[jagged widget]

lol have we met?

[tough badger]

For a matter fact, we did last year

February 2024

[jagged widget]

I’m trying to remember when lol

[tough badger]

You , @quiet wing @leaden hemlock @warped wharf we had drinks at a bar one time where the female host play games with you

[jagged widget]

Was that the place where we ordered tempura and sushi?

[jagged widget]

That was 100% not me

[tough badger]

You are mixed right?

[jagged widget]

lol

[jagged widget]

No

I also don't drink alcohol, so you'd never see me in a bar

[tough badger]

I knew you hung out with some of us in February of last year

[jagged widget]

No I never met up with that group of people.

[tough badger]

Let me share the screenshots

@jagged widget not you ? 👆🏽

[jagged widget]

yeah its me, but I didn't meet up with anyone

[tough badger]

Oh, I thought you did but yeah, I remember you

[jagged widget]

I don't ever do the drinking meetups since I don't drink alcohol and I don't stay out past last train. On 2/27 I was in Shimokitazawa eating curry and going to a live house show at basement bar

[tough badger]

@jagged widget I thought you was in Osaka

[jagged widget]

I left Osaka on 2/20

I was there on 2/18 and 2/19 for a live house show for The Tomboys

[tough badger]

Ohhh

Bet

[jagged widget]

lol yeah I move around a lot

[tough badger]

OK bet do you live in Japan or do you just travel there often?

[jagged widget]

Travel a lot

[timid widget]

23M first time I’ll be in Japan a mix of Kyoto/osaka/ Tokyo from the 11th-26th!!!

Solo traveller, I’m down to party in evenings !!

[timid widget]

Is there something like this for April?

[austere magnet]

I'll set it up later

[austere magnet]

@everyone Here's the April 2025 Meetup sheet, feel free to use it and let's set up some events!
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rsoiTftbyO5-FXrRhc3jVG9bDBMY8gKwzCkm-vHeEVo/edit?usp=sharing

[meager mantle]

is there any events going on in april that need to booked in advanced ?

i know theres nintendo museum reservation going on this month for april

[timid widget]

I wanna go to opening day of world expo

Feel like it would be a lil more special then any other day

[meager mantle]

oh cool I didn’t know it is open until Oct 13 2025

[meager mantle]

Did more research on Expo 2025, it looks really interesting! Ill be down to go but wont be there for opening day

[timid widget]

Our dates are the really similar. I’m there 12-26th.

Regardless of the expo. We will defo link up! What dates are you where? Have you figured it out yet?

I will be in Osaka 12-15th
Kyoto 16-19
Tokyo 19-26

[meager mantle]

holyy ado is performing opening day
https://www.expovisitors.expo2025.or.jp/events

[meager mantle]

abit rough, but here what I got so far

[meager mantle]

the huge gundam gonna be there too

https://www.bandainamco.co.jp/en/gundam-next-future-pavilion/

[meager mantle]

I assume hotel prices in osaka will be higher than usual for a couple days when this expo opens?

[vagrant river]

I'll be traveling solo from April 1-22
This is my itinerary:
Tokyo: April 2-8
Numazu: April 8-11
Osaka: April 11-17
Chiba: April 17-19
Yamanashi: April 19-20
Back to Tokyo: April 21-22

[fringe lion]

Im heading back to Japan in April, though i havent locked in anything really concrete, besides D1 Lights in Nikko on the 5th and 6th, but i'll mostly be sticking to Tokyo this trip from the 2nd to the 14th

[timid widget]

Seemed the same price as other dates in other areas tbh

Maybe more likely to sell out closer to the time

[timid widget]

Nice bro we will be in shibuya/ shinjuku a lot too at same time

You staying in 2 different places in Tokyo then? I see you listed shibuya and shinjuku

I was gonna just stay in one. But you’re making me consider split it into 2 as well

[meager mantle]

yup to get the nightlife in Shibuya and Shinjuku , I’m doing hostels in both

I’ve done it before in November

[timid widget]

Oh ok

It’s my first time coming

Think I should do the same?

Same reasons as me. Night life

Would you be able to circle on a map the areas I should exactly be in for night life bro. Struggling to pick where

[meager mantle]

Well, Shibuya and Shinjuku so close to each other, only matters if you think your gonna still be out after 12am since trains shutdown.

But definitely they have different vibes for sure. I do this so I don’t get bored staying in the same hotel / area for like 8 days

[timid widget]

Yeh I’ll probably be going out at 12 not going home lol

Nice I’ll book 2 separate then

Just struggling with locations

[meager mantle]

I did unplan shinjuku hostel last time, and I thought it was in a good location. I have booked it again this april. it’s only like $55 a night

[timid widget]

Is it in the heart of shinjuku?

Close the clubs

[tough badger]

😎 hell yeah

[timid widget]

We lit broski

[tough badger]

💯

This is my second time around. I went last February and had a good time.

[timid widget]

Nice bro. Where you stay?

[tough badger]

I’ll be staying in Shinjuku

Not too far away from Golden gai

[timid widget]

Is there clubs that play afrobeats etc?

Or na

[tough badger]

Yes

[timid widget]

Damn no way

[tough badger]

One of my favorite clubs there is Neverland

[tough badger]

I believe so

[timid widget]

There’s one I found in Osaka

That’s my vibe

Tbh I’m on anyone’s and everyone’s vibe

But if I get to choose lol

[tough badger]

@leaden hemlock & I Went last year and we’re gonna be there this April

[worn solar]

gonna visit for the first time in april 5th to 22th, road something like 7 days in osaka, after it arima-onsen 1 day, 3 days in takamatsu and rest days in tokyo

[timid widget]

You gonna be there my dates?

[timid widget]

Nice that’s interesting. I’m doing the basic Osaka Kyoto and Tokyo

[tough badger]

This photo is blurry, but this was club Neverland. It was packed.

[worn solar]

well, my journey kind of was made basic on different russian guides by people whos spent a lot of years travelleing and it's like "optimal" guide to visit different places

[tough badger]

That’s not basic 🤣

[timid widget]

Nahhh it defo is 😂

[tough badger]

lol I see you go hard in the paint

[worn solar]

basic probably tokyo and "LMAO WE'RE ROLLING . JAPAN YAAAAAAAAA!!!"

[timid widget]

I ain’t done 0 research and there’s 100 itinerarys imma copy

[tough badger]

😂

This is my second year to Japan and I only done Tokyo this next time around. I’m going to be doing the night bus to Osaka with my wife and kids for a few days.

[timid widget]

Nice bro

[timid widget]

Damn a family trip

Yeh drinks are definitely on this guy

[worn solar]

[tough badger]

[tough badger]

[worn solar]

[timid widget]

You gonna go to the expo?

[timid widget]

Yeh imma need you to put me on what to try ngl

Bro I don’t eat fish at all. Will I struggle

[worn solar]

expo? not sure, seems like im gonna leave when it's gonna start, a lot of tourists and even japanese gonna be there

[timid widget]

Appreciate it bro. But I will never click on a Russian link😂

[timid widget]

It starts the 13th April

[worn solar]

[timid widget]

Oh great detail

[worn solar]

[timid widget]

I need to make a guide of what to do it’s just so overwhelming

[worn solar]

[timid widget]

So many things

[worn solar]

well, ye

[tough badger]

[tough badger]

There’s a lot of options out there

[tough badger]

Don’t worry, G you got this

[final saddle]

Yeah thats how ive felt. Just slowly chip away at it whenever you have time. Mine is slowly coming along

You still have a few months, just dont keep pushing it off 🤣

[meager mantle]

You’re the goat

If anyone’s going to world expo opening day. Tickets to apply for the lottery for ADO’s performance start from January 13th

[timid widget]

[timid widget]

For real. I just feel like this is taking away the excitement

[meager mantle]

[meager mantle]

ohh I didn’t know about miyako dori, haven’t looked at all for festivals and experiences yet but definitely looks interesting

[jagged widget]

Book tickets

[jagged widget]

For those who will be in Japan in April, you will probably want to go see this in Kyoto - https://miyako-odori.jp/english/

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1Th2TNIViw

[final saddle]

Interesting! Thanks for sharing im gonna look into it

[tough badger]

Is there a application where you can help set up your itinerary for travel?

Like with AI

?

[meager mantle]

Not sure but this what i do

1. Use chatgpt, “What is there to do at ____”, “Make me an itinerary for ____ “
2. Search youtube / discord / reddit for ideas.
3. Use the #planning-and-itineraries
4. Check klook for any activities
5. Create google map / Scope location out and drop pins for like locations, stores, restaurants
6. Use spreadsheets to track everything

[jagged widget]

I am posting this twice just in case people aren't also in the March channel.

For those who will be in Kyoto in March/April. Do note that its only for April 1 and 2 for April people.
The tickets for the Kitano Odori just went up for application - https://www.confetti-web.com/events/5685

[austere magnet]

you can try with wanderlog.com but they AI stuff is subscription based

[scarlet gate]

If you find any kindly let me know as well plz.

[meager mantle]

[jagged widget]

To be honest it was like that for most dates even like 1-2 weeks ago

a few good seats did pop up here and there

but they were largely booked out the second they dropped

[meager mantle]

ahh gotcha, well i guess ill still be able to expierence it, just not up close lol

[jagged widget]

Its not a large theater

[meager mantle]

i was gonna visit himeji and kobe again that day so thats why i was undeceive until now, but i realize i could just see himeji on my way back from hiroshima and ive already gone to kobe last trip

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrX7XC13s3A&ab_channel=京都新聞

[coarse portal]

Hey y'all, just saw this post. I will be in Tokyo from 4th - 12th Apr. First time travelling to Japan and first time going overseas since covid. Will be visiting the usual firt-timer landmarks

looking forward to the izakayas and overall night-life

[hollow flax]

I'll be in Tokyo April 15th-22nd~ maybe longer, happy for hangs/drinks/dinner/gigs whatever

[marsh cairn]

I'll be in Tokyo April 9-20!

[tender quest]

hello

[tender quest]

So I just booked my flight for march 18th. ill be there all of april. is anyone going to the Tech expo?

[final saddle]

Osaka Expo right?

[tender quest]

yes

[final saddle]

Im going, just not sure what day yet. Between the 20th-25 though

[tender quest]

I want to try and go on opening day just because I assume there will be some big opening ceremony. though I'm not sure if you need tickets for that. still trying to decide on accomidations for my stay

but I expect there will be alot to see at least a weeks worth of visits

[meager mantle]

there’s bunch of pavilions u need to book in advance too

and it’s lottery based

[tender quest]

well doom on me

[meager mantle]

they just opened it up the reservations

[tender quest]

ya but I never win anything lol

[meager mantle]

I just wanna go to this one lol

https://www.bandainamco.co.jp/en/gundam-next-future-pavilion/index.php

see the big gundam

[tender quest]

oh they are going to have the life sized gundam there?

[meager mantle]

yup

[tender quest]

honestly should have guessed that

[meager mantle]

I believe it’s the one from yokohama they moved or repurposed idk

[tender quest]

im really curious what companies are going to be showcasing new stuff. like what kinda of surprises are gonna be popped out at this expo

[meager mantle]

yeah me too, I’m not entirely sure what the expo is about

Though it does look interesting

[noble spear]

omg can u still join lottery for this

[tender quest]

I mean it is the World Tech Expo

I think its the first time japan has hosted it since the 70s

[meager mantle]

yup I just checked you are able to join lottery

[tender quest]

no it was hosted in osaka in 1990 and 1970

[tender quest]

@meager mantle is it just me or is their ticket purchase system a pain to navigate?

[meager mantle]

it’s confusing yea

I just bought mine from klook

they give me a code to enter in the site

[tender quest]

im looking at buying the season pass so I can just jump on in whenever I can and feel like. not sure how big the event is or how much there will be to see

it be nice if they had a cheaper version like the summer pass but for the first half

[meager mantle]

they have first half ticket from 4/13 to 7/18

[lean kraken]

Hey 24M from Australia, coming to Japan from April 20 - May 10, been in Osaka last year and met lots of great ppl in this discord. Hoping to make great memories again

Will be staying in Tokyo for the entire trip🙏

[fringe lion]

Wish I could go, but i leave before opening day

[tough badger]

There’s no way around it you will get lost in Shinjuku station

[warped thorn]

Hi everyone, me and my girlfriend will be travelling Japan from April until June. Looking to hang out with other travellers while visiting different cities. Nice to meet you all

[tender quest]

@meager mantle hey do you know how the subway works for the expo? I booked one for opening hour of opening day for the subway entrance and can not find info on how or where I would even get on around osaka

im trying to book a accommodations that are more convenient for that timeframe.

[austere magnet]

i found this:

https://www.transport.expo2025.or.jp/en/route/metro/

check the gate you've chosen when buying the ticket, for example i bought tickets and im entering from east gate so im taking the metro

[tender quest]

same. and I wanna find a place to stay that will be easy to access it for other visits

[austere magnet]

i opted for staying near osaka station (not shin osaka) for ease of exploring the rest of osaka

[tender quest]

im gonna be near kujo station and dome-mae station

[meager mantle]

if your entering east gate, you can get their by train from the chuo line which starts at hommachi station

which is like a 20 min ride

[tender quest]

ya I should be able to get on at kujo station

its about a 10 min walk for me

[meager mantle]

ah im staying near namba station

[frank bear]

Hello everyone, I will be in Japan 30 March to 21 April I look forward to hopefully running into some of you there

[meager mantle]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rsoiTftbyO5-FXrRhc3jVG9bDBMY8gKwzCkm-vHeEVo/edit?usp=sharing

remember to add to this spreadsheet if ur going in april

[vagrant river]

60 more days till i'll be there

[quaint grail]

Added myself for April but I'm doing a unique route in Kyushu

[jagged widget]

I've added myself as well, though I don't think my itinerary will work for anyone until April 18

[meager mantle]

counting my days

[jagged widget]

4 days before my trip starts

I fly out Feb 3 and arrive Feb 5

[quaint grail]

Time set to first flight departure time

[tough badger]

60 days for me

[scarlet stream]

Hello everyone! I'll be making my way from Osaka to Tokyo from the 26th of Apr to the 7th of May, solo. Hoping to make a few friends along the way!

[quaint grail]

I hope you are prepared for insane costs. You're travelling during Golden Week.

[scarlet stream]

Uh oh…

I had no idea

Will all hostels be more expensive too?

[quaint grail]

Not the ones in Major cities

But alll the attractions will be packed.

[scarlet stream]

Damn I’ll plan ahead, thanks for the warning!

[quaint grail]

You're welcome

[proud schooner]

glad i‘m not the only one with a timer here 😂

[hollow flax]

71 for me 💀

[proud schooner]

more time for saving up

i‘m already scared about my savings 😂 travelling 3 times to Japan in 12 months do be slightly expensive

[hollow flax]

This trip was rather impulsive for me

[proud schooner]

same for all my trips 😅

[frank bear]

same here

[proud schooner]

tbf Japan is not so great for spontaneous visits if you want to do touristy things. if you just want to soak up what is referred to as culture often, it’s perfectly fine

[meager mantle]

literally me . I went to japan the first time in april 2024 and i liked it so much i went again solo in november. Now I’m repeating the cycle 🔁

[proud schooner]

i went solo in may/june, again in nov/dec and again now in mar/apr 😂

[meager mantle]

did we meet in November?

[proud schooner]

nope, we missed each other i think

wait

unless

..i met with a group of 9 folks there once and we lost some people on the way

[meager mantle]

ah im not sure though i left the 24th nov

[proud schooner]

possible still because i arrived Nov 23 and got tossed into that situation right away 😂

i assume not though. i think we had nobody that needed to catch a plane next day

[frank bear]

that looks awesome

[jagged widget]

If you arrive april 1 or 2 in Kyoto

You can also catch the kitano odori

[frank bear]

dang idk that would be tough i land on the 30 of march

[white mauve]

did you like unplan?? i’m considering that hostel, interested in nightlife!

[meager mantle]

My experience there wasn’t bad, I liked it. They got a bar, common area and rooftop people chill at and they got events going on everyday

there’s also a 7/11 across the street

[white mauve]

gotchu thanks! is it mostly foreigners?

[meager mantle]

yes

hostel like a 10 min walk to kabukicho

[hollow flax]

Ya I’m going to eat drink and shop mostly

[languid inlet]

Anyone down to go to Fuji-Q and do the Labyrinth of Fear (and coasters)? I am hoping to be their either April 7th or 8th

[untold valley]

any recommendations of places to stay in Tokyo I would guess Hostels are the best to meet people right?

[drifting arrow]

See pins in #accommodations for general Tokyo advice

[meager mantle]

haha that’s my plan, though I might do a quick trip to Korea before japan in nov

[frank bear]

lmaoo just went in august and comming back in april lmaooo

[jagged widget]

Fuji q is an all day affair

Unless you buy express tickets for every ride

I’ve done it several times

For there 30 minutes before opening

And stayed till an hour before closing

The waits for the rides take an hour usually

Except eejankia that’s like 2-3 hours

The labyrinth of fear takes an hour just to go through

[distant prism]

April might be slightly busier at Fuji Q. I last visited in May 2023 on a Thursday: Eejanaika waits 40-60 min, Takabisha 10-20 min

[drifting arrow]

#1336278288322269184

Hope to see you guys here ⚡️

[languid inlet]

I plan on buying express for the main coasters 😊 I don’t care much for pendulum swings, but I may get an express pass for one of the dark/4D rides if that’s available too.

[jagged widget]

Just note that it’s about $20 USD per ride

So for all 4 main rides it’ll cost $80

[finite hawk]

Hi all,
I'll be traveling solo, my schedule is this:
March 30-Apil 3: Kyoto
April 3-April 9: Tokyo
April 9-April 21: Sendai & Tohoku
April 21-25: Osaka
Would be nice to meet people along the way, I'm not too much into touristy things or night life tho, more like museums and walking around

[languid inlet]

Thank you for letting me know! I checked the website and marked my calendar already to make sure I don’t miss out on those.

For those going to Osaka Expo, what pavilions and events I should try to reserve for?

i just know about the gundam pavilion and then there are some events that happen in the evenings like

• Air and Water Show ( 19:10 or 20:30 )
• Physical Twin Symphony ( 11 or 14:30 or 18:00 )

seems like most of the stuff will have to be reserved 🤔

[frank bear]

@untold valley honestly unsure rn, whatever has food I guess

[frank bear]

What 😦

[meager mantle]

not all of them, but some pavillows will allow enter by standing in line

i have ticket for 10am opening, but im not sure i wanna enter that early and stay until 9pm to catch the other events in the evenings

it says you can reserve up to 5 pavilions / events, but do you only get to win 1 🤔

reservations period ends on feb 19

[frank bear]

Just enough time for one more paycheck

I'll probably hit you up, when I go to reserve mine

THE VERY LAST DAY IN OCTOBER IS HAITI 🤬

[glacial prairie]

I'll be in Tokyo March 28th-April 9th. Not sure how the Tokyo Dome tickets work but really hoping to catch a baseball game I see on April 4th. Working during the week overnight (USA times) but hoping to meet some people to see some live music gets some drinks over the weekend.

[drifting arrow]

Welcome, check this for live music

[glacial prairie]

What up habo - i've been to a handful of your events last couple times i've been to Tokyo. Hope you've been well man

[jagged widget]

He just had a great show yesterday

[drifting arrow]

Heyyy thanks for being part of it

[proud schooner]

booked world expo for the first day. i hate chosing events/pavillons lottery though

[frank bear]

Aww I'm not gonna make the first day, gonna take a quick vacation to my vacation with a weekend in Seoul

Maybe that night I could 🤔

[proud schooner]

i had other things planned but i might as well go to world expo when i'm around anyways

i didn't want to go to osaka again this time though

bit bummed out about it

[frank bear]

You didn't want to be in Osaka why's that?

[proud schooner]

i like Osaka, but it's in the middle of an area i don't really want to explore at the moment. i keep ending up there somehow 😆
i wanted to do a different route for once. but gladly expo start is at the 2nd last day of my trip, so i can just go from Osaka to maybe Yokohama to leave from there

last time i wanted to stay longer in Sendai area, but i had a concert of my favourite band in the middle of my trip. so once again i was kinda stuck there

[meager mantle]

I’m going expo on the 19th

[proud schooner]

i'll by crying about being in Europe again on the 19th

probably already budgeting for the next trip then xD

[meager mantle]

lol yes you can always plan another trip

[proud schooner]

..why is that country so damn addictive?

[meager mantle]

easy transportation, good food, kind people, culture

cheap

[proud schooner]

i had places where i wanted to go back before, but i wasn't becoming insane enough to actually go back all the time

[meager mantle]

Oh and I forgot heated toliets

[proud schooner]

oh god, the heated toilets

and i can feel safe as a shy introvert and drunk enough to not be a shy introvert anymore

perfect country

[frank bear]

Planning a trip to Europe after I'm done with this trip to Japan

[proud schooner]

awesome^^ what countries are you going to?

[frank bear]

Right now I'm thinking France Poland and maybe Spain

[proud schooner]

that's quite a route, will you stop in other countries in between?

or just fly from Poland?

[frank bear]

I haven't decided yet, my hesitation is not knowing anyone that lives in the other countries

[proud schooner]

ah solo travelling is nice though, and usually the people you know in those countries might hang out, but they don't accompany you anyways. so might as well go to other places and get to know people^^

if you go to Poland i would also go to Czech Republic, i love Prague, it's so pretty^^
and Spain and France are so big, there's s a ton of places to visit in a single trip for each 😄

[frank bear]

I will likely be solo on that trip as well. Mostly having Simone that lives there gives me an excuse to be there I guess 😅. I should go see more but IDK what else to see my Europeian geography is pretty unexciting.

[hollow flax]

Im gonna pick another new european country to visit this year too post japan trip

[frank bear]

where are you thinking of going?

[hollow flax]

I did spain/greece/portugal last year

I quite fancy Italy but that doesn't feel like a solo trip destination to me, it feels too romantic. Just as an outsider.

I kinda wanna visit Paris

[frank bear]

.

[frank bear]

yeah im going to stop there for sure i have a relative there so i'm semi obligated.

[lofty niche]

bumping this! i'm currently organising a night out at Mogra (an anime club) in Tokyo on 4th April, do let me know if you're interested!

[frank bear]

What city

[lofty niche]

tokyo!

edited to add that info

[calm vigil]

@glacial prairie Tickets for April should go on sale starting February 22nd. I bought some 2 years ago through this site https://quick.pia.jp/swallows_en/?top=date , it's in English and the process is very straight forward. Was able to pick-up the tickets directly at the stadium at will-call. The game was a highlight of my trip and I highly recommend making the effort to go.

[glacial prairie]

thanks for the info and link. I thought I had seen that they went on sale later in the month but I'm glad you confirmed it for me. previous times I've tried they've always been sold out so I just assumed that was the case.

You know if it's the same for the Tokyo Dome tickets - think that's where the giants play

[calm vigil]

You can purchase them through the links on the official Tokyo Giants website. Tickets for the game on April 4th will go on sale on February 15th

[inland pine]

Hey guys, I’m in Tokyo from 10th- 15th April. I’m down to get drinks and go clubbing on the 12th!

[slim shoal]

Hey there, thanks for the info! I’ll be in Tokyo from 3/31 to 4/6 and going to a baseball game has been on top of my list of things to do. Any advice on picking seats?

[scarlet gate]

hell yeah. thanks bro.

[frank bear]

I'll be there but I have a terrible memory so please pass send reminders lol

[drifting arrow]

Just a reminder for anyone here on the 15th #1336278288322269184

and be sure to get an April role for more info about events etc. id:customize

[meager mantle]

ghibli park tickets are available now for April

opened up 30 mins ago https://s.klook.com/c/Vw5J_pZzXD

[languid inlet]

I only got to purchase standard tickets. I was about to enter my payment information when my premium ticket slot sold out 😭

[meager mantle]

I have both, first bought the standard ticket

and then I saw premium open up

lucky I bought no show protection so I get like 60% refunded

now I’m trying to plan my Nagoya trip around it, I have 2pm grand warehouse time entry 🤔

[languid inlet]

So my friend was helping me out, and his queue was for residents and I didn’t realize it until I tried putting in my payment information and it kept refusing every single card I tried to use

[languid inlet]

I’m not too sure what’s around there, but I’ve heard that it takes a while to actually go through and see the park.

[meager mantle]

I was gonna only stay like 3-4 hours

not sure if that would be enough

I’m going by myself so I would think it would go by quick

I’m only passing by for quick stop in nagoya, hopefully it doesn’t feel too cramped 😅

[languid inlet]

My friend and I are doing the same. We are headed straight for USJ after walking around the park. All I honestly wanted to see was Kiki’s home. Of course I want to see everything else too, I’m a massive fan, but Kiki’s Delivery Service was a movie my grandma and I would watch together all the time before she passed away. So it’s more of a sentimental visit than just a tourist site to visit.

[languid inlet]

You got this! It sounds like tons of fun! I am sure you’ll be able to accomplish it all

Just make sure to stay hydrated 😅

[drifting arrow]

Ghibli Park is pretty far out, it takes an hour to get there from Nagoya. So getting back to Osu Shotengai for 4pm might be a little rushed

and 6pm is a bit early for ‘night vibes’ (sunset is at 6:30pm that day)

Make sure your hotel will let you check in at 9pm

[proud schooner]

reminder for those that have an expo ticket:
Wed. Feb. 12, 2025 23:59 (JST) is closing for the 2month in advance lottery if you haven't applied yet

[meager mantle]

^ and pavilion/events reservation close on feb 19, which I still have to do 😅

[meager mantle]

ahh true, I may have to get to nagoya earlier or drop something. I onyl care about the toyota museum and ghibli park really and eating something nagoya exclusive

[meager mantle]

left over nintendo museum tickets for april just opened up for reservations

https://museum-tickets.nintendo.com/en/calendar

they will be gone quick

[final saddle]

Ill be at the Osaka Expo on the 20th in case anyone else is going that day, hmu! 🙂

[meager mantle]

im going Saturday the 19th

[scarlet gate]

17th here

[west path]

Anyone here planning to see Ado 26 or 27?

[jagged widget]

@final saddle I'll be in Tokyo from april 10 to 18

[final saddle]

Sweet that lines up perfect, ill be in Tokyo 13-19 so any of those dates would work for me

Ill let you take the wheel on where to go if thats cool, i have no dietary restrictions so whatever is fine with me

[manic swallow]

going to be in tokyo from 3-14 Apr in Tokyo then Osaka for the opening of Expo, anyone else going?

[meager mantle]

yeeh, imma select my 5 pavilion reservations soon

[final saddle]

What pavilions is everyone choosing or chose for the lottery?

[meager mantle]

I’m not sure yet but here what I have in my notes

can choose up to 5:

• Gundam Pavillion ( time ? )
• Air and Water Show ( 19:10 or 20:30 )
• Physical Twin Symphony ( 11 or 14:30 or 18:00 )
• Tech World Pavilion ( time ? )
• Japan Pavillion ( time ? )
• Phillipines Pavilion ( time ?)

events not requried reserivation:

• One World One Planet ( after sunset )

—-
There is also these lotteries

• 7 days advance lottery prior to visit
• Same day lottery

[fringe lion]

Sadly expo opens after i leave japan

[proud schooner]

I'm still sad i didn't get a reservation for Future of Life pavillon. in case you're into tech check that one out too

[meager mantle]

wait they already selected lottery winners?

[proud schooner]

2month in advance lottery closes 2 months before your selected entry date

[meager mantle]

ohhhh

[proud schooner]

i visit on 13 April, so mine is already closed^^

[meager mantle]

gotcha thanks!

I wonder what time I should go

was thinking like 12pm I don’t wanna go early and be there all day

[proud schooner]

i selected 12 because i won't be in Osaka beforehand, I have to plan in travel time

keep in mind you can't select pavillons for a few hours after entrance though, they probably will let you select one after checkin on the premise though

and make sure to check the times of the pavillon visits. they don't have those in the booking overview, but only in the descriptions. would be a mess to win 2 and miss one slot

[languid inlet]

I’m going opening day, too! I only got one of the 5 reservations I applied for and freaked out until I read about the 7-day lottery.
My only thing is, if we don’t get reservations there is no other way of entering the pavilion?

[proud schooner]

you can go to many pavillons that are open without reservations. it's just the ones with fixed schedules it seems that need reservations. there's still 1 month in advance and 7 days in advance lottery, and i think you can book one slot still after entering 🙂 so chances are still there to get into other places

most countries pavillons don't need reservations at all

i also only got one, for the Australia pavillon

[languid inlet]

Perf! I didn’t pick those cause I figured that it would be counterintuitive to make them reservation only at… the world fair 😂

And oooh! How fun! I want to see everything but know I won’t be able to 😅

[proud schooner]

yeahhh Australia pavillon sounded interesting to me because i never managed to visit but always wanted to go^^ but in hindsight i should have stuck with the tech pavillons or concerts i want to see 😅 maybe next lottery

i think it will be interesting either way though

[languid inlet]

Hahaha, I totally get it! I’ve always wanted to go to see the NYE on the Sydney Harbor 🥲
Reading all the pavilion summaries were quite overwhelming but I picked ones that required seats (just for a guaranteed seat) or had tech experiences that required reservations. I got a ticket starting at 12PM so I know I may not make it in time to put myself on some reservations while I’m there. Just hoping to get some before entering 😅

[proud schooner]

yeah i took 12pm ticket as well because i will not stay in Osaka beforehand. i doubt i could make 10am entrance. it sucks a bit that they don't let you book a few hours after check in. 😅
i really hoped to get a ticket to either chopin concert at the poland pavillon, or REALLY i mainly hope to get into future of life pavillon to see android erica

i'm sure there will be many interesting and cool experiences either way though

[languid inlet]

I had those two on my list, too, and didn’t get either 🙃
I’m manifesting we get them this next round 🙏🏼

[languid inlet]

Very true!! I’m quite excited this is my first world fair! I worked in themed entertainment, and everyone I knew in the industry went to the one in Dubai. I wanted to go so bad, but this is my redemption arc

[proud schooner]

keeping my fingers crossed too! 🤞

[proud schooner]

ahh so many people i know went to Dubai too and were really excited, they even sent some apprentices there from my workplace. i sure hope Japan does a great job as well, even though they probably don't put AS much money in as Dubai

[languid inlet]

Not the apprentices 😫 that is so savage. And valid point. I’m hoping it’ll be a great turnout 🥲

[minor zodiac]

We finally got our table at Monk but we are 2 in a table of 4, so needs 2 more to join us!! Just me and my husband. Reservation on 15 April, 20:00 - menu is ￥15,400 for 7 course
https://g.co/kgs/8C9fyqe

[frank bear]

not being antagonistic. i love food love trying new things and i would love to join you, just wondering what is special about this place.

[minor zodiac]

thanks for the questions - I got recommended by my friends who visited the place last year, and Japan has a very weird fusion way of mixing different ingredients when it comes to pizza like putting teriyaki chickens and we love it, so while indulging ourselves with the traditional stuff, we would want to take a break with some fusion food as well.

[frank bear]

just buying my tickets now and i m not sure which events and pavilions i want yet.

[frank bear]

ill join if you'll have me. i am solo however so if you find a better pair feel free to take it just let me know.

[minor zodiac]

sent a friend request to discuss more!

[final saddle]

I read somewhere you only get 1 of your 5 lottery options for each draw, but I cant find where I saw that

[proud schooner]

it's likely that, but considering how bad their general websites are.. i also assume their lottery systems are equally umm..

well crafted?

[frank bear]

Unfortunately I'll be going on the 18th

[river swift]

Hi all, I'll be in Tokyo from April 11 to April 22.

[austere ravine]

Anyone going to the race at Suzuka?

[final saddle]

Dang 4 of us will all miss each other by 1 day, from the 17-20 lol

[frank bear]

I know it's just the day that goes best with my schedule.

[frank bear]

What race

[austere ravine]

Formula 1!

[frank bear]

That sounds interesting, when, where, and how much?

[austere ravine]

I got my ticket off https://ticket.mobilitystation.jp/event/venue/SC2025F1

it’s the 4th through the 6th for the whole weekend

i got my ticket a few months back for like $160 us for the whole weekend

staying in Nagoya and getting a bus down there for the event days

[frank bear]

I would love to go, but we have a meet up that day

Wait

I thought it was only the 4th

So if I buy a ticket for the 4th I can come the 5 or 6th

[frank bear]

.

[austere ravine]

yeah, tickets go for the whole weekend 🙂

i think i might only go the 5th and 6th, the 4th my wife and i might go somewhere together

but she hates rich men racing cars lol

so i do the race days alone

[frank bear]

Aight I'll let you know when I buy my tickets, I'll join you

[austere ravine]

hell yea!! i’m sitting in one of the grandstands on the esses, i think it’s d section but id have to look when im home

[fringe lion]

I went in 2023 so i dont see the need to go again

But however, i am going to D1L

where theres going to be a lot more close action

[frank bear]

Is it assigned seats? Or just section

[austere ravine]

it’s assigned seats if you have a proper seat in a numbered or lettered section

but there is a general admission option that lets you just access hilly areas with a lawn chair basically

yea i got section d-2 row 9

[meager mantle]

the osaka expo site is so ass

[frank bear]

🤣🤣🤣 have you used the app yet? Cuz it's.....

[meager mantle]

choosing, these hopefully I get them

I didn’t realize not all country pavilions will be available

[proud schooner]

most don’t need a reservation

[frank bear]

i wish we were going the same day we have almost the same wishlist

[frank bear]

they are sold out in that section

[final saddle]

just looked into her and man I like it! looks like its sold out though 😦

[final saddle]

are you going?

[weak sage]

I am interested

[final saddle]

@drifting arrow i dont take it you know any other similar artists that might be performing in April?

after discovering this im left yearning for more. i want to hear it live lol

[drifting arrow]

There isn't much city pop around because no one in Japan really likes or listens to city pop

Here are some wonderful retro revival acts though

• Amaiwana
• harukaze record
• Milk Talk
• Nishi Naoki
• Cosmic Mauve
• Rip van cats

[weak sage]

It’s true 🥲 new generation doesn’t listen at all

[drifting arrow]

Wasn't even all that popular back in the day... It was a subgenre of kayokyoku for hedonistic yuppies

Plastic Love was totally forgotten to time

[final saddle]

feelsbad

[final saddle]

thank you!

[drifting arrow]

Also consider visiting
https://maps.app.goo.gl/mamBsRRSFRpMc5y78

[final saddle]

Say less. Appreciate it

[weak sage]

I’ve been meaning to visit opk as well, if you need a buddy to tag along lmk

Giant fan of city pop

[final saddle]

Itd be a pleasure, ive added it to my itinerary. I'll be free 14, and 16-18th night

[modest aurora]

any padel enjoyers in chat

[meager mantle]

dang I only won one lottery for osaka expo, the japan pavillion

did anyone win more than one? Is it possible?

not possible, you can only win 1 per lottery

[river swift]

I've played once when invited by colleagues and enjoyed it

[modest aurora]

so fun right

will be in tokyo on 8 - 10 apr if anyone wants to play

I found a court near skytree

[river swift]

Unfortunately I arrive at the 11th, or I would've checked to fit it into my itinerary

[frank bear]

I don't have any updates, where did you find out. Did they email you?

[mossy temple]

R U using rail pass for this?

[quaint grail]

railpass is not needed. Hes going one direction

Also. I would not stay in Osaka if you're going to Hiroshima. 3/4 of your day will be wasted on trains.

[mossy temple]

If he sticks to his hotels, rail pass might help(?)

[worn solar]

man, find decent not that pricey hotels for 4x in tokyo is almost impossible, well, on asakusa line i mean

[mossy temple]

“4x”?

[weak sage]

It took me awhile to decipher that in my brain

I think maybe 4 nights?

Otherwise.. 4x points on a credit card?

For 4 people?

[mossy temple]

Exactly. Just needed some clarification lol

[river swift]

Four wheel drive

[quaint grail]

For what dates?

[scarlet gate]

Nope. Only won gundam

[meager mantle]

they should have emailed you, or you can click on your ticket and it will tell you the status

[meager mantle]

that is the one I wanted 🥲, guess I’ll be playing line up for it

[scarlet gate]

I wanted that life plus game tbh. Sounded super cool. (I may have the name wrong)

[white tide]

Hi all, me and my cousin want to go to the Muscle Girl Bar
https://musclegirls.jimdofree.com/
Does anyone know how early in advance we can make a reservation?

[river swift]

If you absolutely want to do something, I'd make a reservation once the day you want to go on is available

[meager mantle]

I’m trying to go as well 💪

well if I have time lol

I’ll be in ikebukuro on april 21st

[hot mortar]

Think my friends booked a month in advance but you probably don’t need to

[proud schooner]

it depends on when you visit, it’s closing 2 months before your visit date and afterwards you get a mail

everyone i know of has only won 1. so chose wisely what to select 😅

[lofty niche]

bumping this! i'm currently organising a night out at Mogra (an anime club) in Tokyo on 4th April, do let me know if you're interested!

[hot mortar]

I'll be in Tokyo around that time. Still dunno what to do some days, cause I've kinda been around already hah

Was just gonna try to find cool lil places to go and try food from many joints

[lofty niche]

It'll be on 4th night till 5th morning!!

If you'd like to come along

[hot mortar]

No promises, I'll let you know how I'm feeling closer to the date, since it's the tailend of a month-long trip all over the place haha

[lofty niche]

Sure!

[frank bear]

I gotta make reservations?

I'll come with y'all depending on what date you pick

[glacial prairie]

I'll be in Tokyo April 1-9th and would be down for Muscle bar as well if it lines up with the others

[slim shoal]

Looking at their reservation page, they allow you to reserve up to March 22nd as of today, so looks like a month in advance? It also says reservations for up to 4 persons at a time, so if there are 5 or more persons then there need to be multiple reservations

[frank bear]

So we'll talk about it again next week then

[white tide]

@frank bear @slim shoal My cousin and I are in Tokyo from 4/14 to 4/21. If y'all want to make a reservation together let me know. Combined, we would be a group of 4.

[frank bear]

I'll have to look at my schedule the 14 and 15 work for me

[slim shoal]

I'm in Tokyo from 3/31 to 4/6 so I don't think that's possible for me haha

[white tide]

Drats, ok

[languid inlet]

Oooh, mind if I join? I’ll be there the 16th-18th but have plans on the 16th

[final saddle]

Not at all! We can set a date as we get closer to the April? That should work fine for me though

[languid inlet]

Works for me!

[hollow flax]

Would definitely love to tag along as well that looks pretty awesome

[timid widget]

Has there been any talks of people meeting up for clubbing/ bars?

[jagged widget]

#1330541450018029588

[weak sage]

^ guaranteed 😂

[timid widget]

Oh ok

I guess just wait till it’s actually April to start talking about it then

Thanks btw

[weak sage]

Yea most drinking is spontaneous

[timid widget]

Just checked the April meet up google sheets doc

Looking good!

[lofty niche]

Hihi, I'm actually organising one on 4th April at MOGRA if you're interested

[timid widget]

Ahh I’m in Tokyo for the last 2 weeks

[lofty niche]

Ah, tragic 😦

[timid widget]

Thank you though

[lofty niche]

no worries!

[meager mantle]

i plan on going mogra too. i can plan a day out when april comes or could just be a spontaneous decision for one them nights

[lofty niche]

would you like to join us? or will you only be around after 4 april?

[meager mantle]

won’t be in Tokyo until April 15 to 27 😅

[frank bear]

just found it in my junk mail. i got the thailand pavilion. for noon

[final saddle]

Nice, i got Future City. If you guys really want a certain pavilion keep in mind you can apply for multiple time slots for a higher chance 🤞🏾

[frank bear]

That's a good point

[meager mantle]

I wonder if I should just have bought two tickets lol

double the chances

damn that is the move

[frank bear]

Never too late

[worn solar]

oh ye, late af response but ye, 4 people, cause for 2 we need separate beds and for other 2 one single is ok

but anyway, found some good option for us, for 5 nights in tokyo will be around 1.2k usd for all

So far we've spent on each person include flying tickets 2k usd, not bad? i guess, for 6-22 april

[tough badger]

Is anybody else going to Disney Sea ?

[stiff sparrow]

Hi! Any solo travelers interested in eating at Haute Couture in Tokyo April 1 for lunch? I want to make a reservation but they don’t take one person reservations. Lmk if you’re interested!

[frank bear]

That would be my first full day in country, but I'm down

[half hatch]

This is a long thread @astral aspen and others still going indoor/outdoor climbing? I am making a trip April 8-24 for B-Pump and stuff

[modest aurora]

I'm down for indoor climbing

[frank bear]

Sorry didn't tag you, but I'm up for it

[finite hawk]

Hii, I'll be in Tokyo 3-9 april and thereafter in tohoku (Sendai, morioka, Aomori), lemme know if you wanna hang out

[meager mantle]

https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/02/25/japan/osaka-expo-same-day-tickets/

[mossy temple]

Just bought my tickets right now

That said, on the website I think they said that there would be tickets that you can buy on the day when I first checked the website way back when.

[proud schooner]

didn't we have a google docs sheet already for April? or was it just March?
it's not pinned

ah found it^^ maybe someone who has the power could pin it in the channel?

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1rsoiTftbyO5-FXrRhc3jVG9bDBMY8gKwzCkm-vHeEVo/edit?usp=sharing

[drifting arrow]

It is already pinned

[proud schooner]

ah weird, maybe i should update my desktop version 😅

[warped thorn]

31 days until we arrive. How about everyone else ?

[river swift]

I land on the 11th, staying in and around Tokyo until the 22nd

[frank bear]

27 days till I land

[hollow flax]

[copper isle]

Yo, will be heading to Tokyo for the first time solo 4-10 April. If anyone is down to hang just hmu 🙂‍↕️

Hey all! I'm a 27yo Swedish guy that will be traveling to Japan between 17 April - 5 May to meet up with some friends in Tokyo but also to explore new places and events by myself. Will mostly be based in Tokyo but feel free to reach out if you will be in Japan the same period

[onyx forum]

Anyone going to Moomin valley park?

[austere ravine]

whoa i didn't know about moomin park

how cute 😄

[fringe lion]

hey @hot mortar going to book it rn, and if anyone wants to join in later, i can change it with my booking info

Are you allergic to anything?

[hot mortar]

Sure thing, and no no allergies. Been a couple times already 😄

April reservations for Ghibli Museum happening on March 10 - 10am jst !

[lofty niche]

Bumping this! I'm currently organising a night out at Mogra (an anime club) in Tokyo on 4th April, do let me know if you're interested! #1339885062086463539

[hollow flax]

I might actually go for tickets, or try to

I've never managed to visit in all my JP trips because I've never actually tried to get them, Ghibli tickets that is

[meager mantle]

I’m already going to ghibli park, though not sure if I wanna try doing ghibli museum on the same trip lol

I’ve heard the museum is small and focuses more on the creation of its films rather than being themed ghibli

[weak sage]

Yes very much so.

[austere ravine]

We got ghibli museum tickets for the 7th 😄

[river swift]

I got a Kirby Café reservation, yay!

[meager mantle]

dang I missed it, I thought it was 1 month in advance the day your going

though reservations is only on the 10th

guess ill have to book another Japan trip after this one

[river swift]

That's Pokémon.

[meager mantle]

yeah I mixed them up

[river swift]

Kirby, much more than Pokémon, seems to see people cancel their reservations a day or two in advance. Check the website once you're in Tokyo!

[proud schooner]

yeah you can easily sneak a kirby cafe reservation from people like me that wake up that day and spent the night before in the area. i had no guts to down a kawaii pink kirby burger and hearing squeaky voices around noon, so i cancelled last minute

semi-kidding ofc, kirby cafe often gets cancelled frequently, just keep in mind checking at local times

i also sneaked a pokemon cafe reservation a week before the date that i ended up cancelling.. so check frequently if you really want to visit those

[stark scaffold]

Hi guys, 24F from Vancouver, Canada. I’ll be in Tokyo from April 11 to 21st. (Planning on doing a day trip to Kamakura and will be in Hakone on April 17-18). I’m also doing the Kasumigaura 10miles race if anyone is a runner here hehe. And April 25-30 will be around Kyoto, Osaka, Nara area.

I’m an ENFP, I feed off good energy good vibes with people, I’m very easygoing and open minded! This is my first time travelling to Japan and my first solo trip, would love to meet like minded people 🥺

I have a diverse interest in art&museum, anime, nightlife clubbing - especially techno/trance edm hmu!!

[drifting arrow]

Hi it’s not electronic but you may be interested in #1336278288322269184 !

[stark scaffold]

Oooo I’ll for sure check it out!!

Open to anything tbh haha

I’m a big one ok rocks fan so fs I’ll enjoy it heh

[tough badger]

Hell, yeah, I have 20 more days 🤤

[hollow flax]

Ritchie Hawtin is playing at Womb on the 19th, which miiiiight be good

It’s their 25th anniversary party tho so could be stacked

[stark scaffold]

Ouuuuu what time do clubs close in Tokyo?

[hollow flax]

Usually a little before trains start, depends

4-5am usually

[stark scaffold]

LOLOL nice

But no transit after midnight?

[hollow flax]

Correct yeah

But it’s not really worth going to a club before then anyway

They can be pretty dead before midnight

I just seen that Charlotte de Witte is playing on the 26th in Tokyo but I’m gonna be down south 😩 I seen her back in 2021 I think and it was a lot of fun

[stark scaffold]

Ohhh gotcha, so if I go to womb plan to go like just before midnight and stay til 4-5am

LOLOLOL

[hollow flax]

Yeah for sure

I usually just walk around to sober up and grab ramen then get the train

[stark scaffold]

Are you planning on going to WOMB

and do u buy tix or pay cover at the door or how does it work

[drifting arrow]

Depending on the event of the day it might be cheaper to get your ticket at least a day beforehand. Otherwise you can pay on the door unless it’s sold out

[hollow flax]

On door is ¥1k more expensive, I’ll probably go yeah. Probably buy closer to the time.

[stark scaffold]

Oh ok yay! Is it ok if I tag along?

[hollow flax]

Yeah for sure, my buddy that’s visiting me when I’m in Tokyo will probably be keen to go as well. More the merrier.

[stark scaffold]

Yay sounds good! I’ll add that to my itinerary

[meager mantle]

this is opening march 27 😮 https://www.takanawagateway-city.com/en

[amber flint]

Hey everyone! My wifre and I (30yo) will be visiting Japan end of March, early April for the first time! Among other things, we'll be headed to the F1 race at Suzuka on 4/6. Anyone else planning on going?

[austere ravine]

yea i'm going to the race! my wife is with me too but won't be going to the race because she "does not need to watch rich men race cars all weekend" lol

[amber flint]

Hahahah totally valid. We’re only going on Sunday for the race and have GA West End tickets. Where are you sitting at?

[austere ravine]

Got a seat in one of the D grandstands on the Esses 😄

GA West end like this?

[amber flint]

Oh heck yeah. I’m keeping an eye out for some other second hand tickets somewhere

Yes! We can roam all around Spoon or in the stands by the overpass at 130r

[austere ravine]

I definitely wanna go over to 130r on quali day

I got full weekend pass for like $200 and I think I'm skipping Friday to spend time in Nagoya

Too many fun ceramic art things there to ignore 😄

[meager mantle]

I wanna watch one day tho the car stuff I’m doin is visiting toyota automobile museum in nagoya, spoon type one shop, nismo omorii factory and daikoku pa

[austere ravine]

I rented a car to hopefully see some fun cars at daikoku

It'll be a weekday but even just going there and not seeing a ton will be fun

Rented a GR86 😄

[meager mantle]

which day?

I rented a gtr last trip in Hakone, did a quick togue run up and down the mountain lol

[amber flint]

I’m renting a GTR in Hakone on March 31st! How was the drive? Was it worth it?

Also, @austere ravine when you thinking to go to Daikoku? I thought about trying to do the same

[austere ravine]

April 8th is my rental

Picking up from Ariake and not sure what I'll do during daylight hours

Just wanna take fun car photos in fun places and enjoy seeing irl spaces i usually drive on assetto corsa lol

[amber flint]

Hahah heck yeah. We might be down the join and do the same thing. I don’t think we have anything planned on the 8th. Who did you rent through?

[austere ravine]

Omoren! Their Ariake location has fewer cars, the Noda location was a bit far for me to get up to from where we booked that day

[amber flint]

Sweet. I’ll check them out

[meager mantle]

I think so! it was a once life time experience. I only did the 1 hour course and thought it was fine. It started raining that day so got sketch at the end haha

first I led the group bring in front going up the mountain

then started raining so I went in the middle of the pack going down hill haha

are you renting from fun2drive(

oh and you can’t record

the roads are narrow

[amber flint]

Heck yeah. And I am! I’m doing the 4.5 hour Hakone Ultimate drive in the classic GTR. So I doubt I’ll be breaking any speed records, but something about old cars 🤌

[meager mantle]

Had to due some adjusting keeping to the center line

It was my first time driving on the left side

[amber flint]

I’ve only done it once in the UK and it wasn’t a manual. So attempt #2 will be interesting

[meager mantle]

I also did the classic hakone loop + ryokan stay

[amber flint]

Ooo, talk to me about the ryokan. Did fun2drive have a deal with one?

[fringe lion]

I wish incould do that, but im scared to driving a rhd car, thats ancient and is also stick

Especially as ive never driven stick before

[fringe lion]

Question, do you mind if i can tag along?

[hollow flax]

I thought about it each time I've visited but never pulled the trigger.

Would be a cool experience though, no different from driving here at home

[fringe lion]

Yeah its also kinda expensive for my taste

[hollow flax]

I think not driving a manual ever is probably the more challenging thing rather than it being rhd

Driving other side of the road feels weird for a little while but you get used to it, incidentally I drove my first automatic LHD and drove on the right for the first time

that was kinda easy though

[fringe lion]

Yeah cause ive driven in japan a couple times now

[hollow flax]

parking was the weird part

[fringe lion]

Once in 2019 for nissan HQ in like a Nissan Dayz

Twice in 2023 for a day trip in Gunma and going to and back from a FDJ event in Okayama

And now doing driving going to Nikko Circuit for D1Lights

(spectating)

[austere ravine]

possibly! honestly depends on if my wife wants to use that day for us to go somewhere specific or not. might at least be able to do daikoku that night if she's out on that 😄

i drove stick a ton and haven't recently but it was wild how i got used to it in england

kind of expected it to be harder on the opposite side but it took like 500m for me to have it

[fringe lion]

Yeah the only problem is that the shifter is now on the left

[austere ravine]

you get used to it

i'd have been more screwed if the clutch was flipped haha

[fringe lion]

Yeah the only big worry is going in the wrong lane

Which in city is.not hard

But countryside

Oh man

Have to second guess myself

And then also how narrow some streets are

[drifting arrow]

Hey guys! I met up with some of you last april and had an absolute blast! Me and my sister (M21,F20) will be doing the Shimanami Kaido Cycle from Onomichi on the 19th. Anyone able to cycle ~80-ish km is more than welcome to join.

[remote pine]

G'day, 27(M) from Sydney, Australia. Will be in Japan (Tokyo) from 15th Apr to the 21st Apr for Star Wars Celebration. It's my first time going to the Con as well as first time solo in Japan.

I'm keen on meeting up to catching some live music and explore Tokyo, if anyone's down or has some suggestions, that would be awesome.

[river swift]

Star Wars gang ✊🏼

@remote pine don't know if you were looking for live music right the day that you land, but #1336278288322269184

[remote pine]

✊ Its tempting. According to my flight info, I should land around 5pm. So assuming I am concious, I'd be down. Will look into it. Appreciate it!

[meager mantle]

it needs to be april already

[untold valley]

It’s finally starting to dawn on me and I’m getting really excited now 😅

[shy vine]

I’ll be in Kyoto all of April. I spend every April there so happy to help anyone who needs it!

[fringe lion]

You tell me, my flight leaves april first

[river swift]

And then the pilot says "we're now ready for take-off", and then the whole crew shouts "APRIL FOOLS!" and you all have to get off the plane and go home.

[fringe lion]

nah it's zip air, they want your money

heck im pretty sure they wouldnt ground a plane for april fools

all the airlines want money

[hollow flax]

Is anyone going to the Arabaki Rock fest ? 👀

[scarlet gate]

Like recommendations?

[proud schooner]

oohh i avoid Kyoto like the plague but i may go for a daytrip this time it’s good to know someone is there to give advice

also holy hell

[noble spear]

o wow! ill be spending a few days there, but I feel like so many say to avoid it due to crowds... but I want to see the sakura there

do you have any tips on visiting Ninnaji temple? someone else on the server said the queue will be crazy but I'm hoping if I go in the morning, it'll be ok

[low blade]

It will be crowded in early april, thats for sure. Nonetheless it will be worth it!

[proud schooner]

that's just grumps like me that avoid about any crowd. it's a touristy place after all. don't overthink it if you think you'll enjoy it

people also tend to say locals hate foreigners, it's not true. they are annoyed if they can't go on with their day, like everyone would be.

[noble spear]

def understandable haha

[shy vine]

I spend 2 months a year in the city. It’s my favorite place.

[shy vine]

https://kyoto.travel/en/news/Lightup_events.html

[shy vine]

I’ve never waited in line to go there but I’ve gone for their special events mostly. They are also famous for later blooming cherry blossoms. Their goshuincho for the spring is gorgeous. Let me see if I can find a photo!

Got this one in April of 2024.

There are way LESS nighttime illuminations this year. I’m really bummed.

[noble spear]

That is so pretty!! Thank u for the list too!

[wet wyvern]

Hey all just added myself to the spreadsheet, gonna be in Tokyo 1-4 April then Fujikawaguchiko from 4 Apr til 7 May

[drifting arrow]

Welcome, put it in #1056119213082808400

[tough badger]

Did you know that you guys can use Grok to plan your itinerary and give it details so it can be custom to you?

[hot mortar]

Its gonna be just as retarded as all AI genned itineraries are 90% of the time

If not more retarded cause I heard Grok is pretty stupid

It’s one of the most likely AI models to lie and fabricate

[drifting arrow]

AI itineraries suck so bad

[tough badger]

Oh, OK. Well, I had it make a basic one for me and I thought it was not bad but after hearing your guys‘s feedback, I can see it dropped the ball big time 🤣

[hot mortar]

I mean if you’ve checked it didn’t put something impossible in the itinerary for you, that’s good haha

I wouldn’t say it’s good for it when you need to be on your toes about what it puts in there tho, but that’s me

[river swift]

What, maybe I like landing in Tokyo, taking a train two days later to Hiroshima and a train to Osaka the day after that.

[hot mortar]

I tried it once to populate some of my days. It fabricated places to go instead of saying “nah fam” lmao

[river swift]

From what I've seen from AI itineraries, leafing through a pocket guide gives you as much knowledge about what the major attractions are and a pocket guide is more honest about how long everything takes.

Man those AI itineraries are crazy on how much to do and how often to switch areas.

[hollow flax]

you just have to be really good with your prompts tbh

I had a look at what AI could do for an itinerary and was actually pretty impressed

[river swift]

If you have to be really good with your prompts, doesn't that take as much effort as just figuring out your itinerary yourself?

[hollow flax]

It cuts out a lot of legwork with locations, train lines etc Certainly doesn't replace creating a full one yourself.

I'm not an itinerary person myself, I can't really do the whole concrete plans thing

but it definitely works if you dont know where to start

Is anyone going to the beppu onsen festival / fukuoka early april?

Just yolo'd a trip to japan again and debating flying down for that or just tokyo for the entire time

[nova terrace]

Hii I’m a first time traveler to Japan in April 2025 from the 4th to the 14th and I’d love to find a lil group to travel with and hang out with! I’m actly planning on going to lake kawaguchiko to sightsee mount fuji but solo travelling is kinda scary especially for the first time so if anyone is down to travel let me know! If it helps I’m also a big anime and manga fan😅

[fringe lion]

Only for 2 days?

[proud schooner]

i arrive there the day after

good to know there’s a festival, i might skip that stay then. probably a ton of people there 😆

[quaint grail]

Nani there’s a festival in Fukuoka?

I leave Fukuoka on the 2nd but I come back on the 8th at night.

[gentle wasp]

Which day?

The festival is only in beppu. I don’t think it’ll be too overwhelming.

[proud schooner]

yeah i‘ll arrive in Beppu on April 7 😅 i‘m honestly thinking about either going for the festival or later because i assume the folks there will be exhausted and cleaning up after a few days of festival

sadly the ryokan i stay at has no earlier availability i‘ll check later if i find something during the festival

[gentle wasp]

Ohhh gotcha. Yeah if you’re in the area you should do the festival it should be cool. On the 2nd they will burn a huge mountain in the background and I think on the 4th it’s just a massive water fight in the streets lol

I believe it’s like all access to all onsens for free too

I’m thinking of doing beppu on the 2nd only, yufuin the 3rd, and the Fukuoka 4/5

[nova terrace]

Oops I meant til the 14th of April😅

[final saddle]

Sweet! Gives me a reason to finally read stone ocean. How do you find these events?

[weak sage]

I’ve never been! It’s the jojo event they do yearly but it’s never been this special before. I’m pretty sure they are gearing up to announce steel ball run. There’s giant characters irl and a bunch of shops. It will be plastered all over shibuya.

[proud schooner]

i‘m going from Fukuoka via Nagasaki, Kumamoto to Beppu and from there towards Okayama.. it’s a bit of a weird route honestly, so i may as well replan it to go see the festival if i‘m already in the area^^ thanks for mentioning it btw!

Hi! I am going to be in Japan from 18th April -> 3rd May. In Tokyo from 18th April -> 25th April and 1st May -> 3rd May. In Kyoto from 25th April -> 28th April and in Kinosaki Onsen from 28th April -> 1st May. I am going to be travelling solo and not gonna lie I'm kinda nervous about travelling alone. Would love to meet up with some people if anyone is up for it. 😁

[fossil grove]

Hey bro! Yeah, first time can be nerve-wracking. I'm down to go out for anything in Tokyo 23-25.04. Lemme know what you're into and we can arrange something 🙂

[tough badger]

I was going to Osaka, but the prices for travel to go between Tokyo and Osaka was like yikes

[proud schooner]

i mean.. it's like 500km between the 2 😅

[weak sage]

If you book the Shinkansen in advance, 26,000 round
10,000 round if you fly

[tough badger]

I miss the old prices

[tough badger]

I should have 😅

[weak sage]

You can still get the flight 5000 each way if u wanted

Jet star

[tough badger]

I have to look into that

[fallow cliff]

Hell yeah! Would love to arrange to do something on the 23rd or 24th (I'm heading to Kyoto on the 25th 😁 ). Honestly, I'm open to anything! I have a rough itinerary for each day and on the 23rd I currently have most of the day down as exploring Shibuya but I don't mind altering plans if you can think of anything else which could be fun! (I don't have anything down for the 24th yet as I am still planning my trip as we speak 😂 )

I don't mind if may be we arrange meeting for food then going for some drinks in the evening or explore together during the day and then have some food/drinks later on in the day. In terms of interests: I'm into anime/manga, music, gaming, technology in general but honestly I just as interested in seeing and learning about things... I really am open to doing anything 😅 I would love to meet up with a group of people to have a proper night out with everyone if anyone else is also interested in meeting up.

[hollow flax]

Hey 🙂 In Tokyo from 15th April to 22nd, more than happy to meet up and do whatever

[hollow flax]

I think im gonna fly domestically this trip instead of shinkansen, the novelty of trains has worn off

[frank bear]

Wow I must've stopped getting notifications the country tomorrow for Japan I'm so STOKED

[hollow flax]

I fly out in 16 days

I dont get excited until im actually sitting on a plane though 😩

[fallow cliff]

Would love to meet up between the 19th and 22nd! Even if its just for food and some drinks in the evening. I do have plans on those dates but I can either move things around or we could do some of the things together or just meetup after I have done the main things that I want to get done on those days 😁

[vagrant river]

Those are my last few days in Japan. Would be down to meet up

[fallow cliff]

Hell yeah! What dates could you do? Maybe we can arrange to meetup as a group on a specific date 😁
