[craggy mantle]

I think with Justin we got 6

[junior bramble]

@junior bramble @craggy mantle @boreal obsidian @mild oak @cloud olive @vale heron @mellow trellis 7pm yakiniku booked

[craggy mantle]

okie

[boreal obsidian]

Woo! I'm looking forward to it

[craggy mantle]

was hoping to be able to book without a plan oh wells

[junior bramble]

yeah i don't think they let me sorry

[fallen sky]

Anyone in kyoto??

[quick idol]

Try https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1351195312043069490 too

[junior bramble]

8th spot filled for yakiniku, see you all tonight!

[junior bramble]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/XU7aAnM1UgubistG8

the address for the yakiniku on maps

[prime cloud]

Anyone gonna be in Matsumoto/Nagano the next few days?

[mystic grotto]

Would suggest everyone have cash ready for payment beforehand. We've had cases where sometimes people in big groups say they'll pay and do not and others have to cover

Just a safety precaution 🙂

[junior bramble]

yeah guys bring cash

[quartz axle]

Lool wankers

[bright island]

What’s wrong with you

[craggy mantle]

that's understandable kinda but still should be prepared

[bleak garnet]

7/11 ATM will give you 1000Y notes if you withdraw 10000. Other conbinis only give 10000y notes

[cloud olive]

If anyone wants to come by the Taito Station near the yakiniku place before dinner, I’d be happy to help you win some crane games 👀

[craggy mantle]

lmaoooo we'll head over but no crane games

[cloud olive]

damn lol. I’m still at my place in Shinjuku so I may be later than yall

Trying to dry out my shoes

[quartz axle]

Are those shoe dryer things in laundromats effective?

[cloud olive]

Great question

[craggy mantle]

thought you're already there 💀

[cloud olive]

Nah was gauging interest, my b

[boreal obsidian]

Aw man I want some crane games. I suck at those

[alpine lantern]

I swear they make those harder every year

[tardy basin]

Hello! I’m arriving Tokyo on May 26 then I’m heading to Osaka on the 27th. Will be back at Tokyo on the 31st then my last day is June 4 since my flight is on June 5. For specific plans and stuff, I normally free style Tokyo days (been here 4 times this past year) but for Osaka I’m going to the expo for 1 day (I know it’s not enough but better than nothing), visiting Kyoto, and a free day with a Japanese friend at Dotonbori

[mellow trellis]

😢

[cloud olive]

I can still come by lol. Ain’t too late

In fact I will probs head over now

[mellow trellis]

Its our sad face

[boreal obsidian]

Sorry, which one is it?

[cloud olive]

[boreal obsidian]

Okay, thank you!

Dang, no worries

[junior bramble]

[mellow trellis]

[cloud olive]

Hell yeah

This Taito has some mid prizes but some decent “games”

[sharp linden]

Don’t forget the gondola

https://maps.app.goo.gl/46ijLFYWgarBYM7PA?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

[solid lark]

obviously Chinatown as well

[junior bramble]

ya it'll be everything, or as much of

@boreal obsidian yokohama tomorrow but not sure what time yet, maybe get there 10 to get when everything opens?

then dinner with @mellow trellis somewhere in tokyo

current plans so far

[gleaming anchor]

Would tag along if that's fine for you

Already planned to go there tomorrow anyway

[junior bramble]

yeah sure! was planning to just meet at yokohama maybe because everyone's coming in from different places in tokyo anyway

i 100% wanna hit the ramen museum though, thinking getting there at 11am which is when it opens

[gleaming anchor]

Sounds like a plan, so ~10 or what are you aiming for?

[junior bramble]

can get to yokohama earlier to walk around first before that yeah

it will be 10ish, latest by 11 & if i end up getting there by 11 i'll meet at ramen museum. will depend on when i wake up lol

[frank willow]

Anybody want to meet up? Ill be in Tokyo on Sunday and Im staying for 5-6 days then moving to Osaka

[boreal obsidian]

Awesome!!! I have 0 plans so I am so down, it looks like it'll take an hour to get to Yokohama

[mellow trellis]

In my case, I'm up to join you all when you get back

Since I'm going to spend the night away

[junior bramble]

yeah an hour for me too, will see you & @gleaming anchor in yokohama then!

[junior bramble]

bro are you actually still out drinking 💀

[mellow trellis]

Y

[junior bramble]

wdym y are you actually going to stay out until 5am

the dedication lmao

[mellow trellis]

Probably either that or im walking home

[junior bramble]

🫡

[boreal obsidian]

I have no idea why Google maps suggested it'd take 3 hours to get there 😂 I think it's confused

[vale heron]

Make sure to take the express train! so much faster than the local

[craggy mantle]

when I go back Imma learn how to sing 😭

[mellow trellis]

Dw I ll keep you updated when I get home so no one worries

[gleaming anchor]

about 1 hour for me aswell

[coarse eagle]

Anyone currently in japan yet?

[quick idol]

[mellow trellis]

Bro dw the point is to have fun ☺️

[real radish]

Any Canadians going?

I’m leaving next week

[frank willow]

[vital marsh]

[junior bramble]

@boreal obsidian @gleaming anchor hey i think at this rate i might only get there at 11 sorry, miscalculated times

i might just see you both straight at the Ramen museum if you were both interested in those?

[boreal obsidian]

No worries! I'm heading there early so I can explore and walk around, take as long as you need!

I'll make sure to stay in the general area of the ramen museum

[gleaming anchor]

alright I'm also omw now aswell

[boreal obsidian]

I'll be there around 1030ish anyway actually

[junior bramble]

apparently there's some delays on the tracks so idk how long i'll be, but it'll be close to before 11

[austere cliff]

Ah my partner isnt feeling well so we may stay closer to where our hotel is unfortunately

[gleaming anchor]

So we wanna meet up at the Ramen Museum at around 11?

[vital marsh]

youre all good hope they feel better 🙏

[junior bramble]

[junior bramble]

idk either but we'll find out lmao

[gleaming anchor]

[cloud olive]

it’s true though. my best memories here were just walking through random small neighborhoods off the beaten path

[still haven]

Doing things I’m not the most comfortable with normally have been the highlights of my trip tbh.

[bronze onyx]

Anyone in Takaoka or Toyama today?

[vital marsh]

Anyone in Shibuya or shinjaku rn?

[cunning lynx]

Hey! I will be in Japan from 5/23-5/30 (Sapporo 5/23-5/25, then Tokyo the rest of the time) Will be down to meet up and explore more of Tokyo with some people!

[bleak garnet]

[cunning lynx]

Nice! Maybe we can meet up. It's gonna be my first time in Sapporo and I am just mostly winging it

[junior latch]

I'll be in tokyo between 20-22 & 30 if you fancy doing something ✌🏽

[bleak garnet]

There's a really cool baseball stadium in Sapporo. I might go watch a game

[junior bramble]

[junior bramble]

[narrow egret]

[mint nebula]

[narrow egret]

Hell yeah, I'm down, I'm in Shibuya and I've been in Tokyo all of 6 hours but I'll see if I can make the train! I'll at Ikebukoro by 16:30 or something

[sharp linden]

[mint nebula]

[sharp linden]

Enjoy lads

Get slapped 😂

[modest matrix]

Arm wrestle

[narrow egret]

I have no idea what I'm getting my self into 😂

[modest matrix]

At least its not dudes

[junior bramble]

yeah pay to get slapped

do the challenge

[mystic grotto]

The macho bar is also clutch

[junior bramble]

i also want to go to the macho bar at some point

[amber wadi]

If you can take a video of the place when you're there, that would be really awesome.

[bright island]

You have to buy muscle bucks to pay for services

Some people already did and have posted on YouTube

[mint nebula]

yeah some nice vids on tiktok as well but ill try to get some and share

[sharp linden]

Muscle bucks 😂

[narrow egret]

You're ruining the surprise, guys 😂😂

[amber wadi]

Kiniku no kane

[bright island]

https://www.tokyoweekender.com/entertainment/sports-fitness/muscle-girls-bar-tokyo/

[narrow egret]

I was looking for dinner, but it seems I found a beating instead 😂

[bright island]

https://musclegirls.jimdofree.com/system/

It costs 1000yen to get slapped or kick

I hope it’s the same muscle girl bar that you are going to

[junior latch]

You freaky deaky guys 😂 have a good time 💪🏽

[pallid depot]

Sounds more dangerous than fun 😂

[bright island]

It’s not freaky

It’s like a themed bar

Or themed cafe

Or “hooters”-like

[junior latch]

Yeah but paying to get slapped/kicked 👀 I know a fetish when I hear one 😂

[bright island]

But it seems popular

I pay good money too

For such activities

[junior bramble]

i'd be keen to go again to muscle girl bar & macho bar if anyone wants to go next time

[junior latch]

Id be down but without the violence 😂 im assuming the macho bar is a magic mike kinda vibe?

[bright island]

Not really, you are served alcohol by fit girls

Any extra, you pay with “muscle bucks”

[junior latch]

That I can be down for 💪🏽

[quartz axle]

I'd be down

Not gonna get slapped but i'm curious lol

[sharp linden]

I think so

[bright island]

People like being served at maid cafe, others like to be served by fit girls

Concept is the same

Also muscle girls goes against the kawaii stereotypes

[junior bramble]

yeah its not a fetish thing, unless people make it weird

[bright island]

That’s why it’s unique

[junior bramble]

i went last year & it was p wholesome

[sharp linden]

Def not a fetish thing lol

[junior bramble]

the girls were just super proud of themselves

as they should

[bright island]

Confidence is sexy

[sharp linden]

Let them be 😭

[junior bramble]

@quartz axle @junior latch just lmk when you guys are available to go

[quartz axle]

I'll be in tokyo from Friday to Tues, anytime works tbh. Only got teamlabs on saturday at 12pm

[bright island]

Remember it only opens at 5pm

[junior bramble]

ah rip i leave tokyo on saturday & think i made plans for the fri night

[bright island]

So no such thing as morning or afternoon visit

[quartz axle]

Ahh damn

[junior bramble]

let me double check

[sharp linden]

U talking about muscle girls or macho

Muscle you need reso

[quartz axle]

Yeah i think its all you can drink for x amount which is not bad tbh

[quartz axle]

Not #1364303768203694160 is it?

[junior bramble]

no different

but i think i can do 5pm slot on friday

[quartz axle]

Aha nice

[junior bramble]

[cloud olive]

I hope you found someone, that’s quite an experience

[quartz axle]

https://e.japanticket.com/shops/muscle_girls/products/9682?lang=en

[junior bramble]

[junior bramble]

😔

[cloud olive]

DONT MAKE ME GO BACK TO THE USA PLEASE

[junior bramble]

just simply dont leave

what are they gonna do

[quartz axle]

Passport into the shredder

[mystic grotto]

Macho bar is harassment bht they freshly squeeze fruits in yr drinks so it's fine

[cloud olive]

so true!

[junior bramble]

wdym harrassment 😭

[mystic grotto]

You'll understand when you go 😂

[quartz axle]

Now i'm curious

[junior bramble]

muscle girl bar is the one we're going to

though

[quartz axle]

Muscle girl one looks wholesome tbh

[mystic grotto]

Wekl if u do go macho bar

[junior bramble]

i would be keen for macho bar since i've been to muscle girl bar

[quartz axle]

I'm cool with either

[cloud olive]

yeah ain’t no harassment here unless i pay for my pp to be whacked

[mystic grotto]

Can't say for tokyo experience but I went to the one in kyoto

[junior bramble]

i mean that's one thing i can do in kyoto if i get bored lol

[cloud olive]

can harassment be welcomed?

[mystic grotto]

I believe there's another version in tokyo

Near art bar if I'm not mistaken

Never been in it

[junior bramble]

yeah but tokyo is becoming fully booked for me

[mystic grotto]

Bjt they shouted at me on the street

[junior bramble]

what

do i wanna go now 💀

[cloud olive]

yeah never go with street hawkers

[mystic grotto]

No idea LOL they were walking around in tank tops and shouted some word at me when I walked by in kabukicho

Then walked away

[cloud olive]

just go by your own accord

[junior bramble]

wait so the one in Tokyo was harassing you? or the one in Kyoto?

i guess either is bad lol

[cloud olive]

in my experience the street hawkers only call you if they know you speak Japanese. I didn’t get bothered at all

[quartz axle]

Hmm if we do muscle girl in tokyo i'm gonna check out the macho bar in kyoto and see how they are with men lol

[mystic grotto]

The one on kyoto they just really get in ur personal space and make u touch them 😂

[junior bramble]

yeah that was kinda my plan

[mystic grotto]

It's fun to go once

[junior bramble]

when are you going to kyoto @quartz axle

[quartz axle]

13-16

[junior bramble]

yo

muscle girl friday

macho bar in kyoto

[quartz axle]

Lool lets do it

[junior bramble]

im in osaka/kyoto 10 to 16

[quartz axle]

Sick, yeah i'm going to osaka on the 16th

[junior bramble]

i'll be based in osaka but it's easy to just train into kyoto

[quartz axle]

Short train ride yeah

[junior bramble]

oh let's do the 14th, i have to go to kyoto because of the nintendo museum anyway

[quartz axle]

Sure

[junior bramble]

okay locked in

ez

[quartz axle]

😆

[junior bramble]

i'll dm you for details, but i'm asking a couple of other people as well outside of this discord if they wanna come too @quartz axle

[quartz axle]

Might pick up some strays since i'm staying in a hostel in tokyo, unless there isn't any reservations left on friday

[quartz axle]

Sounds good

[junior latch]

Im not in japan until the 20th 🥲 but if anyone still there afterwards then hollaa

[vital marsh]

[junior bramble]

[pallid depot]

[junior bramble]

@sand vortex @mellow trellis @cobalt coral joypolis tomorrow at 11am, meet you all there!

[cobalt coral]

Sounds good

[mellow trellis]

I'll be there

[floral linden]

Just leaving the airport. Pretty excited

[past epoch]

@pine hedge dm sent. Hmu if you want to go on a culinary adventure

[solid grotto]

Anyone interested in going to see Japanese wrestling? 14th may

[frank willow]

Are the tickets available on site?

[junior latch]

I thought the tournament tickets were all gone?

[frank willow]

Yeah I bet they need reservations and its sold out now

[junior latch]

I think you can still catch those sumo & dinner events tho

[solid grotto]

This isn’t sumo wrestling. It’s like wwe style but abit different

[frank willow]

Ah

I know the sumo tournament is being held too at a similar date

[solid grotto]

Yeah this event is near Tokyo domb

[wind fern]

Went to get tickets for Shibuya Sky for the 22nd, was going for 6 pm, unused to 24 hour time in the heat of the moment I accidentally got 16:00 rather than 18:00 even though I had written down 18:44 as sunset 😅

Oh well

[sharp linden]

At least you can enter and just wait

If you booked entry after your cooked

There’s a bar up there and some seats

[wind fern]

Yeah

Ok if I can eat up there then that’s fine

[sharp linden]

Hmmmmm I’m not sure if there’s food

I’ve only been to the rooftop bar but a floor down there’s a bar bar

I bet that has something

[junior latch]

I got the 16:20 ticket 😅 was a bit of a struggle ngl

[wind fern]

That’s my day to just be in that general area anyway. I have tickets for Borderless at 10 AM, then there are a few places from Your Name in the area I was gonna visit as well, so not a huge deal if I gotta spend some time in the place.

[junior latch]

Same tbf, just gona see whats about there..im doing borderless the day before so wont be in a rush

[wind fern]

What day are you doing Shibuya Sky?

[junior latch]

22nd

[wind fern]

Oh ok nice same day. We should meetup there then, if you want.

[junior latch]

Yeah why not, grab a drink or food if they have it ✌🏽 I know theres a bar but unsure if we can go in without another ticket

[solid lark]

Been awhile so just going to relink this https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15c128ZQYqlzlU-47PTCHQ3HfzKgVtG7-KSwnm8CsX28/edit?usp=sharing

[narrow egret]

The muscle mommies was definitely an unique experience! Had a fun evening yesterday, thanks bud! Nice meeting you 🤩

[vital marsh]

Did everything but the shibuya sky am i missing alot?

[south rock]

It's honestly a great view, personally from those I've done it's been my favorite of the many observation decks in Tokyo.

It is also one of the most expensive ones and by far the biggest pain to book for. YMMV on whether it's worth the trouble.

[vital marsh]

rahh yeah booking it was the hard part, couldnt find a time and now ill modt likely have to skip out on it 💔

[junior bramble]

btw for those going to joypolis, remember to eat beforehand

idk if there's food there & likely it'll be a scam if they did

[boreal obsidian]

There's just Dippin dots lol

[junior bramble]

rip

[south rock]

If you want my second favorite observation deck, it's the Tokyo city view in Roppongi.

Should be easy to get tickets even for sunset and they have a neat expo on Osamu Tezuka's Phoenix going on bundled in.

Otherwise there's also the Tokyo metropolitan government building's observatory in shinjuku, which is free too.

[vale heron]

Is it better in Japan?!

[boreal obsidian]

Dippin dots in japan are the exact same!! It was disappointing

[junior bramble]

i've arrived around the area but going to stop by toyosu market first since there's still time, if anyone is around that area already

[still haven]

There’s a little cafe n vending machines on the 2nd floor

[clear mason]

Heeeey, exploring Shinjuku some more this evening, Day 2! 39F solo Irish just getting over the overwhelm! Any other solo peeps trying to get their bearings and wanna get beer/food and talk adventures and being brave through anxiety, lmk!

[dense mortar]

[still haven]

Is anyone in the Sapporo for the next 3 days?

[craggy mantle]

[bright island]

I love this number

[worn mural]

i'm there from 15th to 22nd in tokyo! down to meet up with a group (27M btw)

[kind wagon]

In the 8/9th thread we are arranging a bar hop tonight in Shibuya. Starting at 7pm 🙂

[dense mortar]

where’s the meeting spot? i might tag along for a bit 🙂

[kind wagon]

In the thread we’ll coordinate once we get closer. I will try and be at the station around 6:45. We might get dinner as well if we can find a spot for all of us 🙂

[quick idol]

Hi see if you’re interested in this #1362782100750729336

[dense mortar]

ay ay captain. couldnt find the thread but please do let the chat know once decided

[bleak sparrow]

Anyone's down for a karoke night?

[half forge]

Sounds like a plan! How long are you in Tokyo for? I’m in Jiyūgaoka which is far less touristy but also overwhelming in that they are not prepared for foreigners in the same way Shibuya or Shinjuku are.

[halcyon narwhal]

hello, anyone gonna be in kamakura on the 10th?

[sharp linden]

I love jiyugaoka

[half forge]

I had no idea what the area was like but it turned out to be pretty cool.

[clear mason]

Hey! Oh wow, you are quite far out of the main tourist parts, cool! I'm in shin-okubo today, in tokyo until Sunday! Trying to think of a weekend plan given how busy everything will be! Got any plans for the weekend? 🙂

[floral linden]

https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1364303768203694160

[sharp linden]

Has everything you need. Lots of chains too

[half forge]

So far, thinking of going to Ashikaga Flower park tomorrow for the Wisteria illuminations before the weather goes bad and checking out the Kanda Matsuri festival on Saturday.

[sharp linden]

Some great izakayas there as well

And convenient transit

[half forge]

An insane amount of tempting cafes as well, and surprisingly a dentist on every corner apparently

[clear mason]

Oohhh for real? I was thinking about hitting that up next week. Was gonna explore Shibuya tomorrow but kinda worried everything everywhere will be totally crammed 😮

[half forge]

Well, the bad weather reports are only for the weekend, so you should still be able to check it out next week.

[half forge]

Sounds like I should organize a meet up here!

[brazen prawn]

If anyone wants to hang out in Asakusa tomorrow, please let me know. I'll be hanging around a few of my favorite places to eat and drink. If you want to meet a few locals, this is a good opportunity.

Planets is quite a bit smaller than borderless

[sharp linden]

Borderless for sure

[mystic grotto]

Borderless

[half raven]

Do both. But between the two, Borderless

[solid lark]

[grave void]

[civic fractal]

[indigo coyote]

I’m flying into Japan on Tuesday! Does anyone have any information about luggage forwarding they can share with me?

[half raven]

It's for sure more fun with company, maybe you can meet up with someone from this server?

And have you bought the tickets? Kinda late if you want to go next week

[half raven]

No

[civic fractal]

yup! just bought earlier hehe i’ll be going on Wed

[half raven]

[quiet plinth]

[solid lark]

I checked the insta, looked at some reels, and im def into it

[junior latch]

Lets goooo

[junior bramble]

can't you just change the hotel dates instead, 6 hour round trip 😭

[junior latch]

Why are you like this 😂 dont make me

[junior bramble]

wdym you're the one saying you'd go to Kyoto only to come back straight after 😭😭

[dense mortar]

yeah i’ll def check it out. i’m a sucker for reggaeton, bachata, dembow, etc lol

[junior latch]

My guyyy

[junior latch]

When I booked the hotel, the event datea werent out yet..but if I can i may try switch dates...worst case, im staying ina capsule for the night 😂

[junior bramble]

ripp

if your super keen to go, surely they'd be okay for you to just move out the date by one

[junior latch]

Ima look into it in the next 20mins..just getting home, again worst case ill book a capsule room for the night no stress..would be sick catching a latin night

@quiet plinth @solid lark @junior bramble if you're all down, im happy to get my ticket 😄

[quick idol]

I'm sure Kyoto has some too (on smaller scale than Tokyo ofc)

https://www.el-coyote.com/

[junior bramble]

capsule rooms arent the worst, if anything you can just get a net café

[junior latch]

Yeh or the 24hr onsen..get a chillout night

[solid lark]

[junior bramble]

would you mind linking the ticket site please

[solid lark]

Lucky

[quick idol]

You can look up some past events playing the genre and check where those DJs are playing next, too
https://www.instagram.com/p/C-gtif-yaFT/

[junior latch]

Will do

https://yonagunifiesta.com/products/tokyo-friday-may-23th-tide-tokyo?utm_source=copyToPasteBoard&utm_medium=product-links&utm_content=web&variant=47504985161968

[junior bramble]

oh nice free cancellations if needed

also only 2k for me lol

okay i'll book for now

[junior latch]

Im reaching home in 5..will book soon as I get in

[junior bramble]

hopefully nothing dodgy if it's cheaper for the women, i will just straight up not drink anything there

HMMMMMMMMMMMM

their promo video is sus as shit lmao

[junior latch]

Nah doubt it, clubs here (uk) tend to do the same, cheaper, if not free, entry for females while males pay 😂

[junior latch]

Really? How so?

[junior bramble]

their promo vid is just girls

then girls grinding on guys

it's the vid on the ticket page

[quiet plinth]

Getting home from work in a bit will check it out

[junior latch]

They've had big artists perform in tokyo last year

[junior bramble]

sorry i meant girls twerking

[junior latch]

😂😂 just for peace of mind, no grinding will be necessary from anyone..do what you wana do 😄

[junior bramble]

i'll book anyway if this is meant to be reputable, if i feel more sussed out i'll just cancel before the 21st

[junior latch]

Thats all fair

Iv been to many latin event (in the uk) its never been over the top, ppl tend to know their bondaries 🙌🏽

[solid lark]

Its pretty standard club promos imo

[quick idol]

Any club that has cheaper entry for women is advertising itself as a pickup spot and you will find lots of thirsty dudes in there

[junior bramble]

oh yeah 100%

[odd widget]

then IRL it's just a bunch of people standing around, barely moving to the music

[junior latch]

And by all means if you ever feels uncomfortable, im sure the guys here will do their best to keep you away from any creepy vibes

[solid lark]

Well form a wall for u

[junior latch]

We'll keep ours safe if need be 💪🏽

[junior bramble]

thank you that would be appreciated, hopefully doesn't come to that

[odd widget]

if a wall is needed you prob don't wanna be there lol 😭

[junior latch]

Honestly i dont think it will, but im sure the guys here are dependable 🙌🏽

[odd widget]

I'll be in Osaka that night, hopefully something cool is happening then

[junior latch]

Worst case, we all leave and go enjoy our time elsewhere

[junior bramble]

yeah

if its that bad probs best to just leave anyway

[junior latch]

We'll come osaka 😂

[junior bramble]

it wouldnt be fun for you guys either

[odd widget]

ohhh right on the 23rd I'm doing an Osaka bar crawl

I can't believe this trip is so soon 😭

[junior latch]

As someone who has been out with his sister a few times, im no stranger to forming a barrier at times..but in all honesty i dont think it'll get to that point 🤞🏼 if we assume, we'll never do anything there haha

[junior bramble]

ive never really been to japan clubs so cant say

[junior latch]

Me neither but i stand my ground for myself an others anywhere, iv never heard things in japan being that bad so i feel it'll be ok

[quiet plinth]

https://www.instagram.com/yonagunifiesta?igsh=emtjMHo4bTN4ZGJ1

can get a feel by lookin thru the tagged posts

[junior latch]

I havent looked, whats it saying?

[junior bramble]

honestly the aerial acts look cool

i'd go for that

[junior latch]

If at any point anyone feels uncomfortable, im happy to move elsewhere..we aint got time for bad vibes

Well iv copped mine, anyone else interested then go ahead 😄

[junior bramble]

yeah I've got my ticket too

[junior latch]

@junior bramble legendddd

Let me know how the muscle girl bar is. It looks hella fun hahaha

[quartz axle]

Muscle girl bar is the only thing that can wake me up at this point, I am tired from travelling lol

[prime cloud]

Anyone want to meet up to do something in Tokyo on Sunday?

[still haven]

Bruh I might go to Tokyo just for that. Do some pull ups and have them pick me up. Hahahaha also get ridiculously drunk… of course

[frosty pine]

It’s a great time

[quartz axle]

That's the plan

Nah I'm just gonna observe I have no idea what this is all about, haven't seen any vids on it lol

[still haven]

Don’t. Just go hahaha

[quartz axle]

Spoiler free experience 😆

[cloud mica]

Where do you book muscle girl bar?

[still haven]

How much is sumo practice?

[prime cloud]

Hahaha she would be more confused than anything

[narrow egret]

Awesome! I'm making my way over to the train station in Tokyo soon

[cloud mica]

I paid about £65 through booking.com. Though I’ve seen what I believe is the same event listed for £80+ on getyourguide, Klook, etc.

So shop around if you’re considering.. I can link the one I booked here if you’re interested

[junior bramble]

It's at 5pm no?

[junior bramble]

yeah

[quartz axle]

Unless you're out and have to walk for it lol

[junior bramble]

[quartz axle]

Yeah that's fair tbh

[dense mortar]

heading to ramen hayashida in shinjuku if anyone wants to get some

[cloud olive]

On the way to the airport really love this city, thank you to everyone I met being so damn awesome. I will be back!!!!

[quartz axle]

I have no plans after muscle girl bar, I think a few people were supposed to do #1364303768203694160 but idk if that's happening

Mt. Takao? about 45-60 minutes from Tokyo

more than a hill haha but can go as high as you like I imagine

[craggy mantle]

if you walk up course 1 without taking the lift or cable car it's a v big hill 😂 😂

[pure light]

haha yea depends how much a hill you want to climb 😂

[cloud mica]

A big amount

Google is saying 2.5h to get there via public transport, is there anything closer?

[pure light]

you can do a cable, or walk up

[craggy mantle]

we mistakenly walked up trail 1 instead of 6

[pure light]

I think that's the actual mountain itself, the station is much closer

it's a bit confusing

[craggy mantle]

it's like 45 mins from shinjuku

and the trail is pretty much there

[pure light]

yea just get to the station nearby then the base is super close

[cloud mica]

Ah right, yeah that’s 1.5h, much better

[craggy mantle]

was a nice hike go for it

[cloud mica]

Anyone wanna do that with me Sunday afternoon?

[craggy mantle]

and on clear day you can see fuji

we didn't see it today

[pure light]

possibly down, been meaning to go

see how the weather is

[craggy mantle]

if you're keen to hike would recommend going up trail 6 and going down on the chairlift

[prime cloud]

Ohh I have looked at Takao many times but always been thrown off by the travel time

[pure light]

if you put the station it's not far Takaosanguchi Station

I went last year for a fire walk monk thing haha

[trail bone]

The Mt Takao Klook pass is a pretty good deal I think?

[craggy mantle]

don't know what that is but you don't need anything special

[bright island]

I’m heading to airport. Will arrive at 6am

[thorn arrow]

[halcyon narwhal]

anyone gg kamakura today??

[bright island]

I’ve arrived at my hotel in akihabara

I’m free until 2pm then I’m going for my superhero show

[supple sky]

@bright island if you are down to do something in Akihabara, I can head over that way. Went for an early morning walk around Tokyo Station

[bright island]

I need to look at computer parts prices

I need to buy an umbrella

[supple sky]

Sounds like some fun, that is if you don't mind me tagging along

[bright island]

Don’t mind but things don’t open until 11am? I think

[supple sky]

Yeah most things still closed

Think yodabashi might open at 930 though

[bright island]

Yea

I would say 10 or 1030 to wait for the rest of the shops

Since I am finally, I’m going to check again if anyone is interested in this event on the 18th. You have to buy the pamphlet.

https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1360943063274360852

[dense mortar]

if youre gonna look at gpu prices, id love an update

[bright island]

Yeah, I wonder if I should check before or after the superhero show

[dense mortar]

id go before, since it is saturday and any good deals would be gone quick

[vapid nacelle]

where to see kanda matsuri festival, whats a good place to see the parade and festivities?

[quick idol]

Going somewhere musical today but haven't decided yet #1370549576116998266

[bright island]

I’m abit tired from my flight still. Going to find a place to relax instead

[agile gate]

Has anyone here done fun2drive or plan to?

[sturdy verge]

Is anyone interested in this wisteria themed cafe in tokyo on the 13 or 14 of may? Its 7k yen

I can make the reservation and have to go 😭 but I didn't realize it's 2 people minimum

[supple sky]

I'll be in Akihabara for a bit if anyone wants to hang out or get some lunch.

[junior latch]

I was looking into it but the car/route I wanted to do wasnt available at the time..when you looking to go?

[agile gate]

I'm currently booker on the hakone and mt fuji trip on the 19th but im debating on canceling it due to them not allowing video footage. I was wondering if they even checked it or anything. Don't wanna spend 600 dollars and have no video especially on the track

[junior latch]

So from my understanding is you get to stop at certain spots for pics/vids with the cars but in terms of footage of you driving, only if you have someone else there with you (iv seen youtubes of ppl doing this) but yeah I get you, personally I feel their prices are a tad high and doesnt even include fuel or tolls 🫠

[quick idol]

Looks like most people are interested in this show so lmk if you want to jump in, it's a super fun lineup

[worthy steppe]

hi, I'm Luka 23 years old from Argentina. Very late post I'll be in tokyo may 22-25 and wondering if theres someone to make some plans with!

[thorn arrow]

Imma be in Tokyo from May 21-25

Was wondering if anyone is up for a day trip to fujikawaguchiko on May 22

[worthy steppe]

YES.

[thorn arrow]

Can I also join?

[worthy steppe]

didn't even consider going there, im up for it

[thorn arrow]

Cool
I'm planning to take the train there and then maybe cycle around to get nice views

[junior latch]

@worthy steppe @thorn arrow We have a seperate chat if you guys are interested https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1370210007496523876

[quick idol]

Chance of seeing Mt. Fuji in May is 50/50 (maybe less in late May), so fingers crossed you get lucky

[thorn arrow]

Didn't get to see last year in Sept also 😭
Made this trip again as an excuse to see it 😆

[final pollen]

How long you here for? Im in the area, can meet up if youre still down

[supple sky]

@final pollen I'll be here for awhile, no set time just kinda been walking and seeing where I endup lol. You interested in getting some lunch?

[agile gate]

They emailed me and said I could take photos at anytime so I think I'll just try my luck tbh

[final pollen]

Always down for food . Walking from the station now so itll be a few. Where you wanna meet?

[supple sky]

Currently I'm at the electric town south exit of the station

[final pollen]

Ah im coming from yushima station actually lol

[supple sky]

No worries lol I'll be here

[final pollen]

On my way there. Video call in a few once im closer?

You i know who im looking for lol

So i know who*

[supple sky]

Sure thing just send me a message

[junior latch]

If in doubt, check some youtube vids and see what others have done..iv seen some complain of a silimar thing but have seen others also get footage by other means 😅 but yeah may aswell try your luck

[agile gate]

Yea i saw that too. I'll see, I think they just don't want the stuff posted on YouTube and stuff. Dont really see why they'd allow photos while driving but not video

[junior latch]

I think its to avoid any reckless driving or footage that would make them look bad in any way, makes sense but yeh - I did consider just renting a car from omoshiro, muuuch better prices..tolls included and no limit to mileage you do 🤷🏻‍♂️

[agile gate]

Yea, I was gonna do that for daikoku, im going the 30th. However the rental companies close at 8pm there and I don't want to try and struggle with parking so I'll just take a tour I think

[junior latch]

Im sure you can figure out some parking spots from now until then no 😅 but I get it man, its easier just doing a tour

[final pollen]

At the station if youre around

[agile gate]

You are right but I found a tour on viator for 50 bucks so I think ima just do that

[sand cove]

Anyone have plans in the Ueno/Akihabara/Kanda area tonight? Currently looking to go out but was looking for something walkable in case the trains close, since I'm currently staying in Kanda haha

[quick idol]

Trains end at around midnight so you shouldn't feel constrained by that unless you're looking to go all night

You can join me and a bunch of people in Shinjuku, from 6:30pm #1302999235121123328 message

[cloud ruin]

Going to gion district around 4 if anyone is in Kyoto and wants to hang out

[prime cloud]

Anyone want to meet for tomorrow during the day?

Thinking maybe Joypolis since I missed that the other day

Or similar

Oh but it's Sunday so maybe not Joypolis?

[thorn arrow]

Is Tohuku very very calm or Hachinohe is kinda dead? I am seeing only old folks around

Like old old

[stiff sierra]

I'm in tokyo for about like 4 more hours before i leave for airport in haneda

[quick idol]

[thorn arrow]

Ahh I see

[dense mortar]

@bright island were there any gpus at decent price?

[bright island]
