[storm cove]

[storm cove]

Because have u seen haggis

[willow idol]

I think I watched a tasting history video about it ye

[storm cove]

It looks like someone shat on a plate

[fossil knoll]

English breakfast

[worn sluice]

I’d go to Turkey for a proper kebap 🤔😂

[storm cove]

U cannot replicate the grease

[worn sluice]

Tea and biscuits

[storm cove]

In NZ you’re too quality over quantity

NO

[willow idol]

lmaoooo

[storm cove]

In the UK it’s all about greasy shit

Welsh rarebit

[fossil knoll]

Isn't Chinese food a nightmare in UK

[storm cove]

Scones

A proper biscuit

[worn sluice]

Pad thai

[willow idol]

we have scones in nz

[storm cove]

Not the degeneracy by our tea spilling compatriots

[fossil knoll]

Shrek pizzeria in Manchester

[willow idol]

oh yeah Welsh rarebit sounds cool

[storm cove]

And there’s scones in Japan

😅

It’s about the British touch

Go to harrods and try stupidly expensive fruit

[sweet veldt]

diabolical

[willow idol]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/eMRbJuVzbu48CWsU6
this?

[storm cove]

Oh hell ye

That place is awesome

[willow idol]

I think I'll just have fruit in Japan instead lol

[storm cove]

What’s not to love?

[worn sluice]

My god I would live there

Maybe not for the pizza, but for shrek

[willow idol]

the reviews on Shrek's pizza make me question whether this is even a real place

[fossil knoll]

Lmaoo

[storm cove]

Oh and do something objectionable and get cussed out by some geezer in the side of the road

[fossil knoll]

I dont think it's opened but I could be weong

[storm cove]

If ur American prepare for a culture shock

[fossil knoll]

I traveled 2 hrs to get there and it was closed

[storm cove]

If you have a camera you WILL get cussed out

[worn sluice]

Weong seems like a chinese name

[fossil knoll]

Average UK experience

[slate laurel]

are you single? 👀

jk

[worn sluice]

Enouuuuuughhh
I can’t spend my time in Tokyo on discord
Hear ya later ❤️

[willow idol]

ah ryokan dinner?

[fossil knoll]

Have fun!

[willow idol]

see ya, I'm in akiba if u want to say hi btw

[fossil knoll]

I love u for this

[storm cove]

This is the average UK motorway experience:

• heavy traffic on merge lane
• some wanker goes in the evacuation lane and speeds ahead to cut the line
• huge HGV blocks said wanker from merging
• wanker stays behind to avoid his car getting rammed
• gets blocked in by other geezers

Now no one can move

[worn sluice]

I’ll be there in a couple hours!

[fossil knoll]

I love it when wanker is used to describe people 😌

It's such a funny word

[storm cove]

😂😂

[fossil knoll]

Alright I'm off to eat. Have a great day everyone enjoy your travels

[slate laurel]

you miss every shot you dont take

unfortunetly didn't work, ill have to get a job

[spring reef]

Starbucks oat latte tastes weird

Too much oat, not enough coffee

[slate laurel]

starbucks 💀

[spring reef]

Had to try it I guess lol

[worthy wadi]

T-10 days till I can join y’all in Japan!

All your pictures is giving me massive FOMO

Like this one

Where is this?

Oh my bad

Park Hyatt Kyoto

I was not familiar with the your game

😂

https://tenor.com/view/noted-anya-gif-9118962738426881203

I was unsuccessful in booking PHK with points for this trip 🫠

[olive quest]

Nagoya morning service my beloved 🥹

[worthy wadi]

Yeah I was hoping to get lucky

I’ll just have to keep trying

One of these trips I’ll get a few nights in eventually

I thought you needed a minimum of two nights for points stay?

I’m not surprised

Just can’t justify that price point for a hotel room lol

Since I’m just using it to sleep

But if I plan on taking full advantage of the room and amenities then maybe

Yeah I would totally take advantage of early morning and late night shots of the area

Isn’t that typical of Japanese accommodations?

Maybe you wouldn’t expect that from a high end place though

Hope Hyatt house shibuya is fine

Not surprised since it’s relatively new

I’ve heard good things

I think the location and the newness of the hotel is what’s appealing to me

And having a washer/dryer in the room

How long are you going to be in Japan for?

Cool enjoy your trip

We may cross paths and not even know it

[spiral latch]

I ate black eggs

[worthy wadi]

If I notice someone with pink hair I’ll say Park Hyatt Kyoto and see if they have a reaction

[spiral latch]

I got scammed taste like a normal egg

[worthy wadi]

But it’s supposed to have magical properties!

[worn sluice]

Do u know if there is a map with the smoking areas? 😵‍💫😭

[worthy wadi]

That’s the magical nutrients

After you come out of an onsen

Are you supposed to rinse off again?

[lime inlet]

Yes

All those minerals on you feel crusty if you leave them

[worthy wadi]

Isn’t the minerals supposed to be good for your skin?

[lime inlet]

well a lot of that is marketing

[storm cove]

No more than rubbing sand

lol

It’s exfoliating

But so is anything course

[fair plume]

@willow idol you in aki? Just got off the platform here and I have a mission if you wanna join!

[worthy wadi]

Noted

[spring reef]

Since buying these trousers in Hiroshima, no Uniqlo I've been to has them 😭

[upbeat lark]

Well I checked out already but ya. I had a sufficiently large room

[storm cove]

Goddam it

You’re off to Osaka now right man?

Have a fuckin dope time

[upbeat lark]

Savoy. Gogogogo.

[storm cove]

I will ofc

[spring reef]

I'm heading to Tokyo now.
Feel like having some pizza

Anyone down for lunch?

[ionic wave]

Woke up an hour later than planned for kamakura

Then fell asleep on the train and ended up at zushi

😂

[lime inlet]

#shopping not the meetup channel for such questions

[willow idol]

gonna do a uniqlo trip soz

[upbeat lark]

Ya Osaka today. Thanks. Was a pleasure meeting you. We’ll have to connect for Ascot next year

[worthy wadi]

Yeah I’m worried about the water temperature lol

I heard it’s really hot

[willow idol]

what is your mission carrrrlitoth

[storm cove]

Course bro. I’ll DM u my insta. See u when your on my side of the pond 😉

[spring reef]

Yoo I need to go, you in a rush?

[fair plume]

My mission is to find a "new 3ds" they are really hard to find where I'm from and I'm looking for some nostalgia!

[next stone]

Does street pass still work?

[willow idol]

I'm on my way to uniqlo Tokyo rn

[spring reef]

Ah cool

[worthy wadi]

Thanks for the tips!

[spring reef]

I need to find these trousers

[storm cove]

I’ll be going later

If u want someone

[willow idol]

the one near yurakucho and ginza

[ionic wave]

Becareful in akihabara, shops tend to jack up prices for older stuff

[storm cove]

It’s shopping day #2 and it’s on my list

[worthy wadi]

Please share any cool finds with me while you’re on your trip!

[storm cove]

I only got 3/12 shops done -_-

[fair plume]

Oh really? Where should I look then? 😅

[ionic wave]

Oh nah you can still look around akihabara, just dont commit to the first store you see 🤔

[storm cove]

Akihabara knows it’s Akihabara it’s more roxneisve then elsewhere

[spring reef]

Yeah cool, I'll be there in about an hour so will be going around 12:30 ish but will be chilling anyway so don't mind going later on either

Don't think I'll get to every Uniqlo in a day anyway

[willow idol]

ahh right I'm going now so I have enough time to explore till 1pm ish

even though Uniqlo Tokyo doesn't open till 11 lol

[ionic wave]

Just dont buy it from super potato. Its more of a showroom these days with crazy prices

[spring reef]

Cool. I'll drop a message when I'm around

[ionic wave]

People suggest going to hard off/book off but idk if you can find a 3ds

Rather idk which store will have stock for them

[worn sluice]

In ueno it’s open

[ashen quail]

good luck in tokyo for stock of that sorta thing

[storm cove]

Nakano broadway

I found 3 on the top floor there

Not that I wanted to buy them

lol

[fair plume]

They have a hard off and book off store here and I got some recomendations from chatgpt lol but I'll skip buying anything at super potato then! Thanks for tip man! 👌

[fair plume]

I'll check it out;

[spring reef]

"passenger rescue" at one of the stations 😔

[ashen quail]

book off in akiba is a rip off

same as the hard off there

[storm cove]

Isn’t everything in akiba a top off

Rip*

[ashen quail]

need to go to Off stores that are far out of tourist populated areas

[storm cove]

Like pretty much if I see a western tourist there

I’m not buying anything

It tends to lead me to good things

[ashen quail]

Yup

Akiba is great for the spectacle and not much else

first party stuff from yellow sub/kotobukiya/tamashi nations from their respective stores, but 2nd hand is fucked

Jungle are about one of the only places that doesnt rip you

[wise lantern]

I did Asakusa and Akiba all in one

Just so I can have equal exploration on both days

Shrine for the early morning, check out sumida/kaminarimon when it opens

Then to akihabara!

[storm cove]

They’re both equally as bad

For this

[idle roost]

Uuuurgh, so many people around kiyomizudera

[radiant yew]

No way I don't believe you /s

[jolly fable]

Tonight !

[tawdry crown]

Ya

[humble narwhal]

Hey guys, packing right now to head over on Saturday - is it still shorts weather?

[tawdry crown]

Maybe we can rent a space in Shibuya or something.

[fossil knoll]

u can do that?

that be fun

[tawdry crown]

Ya there are shared lounges in Shibuya in one of those fancy shopping buildings, also close to tons of restaurants and it is a major shopping/chill hub.

I would be down to organize one. I’ve been interested in using one of them.

We can go to Izakaya later too if interested.

[storm cove]

Waiiiit

Tomorrow night?

I’d be so down for that

My last night and I can’t do anything too wild as my flight is at 8AM lol

[vestal topaz]

Go to the beach

Zuushi beach is nice

[tawdry crown]

I got karaoke with Discord friends tomorrow night.

[storm cove]

Oh so tonight?

Isn’t it not on tonight

Like it comes out tomorrow?

Someone can correct me

[tawdry crown]

Ain’t for sure

[willow idol]

omg Suica merch

sanseido yuurakucho

2nd floor

[ashen quail]

same stuff as general store railyard in akiba

[willow idol]

ah cool, that's closer to where I'm staying

[tawdry crown]

I also realized maybe night time is not good, because the lounge could be closed. I got to check.

[craggy ember]

I didn’t drink any lol

Was drinking mega highballs all night

God they taste like shit

[sweet veldt]

#pasmogang

[storm cove]

Anyone going to the spy x family exhibit tomorrow?

[spring reef]

I had one whiskey highball.
That was my last whiskey highball.

[ionic wave]

Komachi st in kamakura is pretty damn awesome compared to other getaway town shopping streets

Genuinely tons of food and the shopping is pretty great and cheap too

[storm cove]

Oh ye

[spiral latch]

yeah I’m not staying in line lol

[storm cove]

Do yourself a favour and walk to the giant Buddha

[ionic wave]

I am

Well

[storm cove]

En route you’ll see more random alleys

[ionic wave]

Im going to jump on a bike

[storm cove]

💀💀

The walk is super nice

[ionic wave]

I wanna cycle to hokokuji too

[storm cove]

Ooh that’s cool

[spring reef]

Bro is never smiling 😂

[spiral latch]

solo traveling is nice but sometimes I wish I could experience some things with someone together

Hakone being one of them haha

[willow idol]

ah you're at the tourist trap lol

[spring reef]

90% of this server can agree

[upbeat lark]

https://tenor.com/view/lonely-ronery-teamamerica-gif-5332668

[spiral latch]

I’m done with hakone, omw to my hotel in Shibuya

hope my lugggage is there, I did the takyuubin

[vestal topaz]

At the same time it can be a pain to travel with someone

Cause your travel styles might not align lol

[storm cove]

The trick is to do the things that really are only possible solo

Such as whacky day trips

Hakone is literally known for honeymoons

Not a good shout as a solo traveler

[spiral latch]

oh lmao

I didn’t know 😭

I was eating by myself at the dinner table too

people probably like eeehh hitori de?

[spring reef]

hai 😔

[shut flower]

I solo travelled Hakone in Oct 22 as well its fine :p

But yeah, Ryokans are best experienced with others

[upbeat lark]

It’s SO HARD to find someone that’s travel style aligns with yours or that can compromise or separate during travel based on interests.

[storm cove]

Oh it’s fine but like you feel the loneliness more

[shut flower]

Haha

[storm cove]

I personally wouldn’t ryokan again solo

Although I get the appeal

[shut flower]

Tbf my trips are kinda like 1 week kinds

[vestal topaz]

Yeah fr fr

[shut flower]

More than that yeah a bit of loneliness comes to play

But that's why these days I try to meet with ppl

[storm cove]

I’ve been solo travelling for 2 months now

Never felt lonely once

[vestal topaz]

I came with my sister last time and I never wanted to be alone so much after dealing with her lol

[storm cove]

And km a huge extrovert lol

[shut flower]

lol

[storm cove]

I just befriend randoms

[shut flower]

Ya this discord's meetups makes it fun

[storm cove]

‘Your style is rad bro let’s go drink’

[upbeat lark]

There’s a difference between traveling with someone and meeting people while traveling though

[storm cove]

Completely agree

Travelling with someone? Wouldn’t do it if I can avoid it.

Travelling with my partner? Hell ye

But it’s a different kind of trip ya know

[spiral latch]

Lol yeah that’s why I did solo travel this trip, first time Japan I did with group of 7

[storm cove]

W.h.y.

[spiral latch]

so many compromiseing

[storm cove]

7?!

[spiral latch]

and waiting

[storm cove]

Hell no

[spring reef]

Lool

[storm cove]

4 is max

I either nuclear family it

[bitter delta]

🤯 thats literally hell on earth

[storm cove]

Or solo

Also it’s Japan

It’s hard enough getting seats for 2

[bitter delta]

Imagine 7 people w suitcases trynna get on a packed metro

☠️

[spiral latch]

literally me lmao

[bitter delta]

XD

Ye that sounds crazy i think if i did that myself

I'd leave tue group after day 1 🤣

[storm cove]

Taxis work out fairly economical at 7

[spiral latch]

yup we split the cost

faster and much cheaper

[spring reef]

More than 3 is crazy work

[bitter delta]

Taxis dont go in the areas i visit

[spring reef]

Especially if it's somewhere like Japan

If you're not moving around much then it's cool

[spiral latch]

I’m in a taxi rn lol

[storm cove]

Yes but with 7 you’re not going beyond the golden route

Unless you’re hikers

[pulsar wasp]

You gotta use taxis in a group to split the cost

[silk nova]

In tokyo right now anyone wanna meet up tonight for drinks?

[spiral latch]

I just be ballin since yen is cheap rn

[storm cove]

This is why I’m shopping so much

[silk nova]

This shit was less then 1000 yen

[storm cove]

Because everything is at least 30% off

[silk nova]

Beats any American fast food

[spring reef]

I'm down

[silk nova]

Hell ya ill dm you

[ashen quail]

Mega highballs in shibuya/shinjuku? i love ice with a hint of soda water that definitely contains alcohol

[ionic wave]

Lets roll, thanks @vestal topaz for the heads up on bike rentals here

[spare wind]

hell yeah

looks bus

[small hamlet]

Anyone going out tonight in shinjuku? 😮 just taking the train back to tokyo

[spiral latch]

I got reservation finally for Seirinkan pizza

il be in Shibuya

[storm cove]

I’ll be in shibuya too

Would prefer to go out around there

Like Ebisu

[small hamlet]

Is there a lot around that area?

[storm cove]

For drinking? Ye

Ebisu is a local - ish haunt

[chrome leaf]

What did you have in mind?

[mild merlin]

I'd love to join too 🙌

[silk nova]

Hell ya

[chrome leaf]

Whereabouts in Tokyo are you thinking of going?

[silk nova]

Not completely sure yet but leaning towards the shinjuku area

[zealous peak]

What do people eat for fiber here? Everything is just carbs and protein

[chrome leaf]

Okay cool I'd like to join too then

[silk nova]

You must be forever constipated

[silk nova]

Everyone is welcome!

[zealous peak]

No but everything is just soft

[silk nova]

I'll make a groupchat so it'll be easier

[reef hazel]

I could also be interested if it's Shinjuku

Or Shibuya

[silk nova]

All aboard

[small hamlet]

Dont mind if i doooo

[small hamlet]

Also havent planned it out yet, will do some research when i get to my hotel.

[ionic wave]

this is nice

[small hamlet]

Can anyone link the nov google sheet? Im so not use to discord on mobile

[ionic wave]

Click on the thread name on top -> settings -> pinned messages

[worthy wadi]

Very demure

[ionic wave]

Does demure apply for guys

Id say serene

😂

[small hamlet]

Arigatou 🫡

[willow idol]

bought some stuff at Uniqlo 🙌

[small hamlet]

Oh yeah has anyone used or know where to buy vacuum bags (with the vacuum or pump thing)? Theres a few puffy clothing in my luggage that i want compress to fit more things

[ionic wave]

daiso probably

Although idk about the quality

[small hamlet]

Hmm ok might have to look into that

[crude holly]

Sweet potato, apples, banana, edamame and those jellies at the konbini do the trick too

[crude holly]

The council of women approve 🫡

[worthy wadi]

It can apply to anyone 😉

[crude holly]

But don't forget to be mindful too

[worthy wadi]

He is in a bamboo forest sipping on tea

He is in a state of mindfulness

🧘‍♂️

[crude holly]

You can still be a goblin in a bamboo forest 😂

[worn sluice]

Somebody in akihabara?

[scenic jackal]

Anyone at sunshine city right now

[willow idol]

I'm heading to kamiya to have lunch before going to teamlab borderless

[ionic wave]

Ok @worthy wadi i got approved so im demure now

[worthy wadi]

Very mindful too

[gleaming saddle]

when i was at the entrance, it felt like i was entering a pokemon gym😭

[storm cove]

Oh I loved that bamboo place

[wild linden]

My stamp run begins
It's bouta go crazy

[worn sluice]

Where do you take the book?

[wild linden]

Oh there isnt a turn in or event in particular

The stations usually have a stamp just hanging around

[vernal spruce]

far stretch but still: is someone in Kinosaki Onsen right now?

[willow idol]

are there books specifically for station stamps

[wild linden]

There are stamp books and they usually have thicker paper. But anything is fine

I think tokyo station had a branded stamp book? Mine is from travellers factory

[tough storm]

@craggy ember You would know this

The cyberpunk neon bar area in Kabukicho in Kabukicho tower. Is that a tourist trap place? Are the alcohol prices insane?

[lime inlet]

It's inside Kabukicho Tower, not the Godzilla building

[tough storm]

My bad

[alpine bison]

a bit more expensive than usual

but not golden gai levels

still quite a few nice izakaya food choices, from kind of all regions of japan

[tough storm]

Interesting. Thanks for the information.

[alpine bison]

plus the vibe is good, they play YMCA every 15 minutes

in japanese of course

you can karaoke in that little dj deck, or dance, if you know the right routine

the claw machines are pretty expensive

and the rest of gaming arcades

compared to rest

get a few friends, put the VR thing, and try one of those neo matrix escape puzzles they have

[ionic wave]

Plus you get some random idol show every other night at the center stage

Kinda like sunshine city except yknow, neon signs

[tough storm]

Yeah I've been there a few times, but never sat down there. Was curious because other people have asked me about that place a few times, but I didn't have an answer on if it was a good spot to drink

[ionic wave]

If its for drinks then probably not, but for the experience of “night city” then yea

If they’re fans of the whole cyberpunk/neo-tokyo concept

Ive only ever seen fans of said idol groups drink there while waiting, and tourists

[ionic wave]

Some stations sell them, otherwise bookstores will have them

[spiral latch]

I’ve went inside before

just lots of lights

haven’t tried the foods

[pseudo iris]

Anyone in Kyoto at the moment? Would love to grab dinner!

Also food inside Kabukicho Tower is very mid, stayed there my first week

[upbeat scarab]

Likewise, anyone in Osaka?

[pseudo iris]

The booze is ok priced

[bitter delta]

Booze in kabukicho tower is the most expensive ive ever seen

I think it was around 850-900 for a lemon sour 😭

(well actually 1250 if u count in the cover charge

[storm cove]

Harmonica alley was 800 so it’s not far off

[uncut jackal]

Kinda tourist trap, fun once then not worth again

[uncut jackal]

I will be in shinjuku tonight got time to kill until around 9:30 then gotta go. Down to go somewhere with others for a bit

[tough storm]

That's what I thought myself

[uncut jackal]

Honestly u just go for like an hr to see the show then not really much point sticking around, not that worth imo

[tough storm]

Yeah. I've been there a few times, but only to wander for a few minutes. Its not my kind of scene. None of Kabukicho is really, though sometimes I go to the movie theater.

[upbeat lark]

I'll be in Kyoto Monday, if you're still around.

[reef hazel]

Nice cloudy weather for Shibuya Sky. Got tickets for tomorrow too though and that looks even worse

[worn sluice]

Pls don’t say it, I also have it tomorrow 😭

[reef hazel]

Just looks like a lot of clouds

Could be worse

[pseudo iris]

That would be sick, mind if I join?

[pseudo iris]

I'll be in Arashiyama area during the day on Monday but free at night if you wanna grab a bite!

[uncut jackal]

Is there a group chat? Down for shinjuku but i gtg at 9:00ish

[radiant yew]

Experience at the foreigner houses of Kobe kind of soured due to entitled Chinese tourist demanding me move out of the way to get his fleeting shot of... the signage

[upbeat lark]

Ya, sounds good. I have no plans.

[pseudo iris]

Sounds easy, I'm just about to have a check into my hotel and then wander around to that area slowly

[ionic wave]

Gotta catch that plane to washington i see

[uncut jackal]

yet again

[ionic wave]

Lmao

If you guys are going to shinjuku again lmk, ill join after i come back from kamakura i think

I wanna go swing at the batting cage today again tho

Well, shinjuku/shibuya whichever

[uncut jackal]

tomorrow ill be out with the boys late

[vestal topaz]

That place was decent last night for the price

[pseudo iris]

It's just me, flying solo at the moment

[gleaming saddle]

hahah yes maybe thats a good idea, im at the hotel rn and resting a bit, maybe ill join aswell

[tardy lintel]

I'm also in Osaka now. Probably will go out tonight and go to the aquarium tomorrow. Anyone else going to the aquarium tomorrow?

[ionic wave]

Ill hit you up again later

Bowling is p fun too

Me and friends were marvelling at their tech of being able to replay to watch your form

[ionic wave]

Oh, i wouldnt mind bowling if others are down

[chrome leaf]

I'd be down for bowling tbh

[ionic wave]

Yea if anyones down for some SOBER activities like bowling tonight

[alpine bison]

where are you going to bowl

i know shibuya, and akiba but im not sure where to bowl in shinju

[ionic wave]

anywhere along the main areas work so its concenient

[versed star]

Hey guys! 36F, came to Japan to get away from a bad breakup and heal.

Will be in Osaka from 16-18 and Tokyo the 19th. Would love to grab some drinks, get some love (friends too) and just meet some cool people with great convo. Anyone down?

[ionic wave]

You’ll find tons of people when you arrive so dont worry, just post in here or the osaka thread and have fun

most times drinking meets just happen on the day itself

[worn sluice]

Silly question:
I hate the hotel I am in right now…
You know some nice hotel maybe at a reasonable price from tomorrow or today till 18?

[worn sluice]

Tokyo

[versed star]

Appreciate it! Thanks!

[alpine bison]

sort by budget and area... on any website

[upbeat lark]

In Osaka until the 18th as well. Happy to meet up for a drink or meal.

[alpine bison]

otherwise, just go with tokyo mandarin oriental

it's kinda nice

[worn sluice]

I’m not finding anything under 22k yen per night 🥲

[alpine bison]

only 156k a night for the peasant tier

ok under 22k

sure

what area are you lookin at?

[fair plume]

Most people here in general love to meet and hang out with new people so you're in the right place! ❤️

[upbeat lark]

Aman > MO

[worn sluice]

Any area, it’s enough that it is near a metro

[tiny pagoda]

I’m in Osaka until Tuesday
Down for drinks and adventures

[versed star]

Let’s do it

[upbeat lark]

Gonna head down to Dotonburi in a bit I think.

[versed star]

I’m happy to hear 💙

[tiny pagoda]

I’m going to do laundry for the next hour or so and then head out
I’m not too far from Dotonbori

[alpine bison]

a capsule hotel will be 12k a night somewhere around kita senju

[upbeat lark]

Sweet, shoot me a DM when you're heading out, can grab a drink somewhere.

[alpine bison]

go to saitama otherwise, a few stops away but nothing extraordinary, will be cheaper

[worn sluice]

Thanks mate ❤️

[alpine bison]

just an example https://www.booking.com/hotel/jp/daiwaroinetutohoteruda-gong-xi-kou.ja.html?label=gen173nr-1BCAEoggI46AdIM1gEaHWIAQGYARW4AQfIAQzYAQHoAQGIAgGoAgO4AuPh27kGwAIB0gIkMGVlMWZhZDMtYTBjNS00NWE5LWFkNTAtOGFmYjRkZmQ3YWM12AIF4AIB&sid=59da95a2896bb48f05aa37d427045d17&aid=304142&ucfs=1&checkin=2024-11-15&checkout=2024-11-18&dest_id=267031&dest_type=landmark&group_adults=1&no_rooms=1&group_children=0&matching_block_id=1096838001_0_1_0_0&atlas_src=sr_iw_title

from omiya to shinjuki is 30min on whatever Jr line

and its connected to everything else

otherwise, you can stay in an internet cafe 🙂

thats basically free compared to a hotel

[pseudo iris]

what's your budget, and what don't you like about your current spot?

[alpine bison]

i mean, i dont fit.. but its a nice room for 2500 a night

[craggy ember]

I’m out tonight with my Japanese buddy

[alpine bison]

order a vr dvd, and you're living a dream

[worn sluice]

My budget is about 15k yen per night, and I don’t like the people I am with (it’s a hostel, i wanted to try it to try to socialize) 🤣

[craggy ember]

I was just there, the drink prices are decent and it’s actually really cool even though it’s a tourist trap. A draft beer was like 500 yen I think .

[worn sluice]

Good Idea 🤔

[craggy ember]

Sorry for late reply I was sleeping

[worn sluice]

Maybe I’ll try to stick till tomorrow then I’ll see

[tough storm]

Gotcha. Thanks for the information. You're the man to ask for the best places to drink

[craggy ember]

I would definitely go there once

[alpine bison]

once?

[reef hazel]

Even with the clouds, you can still slightly make out Fuji from Shibuya Sky

[craggy ember]

At least one

Once

I’ll go back there for sure

[alpine bison]

it has great events, towards tourists

all the time

full bon odori inside that thing

pole dancing, outside that thing

idols all the time on the weekends

[craggy ember]

Yea it’s great but drink prices are on the higher side

[alpine bison]

my gym is just a building in front of it, so i spy secretly on them

[craggy ember]

That’s my only con

[alpine bison]

500 yen, ... higher side

i dont know

[craggy ember]

When ur drinking 10 drinks that becomes a big factor of where ur going

That’s for draft beer

Most people drink others

The others were like 750-1000

[alpine bison]

yes, combini parking lot is my place of choice for 20 drinks as well

[craggy ember]

Not even, just go to a nomiho

[alpine bison]

anyway, 500 yen at the current rate is like 40 cents

[ionic wave]

Or you could go to the izakaya across kabukicho tower for 100 yen lemon sours

[craggy ember]

Or like last night we saw 50 cent lemon sours

[uncut jackal]

Anyone know if Ebisu has stuff going on for drinking? wanna g to a bar there but want to know if theres others around thats good

[alpine bison]

many drinking places in Ebisu, more older crowd

best place for nanpa as well

[uncut jackal]

with the older crowd?

[alpine bison]

yes, grannies love me

[uncut jackal]

my guy

[craggy ember]

Is that the Pabst bar I sent I

U

[uncut jackal]

Yeah

jollys

[alpine bison]

if you are a woman though... i think its the worst place possible

[uncut jackal]

want my pbr

[craggy ember]

Lol grab ur pbr and walk to shibuya

[alpine bison]

is Debris in ebisu?

[craggy ember]

And meet us

[pseudo iris]

found out my hotel does free sake, let's fuckin goooooooooooo

[worthy wadi]

Major win

[ashen quail]

It sounds reasonable to avoid purely based on location

[pseudo iris]

mebbe haha

free is free

[worthy wadi]

Have you tried those anti hangover supplements they sell at the conbinis

Someone test them out and tell me if they work

[ashen quail]

These two specifically, drink one before bed with a bottle of water and you should be aight in the morning

[alpine bison]

they work

[ashen quail]

obviously if youre being a fuckhead and mixing beers with hard liquor or the like, they wont work well.

[alpine bison]

i had once before my japan trip

and still not even once got hangover

but real talk, its just a nice drink with a tiny side effect of anti inflammation of the liver

it does not cure you magically from any hangover or anything else

[shadow mantle]

any meetups planned around tokyo today? discord is confusing..

[alpine bison]

yes, shinjuku

[worthy wadi]

I thought you were supposed to drink it before you start drinking?

[alpine bison]

it doesnt matter

the benefit is mild, oxidative stress occurs during alcohol in the bloodstream

you can also hydrate yourself in plenty other ways, and your liver will work as it's supposed to

but good marketing team, behind every good product

will make you believe you can grow wings and launch yourself into a lake

[worthy wadi]

I have my own ritual I follow back at home but I’ll have to give those supplements a try when I’m there next week

[alpine bison]

you can just get some turmeric

and sprinkle that on your food

[errant swallow]

Im down, what time?

[silk nova]

The best way to not get a hangover is just drink a ton of water

Also puking before you sleep

[worthy wadi]

I don’t like to force myself to 🤮 but that does definitely help

I usually don’t even drink that much at home but when I visit Japan I end up drinking so much it’s wild lol

I just really vibe with their bar scene

[alpine bison]

and the fact that drinks are so weak

[shadow mantle]

you got any more info about that ? I am scrolling up but Its a bit confusing where you guys are meeting up and planning to do today

[ionic wave]

Idk, dont tbink theres enough people for bowling anyway

[alpine bison]

bowling is not yet agreed upon

[worthy wadi]

We talking about the high end cocktail bars?

[ionic wave]

But bowl or not im defo hitting the batting cage

[alpine bison]

shinjuku is the usual drinking location for friday night, starting at torikizoku ending on the last train crying

[alpine bison]

anything

[worthy wadi]

What time is the last train again?

[alpine bison]

torikizoku can start at 7pm or 7.30 depending on the group

[errant swallow]

Yes, probably not

[alpine bison]

battingcages is great idea, 2 of them in shinjuku

[fossil knoll]

around 12 and i think 12:06

[worthy wadi]

So does that mean you have to arrive at your final station by midnight? Or as long as you get on the train at midnight you can ride it to your final stop?

[uncut jackal]

you gotta plan depending on how far away you live

[storm cove]

Wait what’s going on tonight

[alpine bison]

last train from shinjuku to any direction, midnight

[storm cove]

In shinjuku or shibuya

These chats happen so fast I never have a fuckin clue

[fossil knoll]

if u need to take more than 1 train,i recommend going earlier

[worthy wadi]

Noted

[uncut jackal]

lfg

[alpine bison]

if uber is too expensive, try jinrikisha

[uncut jackal]

didi too apparently

[alpine bison]

then you will know what is really expensive, and go back to uber

[storm cove]

R we bowling?

[winged frigate]

This shit works wonders 💪🏼

[uncut jackal]

but this is the best?

[alpine bison]

Bowling... there is Copabowl in shinjuku

i never been

but looks alright

can get the royal room, if you are feeling fancy

https://copa-shinjuku.com/

but it needs like proper, 4 people at the right time, otherwise its just me staring at my own poor performance

[storm cove]

I follow the ppl

[ashen quail]

Beer before liquor makes you sicker

Liquor before beer youre in the clear

[storm cove]

I am howveee absolutely dogshit

[shut flower]

Round 1's in Japan do have a Bowling Alley usuallt

[storm cove]

Ye but it’s always mediocre

[ionic wave]

@ocean valley you wanna do bowling tonight? I think some others here are down

[cursive holly]

https://tenor.com/view/this-is-the-way-this-is-the-way-mandalorian-mandalorian-i-have-spoken-baby-yoda-gif-24159898

[storm cove]

To clarify, I am down but I need timings

[alpine bison]

800 yen per ball

[chrome leaf]

Yeah me too

[storm cove]

As I’m currently doing my whole shopping situation

[ionic wave]

We all need timings cause there aint no time yet

[storm cove]

Can I set a time then?

[ionic wave]

But first we need a headcount

Sure

[alpine bison]

say 6.30pm

[storm cove]

😂😂

Oh hell no

7:30-8 plz

[alpine bison]

okay, 7.30pm

sure

[ionic wave]

@errant swallow you still wanna do bowling?

7.30pm shinjuku

Doable forbme

[storm cove]

Ye roundabout

[alpine bison]

we need to probably call them up

its friday

[storm cove]

I’d prefer 8 if I’m honest

Cause it’s Friday night

[alpine bison]

okay 8 sure

but we need to call them up and say

[storm cove]

And I’m being a tad realistic

[chrome leaf]

I can do 8 sounds good

[errant swallow]

Yes ofc

[alpine bison]

open a subthread

[errant swallow]

8 is good for me

[gleaming saddle]

does any1 know if there is a hip hop scene in osaka? non clubbing live music? hip hop bar?

[reef hazel]

Is it now rush hour so avoid subway or is still ok?

[storm cove]

https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1306884821137489920

For everyone that wants to come tonight

[ocean valley]

I’m down for bowling

[spring reef]

Yo I'm down for bowling if there's room

[chilly shoal]

I wanna hear your opinions about this lol
Tiktok made me want to go there

There’s a kyoto katsugyu branch in osaka tho

[jagged flare]

If anyone is interested, there is apparently an event going on in ueno Park where they have a bunch of food vendors and beer tasting. To get in it was 500 yen.

[chilly shoal]

I would say rush hour is pretty overrated after the pandemic

I just board the train whenever. It might be packed but it rarely gets packed to the point it’s worth losing time

I might have plans for dinner in Osaka tonight 😦

[shut flower]

Cant go wrong with Gyukatsu

[regal hill]

Only worth avoiding rush hour if u have luggage imo

[chilly shoal]

only carry luggage on trains if you can’t avoid it imo

I find it just straight up an a-hole move unless it’s a train from the airport (and they usually have romancecar options)

[gleaming saddle]

rather 5:30 or 6? cuz i can take the train or walk haha

[fossil knoll]

agreed

the best thing i put in my mouth

gyukatsu

[worthy wadi]

I dunno if I just didn’t have good gyukatsu but the breading on the outside wasn’t that crispy for me when I tried it

I was expecting a tonkatsu like texture

[fossil knoll]

its definitellhy supposed to be crispy

[worthy wadi]

But that wasn’t the case

[chilly shoal]

I personally ask to have my luggage shipped via yamato when changing hotels to a diff city, or just taxi (or leave them into storage if I’m not using them for a couple days) when its the same

[gleaming saddle]

i think @pseudo iris aswell?

[regal hill]

Luggage on rapids etc seems pretty common. Feel you re: subway though

[chilly shoal]

rapids as in normal toukyuu or reserved

[regal hill]

Unreserved

[chilly shoal]

If it’s reserved seat its fine

Toukyuu is ehhhhhh

Ik people carry it

But for locals it’s usually nothing larger than a cabin suitcase

And maybe a couple of shopping bags with omiyage

[regal hill]

I mean I travel lighter than that mostly lol

[chilly shoal]

I do shop a lot and I sweat quite a lot so I can’t use the same shirt 2 days without a wash, even with an undershirt

So a 2 week trip requires like 16 tshirts for me if I dont wanna deal w laundry

[raw plinth]

Where is clubbing and dancing happening?

[regal hill]

Which city?

[raw plinth]

Tokyo

[ionic wave]

If you’re still looking for a meetup tonight, bunch of us are going bowling in shinjuku

[lime inlet]

https://www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravel/comments/1e2u25w/a_music_lovers_guide_to_tokyo_nightclubs/

[chilly shoal]

The breading is supposed to be exactly the same as tonkatsu

[fossil knoll]

unfortunately my bed has won. it made me lazy and sleepy 😴

hope u all have a blast

[reef hazel]

I got the bus, got a seat and all so happy out

Where is the bowling on in Shinjuku?

[gleaming saddle]

ight then i gotta go haha

is it popular?

[fossil knoll]

@reef hazel

[gleaming saddle]

kk omw

yes

im wearing a grey ravens hoodie haha

[ashen quail]

Nah theres ALOT of shit gyukatsu around

[craggy ember]

What trains are you getting on?

[ashen quail]

Easy tourist bait food

[craggy ember]

There are times where you literally can’t board for multiple trains

[reef hazel]

I am going from Shibuya to Shinjuku. I felt trains were going to be horrific

[pseudo iris]

yeee, I'm probs gonna start walking over soon

[reef hazel]

And probably not a great first attempt at the subway

[fossil knoll]

honestly as long as you line up, you should be fine

[chilly shoal]

Wherever? Yamanote, Odakyu, Marunouchi, Chuo, Ueno-Asakusa, Osaka Loop, Midousuji… never had a problem in boarding trains over several trips

[craggy ember]

Then you’ve been lucky

[ashen quail]

Theres a fantastic katsu place near me actually

Their entire menu consists of kids meals in adult portions haha, its pretty fun

[chilly shoal]

Quite hard to say I’ve been lucky literally every day out of the 5 months-ish I’ve spent in this country combined, boarding trains almost every single day 😬

[pseudo iris]

just ready yourself with electrolytes and water before, during, and after, better than this stuff I've found

[worthy wadi]

I guess I’ll have to give it another try then

[craggy ember]

😹😹😹

I live here

[ashen quail]

Nah this stuff spanks electrolytes tbh

[craggy ember]

Rush hour is definitely a thing still

[ashen quail]

Just avoid shibuya and shinjuku and dont worry about it ez 😇

[chilly shoal]

And you can line up and enter the second, worst case the third train just fine. Just like everywhere else in the world

[ionic wave]

^

Rush hour here isnt even that bad compared to other capital cities

Like yea theres tons of people but also tons of trains

[ashen quail]

Japremacist in shambles rn

[tough storm]

Just make sure you book limited express tickets in advance

[craggy ember]

No lol

[tough storm]

I didn't do this for Matsumoto

[ashen quail]

All the tourists coming for his rush hour skills

[tough storm]

and I was forced to stand for half of a 3 hour train ride

with my luggage

[craggy ember]

There’s times where there’s nothing you can do

Exiting and entering station

Due to sheer volume of people

[vestal topaz]

Anything happened tonight

[ionic wave]

So you tap out wherever you’re at and head to a toriki for 2 hours

Am i right or am i richt

[vestal topaz]

Gimme the dl

[craggy ember]

No

[chilly shoal]

unreserved seat is always a bad exp, agreed

[craggy ember]

Isn’t it 10$ more

Why would u ever buy unreserved

Sold out?

[vestal topaz]

Shiiiet bowling I see

@ionic wave you got a full party?

[ionic wave]

Theres a thread for it

But idk if its full

I dont even know what the limit is

😂

[tough storm]

Sadly not a single seat was available for 3 of the trains I was aiming for

It was a 3 day weekend, so bad luck on my part

It was fine. I was able to get a seat after like 70 minutes I think

[ionic wave]

#1306884821137489920

Do you tap out on normal buses here?

Looks like not

Thanks

[ashen quail]

You have him beat sir

[ionic wave]

He’s just playing nice

🤔

[craggy ember]

Wtf happened to the rain

[upbeat lark]

The odds of me getting drunk and making a stupid financial decision are high here

[vestal topaz]

YOLO

[cosmic oriole]

Is that a gatcha machine

[upbeat lark]

It’s a “gotcha” wall lol

[open junco]

Im going to voyager in Shibuya againnnn and then either atom or neverland if anyone wants to join! I’ll prob be there 10!

[spiral latch]

Isn’t there some kareoke thing planned today

@tawdry crown

[tawdry crown]

I think someone said they can't do tonight

[spiral latch]

O

[tawdry crown]

was that not you?

[spiral latch]

[tawdry crown]

are you available tomorrow then?

[spiral latch]

Well I have din with some peeps at 6

[tough storm]

Nah you're in Japan

Get some Hibiki or Yamazaki

[upbeat lark]

Mmm I do love some Yamazaki 18

[ionic wave]

If anyone wants, some of us are going to shinjuku batting cage at 7pm and then (maybe) bowling after if theres space

[idle roost]

First nap of the trip

Should have done one earlier

[ionic wave]
