Yo wtf my fumbass thought it were 6pm bit its 6 am tf is this

[upbeat lark]

Honestly no, but they did get me into their own spot tomorrow. Reviews are stellar so that's exciting. I did Satake 2 days ago which was great. Got in on Tableall. I did hear about the Sugita report but kinda want to experience it for myself.

[lime inlet]

Tonight I'm going to this all-night house music party in Shibuya

https://maps.app.goo.gl/tQzEmBW9i9E86DkB8?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

If you can get into Satake, you should go. I’m going to Hoseki tonight, can see if they have an extra seat. Umi I felt was overpriced.

I sent @rich gate to Zanmai and I think for a chain it’s great.

Anything with a Tablelog score over 3.6 you can get into is worth trying

[spiral latch]

the creme bruleee flavor pretty nice

the matcha one I got, it was alright, almost choked myself to death from accidentally sucking the matcha powder

[upbeat lark]

Did you try any of the savory ones or just sweets?

[acoustic hornet]

How do people drink multiple days in a row

I am hanging out my arse

Check out Amazon. I spent an hour there only to realize Amazon was about 15% to 20% cheaper for the albums I bought

Even with the tax free shopping at Tower Records, Amazon came out ahead

[weak flare]

I'm probably still going to check it out but thanks for the heads up

[proven wedge]

I found it difficult to find things at Tower Records

They have same day shipping which helps a lot

It's nice to shop though as you said

[foggy bramble]

Happy to join too if yall are still headed there at 5 🙂

[ionic valley]

Do you need to buy tickets beforehand? Or just at the door?

[lime inlet]

It's at the door, although the organiser appreciates it if you do a reservation first so they know how many people are coming

So many couples taking wedding photos at Marunouchi

I feel for the brides. It's so windy tonight

[rich gate]

what's the appeal

[rich gate]

ya i'd probably bring my friend along if he's up for it

what locations were u thinking? found any particular events yet?

[lime inlet]

Yes it’s popular for wedding shots. Tokyo Station and the Imperial Palace are good backdrops

[proven wedge]

Correction. I just stopped 4 more whole crossing the street lol

[rich gate]

ohh right ofc i was literally there yesterday

[chilly shoal]

Marunouchi and Shinjuku Gyoen are probably the top 2 places for wedding shots in tokyo

There’s a part of Yoyogi Park that gets a lot of those at some parts of the year too

[rich gate]

wait deadass?

Some Time is prob too far and closes at 10pm

[upbeat lark]

I have dinner at 8:30 so couldn’t make that

[thick anvil]

[ionic valley]

We stopped to look at some stores, we're heading there now

Are you guys still in Asakusa?

Okiee we're going to Asakusa too

[viral sapphire]

Are you guys doing the bar crawl here in Asakusa or other plans?

I’ve got about 20 people rsvp’d from Couchsurfing, a handful on meetup, and some on Eventbrite

https://www.smilebar.jp/links we’ll move once we have a sizeable group, maybe 8:30PM or so

[ionic valley]

I'll be in Asakusa, let me know when you get there

[proven wedge]

Anyone want to get Izakaya tonight?

I'm searching for dinner now and want either sushi or Izakaya

[rocky edge]

[spiral latch]

[rocky edge]

I won’t be back for an hour so don’t wait on me

[blissful eagle]

Also dinner in Asakusa I organized as per above. Reservation went through so hope we got a place to eat. I'm starving

I missed my stop whoops

[small hamlet]

Cool cool might do some of things loll, anyone got timing for those

[raven laurel]

in my experience airlines are pretty strict. I was like .1 or .2 over once and they told me to reorganize my bags or I would get charged. never flown with jal before tho

[digital dragon]

Ill be later

Delays go hard

[proven wedge]

6 minutes

Did you get the table?

[ionic valley]

Do you have a reservation with your name?

[proven wedge]

Yes

[ionic valley]

Maybe we can ask them about it

[proven wedge]

Ok

[small hamlet]

anyone been to the omoide yokocho or golden gai and would like to share their experience? Trying to see if its a fun experience or if its a tourist trap

[proven wedge]

There's a 4th spot at Izakaya if anyone wants to join

I just got here

[junior cairn]

Is there food there or just drinks?

[junior cairn]

I’m hella hungry and I think nearby!

[lime inlet]

100% tourist traps. Golden Gai is rammed full of tourists and upcharges a lot. Omoide Yokocho is also full of tourists and the food isn't great

You have options https://www.timeout.com/tokyo/restaurants/tokyo-alleyway-guide

and why limit yourself to bars when trying to meet people https://www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravel/comments/14sum76/how_to_access_live_music_in_japan_and_why_it/

[small hamlet]

Thank you sir for coming through with the deets as always

[iron isle]

I sat at a local bar at Golden gai, beer costed 500 yen 300ml, no cover charge, I had a great laugh with Japanese people and it was fun.. I did saw some packed tourist pubs that I simply skipped.. After that I went to a party at the warp and it was fun, that's my experience 🙂

[small hamlet]

Do you know what it was called?

I kinda want an authentic experience

[proven wedge]

There is food

[iron isle]

Hmm not really I'm sorry, I would say it looks brown but that's 99% of them 😂

[small hamlet]

Lol maybe ill look around

Thanks!

[sullen sluice]

[weak flare]

Are yall there already?

[sullen sluice]

[last lagoon]

We’re about to be pull up

[ancient coral]

Are you walking around golden gai? I’m down to meet up!

[fossil knoll]

dont forget to tip the gogo dancers for a unique experience

[upbeat lark]

Golden Gai is a tourist trap but it can be fun. Half the shit in this city is a tourist trap, it can still be enjoyable

[small hamlet]

You aint wrong my friend

[small hamlet]

Im like walking there, just seeing if its promising

I dont smoke so if its smoky af then prob not for me

[ancient coral]

Fosho same here. I’ll be scouting it out too

[rotund robin]

Anyone in Nagoya tonight? Up for drinks/karaoke/club or any fun stuff

[rich gate]

so who’s at Voyager rn

[last lagoon]

Like 5 of us so far

[small hamlet]

Too many choices at golden gai its like that pulp fiction meme on where to go

[lime inlet]

Deathmatch in Hell always the popular choice

[cursive holly]

Hey all, heading back to Tokyo tomorrow and staying in Akihabara for one night before flying back home. Just trying to figure out where to go for my last night. I was thinking Ameyoko as it's not too far from Akihabara, just wondering if anyone knows if it has a good nightlife?

[rocky edge]

Anyone down for dinner and karaoke tomorrow? Last night for me and @cloud briar

[slate laurel]

it was a girls bar

damn

[chilly shoal]

Looks so

Google translate is ass

Usually better to ask with the original photo lol

Wasnt that what u wanted?

[sullen sluice]

[chilly shoal]

2k if youre a guy

@proven wedge let me know when youre planning to go to nagomix

I’m already around shibuya

[vestal topaz]

What food you planning to get?

[slate laurel]

90% of girls bars don’t let foreigners in

I guess I wanted the novelty

[rocky edge]

Unsure was gonna see what the interest was and try to get reservations for appropriate sized place

[vestal topaz]

Sure well I’m down for that

[sullen sluice]

[rich gate]

ooh sounds fun

haven’t done karaoke before

[spiral latch]

I’m packing my bags, leaving Japan tommarow night

[crude holly]

Oh my, my first earthquake 😱

[chilly shoal]

What

Where

[frozen thunder]

I'm still at karaoke at Shinjuku, thinking we'll be over there at 23.40ish

[crude holly]

In Nagoya. It was a short one and not very strong but the building shook a little

Like you're on a boat rocking at the waves. Really strange feeling

[tough storm]

Big tourist trap

[silk python]

anyone up for a beer in Shinjuku without escalation and clubbing potential? 😅 i don’t wanna sleep yet but wanna stay awake a bit still after the long flight

[chilly shoal]

Kagari starts at 00:10 and shes pretty good

So dont extend that too long

[chilly shoal]

Omoide yokocho has some decent places tho

Golden gai is mostly shit

[frozen thunder]

We'll be there in 20 mins. Group swelled to 5

[lucid pulsar]

Who up tryna get crunky?

[ionic valley]

Has anyone gone to Spotify O-nest?

[meager bridge]

Is onest full? What kind of music are they playing?

[chilly shoal]

I’ll be there in 11

[ionic valley]

I went 6 mins ago they told me to wait 10 mins

[chilly shoal]

Some folks from the server are nearby onest, at harlem/atom

[ionic valley]

I'm there too

I'll just wait until yall come so we can go in together

[chilly shoal]

Im headed to nagomix

[tough storm]

yES

[proven wedge]

i'm packing my bags. leaving tomorrow night. it was nice meeting everyone!

i'm considering visiting a maid cafe tomorrow, if everything goes to plan

[meager bridge]

What kind of music is it?

[tough storm]

Live house venues don't really focus on a specific genre of music

So I can't tell you that its a pop venue or a rock venue or a metal venue

The music is determined by the acts performing that night

so you'd have to look at the schedule, see which bands are performing, then look up their music

[meager bridge]

I mean tonight

[tough storm]

Look up who is performing and look up their music

[meager bridge]

Oh I thought you meant were there today

[tough storm]

Oh no. He just asked if anyone had gone there, so I said yes.

I didn't know he was asking if anyone had gone there today

[ionic valley]

Ohhh I see I thought you are currently there haha my bad

[craggy ember]

Lol u read it correctly

[tough storm]

Hey, I’d be down for drinking later as long as it’s near Shinjuku and not too expensive. Currently jet-legged so not sure how long I’ll be able to last but would love to experience Tokyos nightlife

[ancient coral]

I’m down! Today is my last day in Tokyo

[silk python]

would be down for some drinks in Shinjuku too, landed yesterday and don’t want to overdo it either bc of jet lag

[fluid grove]

Brilliant, at least it won’t just be me suffering from it 😂 I landed on Thursday but sleep patterns still fucked

[silk python]

i had such bad jetlag last time that i took precautions 😂 so it’s fine-ish right now but i don’t wanna fuck it up just to get shitfaced 😅

[acoustic hornet]

Shinjuku it is

[fossil knoll]

It took me almost 2 weeks to get settled into Japan time lmao

[silk python]

last time it took me 2 weeks after coming back home to get that plane feeling fixed 😂 it was absolutely horrible

couldn’t even eat properly, so i didn’t wanna repeat that 😅

[fossil knoll]

It's so sucky

I hope it'll get fixed quicker 😭

What better way than staying up all night 😆

[silk python]

yeah, worked with caffeine and melatonin schedule this time, it seems to be alright. i could sleep properly this time^^

timeshifter app ftw honestly

[ancient coral]

The jet lag is still messing me up and I’ve been here since Tuesday 😂

[silk python]

y’all at least hydrate with something different than alcohol, helps a lot already 😂

[ancient coral]

damn I wish I knew that sooner I’ve been thriving off of beer

[silk python]

😂 better luck next time?

[thick anvil]

i shouldve rly done that, im only sleeping 3-4h here and there

ill just buy melatonin here ig, it gives me insane dreams tho

[leaden kite]

Heading back today. Was great meeting you peeps earlier in the trip, shame I was sick in last couple days so couldn't come out. U guys were awesome!!

[silk python]

yeah that’s annoying for sure, messes up all plans

[ashen quail]

Ameyoko is fine, Depends what youre looking for in nightlife

[ashen quail]

Here since tuesday and still no In Japan tag on discord crikey! Update it in the channels and roles section

[ancient coral]

sorry about that. I’ll be honest I’m a discord noob

[amber canopy]

What’s going on today?

[silk python]

going to get my yoshinoya breakfast fix now i think 😂

[amber canopy]

What’s after breakfast

Lol I’m trying to see how I can fill my schedule here cause my itinerary is very empty atm

[pseudo iris]

gonna see if there's any flea markets on

[amber canopy]

Can I join if you find some 😆

Also someone do let me know if anyone wants to go hiking later this week around Tokyo area

[silk python]

OR i’ll just walk up and down damn shinjuku station because maps is giving up on it 😂

[pseudo iris]

Tomioka Hachiman Shrine Antiques Market is on today!

probs cash only

I'll head there right after having brekkie, so like, maybe about a half hour to 45minutes

[amber canopy]

Oh nice I’ll see u there then

It’s not too far from me either

[acoustic hornet]

I'm free tomorrow if you're down for hiking

[amber canopy]

Ah tomorrow wouldn’t be possible since I’m meeting up with my cousin who took a day off to hang out

[ashen quail]

Most of the tokyo ones are shit these days

[pseudo iris]

Eh, if the flea market is shit, at least I'll have the shrine to still explore and add another goshuin to my book

[ashen quail]

Usually just foreigners/scammers hocking shit they got on aliexpress or bought in bulk from junk stores

[fossil knoll]

Avoid mt takao unless you're ready to face a giant crowd of Japanese people

[amber canopy]

Lol fortunately I did that hike last time I went so I can try something else

[fossil knoll]

Let me know if u find a good spot lol

[amber canopy]

@pseudo iris I’m at Tomioka btw

[idle roost]

Anyone went to Shinjuku gyoen recently?

[amber canopy]

I’ll be the singular white guy photographing random things

[idle roost]

Went there 15+ days ago, considering going there again to chill a bit today, how are the trees/leaves?

[amber canopy]

So I’m not as familiar with the trees here, but I’m kinda surprised some are bare, some yellow, some are still green

[pseudo iris]

I'm about a 5 minute walk away!

Just got off the train

[amber canopy]

Neat, I’m just around the temple

[pseudo iris]

What do you look like?

[amber canopy]

Brown hair blue jacket

DSLR camera

I can meet you by the temple gate if that works

[pseudo iris]

I'm just at the goshuin spot to the right next to where prayers are done

[amber canopy]

What do you look like?

[pseudo iris]

South East Asian with an undercut, leather jacket,

[unreal bloom]

Feel like I'm spectating an i spy match

[amber canopy]

[proven wedge]

Anyone for maid cafe for lunch? My last few hours in Tokyo

[unreal bloom]

Rikugein poppin' with the autumnal bliss rn

[distant pecan]

Anyone in Kyoto? Got a free day here with no plans

[worn sluice]

Go to nara

[distant pecan]

That’s a good shout actually

[distant pecan]

Will my suica card get me there? Only used it in Tokyo so far

[worn sluice]

I’m using Pasmo and I got there with that

So yeah, basically u can go nearly everywhere

[upbeat lark]

Kind of. You need a separate ticket for the limited express lines

[worn sluice]

But I only used the limited express line on the way back

Going there I only used the Nara Line

[upbeat lark]

If they check you have to pay the conductor. Easy to plead ignorant gaijin though

[proven wedge]

I should probably ask in shopping but this thread is more active... Anyone know where I can find a long sleeve shirt or polo suitable for work? I didn't like what Uniqlo and MUJI had to offer in Ginza. I don't want button up shirt like the salaryman

[worn sluice]

Are u sure u have to pay extra for the Nara Line? 🥲 I didn’t do it on purpose

[raven laurel]

just to add to this there are kiosks to buy the limited express ticket on the train platform after you tap your suica

[raven laurel]

pretty sure it's not extra for the kintetsu nara line

unless I also screwed up lol

[worn sluice]

In that case they are not crystal clear explaining 😂

What matters it’s that if I had to pay… I got away with that 😂

[wise lantern]

Time to go home. Didn't meet everybody here but the people I did made the trip quite special. Thank you. 🩷

[crude holly]

It's not. The extra fee is for the seat reservation. They'll check

[worn sluice]

Have a safe trip!

[raven laurel]

safe travels!

[wise lantern]

Was so lovely to meet you dude!

[raven laurel]

Yeah bro nice meeting you too!

[lean mauve]

Hi! I just landed in Tokyo yesterday from NYC, staying in Shibuya + Akasaka until the 3rd. After the 3rd I'll be hiking the Nakasendo trail and visiting Kyoto + Osaka. Would love to meet people to eat and drink with in the evenings in Tokyo. Let me know if you'd like to meet

[fluid grove]

Is there still another group up for doing Shinjuku tonight?

[lime inlet]

Anyone who hasn't signed up to go drinking somewhere yet, please come to see Amaiwana in Shibuya. Stunning retro pop revival act, just finished a big US tour supporting Ginger Root and is poised to become the next global name in Japanese music. Very special opportunity to see a rare solo show in Japan
https://www.ddinstagram.com/p/DB3JEkiSX30/

[fluid grove]

How much are tickets? Not a listener of J-pop but could be fun if Shinjuku isn’t on the cards 👍

[lime inlet]

Details in the post
¥3800 + 1 drink order if you reserve in advance

[chilly shoal]

If you’re not used to concerts, 1d orders are usually 500 to 600jpy

[upbeat lark]

I would consider going out in Roppongi tonight if anyone wants to step out

[fluid grove]

A lot of options. I’ll have a think. Would prefer just doing Shinjuku night out but will see

[fluid grove]

Is 1d one drink I’m guessing? And I’m guessing drinks are 300ml? I’m used to pints so have to do some quick maths to work out what’s good prices or not 😂

[chilly shoal]

its a 300ml cup, yes, or a bottled soft drink

[fluid grove]

Nice, thank you

[fluid grove]

Fuck it, I can always do this then go Shinjuku afterwards. Is there a group of you going? And do you mind people going that don’t have a clue about J-pop? 😂

[lime inlet]

Yes I have a few friends coming with! And you don't need to know anything

[fluid grove]

Brilliant, I’ll get my ticket now! Would you want to meet beforehand?

[lime inlet]

Busy day for me so I'll see you at the venue

[spiral latch]

chillin in Shinjuku rn, I forgot there’s more to shinjuku than just Kabukicho lol

[fossil knoll]

Do it

I double dare u

[proven wedge]

If I had my work laptop with me I definitely would

Just work at night LOL

[chilly shoal]

ask your job for a byod policy and get a laptop

[weak flare]

My work won't let me work remotely while abroad 🙃

[proven wedge]

Lol unfortunately they don't do that. I probably have a better chance of walking into the Tokyo office and working there

[chilly shoal]

maybe get a loaner laptop from the tokyo office?

I was just assuming you guys didnt have one

[chilly shoal]

what if they dont know you’re abroad

[weak flare]

I have to connect with a work supplied vpn unfortunately

I'm not supposed to even use a wifi hotspot if it isn't approved by them

[chilly shoal]

connect with a normal vpn to a us server
then connect to the work vpn via this vpn

😎

[proven wedge]

Same

[digital dragon]

WAIT WHAT DID U DO TILL 11 AM

[proven wedge]

Yeah I wonder how that would work tbh because I'd need to access my emails and use a specific program

[chilly shoal]

Well but a work supplied laptop would have that, wouldnt it

Even if its assigned to you temporarily

[proven wedge]

I dunno. When I swapped from an old laptop to a new one, my programs gradually stopped working lol

Spent half the day playing on my phone waiting for IT to finish configuring it

[chilly shoal]

💀

I mean half a day off aint bad

[spiral latch]

Omg no wonder people were staring at me

I had my zipper open

[worn sluice]

Were they amazed?

[lime inlet]

In Japanese this is called 'the window to society'

[proven wedge]

Ended up at Itamae sushi in Akasaka

Lots of foreigners here

[thick anvil]

the supporting act sounds rly good

[lime inlet]

No support act, it's just Amaiwana

with a special guest (Maki Nomiya, formerly of Pizzicato Five)

[thick anvil]

oooh i thought pizzicato five was supporting 😦

but she is a very good singer anyway this maki

does that mean the concert is more than 1h?

[lime inlet]

90 minutes

[thick anvil]

bet I'll listen to the artist a bit more and decide

but so there is no backing band?

im not sure what you mean by solo show

[lime inlet]

She has a guitar/keyboard/electronic manipulator and a drummer backing her up

[thick anvil]
