[compact quest]

Nintendo museum has an opening for the 15th if anyone in Kyoto is interested

[wet charm]

Damn it’s already gone

[compact quest]

Yea, stayed up for a good 5 mins I think. But they always go quick 🤪

[shrewd gust]

It's like Nick Cage

Also, I'll be going on the 26th

[boreal ember]

Anyone at Osaka Ramen-Expo around 6pm? 😄

[rotund lodge]

any ideas on what to do on a rainy day like today in tokyo?

really don't wanna be lazy in my hotel room lol

[noble osprey]

Do what you’d normally do with an umbrella/rain poncho

Congrats, you’re the 40% of people that still go places so things are gonna be less swamped

[shrewd gust]

I'm going to do some hard off hunting in the west if anyone wants to come

After I'm done with visiting temples

[wide kettle]

museums, galleries, shopping malls, indoor events

[rotund lodge]

true id imagine those places will be slightly less crowded so thats a plus

[noble osprey]

Idk if I’d say indoor things are going to be less crowded tbh

[summer siren]

@blissful light looks like it's not til the 21st, so I won't be here to join but here you go

https://maps.app.goo.gl/6UccJ3NwhGVsAZ1cA

[willow leaf]

Close to Ikebukuro?

[pale ember]

Do you know how I could get these cards without necessarily going to the One Piece base?

[shrewd gust]

No, I'm going west out into the boonies

[calm drift]

Find the japanese name and paste it on Buyee or Mercari (if it's not up wait a some days it will be eventually).

[runic wren]

What city are you heading to?

[shrewd gust]

I'm on my way to chofu

[brazen gale]

Does anyone plan on going to Disneyland tomorrow or Disney sea Tuesday?

[pale ember]

Ahah i don’t know the name looool

[wide kettle]

#shopping
Likely they're shop exclusive so your only option is from a scalper (probably ¥¥¥¥¥)

¥35,000 🤯
https://jp.mercari.com/item/m28133579686

[pale ember]

Yes, I think you can buy it in the shop for less than 2000 yen, but the resale value is wow!

[dire knoll]

just went to yamadera

not ideal timing, cloud cover was at eye level so you could not see a bloody thing anywhere

snow was nice though

[plucky current]

The same as I was doing before but with an umbrella.

[forest axle]

Could I enter to Yukosuka naval base as tourist?

[runic wren]

Yeah… you weren’t joking then…
Are you hunting a super specific item or something?

[shrewd gust]

Going as off the beaten path as possible will bring with it better deals

[runic wren]

Indeed. Good luck.

[calm drift]

Also ask them if you can enter the Yatagarasu base

do not actually ask them

[forest axle]

I am serious about that.

[wide kettle]

No

[forest axle]

Ah, arigato gozaishimas.

[blissful light]

going to Disneyland on 22nd but don’t know if you’ll still be around.

[blissful light]

Oh ok thanks

yeah glad to get some stuff from the one yesterday

[frail oxide]

Staying in Kyoto 12/13-12/18 and Osaka 12/18-12/24 if anyone wants to hang out

Will be bar hopping golden gai 12/24

[summer siren]

Think my day today is just sticking around Akihabara unless something interesting peaks my interest

[jovial gorge]

Anyone in Nagasaki people?

[buoyant knot]

I will be in like 1.5 weeks

[frail oxide]

I’m thinking of staying at gran customa in Shinjuku for my last night 12/24. Would you say it’s as good place to get drunk and rage or is shibuya a better place ?

[shrewd gust]

I'll be in Osaka the same time as you

[shrewd gust]

Shibuya

It's called a Shibuya Meltdown for a reason

[fleet thistle]

Anyone up for a yakitori place in tokyo? Also down for anything meat heavy.

[shrewd gust]

Maybe after I'm done with pokemon cafe

[fleet thistle]

Yea sure. When are you thinking you will be done? Im at a climbing gym on the east side of shibuya.

[gentle swan]

you climb often?

would come but just heading onto flight to tokyo in few hours

[fleet thistle]

Yea i climb pretty often. Trying to go every other day. Looks like we missed our opportunity.

[wanton flicker]

Damn, I also climb often. Should have asked here while I was in Japan Will do that next time.

[ancient garden]

I will be traveling these dates and cities!

Osaka
Dec 15-16

Kyoto
Dec 16-17

Tokyo

[wanton flicker]

[gentle swan]

[fleet thistle]

[gentle swan]

[fleet thistle]

Yea cool. Then lets try and hang (pun intended) #comedyGenius

[ionic coral]

I climb semi frequently and will be in Kichioji Monday - Thursday if anyone's keen to go together

[frail oxide]

I’ll be in kyoto those days

[fleet thistle]

Im down to climb. Here is the bouldering chat #1430808479983079545

[shrewd gust]

I'm there right now. Probably after 8

[knotty fable]

Are you trying to speedrun Japan?

[placid mesa]

Time for dinner, what to eat

[ancient garden]

I’ve been in Okinawa the past week for a wedding so I have til the 19 to see stuff on the main land

[cyan rune]

French fries and beer

[placid mesa]

Def will have some beer

[cyan rune]

Beer is basically food just as water so 🤷

[placid mesa]

Maybe tonkatsu

Or there is a soba place very close

[fleet thistle]

I recommend gyukatsu.

[placid mesa]

I looove gyukatsu, had it twice on this trip, but the tonkatsu place is closer and I'm lazy today

[knotty fable]

Tonkatsu is better anyways

[fleet thistle]

Umm. Ok i think thats fine. Ill try and kill more time. I think you are in ikebukuro right?

[placid mesa]

damn, now you made me want gyukatsu though

[fleet thistle]

Lol. How about okonomiyaki?

[placid mesa]

Not a massive fan

[forest axle]

I am in Shibuya right now, want go to Parco.

In Shibuyakuritsu Miyashita Park people were shooting tiktok like 10 pairs in the same time.

Is it some sort of challenge?

[placid mesa]

The tonkatsu place is closed, so I guess I do gyukatsu

[fleet thistle]

Do a dance to claim dominance

[shrewd gust]

Chuo

[placid mesa]

Maybe I go Shibuya. Are people out tonight?

[junior flame]

Anyone going out tonight? Here in akibahara

[willow leaf]

Yakiniku anyone?
Don't wanna go too far from Ikebukuro tho...

[fleet thistle]

Im in shibuya killing time. But i do want to eat soon. Im down for meat.

All ive had is a coffee and donut.

[willow leaf]

I'll join in on the meat party!

[placid mesa]

I'm on the train to Ikebukuro now, was gonna have gyukatsu

[unreal wedge]

Anyone want to walk around roppongi and grab drinks/food

[willow leaf]

I'm down at around 8. I don't really feel like having gyukatsu tho? 🫨

[placid mesa]

It's okay, I'm gonna eat alone cus I'm starving 😂

[fleet thistle]

Lol this is getting complicated.

@willow leaf do you have a place in mind? There seem to be a few meat places here in shibuya. I dont know when things close on a sunday, so maybe going to chuo is not an option. Thinking out loud.

[shrewd gust]

Just grab some food and we can hop to other places after

But also, I kind of want to just pass out

[fleet thistle]

Yea thats where my head is at. was just holding out for hope

Im staying in ikebukuro, so going there is perfectly fine

[willow leaf]

In shibuya, no. There's an all you can eat yakiniku in Ikebukuro.

https://maps.app.goo.gl/DU969QpgLzPizyAW8

[fleet thistle]

That sounds great. Ill just head up there now

[willow leaf]

Deal. See you there 😉

[fleet thistle]

The google say i get there at 8:22

[willow leaf]

Perfect. It's a 10 min walk for me.

[vagrant bane]

Can I join you guys for yakiniku, I’m not too far

[willow leaf]

ofc!

[vagrant bane]

Great ! Google maps says I should be here at 8:25

[fleet thistle]

Crap. I missed the train. Seems like 8:35 for me. :/

[willow leaf]

No worries

[willow leaf]

Short asian, green jacket.

[blissful light]

how did you like Okinawa?

[placid mesa]

Done with all my stuff if people are out for drinks

[shrewd gust]

@fleet thistle sorry, dude. I fucked off back to Aki

[fleet thistle]

All good. I meet up with peeps and we are eating meat!

[shrewd gust]

If you want to come to aki after let me know

[placid mesa]

Almost at Shibuya if people are out somewhere. Not gonna stay too late

[plucky current]

I wanted some drinks but I'm too far. It'll take like 40 minutes to get to Shibuya sadly.

[hybrid chasm]

Anyone in Osaka?

[cursive yarrow]

In Shibuya if anyone wants to grab some drinks

[rotund lodge]

I'm basically doing the reverse direction of that but going to be in Tokyo until the 18th

[unreal wedge]

I’m in Kyoto the same days as you

[cyan rune]

Dam how I missed all the Shibuya messages 😭 I was looking for drink buddies at 2130

[hybrid chasm]

@ancient garden I'll be in Osaka till 17th. Let me know if you want to meet for drinks or food. Also doing a few tours on 15th and 16th in case you want to join

[ancient garden]

I’m planning to do the Tori gates in Kyoto, not sure if you’re interested but you are more than welcome!

[ancient garden]

I would love to join! I have no plans now! I get in tomorrow night!

[ancient garden]

I will be in Shibuya/Tokyo 17-18!

[ancient garden]

Absolutely gorgeous! It’s the “Hawaii” of Japan… people are extremely friendly… Naha is great for shopping, as well as American Villiage… Chatan is great for site seeing!

[unreal wedge]

I am interested! Not sure what time I will be arriving though. What time do you think you would be going?

[placid mesa]

We walked to Chatan from Naha, it was pretty nuts. Also, Tinder there is extreme😂😂

[blissful light]

Ah nice, I will visit someday 🫡

[ancient garden]

😭😭 lol

[ancient garden]

Since it does talk a while to go thru earlier than later… no specific time yet but probably around noon?

[runic fog]

Hi, I'll be in Japan Dec 16-30. Starting in Tokyo and mostly winging it. I'm going solo, so would be cool to find other people looking for some company. I'm planning to try a lot of Sushi/Ramen spots, into hiking/climbing. Will probably be visiting several of the common attractions as well.
And I currently have a reservation at Satake on 12/18 20:00. If you'd like to join me let me know!

[runic wren]

How long did that take?
(And why didn’t you take the bus?)

[shrewd gust]

Anyone want some shipping materials to safeguard your purchases?

I got a bunch of extra bubble wrap

[placid mesa]

Like three hours each way. We just like walking

[earnest cosmos]

Hey everyone, it's nice to meet you all.
I'm 32m from Australia arriving in Osaka on the 23rd of December till the 28th. From the 28th of Dec to Jan 4th I will be in Tokyo.

Keen to hangout during the day if our plans match / drink at night!

Happy to send my current plans for the trip!

[shrewd gust]

I'll be leaving Osaka when you arrive, but I'll be back in Tokyo on the 29th and will have some time on the 30th

[earnest cosmos]

Awesome, I'm planning to go Nakano and Ikebukuro on 29th, TeamLabs Tokyo DMM, Odaiba and Akihabara on 30th if you're keen!

[covert tiger]

Ill be in Tokyo from the 3rd to the 6th

Lets drink

[shrewd gust]

I get in during the afternoon, as I'm going to be coming from Nagoya, so I'll probably meet up wherever you're at

[shrewd gust]

I fly out at 6pm, so probably will have to bail around 1 or 2ish, but I'm down

[earnest cosmos]

im keen!

[earnest cosmos]

Okay sounds good!

[covert tiger]

SAKE!

[shrewd gust]

My dude, you're in Japan. Do like the locals and get a highball

[covert tiger]

@shrewd gust my girl, I'll be in Japan. why not try everything?

[shrewd gust]

Not a girl

[covert tiger]

oops...

[shrewd gust]

Unless you are

[shrewd gust]

Don't worry about it. It happens

The name comes from my last name being too hard for some folks

Not my first name

[rotund lodge]

I'd be down to meet on the 17th in Shibuya, haven't gone there yet

[runic wren]

How'd the Chofu sidequest go, btw?

[shrewd gust]

Good. Hit that and Hachioji before rushing back for pokemon cafe

[runic wren]

Did you find any of those "good deals" that you were looking for?

[shrewd gust]

I found one, but didn't find what I wanted to

I have 12 more days to find my go tos

[runic wren]

"I go tos" - no idea what that is

[shrewd gust]

*my

[runic wren]

[shrewd gust]

[cold shale]

Hey, I just flew into Tokyo last night from Vancouver.

I’m staying in the Shinjuku area and plan to hit up a bar in the area later tonight if anyone wants to join me?

I was thinking this place but I’m flexible on location

https://maps.app.goo.gl/rBBzngcvvGST6Kf8A?g_st=ipc

[clever summit]

I'm on my way to this area but I could only be there in about 1h45, I imagine that's too late for you?

[willow leaf]

Maybe, yea. It's a 50 min drive for me and I'll be there for some time, So It's up to you if you wanna join~

Tricket are 630

[clever summit]

Alright I'll be going around there, I'll tell you when I'm near, don't wait for me

[quartz plaza]

I really wanna play airsoft again

[unreal wedge]

My friend said it’s gonna be super busy. Gonna dm u

[summer siren]

@blissful light some cool parka jackets here in Yokohama World Porter 3F

[slow kettle]

Enjoy your last day here bro

[summer siren]

Will do

[forest axle]

Do you know places where Japanese people want to make a language exchange or spend time with a gajin in general?

[willow leaf]

Maybe you can try meetup.com

[blissful light]

@ Fuji rn

[blissful light]

that white jacket is tough 🤧

[knotty fable]

Go to a language exchange event

If you like drinking go to any bar and talk to someone

[summer siren]

Red one looks the most dope imo

It's about ¥7,700 too iirc

[forest axle]

Was you in a Shibuya sky?

[blissful light]

nope haven’t gotten there yet

[rotund lodge]

I'm in Akiba if anyone wants to meet up

at the flying Scotsman

[rotund lodge]

I found this place but the reviews seemed iffy so I didn't go but if you want to brave it https://maps.app.goo.gl/a7DsHMxRFC1sJjvJ7

[slow kettle]

Girl's bar 🤣

[pale ember]

I need to find a bar where people will come talk to me, I'm too shy and yet I'd love to meet new people lol

[calm drift]

Gaijin themed bars

[forest axle]

I am not into that stuff man.

[forest axle]

Any of them?

[calm drift]

Where

All of Japan ?

If you're in Osaka do shooting lama probably

[forest axle]

Ah, in Tokyo.

[calm drift]

Probably a rock bar or muscle girls or a couple more

[runic wren]

I’ll go with you.

[quartz plaza]

Ah wait ive just remembered

@alpine jacinth , did they give you the photos yet?

[shrewd gust]

Heading to Hakone. Anyone there now?

[slow kettle]

what are you into and what kind of japanese do you want to practice LOL.

[wide kettle]

Look on Meetup for 'international meetup's, there are so many

I find them quite boring though. The only thing everyone has in common is they didn't know anywhere more interesting to go...

[placid mesa]

English Only Cafe

[wide kettle]

The reviews on English Only Cafe are hilarious

[placid mesa]

Hahaha I like it there though, I go now and then and have always met cool people

[slow kettle]

are the staff as bad as the reviews say

[runic wren]

Google Maps score is pretty damn low. 😬

[calm drift]

My personal opinion is their liquor is far from the best and cocktail quality in JP is meh in general.
However small bars are their own thing and you're there to discover them. Not for them to achieve your expectations. That being said if you sit and be cool and try to enjoy what little there is they will try to communicate or entertain you if that is an option

[queen quest]

Just a reminder - there is a no self promotion rule on the server...

[placid mesa]

I never noticed any issues with the staff there

[wide kettle]

There is another server where you can share gig info to your heart's content 🤫
https://discord.gg/M6VrR2Sh

[junior flame]

Anyone wanna join me for a drink tonight? My friend told me to go to Golden Gai if I wanna bar hop

[ancient garden]

I’ll be staying near shibuya station! I also am meeting up with a friend probably to do some shopping and touristy stuff!

[rotund lodge]

I wouldn't mind joining. I'm solo travelling right now

[drifting swan]

Whoops sorry, I’ve deleted my show flyer.

[drifting swan]

Thanks for this!

[plucky current]

I was planning on going to Shinjuki tonight but probably only for 1-2 hours

[plucky current]

Wow. Where is this view?

[fleet thistle]

Anyone down for sushi? kinda having a lazy day

[plucky current]

I was thinking of going here tonight but when I was there last Thursday it felt like an amusement park and an annoying tout made it seem lime a scam. They only stand near one entrance so they're not bothering anyone inside and on a weekday I imagine tourist crowd is smaller.

[clever summit]

I'd be down to join you! What time do you plan on going?

[plain flume]

Where at?

[fleet thistle]

I was going to go here: https://tabelog.com/en/tokyo/A1306/A130602/13264172/ . but im open to other sushi places.

[plain flume]

Ooo I'm down. I'm in shinjuku right now. Have a time in mind?

[fleet thistle]

I was getting ready. From ikebukero it will take 40 ish minutes. So maybe in 1 hour from now?

[plain flume]

Alrighty, see you there (Korean guy with orange hoodie and black poofy jacket)

[fleet thistle]

sweet. Im wearing all black, curly hair, and glasses. 👍

[alpine jacinth]

I got no messages from them

[quartz plaza]

[snow path]

I am free during the daytime tomorrow, if anyone wants to hang in the Asakusa/Ryogoku area. Meeting a couple people for cheap food/drinks.

[calm drift]

Simple unagi was like 4.5k
This was triple

[pale ember]

Do you know guys Where can I find this ? 😭🙏

[quartz plaza]

akihabara ig

[ionic coral]

@junior flame sorry I didn't see your message. Just leaving golden gai gonna head to Shibuya and catch some people in the Tokyo Nightlife chat

[grand cobalt]

think its like 13k loool

[pale ember]

I know ahah, Any adress Where can I find it without spending 3 hours searching?😭😂

[amber timber]

should go to Nakano Broadway. Everything in the same building (and cheaper than Akiba)

[buoyant pollen]

If you venture further out they may have them at konbinis. I saw a few packs about a week ago north of Nippori. Hit or miss tho... But last year I commonly saw packs at Konbinis outside core Tokyo area

[pale ember]

Something like 120€ so 21000¥ lmao

For the pack*

lol that's my max, it doesn't mean I'll buy the pack for €120, well I hope not

Okeey ty ! I am currently heading towards Nakano

[grand cobalt]

Any card shop should have boxes

[jovial gorge]

Hey! Anyone in Sapporo in the next two days? 🙂

[forest axle]

Did someone try Japanese suffle pancakes?

Mine is small right now in the cafe. Maybe, you guys know the place?

[dire knoll]

is there anything to do in hachinohe

[pale ember]

Update : I'm currently in Nakano and it's so big I can't even find a card shop lol

[dire knoll]

accidentally took the wrong bullet train

so I'm stuck here for a couple of hours

😭

kinda seems like the middle of bumfuck nowhere so far

[wide kettle]

Morning market and interesting nightlife, both of which you're at the wrong time of day for

[dire knoll]

welp

[wide kettle]

https://en.japantravel.com/aomori/hachinohe

[dire knoll]

there seems to be a castle

and a shrine

I guess I can visit those

[dire knoll]

not to be too mean but calling whatever that is a castle has gotta be a misnomer

that is a thatched house in the middle of a field 😭

[cyan rune]

Anyone been to https://tokyocheapo.com/events/boroichi/
Yet?

[rotund lodge]

Any luck?

[pale ember]

16000¥ here, I don't know if I can find it cheaper in Akihabara 🫢 What do you think guys

[rotund lodge]

Akiba def won't be cheaper

Way more tourist priced stuff

[gentle flame]

Anyone have any recommendations on where to pick up a Polaroid camera and film near shinjuku unplan? I want one for my travels 🙂

ChatGPT says bic camera but not sure if someone knows a better spot.

[grand cobalt]

Might be cheaper overall since there’s more tax free stores

[knotty fable]

“Shinjuku used camera market 新宿中古カメラ市場”
“Used camera BOX 中古カメラBOX”
“Shinjuku Kitamura Camera 新宿 北村写真機店” (go up the elevator)

I went to all 3 and they had great selection

[calm drift]

10-13k on buyee

Only ships out of Japan however

[buoyant pollen]

Not sure the best place to ask... But anyone golf here? Would be pretty sick but the nice courses are the hardest to get to it looks like

[pale ember]

I will have already left by then

[calm drift]

? Only ships at your house not in jpn

[rotund lodge]

Any advice on where to buy shirts/clothes that are a bit unique to Japan? i.e not the unqlo, big brands that I can get anywhere else now

[wide kettle]

You can make your own channel in #1055718934483062804 for a special interest or specific event etc.

[gentle flame]

Thank you so much!

[pale ember]

Well, I ended up buying 2 packs, so 33,000 yen 🤡🥲

[north patio]

Men or women? My other half has fallen in love with a store called Murua, there's one in Skytree and one in Shibuya and probably some others

[rotund lodge]

For men/unisex

Ah thanks for the suggestions

I'm going to Skytree soon so it works out!

[dire knoll]

this is actually nowhereville man

the shrine looks like the only thing worth seeing but the local train line isn't running

so I'd have to walk back about 10km to hachinohe station

which is a major pain in the ass

[placid mesa]

For women at least, I like the different clothes shops at Sunshine City

[placid mesa]

Ah, sorry. There might be good stuff for men there too though, I never looked

[gentle flame]

Second on the clothing because I need new clothes haha

[long ether]

I’m looking for stores that have more variety of cards, any suggestions? I had a look at shibuya but it was pretty low on stock for every booster

[grand cobalt]

Akiba or ikebukuro, try ur luck at combini also

My local combini is stocked everyday with mega dream 2 pack limit tho

[pale ember]

No, you're cute haha. I just bought two boosters, that's enough for me already 😂😭 but thank you 🫶🫶

[fleet thistle]

There are a bunch of stores just east of harajuku. I think there are second hand stores.

[grand cobalt]

Shimokita and Koenji for 2nd hand vintage

[forest axle]

Preper for a long queue. 🙂

[rotund lodge]

Oh is it that bad right now?

[forest axle]

As I understand it's always like that, I was a few days before.

[rotund lodge]

Ah, how long did you wait

[forest axle]

I already got used to be in a queue.

[forest axle]

Not that much, in total everything was for 2 hours including queue.

[rotund lodge]

Ah not bad

[shrewd gust]

Anyone going to be in Tokyo on the 29th and want to hit the DQ cafe?

[rotund lodge]

I thought you meant like an hour+ just for the queue

[forest axle]

I liked that, views are astonishing.

[rotund lodge]

Nice

[forest axle]

By the way, how bad is in Roppongi with touts? It was bearable in Shibuya and Kabukicho. However, it's not that fun when I almost runaway from people.

Also, it was so embaracing in Kabukicho, I saw the line of cosplayers with prices, I thought it's for taking photo with cosplayer.

I almost wanted to ask for a photo, it's cold on a street, but saw something with higher price and heart symbols. I got away.

[north patio]

Anyone fancy grabbing lunch and beers in Aki? It's really nice out

[worthy reef]

Late lunch lol, I was just there

Anyone planning dinner yet? Wondering if I should hit up Shibuya or Ginza next

[mortal brook]

I was at skytree just last night and there were no lines anywhere. The bottom desk had barely any people, the top desk was surprisingly more crowded. But there was no queue to buy tickets and maybe like 3min wait max to the elevators

[worthy reef]

Damn maybe I should swing by there

[bitter geyser]

Hey folks! Might be a bit of a long shot but if anyone is around takayama in the next couple of days would love to hang out and grab drinks! 🙂

[north patio]

ye late breakfast too, woke up at 10am after a really late sauna last night. absolutely melted

i'm thinking of hitting this retro game + bar in aki tonight not far from the station if a few people fancy it

https://maps.app.goo.gl/hcEvXgA6d52JV2fs9

it's easy to get to, exit the station via the electric town exit, turn right out of the station past beck's and tamashi, keep going straight and it's on your right

[worthy reef]

I'm down

Might as well make it a weeb day

[north patio]

sick. alright i'm thinking 6pm

they seem to have a food menu too but i plan on eating beforehand myself

[worthy reef]

Sorry to whoever @ me lol

[placid mesa]

Might head out later and could meet up after dinner.

[placid mesa]

My friends went to this bar on their trip and highly recommended it, so I'd love to come along

[north patio]

More the merrier

[plucky current]

I'm interested

[rotund lodge]

@forest axle no line to buy tickets at this time

Well barely, waited less than a minute

The time slot for now was full though so booked it next hour

[fleet thistle]

I may be able to join. I have an event / social thing to go to at 6 so maybe i can join after 8?

[north patio]

@worthy reef @placid mesa @plucky current @fleet thistle okay that's a few of us now, apozo that sounds fine just let us know if and when to make sure we're still there as well

[placid mesa]

When are you thinking of going? I could come around 6:30-7 maybe

[north patio]

I floated 6pm earlier but happy to push it back to 7pm to accommodate more people

[mortal brook]

I could maybe come around 7 too

[muted hamlet]

Ooo I might make it with a friend too, looks fun

[upper summit]

I might also be able to make it out for 7ish, especially if Street Fighter might be involved

(count me as a maybe, I might be sleepy when I go home to change)

[plucky current]

7 works for me

[tropic escarp]

Also interested, I can come at like 7 ish

[north patio]

awesome, quite a few people now

[worthy violet]

Might pop by as well if I don’t crash soon

[strong sandal]

Ah, it’s only 30 minutes from my place. I’m in the middle of something right now. If I finish in time, I’ll let you know and head there.

[worthy reef]

It's a whole party

[worthy violet]

I’m getting ready and will head out soon should get there in 30 min or so

[dire knoll]

LMAO

dude I can't even blame you I'd have thought the same

[north patio]

Plenty of space at the bar itself will grab a table if I see one of the big ones free up 😂

[placid mesa]

I'm almost there.

Walked the wrong way😂

[north patio]

I'm the guy at the counter but probably redundant as I'm also the only foreigner here rn

[shrewd gust]

Heading to Hiroshima tomorrow. Anyone in town already?

[north patio]

@worthy reef @plucky current @fleet thistle @mortal brook @muted hamlet @upper summit @tropic escarp @worthy violet @strong sandal fyi first of us have arrived and yes there's Street Fighter

[worthy violet]

Nice I’m like 20 min away

[worthy reef]

I am in the area

[mortal brook]

Ill be there jn like 5min

[upper summit]

Spent ages trying to iron my shirt without an iron, en route now: 30mins

[plucky current]

Is everyone still there? I got stuck somewhere. I should be there in 15 min

[strong sandal]

Just arrived at akihabara station.

[worthy violet]

[placid mesa]

Video game bar closed early

[steady sorrel]

ahh okay

[placid mesa]

We're trying this place. It's empty, but not that big

[silk plaza]

Any place to play smash ultimate?

[slow kettle]

Its not about the 100 yen, its about paying the lowest price possible

[fleet thistle]

So im still at my event thing. I dont think ill be able to join. :/

[cyan rune]

Hey I'm pretty up for it, mind coming to Shibuya? 🤔

I'm not good either, but I'm not drunk (yet)

[silk plaza]

According to Google i could get to shibuya in 40m, know any place?

[cyan rune]

Dam 40m is wild, and yeah there's bagus but it's looks bit different than what I'm used to playing 😅

[cyan rune]

This one

There are plenty other bagus around so whatever is closest to you around Shibuya, I'll join

The amazing sites of 4am

Made it back

Train is optional

[gloomy prairie]

Im so down for karoke sometime

[calm drift]

Seen like 50 of them in rural areas and Osaka , Kyoto. Still let's avoid doing that

[amber timber]

Opening them or reselling in France ? 😅

[steep patio]

Whats up everyone. Just landed in Tokyo this morning. Ate some ramen and roaming around Monzennakacho. Think I might head to Shibuya or Roppongi soon and then I have a ramen reservation in Ikebukuro. I'm here until the 25th. Gonna be eating a lot of ramen lol. Hopefully I'll find some time to chill with y'all. Kanpai!

[pale ember]

It's primarily a birthday present for a friend 😭😭😭

[amber timber]

I wonder how much they resell in France... need to pay part of my flight tickets back

[pale ember]

For now it's like here, but it generally gains value ahah

[amber timber]

I'm completely clueless about poke cards value

[wise tusk]

Since we are on the topic, anyone into ONE PIECE cards? Haha

[calm drift]

I bought cards but not OP or Pokemon.
I do know OP well however

[wise tusk]

Well I’m addicted to OP tcg lol

[calm drift]

[cyan rune]

Best Christmas market you've visited in Tokyo so far? Something that is not entirely food

[buoyant pollen]

I randomly bought a pack from 711 at the start of the trip when I couldn't scratch my pokemon itch. I think it was best of booster. Idk anything about them but some looked cool lol

[calm drift]

Kurashiki
They had actual Christmas market with both western and eastern food
Full decorations, booths, Fashion , and 2 large buildings for crafting decorations

At Ivy garden

[cyan rune]

That's not Tokyo is it? 😅 Maps showing 4 hours train

[calm drift]

It's not Christmas markets in Osaka Kyoto Hiroshima have been just their usual shopping district so far

[cyan rune]

I see, well I won't go that far tho but thanks

[pale ember]

What about that ? Lmao

[zinc osprey]

Hey yall! 33M/US/JP. In Tokyo for the next few days. Got a lot of free time during the day when my friends are living the japanese dream (salaryman life). Down to explore, eat around, day drink, etc. Hit me up if you're down!

[pale ember]

Btw my new favorite place in Shinjuku lmao

[steep patio]

Has anyone hit up a darts up bar? Looks fun.

[fleet thistle]

What is that place called?

[pale ember]

Idk 🤡 LMAOO But I'm going now, I'll tell you.

Maybe Heroes 👹🥲

[steep patio]

I see

[fleet thistle]

Yea, i searched for hereos and couldnt find anything.

[steep patio]

[frozen cove]

Hello everyone. I'm currently living in Tokyo. 32m italian. Arrived in Early October. I will be pretty much alone till the 10th of January. I would like to meet someone 🤗. Now I'm heading to Asakusa, there's the toshi no ichi festival at senso-ji, I'm going to see. Also I'm an amateur photographer so if someone wants some cool pictures I would be glad to improve my skills. Kampai 🍻

[zinc osprey]

@frozen cove hey! I'm down to meet up in asakusa.

[frozen cove]

Noice. Will be there in 20ish minutes

Walking by Sumida rn

[zinc osprey]

I'll be there around 14:30

[dire knoll]

dude I've wanted to do that so badly ever since I saw it in p5r lmao

assuming the game adapted kichijoji accurately there's one there

[shrewd gust]

Anyone near Hiroshima?

[zinc osprey]

But pretty much every area/station has one lol

[dire knoll]

oh shit

yeah I'll probably have to try that out lol

[grand cobalt]

p5r is mid

[shy socket]

damn

[wise tusk]

These are reselling for over $300 in the U.S. lol

I want one to collect but haven’t seen it in Tokyo (and base shop needs reservations)

[wise tusk]

People from Pokemon are flooding in lol

[quartz plaza]

I still have like 2-3 hours ish left on my account

there

i think

wont be going there again tho

[pale ember]

Why ? Ahah

[calm drift]

As someone who's been watching since 2001 if you plan to buy small one piece things for profit I'd say don't bother.
At least buy rare something that will hold its value seiko x OP watches or at least a signed autograph.
I waited 15years for actual merch to hit the western market and when they finally decided they went with mass production.

Just walked out of mandarake 30mins ago they had Magazine Nr1 with OP cover 250,000yen.

[buoyant pollen]

Mr steal ur cards

[north patio]

Future merch value is just a self-soothing lie we tell ourselves to let us buy the stuff we want. Otherwise that money would end up in stocks

[wise tusk]

Wat

You had me until the Seiko watches lol

[calm drift]

most things they release are mass produced, there is a category of "unique" items which one will almost never own all of them because it will be a full time job just to track all those and then you have the few rare things that will keep their value

[wise tusk]

By addiction I mean how can you not love this art lol

[calm drift]

If you collecting for collection purposes it's a different thing.
I only mentioned if it's for "profit" reasons

[rotund lodge]

I got some at the Pokemon center but there was a limit

[wise tusk]

Production is way less than Pokemon tho

[grand cobalt]

wtf one pack pp

[rotund lodge]

For sure

[grand cobalt]

I went to Shibuya yday and met asians mums

[rotund lodge]

Yep

[grand cobalt]

Got 5 peeps worth of packs

[rotund lodge]

Unless you have multiple people that can line up

[grand cobalt]

It’s was 10 heat wave and mega

And 1 mega dream

[buoyant pollen]

If I knew the mega was that limited I would have bought more at the random 711 that had them

[rotund lodge]

Do the 711 keep them behind the counter?

At one right now

[calm drift]

For the cards yes but there is a real scenario where Pokemon goes bust be cause it prints 10bil cards a year then OP will see a rise and fall for the same reason.

None of the card makers should be overproducing

[buoyant pollen]

Ya they'll be visible if they have them. Most in Tokyo don't rn

[rotund lodge]

Ah

[wise tusk]

Yeah lot of stores have a sign saying they don’t have anymore mega dream

[wise tusk]

Uh I think you can say this about mass producing anything lol

[calm drift]

I wouldn't if Yugioh or Weiss and the rest were doing better but they're really not. Meaning there are mostly 2 big cards ppl collect

[wise tusk]

Yeah I think IP matters a lot with these things

I just collect what I love and sell into price spikes and that’s been working out for me 🙂

[calm drift]

It's good

[rotund lodge]

We're at the asahi skyroom

[charred kindle]

Yo did you try this place out? It’s on my itinerary

[zenith tree]

Yeah it was good, reserve the omakase menu beforehand

[worthy violet]

I would love to join you guys but I’ve been going around all day and I’m kinda cooked so will rest cause I’m leaving tomorrow

Hope you have a blast tho!

[rotund lodge]

Yeah no worries we are heading back anyway

Hope your trip was good

[cyan rune]

Hey did you go to karaoke bar or a room yesterday? How was it?

[placid mesa]

yeah, we rented a karaoke room

[cyan rune]

Ah thanks

[rotund lodge]

Anyone in Akiba? Gonna eat here and probably do stuff around it https://maps.app.goo.gl/ixXtpsBqA8dn52Ur5

[rotund lodge]

Yeah it was great

[rotund lodge]

You should! They let you customize a brunch of toppings and there's different types of rice like garlic too

[mystic plume]

any folks in kyoto and doing next few days?

[vocal mirage]

Anything good going on Asakusa side this week?

[wide kettle]

Surely no need to stay over there in a such well-connected city

but still https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1446300729663950908

[vocal mirage]

I like it... I needed somewhere to get my bearings

And the hostels are a good price

[wide kettle]

Yeah it’s the cheapest place to stay that still has decent transport access

[cyan rune]

Found the last red leaves in Tokyo, unless in plastic lel

[north patio]

Some pool tables + drinks tonight, anyone?

Thinking here
https://maps.app.goo.gl/yaYVEZvExyYyd9aX7?g_st=ac

Way more tables than the last one 😇

[deep compass]

I’m possibly down for that tonight, haven’t been out drinking since I got here yet 😀

[north patio]

Lovely, gonna say 7pm again so we can all get dinners out of the way beforehand etc

[rotund lodge]

Do you remember where you bought it from

At nakano Broadway right now

[pale ember]

Uhm….

[pale ember]

Oh my god, I can't remember the name, but it's a flashing sign.

[rotund lodge]

Was it inside or outside?

No worries

[pale ember]

Inside, floor 2 or 3

Its  cube something omg i don’t remember 😭😭😭

[rotund lodge]

Yeah this place

Thanks!

Which one did you buy for 16k?

[deep compass]

sounds good 7 pm works! 🤙🏼

[pale ember]

This one !

[frozen cove]

I'll be in Akihabara this afternoon, I'll be glad to join.

[grand cobalt]

Mega dream is 12k at Akiba

About 11k tax free

[calm drift]

I told him that's online and it delivers to his house. Not even sure import tax will make it reach 20k or whatever they paid

[grand cobalt]

Not online in store

[calm drift]

In store depends on the store anything in central Tokyo or other big cities will charge around the same everywhere.
I had to go like 20min deep in Nagoya and Hiroshima to find cheap and rare

[rocky oriole]

Last day in Fukuoka, and Japan. Anyone around?

[visual ruin]

29M from NYC

I arrive tomorrow (Friday) at 4P will probably be in the city around 6-7P. Staying in Shinjuku Friday & Saturday and considering a day trip to Osaka on Sunday (not set in stone yet). DisneySea on Monday.

Itinerary completely open Friday & Saturday and happy to have anyone accompany me to DisneySea. Let me know!

Just feel free to ping me directly! Down to check out any Raggaeton/Dembow/Afrobeats or EDM clubs as well

[calm drift]

Daytrip to Osaka

[knotty fable]

What dates? My friends are in Tokyo and they don’t have anything booked after new years

[jovial gorge]

Hey guys! Anyone in Tokyo next Sunday/Monday for shopping + drinking?

[forest axle]

Is that gigantic? I booked it for a week, I want to see deers in Nara and visit Kyoto.

[calm drift]

I think many didn't understand it.
He lands Tokyo not Osaka and it's 6h back and forth on train for a daytrip. Plus 100$ I think ?
At this point better to stay a day or two

[worthy reef]

Day trip to Boston would be easier

[placid mesa]

I might join you too. I'm not great at pool though

[forest axle]

By the way, what about deers status in winter sesson in Nara? Are they active?

[placid mesa]

What do you mean by "active"?

They will be around, yeah

[calm drift]

It's warm in Osaka Okayama etc I literally see cherry trees with early seeds on

[forest axle]

I mean, could I pet them and so on?

[calm drift]

You can sure but they can also headbutt you or bite

[scenic herald]

This cat train jump scared me

[placid mesa]

Yes, you can always pet them

[buoyant pollen]

It is fun to watch them chase the people with their hands full of crackers

[north patio]

Just don't kick them or we'll all get blamed

[placid mesa]

It's fun to watch people get headbutted

But yeah, they'll be around, there will be people selling biscuits to feed them and you can walk up to them and pet them etc. They'll be all over

[frozen cove]

Anyone want dinner rn? In Shinjuku area but open to meeting at Shibuya instead

[north patio]

That was the plan, I rocked up early to get us a table etc but slight snag

Been fully booked up for a work do. So ran across to the other place with pools and they've been booked for a function too...

We can go for drinks elsewhere for a couple of hours then head over for pool

Trying one more spot that has billiards but we'll see in a few mins...

[buoyant pollen]

LOL k this makes more sense. I might ditch some bulk I collect during my trip if you want it. Last year I took it all home for no reason

[placid mesa]

Heading to Aki when I've finished my drink

[north patio]

I had that for the first time the other day, it's dangerously non-alcoholic tasting

You all paid 7200 each btw?

[calm drift]

Unlikely sounds too high for anything

[cyan rune]

Yeah it was too high.. Maybe they took some premium option with unlimited food, but I'm vegan so I can't eat anything 😅

[calm drift]

Per person is too high even with unlimited drink. Maybe it's for the whole group

Shinjuku , Shibuya New Years eve unlimited drink right infront of 109 was 4k per person

[cyan rune]

Maybe it was for the whole group, the guy at the counter wanted me to pay that at the counter so idk what was that

[vocal mirage]

[lime sky]
