[chrome aurora]

Well thanks for leading me to a hub for the first time in a decade @torpid trout

[wheat parcel]

Can’t find you?

[chrome aurora]

Bro. Where r u

[hard maple]

Surely it’s not packed on a Monday after last train

Are u not the only lads in there

[chrome aurora]

This is complicated

There are at least 15 people here

[hard maple]

How many r foreigners

[chrome aurora]

Almost everyone

It's hub after all

Still a pretty reasonable nightcap drink I guess

@wheat parcel why won't you tell me what you're wearing. Such a cocktease

[zealous mirage]

????

so naughty of you alfie

[chrome aurora]

[hard maple]

Just go up to everyone

Yolo

[chrome aurora]

I'm not drunk enough for that

[zealous mirage]

go to konbini

get 2 dollar bottle of soju

chug it

ez

[chrome aurora]

Actually they just did last order.

It's been a fun day though. I overheard some American claiming that we don't use the term "shabu shabu resturant" in the USA. He said we call it j-bbq

[chrome aurora]

First time staying in shibuya past last train feels like a bust vs Shinjuku.

So where are we eating after? An ichiran? 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[chrome aurora]

Btw that's illegal now. They have cops blaring on the street that drinking on the streets is illegal

I guess "illegal"

[zealous mirage]

no its just shibuya and shinjuku with

these bans

from certain timings

[chrome aurora]

Well that was fun getting big jebaited

At least I got to see some cool things

[zealous mirage]

never seen scramble so empty

[wheat parcel]

I was in a Nike tech

[chrome aurora]

Bro why are you telling me this after I leave 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Is this ichiran?

How is this trash ramen better than $20 bowls back home

[wheat parcel]

Sorry man, I forgot, my discord doesn’t send any msgs to me

[chrome aurora]

It's all good. I still had a good time

[thick sparrow]

Hiya! 31F from Vancouver, Canada arriving Thursday. I'll be in Japan from Jan 9-28. First solo trip and first time in Japan. I have a few places in mind: Hiroshima/Miyajima, Osaka, Kumano Kodo trail, Kyoto and Tokyo (in that order). Hoping to meet some people! Msg me 🙂

Edit: Would love to know if anyone's doing the Kumano Kodo from 14-17th!

[weary gorge]

No

Seems rare for first timer to do kumano trail? Do let me know if it's good might go there next time

Anyone know how long customs takes to clear

[errant hill]

Also arriving on the 8th

[tawny maple]

5-10mins at the counter

queue to the counter? i dont know

[graceful basin]

Wasn't there a way to fast track customs by filling out an online form?

[cedar cape]

Yeah. Visitjapanweb I believe

[waxen citrus]

Yup ^
If you don’t fill it out you join the gaggle of tourists in the corner rushing to fill out the paper version

[cedar cape]

https://www.vjw.digital.go.jp/main/#/vjwplo001

That's the link if y'all need it

[errant hill]

Great thanks for the advice, I'll do it now

[worthy dome]

Yea it's a real time save

[errant hill]

Once you fill it out, can you just go then? or you still need to show someone you completed it

[worthy dome]

Just show the qr at the thing

[cedar cape]

^

[tawny maple]

Ah finally a much quieter akihabara

Or maybe Tokyo even

I can now browse the computer shops without crowd

[ornate pine]

Hi all! I'm staying near Shinjuku solo travelling till Wednesday 😬

28 M Singaporean here

[tawny maple]

Oh no, my hotel forecast it cloudy then rain today

[desert moon]

Don't miss the best part of Shimokita!
https://www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravel/comments/14sum76/how_to_access_live_music_in_japan_and_why_it/

[cedar cape]

I'm thinking of grabbing lunch at egg baby cafe or Tokyo butcher near okachimachi station, if anyone would like to join

[ruby scarab]

Ohhh. Sounds fun! What’re the afternoon plans? I’m Likely busy until late afternoon/early evening. :/

[near dagger]

[chrome aurora]

Is that a weekend thing?

[desert moon]

Every day

[chrome aurora]

Some guy was playing In Shibuya but wasnt sure if he was homeless

[desert moon]

Weekends have daytime shows (start at midday or so) too

[chrome aurora]

I've never been to kitazawa

Always intend to but never make it

[pine jacinth]

Yer

Arriving in Shibuya/Minato city area tn and gonna stay until January 9th, gonna have all of the 7th and 8th free. Down to do anything

[tawny maple]

Club at 19???

[pine jacinth]

Im gonna try and if i get carded oh well

Ik there might be some more underground clubs that might let me in but the problem is finding them, regardless imma try to get in some clubs

[tawny maple]

I’m calling the mods on you

[desert moon]

They card everyone at the mainstream clubs like Atom

[pine jacinth]

😦

[desert moon]

Here are some underground ones
https://www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravel/comments/1e2u25w/a_music_lovers_guide_to_tokyo_nightclubs/

[pine jacinth]

Tysm

[desert moon]

It's kosher for you to be in there until midnight

[pine jacinth]

Had some friends that got into Atom last time they visited

And they were under 20, I don’t remember if they used fakes or not but that might’ve been the case

[rose orbit]

Lol for now we get 3 priority passes

[desert moon]

I’m going to this on the 8th
https://www.ddinstagram.com/reel/DEd-2-jS6Nh/

All-ages

[thick sparrow]

I'm doing the condensed 4D/3N trek. It doesn't seem too bad and I prefer the outdoors/rural areas to cities, so it made sense for me. I'll let you know how it is!

[pine jacinth]

This looks dope

I’d be interested, I’ll dm u if I’m for sure

boarding the flight rn 🐒🐒😝

[desert moon]

Safe travels

[weary gorge]

Nice to see a fellow Texan! Hope you’ll enjoy Japan!

[hearty pivot]

both Tokyo and here

[desert moon]

Well Tokyo people are back to work today

and tourists using their New Year vacation to visit have gone home

[tawny maple]

Yes it’s quiet

In the shops

Plenty of ppl around

I found this official playstation merchandise shop

[weary gorge]

I know some that if they have events don't card

[weary gorge]

Must've used fakes they always check even the hub bar checks sometimes

[wild jay]

Ngl I thought IDing actually isn't a thing here because I never saw it

[weary gorge]

Have you been to clubs before ?

[wild jay]

yeah

[weary gorge]

Which ones ?

[wild jay]

Uhh cube in Tokyo, Circus in Osaka

[weary gorge]

Well those are underground sort of especially cube is Circus is becoming mainstream slowly

So I'm not surprised cube didn't ID

It's only the mainstream ones

[high eagle]

I want to check that place out! But I feel like staying in today haha. Let me know how it is!

[wild jay]

Oh I met some Mexicans in Fukuoka that hyped it up definitely want to try now

[cedar cape]

I heard there's another good Mexican spot near shibuya that's good but it's further compared to harajuku for me

[hard maple]

Hamasushi tastes weird fr

Kura goated

[primal brook]

Sushiro ftw

[hard maple]

Fuck nah

[mild drift]

Yo this is daddywu, idk why but they banned me

I didn’t even do nun 😢😢

[desert moon]

Your Discord account got banned outright so idk, it's not to do with this server 🤷

[mild drift]

Na I just landed and checked disc and found out I got banned in this server

My account still working

Gonna take the train to my hotel rn and go get some drinks with some Japanese mutuals, after that gonna see what to do

[desert moon]

Update your role to Visitor in Japan id:customize

[mild drift]

[desert moon]

X to Doubt

[hard maple]

Fuck hamasushi wtf

[minor onyx]

[cedar cape]

Dude, it's legit good.

[minor onyx]

holy fuck looks goated

[cedar cape]

Suadero is so good

[primal brook]

I was planning to skip it since I've never had good tacos, and having my first proper tacos in Japan is weird, but this is making me reconcider

[chrome aurora]

Might have to do with the rain

[chrome aurora]

The one in Tokyo sucks ass. Much better in other areas

[chrome aurora]

I agree. That's my go to

Esp the young yellowtail

[cedar cape]

Japan has a bad rep for Mexican food so this is a good change of pace.

[chrome aurora]

Am I supposed to eat flowers?

[chrome aurora]

Immigration will fix that

South east Asians are the future of ramen in Japan

[primal brook]

Anyone else planning anything today in Tokyo? I'm finishing a work call in a few min, and not sure where to head out

[chrome aurora]

I found all the native japanese labor. They're all working at disneysea as cast members

[chrome aurora]

Hub in shibuya

[cedar cape]

Bet

[primal brook]

Which one?

[chrome aurora]

This one?

[silk crypt]

Go here https://maps.app.goo.gl/TFw7p6RSMm7K4yAbA?g_st=ic

[chrome aurora]

Damn I didn't know there were that many hubs

Who wants to go here? https://maps.app.goo.gl/1mKYmSkFdaav64Ru6

And get real classy

[desert moon]

Yes

[chrome aurora]

Honestly kind of tastless

Those flowers in that starbucks earl grey drink are tasty though

[hard maple]

Kura my goat

And that place has no tables I’ve been there

W tuna tho

[hard maple]

Lol u crack me up how long r u in Tokyo for

[chrome aurora]

Leaving tomorrow. Tired AF

[hard maple]

Damn

[chrome aurora]

If I could abandon my child and become a digital nomad here for 6 months I'd prob do it

[hard maple]

That place is too classy eh I wouldn’t be allowed in

[chrome aurora]

Instead I have to drag her along and pay for premium sushi for her that she'll never understand the price of

[hard maple]

Wanted poster with my face

Minecraft ?

[chrome aurora]

Naw just Mickey mouse videos

Has anyone done the muscle girls bar thing yet?

[zealous mirage]

thats an insane thing to say

LOL

[chrome aurora]

Not too insane when you have kids

[zealous mirage]

naw

i love birth control

birth control should be free

then again, i am a vampire, we cant procreate

https://tenor.com/view/cats-gif-3571863

[chrome aurora]

I don't even know the price

Christ she making me order another set of rolls for her. Probably costs something stupid

[distant scarab]

sushiro better

[chrome aurora]

Sushi ro for life

[primal brook]

Speaking of sushiro, anyone wants to go to one?

[thorn raft]

We used to be "Sushiro for life" but lately we like Kura a lot more. It still has kaiten for starters, it is a bit cheaper with the "all plates here are 132 or 150 or whatever depending on the location" and the order plates are also good.

[thorn raft]

We'll probably go to the Ikebukuro Kura after some rounds of maimai, we're about to leave the neko cafe

[cedar cape]

Another rhythm gamer!?

[cedar cape]

If it's tonight, I'll be down for a couple of plates

[thorn raft]

Save for a couple of days over new year, we've not missed a daily login since we touched down on the 12th and we won't stop until we leave on Feb. If my transfer comes through I foresee a good part of my salary going towards maimai

[chrome aurora]

Kura always felt subpar in quality to me and just relied on the gatcha gimmick

[chrome aurora]

Do it

If you can use the app to prebook

[cedar cape]

Neat. I'm a bit out of touch with a few of the games I played, so I respect the determination

[chrome aurora]

I appreciate it when they serve 2 uni dishes

[primal brook]

Where are you based from? I'm in Akasaka so I can go to most major places no problem

[cedar cape]

Tonight is my final night in akiba, but I'm still in harajuku chilling at the taco place. Will be in aomori starting tomorrow.

[thorn raft]

I'm not really a fan of sushi, I don't like raw fish usually, it's only here in JP that I can plop a nigiri and say "hey, I don't hate this" but I clearly can't say what's good and what's bad quality. My GF loves sushi but apparently she's fine with almost anything...

[primal brook]

Either is fine with me

I've just finished sitting in on the 30min meeting that ended up lasting over an hour, so I can head out any time

[chrome aurora]

Either kura and ro would be fine then. Keeps everyone happy

[chrome aurora]

Sounds like a date

[primal brook]

Or we can join up with @thorn raft

I know I didn't much care for Kura, but I've only been there once two years ago so I'm willing to give it another go

[chrome aurora]

What about sushi zanmai?

[primal horizon]

Hello everyone, ill be in tokyo on the 13th. Would love to meet chill people and explore the city. If it matters i'm 24M

[hard maple]

The quality of sushi is the best between the cheap chains

[cedar cape]

Fine with me. As long as @thorn raft is okay with it

[chrome aurora]

It doesn't matter. You could be 42F and people will still meet with u

Streets gonna be empty tonite with all this rain and cold

[distant scarab]

kaiten ginza is pricey but also very good

recommend it for sushi

[distant scarab]

very true

if yall were goin to sushiro another day i woudlve been down

😭

[hard maple]

Zip it kat

It’s kura time.

[cedar cape]

Rain check. 🙏

[distant scarab]

yes

[chrome aurora]

I think the Midori sushi chain of kaiten and normal restaurants is decent

Holy shit this thing is exploding

[distant scarab]

what is tha

[distant scarab]

theres a joke in there but ill get banned if i say it

[chrome aurora]

Roll of various fish

[desert moon]

damn kura upped their game

[distant scarab]

i thoguht ti was a combo of steak and tuna

looks real good tho

[chrome aurora]

Just the various cuts of Tuna

Akami chu toro and o toro

All in 1 obscene bite

[distant scarab]

otoro is my favourite

melt in ur mouth type

[primal brook]

Seems like @thorn raft is not here, and most sushiros have little to no wait time

[distant scarab]

at this hour? 😭

[primal brook]

And I'm starting to get hungry

[primal brook]

I've checked 3, one has 20min, one 15min and one has no wait time

[chrome aurora]

God I would smash some kaiten sushi so hard now if I wasn't already eating sushi

[distant scarab]

its usually crazy busy dinner time at least in shinj

[chrome aurora]

Got so cockteased last night with the hub rendezvous

[thorn raft]

Little to no time? We've always had wait times

[distant scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/merry-yay-lord-of-the-rings-pippin-yes-gif-11694797

But what about second sushi?

[chrome aurora]

I'm only human

I need some drinks in me

[distant scarab]

im abstaining from booze for another week

[chrome aurora]

Honestly I'm so frickin tired

I almost didn't make it to sushi dinnrr

I just wanted to sleep in bed

Didn't even get to use the hotel pool once either

[primal brook]

When are you planning to get to the Kura?

[tawny maple]

it was very cold earlier, is it still cold now as well?

[hallow obsidian]

🍻

[primal brook]

If you are still down for meeting up

[chrome aurora]

Colder

It's ass cold now

And wet

So glad I brought a ski jacket

[primal horizon]

That sounds great, if anyone wants to feel free to shoot me a DM! Im open for whatever

[primal brook]

Sorry, that's my fault. Shit weather has been following me for close to two weeks and I arrived back in Tokyo just today

[chrome aurora]

It's all good. It was supposed to rain all my Taipei portion of the trip but was nice and clear most the time. Same with Japan

Today's been the only bad day

[tawny maple]

sigh i have to quickly dash out for dinner

[chrome aurora]

Unless you're in fukui. I hear the weather's been ass there

[thorn raft]

At least 30 or 45 minutes. But y all are away from ikebukuro aren't you?

[chrome aurora]

Funny I'm headed to ikebukuro after dinner

[primal brook]

Ye, I'm in Akasaka. It's like 35-40min to get there

[hallow obsidian]

Ikebukero getting some love 🙏

[thorn raft]

Don't worry then. We will play some maimai and then see what we do for dinner. It could be kura it could be just some famichiki. The lucky bags have bled me dry.

[primal brook]

Let's say meet up there at 20:30?

[weary gorge]

SUSHIRO OTP

[chrome aurora]

Wait are y'all actually meeting up in ikebukuro?

[thorn raft]

Works for us

[cedar cape]

I'm at harujuku station atm

I should be there in 20 mins

[primal brook]

Which Kura? There seem to be 3 near the station

[chrome aurora]

Someone drop a pin

Also tell is us what you're wearing so we can identify

[thorn raft]

The only one I saw was the one next to the entrance to the underground path to sunshine city. Pin incoming

[chrome aurora]

Ikebukuro?

East side near mutekiya there is one I remmeber

[thorn raft]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/2uNBTCm2xdLtqpj58

[cedar cape]

Gotcha. I'll head over in a bit

[obtuse dust]

Anyone into thrifting or fashion in general want to hit some spots tmrw?

[tawny maple]

Urgh rain is too heavy

I don’t dare to go out now

[zealous mirage]

didnt rain once the entire 2 weeks i was in japan

[distant scarab]

u left already?

[primal brook]

I should get there at exactly 20:30 if Google maps are correct and I manage not to get lost when leaving the subway station

[zealous mirage]

yes

🙁

[thorn raft]

Ok

[zealous mirage]

no more 2 dollar sojus

[zealous mirage]

damn

i mean ive had it snow like crazy

i think that counts as rain

[analog barn]

so sad

i want to bring my trenchcoat but i dont think i should

im backpacking yk so i cant afford to carry this giant jacket in there whenever im not wearing it

[visual island]

My friend picked up a duster from amerikamura just two days ago so maybe they saw this coming. Wish the clothes in this country fit a big boy like me lol.

[analog barn]

real, im hoping im within the lanky tallish threshold to find some decent clothes

[zealous mirage]

how big of a big boy are u

[visual island]

The words 'Mr Thickums' or 'Big titty goth boy' come to mind.

[analog barn]

big titty goth boy is crazy

[zealous mirage]

big titty goth boy?

i have a friend who's interested

@hard maple

[analog barn]

i know a few yea

[visual island]

But nah I'm too big for this country in general. I feel bad sitting down in the trains. It's so Itty bitty.

[primal brook]

Local busses are the worst, especially the seat right behind the back wheels

[chrome aurora]

Lol just left the resturant it's miserable out there

[tawny maple]

May kami sama bless your soul

[chrome aurora]

I can't wait to get slapped by some buff ladies

[tawny maple]

I think I will order more hot soup/noodles

[visual island]

Your mouth to God's ears cousin

[thorn raft]

The buses make me wanna leave. They seem made for the 1.45 35kg Japanese. Because I've seen big people here as well...

[visual island]

Lmao I feel this so hard. I ruined some poor girls trip on the train home because her boyfriend sat one seat apart from me and was forced into a dude sandwich because he didn't want to take one for the team.

She should get a better boyfriend though.

[chrome aurora]

Dude sandwiches are the best

[cedar cape]

@thorn raft @primal brook I'm in the general area for kura

I'm wearing a green parka and blue jean

[chrome aurora]

Subway delays abound

[thorn raft]

3 minutes and we're therw

[cedar cape]

Sounds good. If it was longer I was gonna play at the arcade

[high eagle]

Anyone want to do darts night one of these days? Just play a bunch of darts haha

[cedar cape]

Maybe when I get back from aomori next week.

[high eagle]

Cool, sounds good

[primal brook]

Just arrived, 23m in back waterproof jacket, black pants and black boots

Heading up to Kura

[tawny maple]

I applaud the dedication to go out in the rain

[hard maple]

Yes I love darts hmu

Down to play darts for 5 hours straight

[distant scarab]

[hard maple]

Fine

[distant scarab]

[hard maple]

If we gonna play a long time darts up is expensive

200 yen a game

I’ve played like 500 yen an hour before

Bagus prob has better dart prices

@zealous mirage

What’s Bagus dart price

[zealous mirage]

i think its like 400 yen /30 min

[zealous mirage]

[zealous mirage]

hawk

[cedar cape]

If anyone is going to be in aomori and wants to hang out, hit me up. I'll be here until the 10th

[frozen zinc]

Nothing to do for my last day so was also thinking of the basement bar gig

[rose orbit]

For anyone that take tax free articles, did you declare it once in your destination country or not? The first time i come here in Japan i didn't declare anything and It was fine but i didn't spend that much

[desert moon]

Awesome, you should reserve a ticket when you know you’re ready https://forms.gle/AwEhPVgzMrVB56q2A

[hardy stratus]

Done! Ill try rock up for 6;30-7 ish

[obtuse dust]

In shibuya walking around miyashita park area if anyone wants to join

[cedar cape]

I did when I bought a lot of alcohol, but customs didn't care from my experience.

[dense valley]

do you mean declare once you’re home? o.O

customs in aus didn’t even glance twice and saw the pink bagging with jap writing and let me through 🤣

[rose orbit]

Yeah i think they are only interested in cases of large sums

Ooooh okey, because the last time here in Japan, they attached the receipt to my passaport. I only have to remove It and It was fine. Now they attached nothing but Scanned a QR code on my passport so i dont know if that Is registered now

[zinc vector]

yea its all digital now, there is a machine to scan your passport when leaving, I'm not exactly sure what it does and if it randomly picks someone for a check

[zinc vector]

99% of the time you are fine with customs but if you are picked for a search and didn't declare you will get fined

[analog barn]

it calls to me like the green goblin mask

[pliant palm]

will be at glitch chiyoda tomorrow morning at 8am and then continuing on with a couple more cafes before lunch~ open invite to any folks who are into specialty coffee or are wanting to get into it!

if there is group interest here for glitch, we can also pivot down to ginza glitch and make glitch the latter stop and then double up with pastries at age.3 a few blocks away as well~

[rocky moon]

Anyone in Hakone currently?

[ebon kayak]

Let me know if any of you are around the same time and want to meet up. Would love to meet some new ppl 🙂

Ok yay :) I’m gonna be cutting it fine tho I think I can be there for like 18:00

[haughty mortar]

I am not sure yet when I'll be there I'll let you know

[thorn raft]

Customs in your country will care about whatever customs in your country cares, we cannot know. Some countries don't care, some have a limit, some prohibit personal imports of particular stuff or have limits (alcohol, tabaco, etc). Some things legal in Japan might be illegal in your country (say, loli doujin) etc etc etc.

[hardy stratus]

Im heading towards that direction now will check out the bar, im the tall blonde guy in the hat feel free to come up to me

[carmine plinth]

Hey, I'm planning to head to kyoto around the same time probably the 13th , currently in Tokyo. We can meet up 32M from Chicago food bars walking 👍

Debating if I will go into Golden Gai tonight or not

[worthy leaf]

Getting my picture drawn in tokyo tower

[mild drift]

You by ur self?

Trying to hangout with any of yall and get food or drinks or whatever r

[mild drift]

Is that the red light district

[sterile lily]

It's next to Kabukicho, it's a bunch of tiny independent bars that are all really quirky in tiny buildings, it's about a 50/50 mix of locals and tourists

[mild drift]

Mr oxlong if u go would u like company

[sterile lily]

Hell yeah I'm not 100% Ill go yet need to sort out a cash flow situation first

[mild drift]

Ok I’m on the younger side, do u know if the bars are likely to card

[sterile lily]

Ive never seen it them card, turns out one of the peeps I was out with was 19 the other week and he was fine

[shrewd sigil]

what time r u planning to go?

[sterile lily]

Probably 8.30 9ish

[mild drift]

Bet

[sterile lily]

it's a bit dead before then

[mild drift]

I’m gonna get food then rq

[hard maple]

Make sure u bring cash

Golden gai is like 1000 yen a drink cash

And wear ur smoking clothes

[mild drift]

Good shout, I only got card

[mild drift]

R u fs going? Because I’m all the way in shinagawa and if I were to leave it’ll have to be now

[sterile lily]

[sterile lily]

yeah Im game

[mild drift]

Les do it, gonna go withdraw some money

And make my way to you

What station should I arrive at

[hard maple]

Ur Shinagawa?

[sterile lily]

Shinjuku Sanchome is probably your best bet

[hard maple]

Take Yamanote to shinjuku

[mild drift]

Alr

[hard maple]

Then just walk

[sterile lily]

Or the main one im staying right next to the station

[mild drift]

I’ll come to shinjuku Sanchome

Would there be any reason for me to take my passport?

[sterile lily]

Lmk google's eta Ill walk over there look out for a beard theres not many of us here

[sterile lily]

Doubt it

[mild drift]

Epic

[hard maple]

Illegal not to

[mild drift]

I’m leaving my hotel now

[hard maple]

Ppl don’t tho

[mild drift]

I’ll bring my passport then 😭😭

[hard maple]

It’s just a large fine I think

Many people don’t

I always did fuck that

[mild drift]

Yea I ain’t risking that bs

Without u I would’ve pu no passport no cash

Japretourguide

[hard maple]

These are the basics my friend

Enjoy golden gai it’s a good time with good company even though I hate it

[sterile lily]

any reason why you hate it?

[hard maple]

I’m just a little bitch when it comes to smelling like cigarettes

And I like dirt cheap drinks

Checkout art bar

People in here love that place

Free karaoke

[mild drift]

Going to take advantage of the bar hopping because I can’t do it in the us

For another 2 years

[sterile lily]

Ill hit it up

[mild drift]

And as for withdrawing money, any atm is okay?

[sterile lily]

you'd probably like deathmatch in hell tbf, it's always rammed but its horror movie themed they blast deathmetal in there all night no cover charge and basically everydrink is 666yen

[sterile lily]

if you can bag a 711 atm i generally find theyre the goodones

[sterile lily]

Ill check this out

[mild drift]

Not the biggest fan of metal music but I’m always down for new experiences

[sterile lily]

I think it's shut tn anyway

[hard maple]

7/11 has best rates

But If you go to family mart or Lawson you can get 1000 yen notes

7/11 gives you a 10,000 I believe

[mild drift]

Yea going to 7/11 rn then I’ll be On my way!

[sterile lily]

sounds like the bar's problem

[wicked belfry]

Where you guys meeting?

[sterile lily]

Shinjuku sanchome station

[wild jay]

They don't

[hard maple]

No where will card a foreigner but a club

Unless u literally look 12

And shibuya family marts at night

[wild jay]

Golden gai is pretty fun just insanely overpriced

If you don't mind getting ripped off it can be pretty goated

Check out kenzos bar or halo

[mild drift]

Tried to buy Sapporo at a 7/11 and they id me

But that was to be expected

[wild jay]

Crashout

[mild drift]

[mild drift]

Hey guys - how easy/hard is it to get a nicotine vape in Tokyo? Im going to shimokitazawa tmrw and just thinking surely there lol

[lofty acorn]

Hey! 20M here! I’ll be exploring mostly alone from the 9th to 15th really interested in the coffee crawl in Shimokitazawa if that’s alright with y’all? I’m not that much of a coffee nerd but willing to try it out if it’s an open invite and is okay with y’all!

[high eagle]

Since full vs

[hard maple]

I’ve never seen one

People import juice though

[granite thistle]

[pale sapphire]

Thanks for lmk homie

[zealous juniper]

Hi, 21M staying in shinjuku for 9-14th then Osaka/Kyoto 14-18th. I’m game for everything, love to party, love to sight see, love weird food, I’m solo traveling and would feel better with some company

[hard maple]

I’d look for an alternative, there won’t be a hidden shop selling them or something like that

They have pouches at family mart

And iqos everywhere

Or u can bring ur own I think but there’s a limit on the liquid

120ml

[weary gorge]

Diddy chill

[wicked belfry]

Hey a bit early but anyone wants to go clubbing tonight at shinjuku or shibuya?

[pliant palm]

headed to glitch chiyoda will be there in 15minutes~

[vestal kestrel]

Any good cafe recommendations to work at for some time?

[desert sundial]

@vestal kestrel id recommend going to a Gusto or Jonathan's and getting the drink bar. Unlimited drinks for 580 yen and there's charging sockets

But try to avoid the ones in busy areas near the station, they usually kick you out after 90min to accommodate more customers

[vestal kestrel]

Thanks for the recommendations @desert sundial

[wild jay]

gusto unlimited hot chocolate drink bar is crazy work

[sterile lily]

Yeah we all good

[distant scarab]

this sounds dope what

[desert sundial]

They have strawberry, vanilla, matcha, hot chocolate

And soup

[desert moon]

Heading to this party in Shibuya today, who’s in
https://www.ddinstagram.com/reel/DEd-2-jS6Nh/

[distant scarab]

hot chocolate soup

[desert sundial]

Damn I wish, the soup is pretty basic tho, it's mostly liquids, very little actual food in there

[hallow obsidian]

I want hot choccy

[desert sundial]

Another pro tip: when filling the hot chocolate, pull out early! Because the machine dilutes the drink with hot water at the end. You'll end up with less hot chocolate, but it tastes a lot better imo

[hallow obsidian]

Thx m8. I'll have to become good at pulling out early

[wild jay]

Yeah and a bunch open 24/7 is pretty goated at 3am

[distant scarab]

goin after clubbing sounds like it would be free therapy

[sterile lily]

This looks pretty dope

So half is in the www and the other in wwwx can you flip between the two is it one ticket?

[desert moon]

Yep

[sterile lily]

oh sweet, if I can wrap my head around getting out again tonight I might go

[desert moon]

Ticket reservation (¥500 cheaper than door ticket) is until 4pm

[sterile lily]

Hey yall! 23M but with a 17M younger bro, turning 18 Jan 29 though, so close I swear, and we were wondering if they are strict when it comes to underaged drinking in Japan, cause I wanted to bring my bro to the club this fri/sat. We both come from the Philippines, in a lot of places they dont id you or care if yall are underaged or not. We both party ever so often, and we both want to experience the clubs there in Tokyo.

[wild jay]

Ask @mild drift

[rose basalt]

@mild drift you think my brother n I got a chance🥹?

[hard maple]

Club is a no go

Every club ids

[rose basalt]

danggg 🥲
aight thanks for the info

[hard maple]

But like someone said before, maybe something “underground” they wouldn’t

[wild jay]

I'll say that I never got IDed

Tokyo Cube for example

[hard maple]

Atom, zero Tokyo, tk, 1oak, womb,

All ID

[wild jay]

Cube is actually fun as hell I hope I can go again

[hard maple]

Where is it?

[wild jay]

Roppongi

[hard maple]

Looks cool

[wild jay]

It's goated

[desert moon]

Drinking age is 20

Yes the smaller clubs do not ID. You are even legally allowed in there for daytime (until ~11pm) events

[hearty pivot]

49M, France, staying in Asakusa too. Up to join for any coffee around here tomorrow or on friday. I know some good spots (please don't go to Fuglen)

[desert moon]

Same is true for bigger clubs actually. But they rarely have daytime events except more culture-focussed ones like clubasia

[hearty pivot]

If you get around Asakusa, I'd join to a good macha latte spot. If you're really about great coffee experience, I'm looking for people to join me to Brewman before I leave on saturday. It's close to Shibuya

[granite thistle]

Who’s discord is the guys that went into the club with us last night

[sterile lily]

I left with pimp daddy when he got denied but I believe you're looking for @wicked belfry and @high eagle

[sterile lily]
