!
Where is this karaoke?
Im going to do Mt.fuji day trip on Oct.6th. But assuming the karaoke at night, I will be able to make it
Karaoke Kan Ginza is the current plan
Yeah i figure it'd be evening. Probably start messaging prior to dinner in case anyone wants to grab something nearby beforehand
What are the good Discord people doing tomorrow in Tokyo? 😁
I actually been wanting to check out a club in Tokyo so I'd join you if you still want and need someone to go with
I will try to get up early and spend the day in Nikko.
Hey! Is anyone in Kanazawa this week? I have this friday open so I would be happy to get some drinks with other people:)

If my colleague didn’t join me on friday night, let’s find some spot around Shinjuku or Shibuya.

On my way!
Niceee omw
we are in now
We're inside
@vapid relic I’ll just be reaching Kanazawa on the 6th. Will miss literally by a day
Lemme know how it was. Also, are you planning on visiting Shirakawago go from there?
I'll be back in Tokyo for 10/03 to 10/10.
I may do some more foodie tours if people wish to join me
People, join this guy, he knows his Japan 👆🏽
Ooh i would be keen for this!
You're still dreaming of that cola I know it
I'm usually free during the day, but most of my stuff will be me wandering through various areas and showing good food spots.
Sometimes we'll go to paid attractions, but I don't do any of the expensive ones like team labs (unless someone wants to pay for me) since I've done them so much
I am indeed! You said that they have it at Lawsons or am I tripping?
Yeah some lawsons have it
Lets see the Lawsons here in Osaka
Would love to
I am in Tokyo tomorrow til the 12th
ohh I saw this car on my first night in Shibuya lol
Yeah I'll see what people want to do once I'm back in Tokyo
Most of my stuff is usually morning to afternoon stuff
I'm gone by like 4-5 PM usually because I have a music show or concert to go to
I have a show every day from 10/3 till 10/10
Ah, you perform?
Oh 😂
Got a last minute Pokémon cafe reservation for tomorrow 10/2 at 8:05pm. Does anyone want to join? The reservation is for 2 people.
Landed in osaka at night, taking train to hotel, im gonna reach there by 1am 😩
@shadow oasis oh heck you still got the spot?
Sorry scratch that im assuming its for tokyo
Oh he performs alright
Give him a couple thousand yen and you’ll have yourself a show
✨ I packed ✨
I mean I leave tomorrow so it's not like there was much time left but I am freee
(sorry for making this my blog but you've all seen my various stress over the past few months so :P )
Let’s gooooo!! Finalized my packing last night and I’m boarding my flight in an hour lmao
have a good flight!
You too 🙂 when the time comes ofc
Hmm heads up if you’re flying out of the states, they want you to fill out the immigration and customs QR codes before boarding instead of on flight or at one of the Japanese airports like how it used to be
We have arrived at Tokyo!!! Excited to be here once more. With @forest zenith @steel briar &+1
Yeah it’s for Tokyo sorry 😅
Friday night would work. Seen vids of Warp and would wanna go there but open to other ideas
Has anyone done/will do pokemon cafe? Trying to determine if it's worth it to try and snag a reservation
@earnest cobalt we did it 5 years ago and it is worth it, if you go for the hype. The food was decent quality, nothing special. But the ambiance was pretty nice. We went to the Tokyo DX one.
Will try to get a reservation again, this time Osaka has preference.
Ooooo ok got it, thank you!!
Doing it first day of my trip
I can try and help people book it tbh
Pretty good at getting reservations I want
Just wondering, if anyone’s missed the opening of reservation for the Kirby cafe on the 10th of the month, has anyone had luck getting cancellations?
Omg I’d appreciate that if possible! How does it work with transferring?
Oh i would like to go to this, is it still available?
Doesn’t, would need your name and info if you were willing to let me help you lol
But that’s up to you to give a stranger
LOL valid, if anything do you have any helpful tips or tricks?
Ctrl +r a lot
The x:00 tickets are near impossible to get
The batch that gets let go at x:20 is way easier
Just inserting myself in this convo, have multiple devices if possible! Or friends willing to help lol. And be on the screen to select how many persons right before it hits time of release! I’d say practice this before the day you want lol, I’ve stayed up til 3 am clicking and refreshing.
Thank you both!!! Hopefully this also works for the Ghibli museum lmao 🥲
Okay, I will inform you here after my work on friday. Do you have anyone to invite?
I finally announced the full lineup for the show I'm hosting on Monday. Please come along for some awesome pop punk, emo, and more
https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/DAk2KdmSgCr/
Clips of all artists in the post
Oh will do 😂
Go to Japan, and of course we bring some games 😅
Anyone going to Yokohama today?
Anything particular going on in Yokohama or just wanted to sightsee and explore?
Exploding Kittens ❤️ the other one never had the chance to play with friends since I had to explain like the cards, since they suck at english 
Yokohama was one of my favorite days in my one month trip
The entire water front area is gorgeous
The North Korean sub spy museum
Bay stars game
Nissan museum
Chinatown had some AMAZING Sichuan food for cheap too
Parks are gorgeous
I didn’t care for the red brick building stuff, it’s just shopping
I did a chocolate tasting with a coffee pairing too
Explore and sight see
Thanks for these extra places
Yokohama was so nice 🙂 oji san took me there, we just did loads of sightseeing and off to chinatown for some cheap bites.
I'm down to go anytime after 12pm if you need someone to tag along. I'm working right now and planned on visiting Yokohama so might as well make it today
Oh I’m already hereLOL
That is a bummer! In the boxes are also Love Letter and Who is it Harry Potter.
Nevermind then I don't think you'd want to wait to meet up then since I realistically wouldn't get there til like 2 or 3
Yea no worries
Fa sho have fun exploring Yokohama. Seems like a cool place but was tired from seeing the Gundam last year and going to the Cup Noodle museum
Yahallow
I’m currently here. What are you going to do here?
Cup noodle museum currently
Anyone up for anything in osaka tonight?
Sure thing. What you have in mind?
After 5 sounds good
Awesome ill dm u near that time
Sure thing
Enjoy there. Try to visit china town too
Wish there was a better way to see the docks working, the marine tower is a bit far
Hey! If anyone is in Kyoto later today, I’m planning to head here after 5pm for some rooftop views of the city: https://maps.app.goo.gl/igRN8Uzw4bJKbUy9A?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy
Both hotels I’ve been to on this trip don’t have top sheets on the bed. Is that not a thing in japan ?
like, there's nothing but pillows?
Heading to Tokyo today! Will be there just for a few days. Down to meetup with anyone there now 🙂
do you mean the thin sheet that hangs out under the comforter in a western hotel
Going to Hiroshima tomorrow, hit me up if anybody wants to hang out! 30M from Denmark
Yeah the sheet that goes between you and the comforter
The fitted sheet is there just no top sheet
Oh I’ve been there! The view during sunset was awesome
Yes it is!
Wait is this a normal thing in every day life because I only ever thought they did this in hotels
I don’t think they do, when I went to Tokyo/Kyoto last year neither hotel I stayed at had that sheet
Not just in Japan too, I think it’s becoming more frequent for hotels to not have that sheet
Wait what? Maybe translation goes bad here. But what I have is. Matras, cover, myself, blanket wrapped in sheet.
And you are talking about comforter(blanket) without a sheet around?
Nah comforters do have that wrapped sheet in my experience at least, but there used to be a separate sheet between the comforter and fitted sheet that i’ve been seeing less of in hotels
Aha ok, never saw that in my life 😅
Not only normal it’s totally abnormal not to. If you had someone spend the night and you didn’t have a top sheet they may turn around and not spend the night.
We go mattress, mattress pad/ protector, fitted sheet, me, top sheet, comforter/ blanket.
O damn, never had that. Not in a hotel, nor a hostel, at anyone else or at home.
Matress pad ok, but never a top sheet.
Comforter is wrapped in a sheet/cover. But nothing between me and that cover.
Hostels make you put the sheets on yourself. Normal hotels don’t though
This channel is for meetup planning and discussion 🙏🏻
Cryingggggggggg, I feel like I just got called out for being uncivilized 😭😂😂😂
Maybe it's because I'm asian? That's definitely not something I grew up doing but my parents were born in a country where the humidity was like 100% every day
LOL Brazil here, and we def dont have this amount of sheets
Probably the heat-humidity too
And poverty?
no, cuz american hotels dont wash their comforters
and people have multiple sheets so they dont wash comforters only wash the sheets
so... judge for yourself if thats civivlized or uncivilized... LOL
If anything I always change all the sheets if I have someone staying over 😭😂
That's so smart though because I use a duvet and I wanna cry every time I have to wash it
Anything going on in Shinjuku tonight? Anyone wanna meet up for drinks?
If I'm not too tired from shopping I'll send a DM and see if you still want to get drinks
Until what time? I want to join since I will work from home tomorrow
I won’t be back in the area until 10p. I’m staying in shinjuku so I’m good stay out until whenever
Do you know warp? If you can stay until morning, it would be worth it
If I will join tonight, I will travel from Yokohama so it will take 1 hour to get there
Last year when u was in Tokyo, a group of us from this discord when to eat an AYCE yakitori and drink. Anyone know that restaurant by any chance and if anyone want to do that on Sunday? Lol
I probably will be going out but not sure where yet.
Shinjuku club tier list is Space > Zero Tokyo > Warp
I have dinner is akasaka but after dinner I will be going out
Have you check warp shinjuku? I’m not sure if space shinjuku is good
Personally first night here so other than recs I am blind
Warp shinjuku has great vibes but not sure during weekdays
I don’t like the crowds at Warp
Mostly annoying people looking to get laid/drunk
Space is much smaller and more about the music, so the people are cooler and easier to talk to
I see. Is it around shinjuku?
Thanks. Are you joining tonight?
No I have work 🥲
I’m down to check out space @lofty hemlock
Okay, until what time you will be joining?
Holy cow there are TONS of shisha places in osaka namba
I thought tokyo was the only one
I probably can make it but I will confirm later
Not sure about that restaurant but I'm down for any AYCE!
My buddy and I might be. Still figuring out where we should go on halloween
my hotel is in within walking distance from Space so I can stay out until whenever(most likely will be 2am tho)
About 90000 of them in Tokyo
Sounds way better
Anybody wanna link up in Shibuya this evening? I was thinking of going to abroad in Japans secret bar!
Sounds like a few of us will be in shinjuku tonight
Oh, could I join you guys there instead then? @calm ember
@lofty hemlock @shadow oasis
Depending on what time, might be able to join for ayce
Sure, no problem. I will also message after my work if I’m sure on joining tonight
I may join for this^
Hmm if everyone is making moves to go out together tonight I think I'll just rest until it's time to go out to Space or wherever tonight?
Sure, no problem. The more the better 🙇🏻♂️
I may have no sleep tomorrow but I will work from home 🥱
I’ve never been clubbing before so this might be amazing or awful LOL
Enjoy the drinks n music and dont worry about how other ppl think of u 🫡
Definitely don’t go to warp then lol
Might also be interested in joining in on this
I thought warp is the best club in shinjuku 🤣
Luckily Space is only an hour long walk back to my hotel tonight if we're all staying out late 😅
Until what time is space then?
I mean what time is the closing
11pm
Says in the post #1224130537921319074 message
Not much all-night on a Wednesday
You will either love it or hate it, nothing in between 😂😂
So when do people wanna meet up? Grabbing something to drink and doing a little pre game before the club?
Does someone want to make a seperate thread for tonight so we can organize it a bit better since it seems like a lot of people are interested
Still have room for 1 more? Interested in joining the fun tonight
I'm gonna take a small nap before the festivities tonight. I'll check this thread in a bit and see more deets about how we can meet up before Space or try our luck in the venue yelling out our discord names to find each other
How much is the capsule? I don’t think I can go back to Yokohama at 11pm
It’s either walk on street or take capsule room 🍺
Gran Customa Internet Cafe you can lay down in Shinjuku I believe
lol. Funny enough I checked into a business hotel tonight and tadaaaaa. They have a top sheet on the bed lmao. 🤷♂️
How do you do that haha? 😅
Lets do AYCE yakitori. More info will be provided lol
Anyone in Osaka tonight who wants to go for drinks? 👀
Hi where are you guys in shinjuku
Somewhere in Kabukicho I think
Well start in golden gai after that who knows! 😁
yoo where in Osaka are you? I just arrived in Namba today.
Heyyo, I'm in Namba too
We are out and about already. Where u at
We also in Namba, group of 4 at a Jazz bar now but probably leaving soon
Im at the bridge where the glico man's at, meeting up with @stable python, where are you heading after?
No idea yet, we paid 2.5k to be here, so we sticking until the last song!! (which is in 10). I'll let u know
I'll ask ur whereabouts as well
Alrighties! Enjoy your last few mins there lol
Yeah there's not much info on the web. I've heard Dotonbori gets crowded, but I also read that it's just people kinda standing around in costumes ? Not sure if that's accurate though
Where are people rn 👀
Interest in going to a karaoke?
Why tf is jiyugaoka so goated
Thanks’
i'm hoping to go to namba bears in osaka on friday if anyone's interested in checking out some gnarly bands 😁
or late night maimai at one of the arcades around nipponbashi 
I wanna go to namba bears, man!
Can we just walk in or do we need to make reservations? @ornate quest
Hi everyone! Long time lurker of this reddit to gather nice useful tips and finally going to Japan this weekend 🙌 (landing in Tokyo) . It is so nice to see there are lots of discussions over here too. I also filled the Google spreadsheet with some itinerary details so hopefully can meet somebody on the way!.
I wanted to check out this spot and Hokage as well, but couldn’t find much going on in Namba bears. The bar hokage Instagram has a lot more info
How was the jazz bar you guys went to, i tried bar 845 was good jazz spots
@stuck island I'll be solo in Osaka on Halloween and am still deciding on what to do that night
This was my only request to myself when I arrived here, so fed unfulfilled 😅 though caught a sick emo night at fire
@vocal flare hit me up if you find something fun 🥳
So good bro. I didn't even catch the bars name, but it's really close to one of Namba station entrances haha. It was small, 20$ entrance fee (kinda salty but worth it), 2h of joyful music, open mic/gig and in the end we were talking to a lot of people there
Think it might be the r same one
Sorry I didn’t catch you guys last night, after running errands I came back and worked on my sleep debt
A nap turned into 14 hours 😂
Woke up thinking I was in UK
👍 will keep in touch as it gets closer!
It was!!! Thanks for sending it, gonna write a review down ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Hahaha totally get you. I've been in Japan for a month now and I'm still jet-lagged
Osaka Halloween…. 😌
LOL nice!! Hope you get just as lucky with the rest of your stays 😂
Anyone visiting Kamakura today?
Nagoya isnt that bad
Tonight I am going to this gig!
https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/DAVZUunyUgu/
Gahhhhhhhh
I wish I could go with you
I want to see aina perform again
HI everyone! 34F and 32M Dutch couple looking to see if anyone's dates overlap with mine and are maybe interested in meeting up for a day, or joining for a hike 😄
- Hakone. October 6 Because this day has the best weather, we decided to go to Hakone here and take the Old Tokaido Road trail (about 6km), visit the shrine and torii gate at the end, then have dinner in the Fujiya Hotel. If anyone wants to join us, that would be great!
- Tokyo. October 8 I have some free time to browse around Akihabara! I'm in search for the mythical Final Fantasy music box.
- Matsumoto. October 9-10. On the 10th we're planning to take the Nakasendo Trail going from Magome to Tsumago, wouldn't mind sharing this with others!
- Kyoto. October 14-16. No plans are concrete here, can meet up!
- Osaka. October 18-19. Plans to go shopping for clothes and that's it.
- Kumamoto. October 22-24. We are going to rent a car to see the Kamishikimi Kumanoimasu shrine on one of these days (when it's hopefully not raining). Anyone want to see this gorgeous shrine in the forest?
No mention of October 7th but here’s the deal for that day #1224130537921319074 message
Is anyone in Hakone today or tomorrow?
Interested!
@cursive ermine anything good on tonight around Shimo?
#1224130537921319074 message
Don’t forget to do a reservation for the cheaper entrance price
Is anyone going to the Hitsujibungaku concert tonight in Tokyo?
Hmmm 7300 yen
4000 and I would have gone
Don’t know enough songs
I am actually
Cool!, do u wanna meet up?
Where are you atm?
DMing you
Are we supposed to be there when doors open or is the seat on our ticket?
Wasn’t super clear online
I bought my ticket through a 3rd party so I’m not sure if I got the same instructions as you 😓 I plan on getting there at 5:30p when doors open , I believe the show starts at 7pm
I should be there around 6 😭 my tickets have my seat in them it looks like
It’s alll seated
https://circus.zaiko.io/e/goodnight1018
biggest party I’ve ever done ! If you like breaks this is gonna be a big one !
Come check it out , presale link 🔗 on this message
U guys always have really great posters but why is the time and ticket price font always atrocious
I made it 
I just saw messages
I’m already inside and got merch
It’s very organized here
I’m over by the merch display area
I went to my seat but probably going to get a drink now
damn wish i knew about hitsujibungaku
if you want another concert to go to, check out hakushi hasegawa
theyre in shibuya on the 25th
Yeah doing hitsujibungaku today
And then Milet next week
MrT got a Japanese phone number to bypass all those ticket site restrictions and is making big use of it
Sadly not in Tokyo at that time
This entire week in Tokyo is non stop shows lol
theyre on tour so hes around japan currently
I am DJing at this gig on the 25th
https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/DAarYZ4yh-4/
Gonna be great fun
And you totally take requests right??!!!
Sure im too tired to make my own playlists anymore
Hahhahaha
I would have thought your vacation would have renewed the body and spirit
Though in the future I may want to just buy resale tickets for better seating
@fading laurel
-> to DMs
if any of these dates work with you
Oh I technically could do maybe 10/25 maybe
That’s if I don’t do Aimer
@shadow oasis where are you both sitting?
I’m fourth floor B section on the left Aiden
i'd suggest you listen to their music, before deciding. aimer is good too
I’ll give it a try though if they are a male vocalist, I won’t like it
4F! I may be too shy to say hello haha. Super excited to see my first concert here though : ) it’s my first trip to Japan.
Super stoked I got center seats
Sadly my phone too new for that stuff lol
No worries
This is my second show of theirs
I went to their Yokohama last month
Fiund out right before I came on vacation that I couldn't unlock phone for 60 days
Was the first good? I love their music
Pure insanity
Oh dang
Yeah it’s good stuff
I use a backup phone
I have an iPhone SE 1
I tried. I am missing sim card holder
It’s really old but it just needs to do texting and calling
Didn't realize that till I arrived
Yeah fortunately have a lot of old iPhones lying around
Hey guys! Is there any plan for osaka tonight? Or anyone down for drinks later?
I have an old samsung
@proper grail my view
I'm just hoping I can go to a rooftop bar after dinner
Oh wow that’s actually not bad
My back hurts soo badly atm
This is a nice venue
I’ll be back here next week
I got double milet
Is 20000 yen enough cash for 2 nights spending? I can also use card
Yeah should be fine
More than enough
Thanks. The currency exchange pretty good with Wise right now. $1 =147 yen
Any fellow FF14 fans here?
Hes a watchful protector
A silent guardian
A dark knight
😹😹😹
Maybe it's an order?
Heyyy im in Osaka for a month,im always down for a drink or going somewhere!
Bahaha
@sturdy stump a couple of us are gonna be there starting tomorrow, some are already ther e
Anyone in Kyoto tonight?
hey I’m in Osaka for a few days, would be down to check out a few bars
What do you mean the times are just regular club times
Also it’s expensive to rent out a venue as big as circus usually my parties are actually on the cheaper end
Also there’s 5 international acts that need to get paid
Anyone drinking in Tokyo tonight?
we're in shinjuku!
Hey, is someone in sendai by any chance?
You misunderstood him. He complained how it is written in the poster and not about the value I think
Ohh lmaoooo
Because that font was made by Paul Nicholson the guy who made the aphex twin / skrillex logos and the laughing man icon from ghost in the shell SAC
I didn't even know it said good night for the longest time until someone spelled it out here (still looks cool tho)
Oh the metal logo that’s just another reference
Lol 🤣 getting roasted over here
Enjoy the moving version
Theres a plan-ish in the schedule for 3/4/5, but most people will be in starting tomorrow, so the idea is do dontenbori the 4th (and 5th if all goes well)
@vernal kite im at an izakaya right now! You guys can join if you want or we go somewhere else?
Thanks for the info!
yeah man fs! I’ve just been exploring dotonbori a bit, where are u planning on heading after izakaya?
No plan tbh but provably end up at some bar lol. Im also in dotonbori right now
Where in Shinjuku I’m there in 40mins
I said the font bro
All good! Just hard to read that font think the posture would be perfect if that was diff
Soo we gettinng drinks now? 😅 @vernal kite @sturdy stump
yeahh I’m down
where u at rn?
@proper grail that was much better than Yokohama @shadow oasis
Right here
But might be leaving soon hopping to the next place @vernal kite
lmaooo I happen to be literally 10 seconds away
Hahaha come thruu
That was soo amazing
what u look like? I’m wearing jeans white shoes and carrying clear umbrella
Anti social social club shirt @vernal kite
Anyways I’m heading to the station and then back to my hotel
Anyone interested in going to Kinosaki Onsen tomorrow? I'm planning to do a day trip from Kyoto
We’ll be in Shinjuku tomorrow night. Who wants to join?
Okay. I will a post a thread tomorrow. We’re a group of 4
Where’s that?
2.5 hours north of Kyoto
Damn
Im there rn
But its probably rainy, been like that today too. I want to visit genbudo park tomorrow and if possible visit Takeno Beach, maybe go for a swim if weather allows for it
Omg can I join
Yesss perfect
Ah alright, I was thinking of just onsen hopping
@fallow hull @timid turtle
and anyone else who wants to check out namba bears on friday! idk if you have to buy tickets in advance...i was planning on just buying them at the door but i've never been so someone plz lmk if that's wrong!!!
i'll be walking around kyoto all day so i may be cutting it close getting to bears by 7 but my friend seems cool with cutting our kyoto sightseeing day a little short so i am currently still planning for bears!!!
It starts at 7 and you should be able to buy on doo
Door
can’t guarantee but that’s what it seems like
Sorry guys I think I'll need to bail on tomorrow @timid turtle @ornate quest 😢 lemme know if you feel like doing something during daytime or Saturday. You too my dawg @mortal jetty
I might be interested! Depends where I end up 😁
Okay bro. I will post a threat tomorrow so that anyone who wants to join will be updated.
Listened to several of his songs.
Interesting stuff, but not quite my cup of tea.
Same here, just depends on timing
Hey all! I’m going to be in Japan from 10/22-11/4. Specifically:
Tokyo: 10/22-10/25
Kanazawa: 10/25-10/27
Takayama: 10/27-10/29
Kyoto: 10/29-11/3
Tokyo: 11/3-11/4
Would love to meet up, get drinks, etc!
I’ll be here drinking and boozing and eating and then more drinking
Anyone been here ? Happy hour 700 yen drinks doesn’t look too bad just to have one or two for the view
Thank you to everyone who came out last night, the organiser is so grateful to have seen such a big crowd
https://fxtwitter.com/gogatsuhascome5/status/1841854319882338456?s=46
I'll be in Tokyo from 8 till 13 October. Would love to meet up for sight seeing or bars/clubs🙏🏼
@solemn patrol yea I have been there it’s amazing
I am going vinyl hunting if anyone would like to join me
Taking place across shibuya and shinjuku
And then foodie stuff
I'm down for lunch
Anything you want to eat?
Anything would be good, but if I have to chose, meat
Like red meat or seafood meat or either?
Where is your first stop on vinyl hunt?
3 stores in Shibuya and then 2 stores in Shinjuku
Shibuya has a HMV, Reco Fan, and Tower Records
Shinjku has Disk Union + HMV
And recoco cafe
For a snack
I'll join you next time. I have a date at 12 so not much time
Beef would be nice
Hmm the only things I can think of that would be beef would be yakiniku, shabu shabu, and teppanyaki
and beef bowls
I will have to say no to beef only because I've been eating wagyu for the last few days already 😄
Anyone up for doing random stuff in kyoto today? Rain made me lazy to move around 😂
Ah ^^ no problem, really I'd be happy to tag along for anything
(Though I'm on the bus from Fuji and it seems there are traffic jams popping up, so I'm not sure when I will arrive)
Ahh okay
You'll probably be a few hours then
This bad?
Not sure where you are exactly but it'll be awhile
Damn, ok, nevermind the lunch then ^^
Hey guys! I'm Tobes, Just landed in Tokyo last night - keen to meetup and explore Tokyo today if anyones free to meetup!
the oysters were awesome
hi guys today would be my last night in Tokyo and my flight would be tomorrow evening, I would be happy if there's any meet up this evening
For restaurants where you can't reserve for one person on tabelog, is that you can't eat there alone, or you can try without a reservation?
If anyone is in Osaka on Oct 16 and is interested in climate or environmental issues, I'm organizing a Green Drinks meetup - totally free - do stop by!
I just saw this ! would there be any plans tonight ?
Yay!
the grilled garlic butter ones 👌
Down! I’ll be in Shinjuku for the next two nights
Anyone down to go grab some dinner in Osaka tonight?
Ill be busy today n tomorrow 😩
Anyone gonna be in Kanazawa from 6-8
Hi. I am planning to go to Kinkakuji and Bamboo Forest in Kyoto tomorrow early in the morning. Should I go to Kinkakuji first and later to Bamboo forest or other way around?
If anyone else is doing the same itinerary, feel free to join.
You still on the bus?
Anyone going to the nintendo museum on 10/31?
Definitely depends on the restaurant. They could offer only walk ins for single parties
Sure
Early dinner like 5/6pm? 👀
Thats pretty normal dinner time
Right?
Just arrived in Osaka
Japan ramen hunt destroyed my food timing tho
@weary prawn we're here! Me and cfilho
9am ramen
11am ramen
2pm ramen
And its gonna be 6pm ramen
Then probably night time ramen
Kinkaku-ji first, then Bamboo Forest
I also thought i could never but japan ramen hits different
Try starting from the square they have in the end instead of the regular entrance, it's less crowded
Are you going today? Would u wanna meet up?
Did u actually?
There’s a word for morning ramen I believe
I’m not today unfortunately! I have plans. But I will be lots after. How long are you here for?
The only ramen that opens morning nearby for me was one with TONS of vegetable topping on top
I think they call it jiro style?
Yes
So funny they have a word for that
Is there one for alcohol in the morning? Lol
it's 5pm somewhere
Asanomu? Lol
There should be a word for drinking strong zero specifically right outside a konbini
“mukaizake” morning drink to rid hangover lol
I posted a thread for a party tonight
Which is just hair of the dog I believe in English
Anyone who wants to join are welcome 🙇🏻♂️
Which sightseeing place are you talking about? Sorry, I did not get it clearly.
Any rationale or reason on this? Someone else told otherwise.
I’m here until Monday(flight home). I’ll probs still go today to the bar if anyone wants to join for happy hour drinks! Down to go again tho. My evening plans are open until I leave
I could do early dinner lol didnt have lunch anyway! @weary prawn are you gonna join?
Me either 😛
You guys around Namba or...?
I’m just gonna get settled first
Are yall headed out to dotonbori tngt?
