New Year’s Eve 2024 Tokyo

[short geode]

Wassup 27 M from NYC , in Tokyo on Nye looking for any plans

[shadow badger]

Ayo. 27m, nyc/bos/den/sjc.

Will be in Tokyo starting the 29th. Following for plans! Should be staying near shinjuku so p central!

Haven’t done much research on Tokyo yet. But down for some good food and drinks. 🙂 I also enjoy a good cocktail or two.

Not a huge clubber but can be convinced depending on energy levels.

[short geode]

I'm in for anything except for clubbing. There is a fox parade going on as per discord I'm looking to it for now.

Worst case let's head to shibuya midnight new year ( the Japanese times square)

[shadow badger]

oh quite interesting: https://www.timeout.com/tokyo/things-to-do/oji-fox-parade

@short geode are you only in tokyo NYE? or do you get in before?

[lone heron]

I'm up for anything that isn't clubbing really

[shadow badger]

@lone heron what dates are you around?

[lone heron]

I'm here until 6th

Only stuff i have tickets for is kabuki theater tomorrow and comiket 29th

Other days are flexible

[short geode]

In Tokyo from 29 till 1 . I'll be in Tokyo on Nye

[vale quartz]

That one is nice if you participate as one of the 80 foxes (but registration are closed)

49M, France, btw. Up for any NY Eve event btw. For now, hesitating between a sleepover to check on the sunrise at a beach house, or just going to a french bar for some party

[tough dock]

20M from France, i'm in for pretty much anything !

[swift geyser]

Come here, there’s already a bunch of Discord people joining

NYE in a live music venue with both bands and DJs going is a step above a typical nightclub experience

New Year’s Eve 2024 Tokyo

[livid falcon]

Is there a thread for the Calabash thing or are people just gonna meet up there?

[shadow badger]

Is the implication here that it’s not worth it as a spectator?

[vale quartz]

definitely a different experience. It's nice but kinda short, and not much around but the celebration

[shadow badger]

Ah got it. Thanks for the insights!

[dark zinc]

Anyone going to Womb at Shibuya?

[sinful locust]

Still on the fence here what to do with New Years.
Womb might be cool with a little group, but the fox parade also looks unique.

Calabash also looks nice, but it's in Setagaya, unless i'm mistaken? Seems a bit hard to get home from.

[swift geyser]

It's Shimokitazawa, 1 stop from Shibuya and 2 from Shinjuku

The wards/'cities' (Setagaya, Chiyoda, Taito etc.) are big areas and not useful for navigation. Always navigate by the nearest station

[livid falcon]

I'll be going to Calabash, down to meet up

[swift geyser]

Timetable for Calabash

Translations for the Japanese band names: 22:40 The Trouts, 23:25 karaquri gocco, 0:00 hasirikomi, 1:25 SALABA TEIKOKU

Last year it was so popular approaching midnight that they nearly had to restrict entry. They might surpass that this year so I do recommend getting there early

[livid falcon]

Gotta get there early then

[swift geyser]

also cos my DJ set is at 20:30 haha

[grim hatch]

Hello, will there be a fireworks show for NYE?

[swift geyser]

Japan doesn't do fireworks on NYE

There's a 3-minute display in Yokohama and a bigger one at Yokosuka (where there's a US Navy base)

[grim hatch]

Ahhhh thank you. My Japanese friends were telling me about their new year's plan and it sounds quite relaxing

[swift geyser]

Japanese people typically spend NYE at home with family

but in the major cities, there are plenty of parties to go to (scroll up)

[grim hatch]

I had a quick browse above and on another thread 😄 My old person soul isn't gon be pleased lol

I watched a video about NYE from a channel called "Life Where I'm From" and it gave quite a good insight

[merry tiger]

What music they playing?

[swift geyser]

Bands

Live

[merry tiger]

Which type? Techno? Rock?

[swift geyser]

Variety

The names are there you can look them up

or just trust that it’s gonna be a good party (it will be)

[merry tiger]

Is somebody going and wanna meet up upfront for some food? Btw m35

[livid falcon]

I'm gonna go and a few others too I think but we don't have any concrete plans yet

[merry tiger]

Ok let me know if u have one. Would be joining if u don't mind

[livid falcon]

👍 Im probably down to get food or something beforehand, really have no plans for that day yet except be there for the event

[celest viper]

Also planning on going with a couple friends

[prisma quarry]

29M from Brazil. I'm up for anything that isn't clubbing haha

[prisma quarry]

Where are you guys going? Interested in joining too

[modern meteor]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/CYYL2qLB9aL3xqdL7

Is this the correct place?

[merry tiger]

Probably going to this Indie bar for Nye. I also looking up liquid room and womb

[hazy siren]

I think there's one in Odaiba or so I heard

[small prairie]

It is 👍

[swift geyser]

Yes!

[fallen locust]

Hey, I'll be here on nye aswell, is there enough space for me??

[hallow kite]

Me (M25) and my partner (F27) from UK are interested in meeting up at Basement Bar after seeing all the interest.

What time would people likely be meeting up?

[swift geyser]

In the group yes. But like I said the venue may fill up so don’t get there late

I’ll be there from the start. Before that will be setting up so can’t join any pre-food stuff…

[shrewd marlin]

29M from the US looking for plans for NYE in Tokyo. Any good Bar recommendations? 🙏

[swift geyser]

Scroll up first!

[fresh sundial]

if you don't participate in the oji fox parade itself, should you just come to oji inari shrine beforehand? or can you also go to Shozoku Inari Jinja Shrine as a non participant and walk towards the other Shrine, albeit not on the main street. what are you guys going to do?

[vale quartz]

Go to the dedicated thread?

[fresh sundial]

oh, ty

[ebon belfry]

37/F probably gonna go to this fox parade!

[ebon belfry]

If this is your plan can I tag?

[livid falcon]

Are you going to the fox parade? Cuse I was mentioning food for the Calabash countdown

If it's for the countdown I think myself @small prairie @fierce mango are going but there are no plans, I'm down to meet up before it and grab food nearby though

[ebon belfry]

Oh yah I’m going to 🦊 parade.

[short geode]

I'm in for fox parade as well for now.

[frail pagoda]

Fox parade is sold out I believe

[ebon belfry]

It’s free through?

[swift geyser]

Only to participate. Anyone can watch

[ebon belfry]

I’m not trying to participate.

[frail pagoda]

I'd love to see your set? It's at Calabash right?

[swift geyser]

Yes

I'm on early, 8:30

[ebon belfry]

I hope you have a great time @swift geyser!

[blazing linden]

Just checking here - is it a good idea to start queuing outside Meiji shrine around 10 PM for Hatsumode?

[frail pagoda]

Womb is sold out jusk

[faint drum]

What are the best clubs in closer to the crossing to do countdown at?

Shinjuku/Shibuya area

Staying in shimbashi so anywhere close to that is fine

[swift geyser]

In Shibuya, WWW
https://wwwwwwx.zaiko.io/item/368867

[sinful locust]

Awww,
Welp, that settles it. We're doing the fox parade then ^^

[wary copper]

How many people here are going to the shimo event?

[gloomy rain]

I plan to. Can I go back to my hotel in Ikebukuro from there?

I mean if it’s super late

[swift geyser]

Not until the trains start running at 4-5am

unless you wanna taxi it ( 💸 )

[swift geyser]

I haven’t been counting but there’s gotta be at least 15

[cold forge]

I'd like to join in on that too if possible, have you already choosen a meetup-spot/time ?

[swift geyser]

#1320793054751232141

[cold forge]

Perfect ty

[cerulean vortex]

Keen to send it at the calabash event tonight. 32M from Aus

[frail pagoda]

I'm going to calabash and then WWW if anyone wants to join

[wary copper]

does calabash have just like a general bar area away from the stage etc. or is it all gig stuff

[swift geyser]

It's across two venues, and they both have a bar which is on the dancefloor but away from the stage

Also you can hang around outside between the two venues

[wary copper]

Thanks

[small prairie]

Wait, thought the trains were running all night tonight?

[swift geyser]

Not all lines

The two at Shimokitazawa (Keio Inokashira and Odakyu) are not

[little nymph]

Staying in a hotel near Roppongi. There was talks of karaoke in shimokitazawa tonight but I’m open if there are any plans happening

[frail pagoda]

Headed to Calabash be there by 8 and then MAYBE shibuya but it depends if I'm dead by 10 lol

[livid falcon]

Do you know how late they will run tonight?

[frail pagoda]

Not past 12 lol

[little nymph]

What is that?

[swift geyser]

Normal weekend/holiday timetable, so until just after midnight

[small prairie]

At least on Google Maps, seems last one is 12:08

[small prairie]

Also just checked and I'm fucked by this too

My hotel is ~3 stops west of Ikebukuro...

And that line stops at 11:50

Any idea what a taxi from Shimokitazawa to Ekoda would run?

[swift geyser]

Post-midnight ¥6500 ish

[small prairie]

💀

Well fuck

[swift geyser]

https://tenor.com/view/going-hard-all-night-stephen-sharer-midnight-song-partying-all-night-staying-up-all-night-gif-26278649

[small prairie]

Alternatively walk 6 miles 😂

[livid falcon]

Maybe a few of us can split a taxi to the nearest running station

[swift geyser]

Shibuya or Sasazuka

[pliant cipher]

Me and some friends are going to this and I'm also staying near ikebukuro station, so I'm down to split a taxi if we leave at the same time?

And anyone else who lives nearish to ikebukuro

[gloomy rain]

That would be perfect. What time are you heading there by the way?

[small prairie]

Hm, if I can get back to Ikebukuro, that'd only be ~2.2 miles...

Rough, but doable.

[pliant cipher]

Awesome, I'm planning to get to shimo at around 6ish to meet my friends and get some food before the event, feel free to join if you want

Granted I have no clue how busy restaurants will be and have no reservations lol

[pliant cipher]

About a 40-50 mins walk, I've personally done worse haha

[small prairie]

I might ask to tag along for the taxi 👀

[pliant cipher]

We can also try look for a good halfway point?

[small prairie]

If there's room 💀

[small prairie]

Tru tru

[livid falcon]

When are you guys gonna leave?

[pliant cipher]

Well including you, it's 3 so far

[livid falcon]

I might dip right after new years since I'm going early shrine visiting

[pliant cipher]

I'm thinking around 1-2, I wanna hang out a bit after countdown

[small prairie]

I could do either, I think I can write off early morning plans after that much walking 😂

[pliant cipher]

Honestly I'm just going with whatever the general consensus is, if you lot wanna leave earlier, totally cool with me

[fierce mango]

I'm learning towards leaving right after

[small prairie]

I think they start a group right at midnight, if it was me heading home I'd probably head back after their first song or two (like 12:10ish)

[fierce mango]

Works for me

[swift geyser]

Perhaps the show will be good enough for you to want to stay :)

[small prairie]

The mind is willing, but the body has walked 42km over the last 72 hours...

[pliant cipher]

Lmao true, I've been known to change my mind last minute

[gloomy rain]

I’ll take a nap and tag along wherever you guys will be by the time I wake up. Is that cool?

I’m also ok to leave whenever after the countdown

[pliant cipher]

I'll create a ikebukuro taxi group chat for us so we don't crowd this, leave an emoji under this if you're interested so I can add you

[small prairie]

Just about to head out there rn here (photos + food), I can figure out transport logistics later 😂

[pliant cipher]

Sounds good, after food we're just staying in the area until the event anyway

[livid falcon]

Just got back to my room, gonna rest then I'll see you guys out there

But taxi around 12:10-ish sounds fine to me

[small prairie]

For me, the added travel time of going back to my hotel then down to Shimokitazawa basically removes any time to chill, so imma head down there and just chill there 😂

[pliant cipher]

Just sent out a few invites to the group, we'll keep track of when to leave and meet there

[faint drum]

Send one more

[livid falcon]

Hit me up with one too 👍

[fresh sundial]

yall think arriving at calabash at 9 and still getting a seat is feasable?

[frail pagoda]

It's further up in the chat I think

[frail pagoda]

Love ur profile pix

[hallow kite]

@swift geyser any chance you could link the address for Calabash again?

[swift geyser]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/c97GC1sDjcLM3CpM9?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

[hallow kite]

Amazing cheers

[pliant cipher]

So anyone know when's the latest we can show up and still expect to have space for entry?

[compact spruce]

Is anyone gg to the liquid room nye party

[swift geyser]

Yes

From the Discord and also just in general

"might" is always a stab to the heart

I will be there from the start

Yes

[small prairie]

I found a seat, so I'm just chilling

My feet need all the rest they can get to survive tonight

[wintry totem]

Getting food then I'll be over

[blissful crane]

@small prairie do they have a cover charge?

[faint drum]

Heading your way lads

[fresh sundial]
