[polar cargo]

hows the airbnb’s in japan? any experience on them? hopefully good ones >.>?

[young oracle]

Not the wild west days when I rented a place in Vienna from a hairdresser for a week because she was traveling and I was feeding her cats

[left rampart]

Gotta read the fine print

[young oracle]

They were cute cats though

[polar cargo]

and you get a pet for free?? thats a win, unless too many cats

[idle flax]

I do hear about people pet sitting and getting cheap/free accommodations when traveling 👀

[polar cargo]

i’m going to get breakfast in akihabara any suggestions? not 7/11 please

[misty lava]

Family Mart

[polar cargo]

….

😔

[misty lava]

Pizza buns are fire

[idle flax]

If its your first time in japan, definitely go to any gyudon place

[left rampart]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/8Btxmv31DV2pXJk19?g_st=ipc

Scratch that. Go with Kate’s suggestion. Go here for lunch/dinner when you want options

[polar cargo]

yea this is my second day, i’ll go with whatever is closer first

[misty lava]

Ichiran

[polar cargo]

i got 10 days so i’ll def try as much as i can

[torn lotus]

Don’t know Asakusa but if you’re willing to head west a bit to Ueno there’s some Kissaten / cafes

https://maps.app.goo.gl/sVhD9cX25SJNDfRt7?g_st=ipc

I couldn’t go to this place, but it’s supposed to be good with interesting decor

I went to this one nearby
Run by a couple

https://maps.app.goo.gl/2e8mW6yoer4UFoVV6?g_st=ipc

Oh wait I misread Akihabara whoops
I guess same difference, just head north a bit

https://maps.app.goo.gl/CSbvi3PxVsuumVwk8?g_st=ipc

this is close to Akihabara, but unfortunately they look closed today

[misty lava]

@idle flax are you out drawing?

[idle flax]

I’m in, drawing 😔✊

Aka casual sketching in my hotel, starting the day kinda slow

[misty lava]

Ooo lol I miss read your message about the Cafe. I thought you were at one 😆

[idle flax]

No no I was saying I could join

[misty lava]

Yah that makes sense lol. I quickly read it as we could join xD

[idle flax]

I mean, I could also pick a cafe & tell its open invite for everyone. Might just do that in a bit

[young oracle]

Go for it

[misty lava]

If you do let me know~
Im judt heading to drop off luggage will then need to kill time until check in

[idle flax]

I’m also happy to let people see into my soul flip through my sketchbook

[misty lava]

[idle flax]

Sounds good, mb in an hour?

[misty lava]

Sure!

[young oracle]

I might be able to make it as well gotta see my Airbnb policy on early check in or dropping my luggage

[misty lava]

@warm shard you awake?

[analog plover]

anyone going to be in osaka tonight and down to meet up?

[misty lava]

Its an OsaNah from me.

Sorry. This is a boring long cab ride 😅

[lucid sable]

Damn, we were out so late last night I forgot I was supposed to go to teamlabs today and slept through my reservation

[warm shard]

Im up

[idle flax]

Nooooo 😭😭

I havent been to teamlabs before so if tickets are not super booked id be happy to join someone

[misty lava]

Whats teamlabs

[lucid sable]

Its a digital art museum, cool optical illusions

[misty lava]

Ooo

[warm shard]

Its really cool!

[young oracle]

If you're not too late they might still let you in... Whether it's worth it to try depends how far it is

I think they just opened a new one right? Or was that in Osaka

[lucid sable]

Its like 45 mins away and I literally just woke up, I dont think I'll make it

Supposed to start at 9, it was the first one so I think it would be on time too

[misty lava]

@warm shard @lucid sable
You guys wanna come to a cafe or something?

[warm shard]

For coffee/breakfast?

[lucid sable]

Ill come hang out for a bit, nothing else to do now and I would love breakfast

[misty lava]

Beer and dinner

[young oracle]

Oh wait I was thinking the new one in Kyoto that opened 2 weeks ago

[warm shard]

Ill get ready, still need to shower etc

[young oracle]

I did the borderless one by Tokyo Tower and it was better than expected. Didn't try the planets one in odaiba

[misty lava]

All good. No place set yet

[sour tree]

@misty lava if you go to a cafe lmk, I might drop by to say hi! Probably gonna grab breakfast somewhere now

[misty lava]

Hai

[idle flax]

High tea mb? https://maps.app.goo.gl/6QzQEA6tPzR6jbMx7?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

[cobalt tide]

I was looking into tickets, generally only have evenings available if same day booking

[misty lava]

@idle flax what areaish sre you in?

Peeps can start migrating

[idle flax]

No idea how much it costs but prolly on the higher side

So I’m closest to shinjuku. But also close to imperial palace

Minato city is also right next to me

We could also get takeout(not from conbini) and go to a park. Gives flexibility to day drink too

[rare acorn]

I'm in roppongi and down to hang

[idle flax]

Although idk how all of you late-nighters feel after yesterday 😂 Or if anyone sworn off alcohol after that night

[misty lava]

I can start heading towards shinjuku

[idle flax]

Ooo I’m right next to it

[rare acorn]

Are you free soon? I'm getting ready to head outside's

[idle flax]

I can get ready pretty quick. Do need to find a spot, preferably with comfy chairs

Are you looking for breakfast/tea/or drinks?

[rare acorn]

Yeah I'm not sure yet either but down

[idle flax]

Gimme a sec, will check options

https://maps.app.goo.gl/WaoJ4VTnbpreHFxy7?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy This one has one really nice both for several people, and the rest of the seating is ok(not best but at least not a stand up cafe I saw a bit ago 💀)

Same here, one nice/comfy seating area and everything is eh alright https://maps.app.goo.gl/yiS83hqSYAR8QNeP6?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

Two couches on this 3rd cafe 👀

[rare acorn]

Oo

I'm down for lounging on couches

[misty lava]

Lmao those are far. Which should I head to?

[idle flax]

Is this one closer? https://maps.app.goo.gl/nTJNHPm3sYGpYrb9A?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

[young oracle]

Anything is good for me I'm traveling across the city anyway 😀

[misty lava]

They are all about 40 minutes

Im at mikawashima station

[young oracle]

I think I'll probably stop over with my luggage because I'm already Hubert l hungry

[rare acorn]

Is the last one fluffy pancakes??

[idle flax]

Misleading but no

[rare acorn]

And they're all about the same i think

In distance

Not too far

[idle flax]

I do know one with fluffy pancakes! I would dig into some fr

[rare acorn]

Word?

[young oracle]

My vote is koalas because koalas

[idle flax]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/pc3uaK3FSkRzqD8N9?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

Seems like sitting is nice too

[sour tree]

Just a warning, there was a waiting time of like two hours when I went there yesterday

[idle flax]

Ive also been to this chain and enjoyed their fluffy pancakes. But its on a cheaper side. Nice seating too https://maps.app.goo.gl/eDdwnXRpLv7X5kxq8?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

[sour tree]

Might be easier today tho

[idle flax]

Oh lol

[idle flax]

Okay anyone AGAINST couches and koalas

[misty lava]

Im gonna wait until we have a rough idea of the place lol. I'll definitely get on the wrong train haha

[idle flax]

Good idea

Koalas has no pancakes

[young oracle]

Haha I'm already on the train and I'm just, it's going east good enough

Going west I mean

[idle flax]

Yup. Shoot for rappongi and can rearrange if needed

[rare acorn]

No pancakes?!

[young oracle]

I do feel roppongi is only second to Shibuya for cute cafes so you can probably stroll around the corner and find pancakes

[idle flax]

Alright strong preference for pancakes is what I’m hearing

[misty lava]

Rappongi station?.

[sour tree]

I am gonna go to "rainbow pancakes" with a friend, not sure how the seating situation is there though. Can let you know once I am there

[idle flax]

My preference I think in that case is https://maps.app.goo.gl/5cRn9tRJBLw6ZxMbA?g_st=com.google.maps.preview.copy

Please react w thumbs down if you down

Or wait with thumbs up

[rare acorn]

O

[idle flax]

Just any emoji 😂

[rare acorn]

Too late

[misty lava]

Im down for anytging that gets me off this platform lol

[torn lotus]

I feel Yanesen (Yanaka Nezu and Sendagi) is good for cafes too
Also Jimbocho is solid

[idle flax]

I’m giving yall 2 minutes to veto it or I’ll be omw

[misty lava]

Im heading to this one

[idle flax]

We are are now in executive decision mode, brainstorming can be saved for future cafe visits 🙂‍↕️

Neat. Lets get some of em fluffy ‘cakes

[warm shard]

Its gonna take me 50 min to get there, see you all in a bit!

[misty lava]

Im at 40 haha

Might cab xD

Im gonna see how packed the train looks

[idle flax]

No need to rush, will take me 18min train

[young oracle]

Trains pretty empty, Sunday morning relaxation

[idle flax]

neat

[rare acorn]

30 min for me

[torn lotus]

Not to derail your convo, but there’s a happy pancake in Ginza too

And Ikebukuro

[misty lava]

Guess ill stand

[torn lotus]

I wouldn’t do the happy pancake on Shibuya that one usually gets slammed

[idle flax]

We can play it by ear if thats the case

Lets just show up in a singular location, and from there see how things go

[rare acorn]

My eta is 1010

[idle flax]

Mine is 10-ish, couple minutes past

[young oracle]

Having to figure out navigation by the actual subway maps because too deep in the earth

Looks like I'm turning around two stops and just taking the ginza line down, eta 10:15

That's a zero tech estimate though

[warm shard]

Just scootch right behind him

Take over the bench

[tawdry chasm]

Hello all, I just found this discord. I’m having breakfast already in Tsukiji but am down to meander and eat later in the day. Im here to pretty much eat nonstop lol

[rare acorn]

Walking over

[idle flax]

3min away

[warm shard]

Got another 20 to go

[idle flax]

There is a bit of a line, investigatinng

I put 6 yolo

[idle flax]

Entire possible wait time is around this time anyway lol

[young oracle]

One more stop on my train then I'm making the walk over

[warm shard]

You guys inside?

[misty lava]

Yes

Come in

Quock

Quock

Quack

[dark frigate]

Is there still space for one more?

[warm shard]

Uuuuuh, think it might be tough

[misty lava]

I dont think they would let another sit

[dark frigate]

Kk, then I'll continue on with my plans then!

[misty lava]

You feeling better?

[dark frigate]

Not perfect, but much better

I feel alone at least

Alive*

[compact hatch]

[dark frigate]

[boreal apex]

Anybody in Fukuoka? Will be there from tonight to the 26th

[plush furnace]

Will anyone being going to the Nyan Fes thing mentioned earlier?

[twilit vigil]

I might, but I'll probably decide spontaneously

[dry cairn]

Anyone in kawagoe for the festival?

[sour tree]

I am thinking about going there in like 1-2 hours. Are you there atm?

[dry cairn]

Taking the train now, should be there in an hour or so?

[sour tree]

I can message you once I am done with nerd stuff in Akihabara :)

[tawdry chasm]

Anyone interested in Yakiniku for dinner?

[keen basin]

If you say no you hate me

[warm shard]

Damn man, thats just coercion

[misty lava]

Yah

[warm shard]

[misty lava]

Pinch of blackmail

Hell ya

[idle flax]

When do both end btw?

[misty lava]

I honestly have no idea

[idle flax]

If its before 7pm I can prolly make it

[misty lava]

Probably like 7ish for me maybe

Youre busy after 7?

[warm shard]

We end at 6ish

[median vapor]

Noted but not today

[misty lava]

[median vapor]

[misty lava]

Yessir

[median vapor]

[misty lava]

Lmao

[median vapor]

I’d be down but not alone thats for sure

[misty lava]

We attacked 2 helping last night 30 lbs of noods

[median vapor]

I like the way you talk

“We attacked”

Dude was on a mission

[young oracle]

Don't pretend we finished the mission, the yakisoba ended everyone

[left rampart]

How were the fluffy pancakes? Worth the trip?

[cobalt tide]

Absolutely worth it for me!

[left rampart]

Gonna go check out the Oedo antique market and walk around the area before dinner if anyone wants to join

[wanton scroll]

Any recommendations for restaurants for solo dining? I know there's Ichiran, but has anyone already experienced some good places like this in Tokyo?

[eternal drum]

whuzgood

[young oracle]

Pretty much any noodle place or tonkatsu or gyudon is primarily solo diners to begin with

[eternal drum]

i gave birth to a karaage baby

[wanton scroll]

Was hoping to find more variety like BBQ/yakiniku/sushi/etc I love places that just have a tablet where you order and the food comes to you 😂

[eternal drum]

https://www.yakiniku-like.com/

Yakiniku Like is pretty much anywhere, you can also eat alone as they offer solo booths lol

[young pendant]

In Kyoto until Thursday if anyone else is here as well

[eternal drum]

god i don't have anything to do

im willing to do anything with anyone at this point

[willow canopy]

i'm down to hang once I arrive on tuesday

[tame cedar]

I’m just doing laundry in shibuya and then need to grab food haha

[feral lotus]

same now I’m getting a tattoo

[eternal drum]

i might eat out. does anyone have plans for dinner?

[sly nova]

Is this good??

[eternal drum]

i don't know, are you donut?

-# there's a line forming so i guess?..

[tame cedar]

The line was that long yesterday too. Seems popular

[sly nova]

I'm in the line 💩

I guess if there is a line.. it's gonna be good...

[warm shard]

If you're into manga/anime there's a really cool art gallery thing next to it on the 4th floor!

Has some original cells and limited reproductions

[inner loom]

I got nothing planned tonight, though I just ate a big late lunch.

[median vapor]

I’ll be looking for a place to eat at hoppy street if anyone wants to come along

Hopefully not only searching but eating as well

[misty lava]

@warm shard sre you hitting the second board games

[cobalt tide]

I’ll be there Tuesday!

[novel rock]

Hii, I'm Amal, 34F. I'll be in Tokyo 23rd-26th October. Then to Kanazawa, and back in Tokyo on 29th till 1st Nov.

I'm into gachapon hunting, shopping, food hunting, andd definitely wanna visit a jazz bar! Thinking of day trip to Kamakura too.

If anyone's up to hit a Jazz bar either 23rd or 24th Oct, lmk!

[dark frigate]

Sure man! Good luck in the tournament!

[willow canopy]

we should meet up for this! https://asagayajazzstreets.com/about/

I'm also down for a jazz bar, but that's during the day

@unkempt kernel

Is anyone planning to be in Shibuya Wednesday night? I'll be settled in by ~8-9pm

[misty lava]

Likely a ShibuYEAH for me

[misty lava]

Thank you!!

[novel rock]

Tough to commit during the day for me. Planning to go shimokita! If you're down for Alfie at Ropponggi, we could reserve spot. Or just play by ear and hit up Spot Intro since it is cheaper without the cover charge

[willow canopy]

Alfie looks nice! Wednesday night is a bit tough to give an exact time for a reservation in case it takes a long time to leave the airport unless it's past 9:30pm or so. The next day my friend is flying in ~4pm so we could do that evening too

[novel rock]

Let's do that! I'll dm you and can set a group after to see any more joining!

[warm shard]

Not sure yet

But most likely

[cobalt tide]

I’m in the Akihabara area if anyone wants to get food/drink

[sly nova]

I'm omw to Akihabara but I need to shop first

[idle flax]

Just tried "japanese stylrd fried chicken" from 7/11 and ooo this is nice

[left rampart]

Convenience store fried chicken is crazy good. Check out the other fried chicken from other convenience stores. Personally I’m team famichicki (family mart)

[idle flax]

Also down to hangout/get drinks. Ended up having a nap midday so might stay up longer

[willow canopy]

I lost my mind the first time I tried that at lawson's 😂

[idle flax]

Its so juicy & full of flavor. I didnt look at the price but its probably $1-is innit

[left rampart]

https://tenor.com/view/uncle-roger-king-of-flavour-gif-18146501

[soft lion]

Hey does anyone happen to be near or at the Haneda airport?

Im kind of lost, can't leave or I lose access to wifi😭

[exotic loom]

Preload your destination on Google maps

[sly nova]

Airport have free wifi

[exotic loom]

Theres probably sim/esim sellers at the airport to get data

[idle flax]

Do you have esim? Setting up local data(takes 5min) would also reduce anxiety as you try to leave the airport

[soft lion]

I bought the esim with unlimited data but once I disconnect from airport wifi I cant access any apps

[final musk]

anything going on in tokyo tonitr

or am I on my own?

going to check in to my hotel in shin okubo soon

[exotic loom]

Depends on your phone, but you may or may not need to enable data roaming

[idle flax]

Did you switch to the esim in the settings? I forgot to switch from my old sim in the past

[exotic loom]

My Google Pixel didn't need it enabled but my s25 did

[soft lion]

Ill check again

[idle flax]

Just know you'll be alright and will figure it out! We've got your back

[soft lion]

Thanks, I appreciate it
Im here alone and I actually dont even have a suitcase lol

Im going outside to test the data roaming

[final musk]

data roaming on does rhe trick

[exotic loom]

You can just disconnect from the WiFi to test. It should work within the airport

[final musk]

Just ensure you set your primary Sim to the esim

[soft lion]

Omg its working

Thank you so much

[idle flax]

You did it!

Good luck on the way here

[finite raptor]

It’s so fire

7/11 has the best plain one but family marts spicy one is goat

[young oracle]

Since I've stayed over my initial month I definitely have to buy another esim

[wicked flame]

Heading to Yebisu brewery later with my buddy for a more relaxed evening (than last night) around 7:30 if anyone wants to chill

[idle flax]

It closes at 7pm 👀

[wicked flame]

Oh whoops time to find something else lol

[willow canopy]

this is not too far, it's one place I want to check out
https://maps.app.goo.gl/9Si4CJ6FrZrmNGMY8

[warm shard]

@misty lava we just finished, whats your plan?

[wicked flame]

Bet okay new plan

[idle flax]

How often is soju or plum wine is available at izakayas, anyone noticed?

[willow canopy]

Not at all of them for sure, you would want to try to check if it's available prior

highballs and beer are the only certainties lol

[idle flax]

Yeah 😭

[willow canopy]

There's an incredible plum wine I tried in an ice cream shop in Kyoto

http://tsuru-ume.com/introduce.html

[finite raptor]

Plum wine definitely

[exotic loom]

[young oracle]

Think I'm going to get some monjayaki but I'm down for drinks afterwards

[final musk]

my date for tomorrow is confirmed so I cant get hammered but im down for some drinks

im near atom

[lucid sable]

Teamlabs planets was definitely worth it for me, it took a bit to get there but it was an awesome experience

[young oracle]

She's just making sure she's ready for another ten shots

I'm just going to the restaurant floor of Shinjuku Scrabble square

[lucid sable]

Are you drinking afterwards?

[young oracle]

That's the plan

You should meet up with @final musk first

And maybe @sly nova

[lucid sable]

That sounds like a good plan, gonna grab something quick to eat first

[young oracle]

I'd say you could join me here at monjayaki but last order is literally in 30 seconds

[lucid sable]

All good I am really craving that sweet sweet chicken from family mart

[young oracle]

Although I think I might have ordered enough food for 3 people

So if anyone wants to come up you might just stop food from being wasted

[lucid sable]

Eating good

[final musk]

alright

sorry im here

i feel like a tout just standing here.with my phone so im willing to go wherever

[lucid sable]

Im a little bit away from shinjuku, im gonna quickly grab some family mart chicken and then grab my power bank if you wanna hang out @final musk

[final musk]

[misty lava]

That will depend on the other kiddos

When are you busy and why do you hate Canadians

[final musk]

I wish there was a bar open early that showed the baseball game

[lilac pine]

Anyone wanna check out gotokuji temple tomorrow?

And/or samurai museum

[dreamy pecan]

[slow blaze]

We can organize something tomorrow

😅

[keen basin]

I'm up for lunch

[misty lava]

Its bed time. You shouldn't be up at all

[keen basin]

Bedtime for you maybe.

[misty lava]

Youre nit my mom

[warm shard]

He's not?

[slow blaze]

We're the owl army.

[misty lava]

What he said

Unless what he is saying isn't on my side. Then not what he says

[slow blaze]

Wut?

You lost me

[misty lava]

Are.you on my side or Aureys

[slow blaze]

On your side, of course

Always

[misty lava]

What he said

[slow blaze]

Nobody sets me or my guys bedtime

[misty lava]

Thatscrught

Right

Im atarting to think its my bed time snd I should sleep off this vodka

[slow blaze]

Dont let alcohol decide when it's your bedtime

[slow blaze]

That sounds like a chaucerian word

[misty lava]

Chaucerian?

You know whag demon corn, I like your funny words

[slow blaze]

And this isn't even my lenguage

Hahahaha, demon corn it's even better than my nickname

[lucid sable]

The strong zeroes are hitting tonight

The Nigerian touts amd old Asian women are harassing me in force tonight

[slow blaze]

Embrace the old asian women

They are bearing of knowledge

[misty lava]

Daijobu daijobu

[slow blaze]

Daijobu desu ka?

Ksmpaiii

[lucid sable]

Is this like a lime version? I grabbed it by accident but its great

[scenic trout]

Grapefruit

[lucid sable]

Its tasty!

[slow blaze]

Like in ww2, the zeroes are hitting hard

[idle flax]

Anything happening rn? I’m awake earlier than usual today

[idle flax]

Id be down, been a couple ramen-less days now

[slow blaze]

Im staying in mejiro, I'm up to some not so early morning ramen

[idle flax]

A bit too far for me without the trains 😭 2hr walk

[slow blaze]

I can take some trains, hahah

[idle flax]

Wdym?? They are not running until 4am

Or did you mean grabbing ramen later in the day

[slow blaze]

Exactly, later in the day, im heading to bed

But some 10 am ramen wouldn't be a bad way to start the day

[left rampart]

I thought I was the only one with the wacky sleep schedule. Dead of night/early morning Tokyo is pretty great

[left rampart]

Definitely try morning sushi. Best way to start your day imo. Has anyone been to the Toyosu tuna auction at 5/6am? Not sure if it’s worth going now that it’s no longer at tsukiji

[final musk]

shit I somehow lost my ic card tonight. where can I get a new one?

[scenic trout]

Suica - all JR East stations - at ticket machines or counter

But really - just check the ticket machines around - a Suica or Pasmo may be available

[left rampart]

Grabbing food if you wanna come. Currently around azabu/roppongi. all the ramen talk made me hungry lol

[polar cargo]

there is ramen open at this time?

[left rampart]

I wasn’t thinking ramen, but yah there’s a good amount of things open depending on where you are. If you’re in the area and hungry hmu

[polar cargo]

I’m in Akihabara am i close? 😅 @left rampart

[left rampart]

Sadly no, 1:30h ish walk. Once the trains start running it’ll take 40-50 min. Are you looking for somewhere to eat? A lot of places I think close at 5 and idk Akiba well but I can look up some places up for you

[torn lotus]

I think there's some soba spots open 24/7

[polar cargo]

well its 6 am now, i just went to family mart to get something for my hangover and something small to eat

[torn lotus]

Nikko today is like silent hill
I can’t see shit

So much fog

[young oracle]

That reminds me how my otaku masseuse was chatting to me about how she went to go see the Japanese town silent hill f was based on

[void light]

I had the same experience on top of a mountain in Minamifurano back in 2024. 😆

[idle flax]

My next accom will be in Shinjuku starting today btw, so its easier to access any gatherings in that area (or shibuya) ✨

[dark frigate]

So where should we meet to have that ramen?

[idle flax]

When are you thinking, right now ish?

I'll be spending some time at this cafe in case anyone wants to join! (photos for quick access of types of food & general vibes of the place) https://maps.app.goo.gl/PKh4JDeMt7SQyCXN8

My plan is to draw so thats easily 3-4 hrs for me. Wouldn't mind chatting while drawing :Р

[misty lava]

@idle flax @dark frigate @warm shard

How close is everyone to Ueno?

[idle flax]

Okay-ish, 30min train

[dark frigate]

Same

[misty lava]

Im going to look at all the locations quick

What about Asakusa?

If i remember, Nick is basically staying on the moon

[idle flax]

40min

[misty lava]

Oh haha

[dark frigate]

Same again xD

[misty lava]

Minato City?

[dark frigate]

When do you want to meet up? I'm on the hunt for some souvenirs so having a time would let me organise myself

[idle flax]

I’m flexible but also would prefer 1hr+ from rn

[misty lava]

I can head out whenever really.

[idle flax]

You can always join me at the cafe

[misty lava]

Could say maybe 11?

Which cafe?

[idle flax]

This one

[misty lava]

Ooo thats far xD
I think it would be 11 by the time I showered and got there haha

[warm shard]

Ok having a lazy morning just woke up

[misty lava]

Me too lol

Kinda forgot where I was

Is this one more central to everyone

https://maps.app.goo.gl/TTop23SGFNFotwkk6

[warm shard]

Im at asakusa, ueno is like 15min

[lucid sable]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-cute-follow-me-gif-4273618567139914195

[warm shard]

yeah doable 30 min for me

[lucid sable]

Idk how im waking up this early after being up all night

[tawdry chasm]

Anyone in Kyoto for the rest of the week?

[lucid sable]

11 am here? Can I come?

[misty lava]

Didn't you have morning plans?

[lucid sable]

I have afternoon plans

[misty lava]

Ah

[dark frigate]

I'm 3 min away rn xD

[misty lava]

Oh damn lol

[idle flax]

25min for me so its okay

[misty lava]

@lucid sable
You can join. Ichiran isn't a group table. Its bar style beside each other

[lucid sable]

Oh cool, I haven't been yet but it sounds great from what I was reading

Its 30 mins away for me, I will be there

[idle flax]

Do they have clear broths? I found I like clear broth ramen more, like lightweight but salty

[misty lava]

Alright.

Meet at Shinbashi station around 11?

[misty lava]

I would call it clear

You also get to tweak your preferences

[idle flax]

Mb 11:30?

[misty lava]

Fine with me

[idle flax]

Ohh I might have visited this place at sapporo

[misty lava]

Theres a million

[lucid sable]

11:30 is cool with me, I dont mean to dine and dash on you guys but I will have to leave at 12:15 though

[misty lava]

Theres pretty good chance there might be a wait before we get to seat

[dark frigate]

Anyone knows where I can find some good matcha in Tokyo?

[warm shard]

Ok dragging myself out of bed now🫡

[misty lava]

Trying the shipping channel in the discord. Some locals may have some good places

[dark frigate]

Thx!

[ruby cedar]

Is anyone meeting in Ueno now/soon or is everyone meeting at Ichiran in Shimbashi at 11:30?

[warm shard]

Think everyone is meeting at 11:30

[ruby cedar]

I’m going to miss this one then.

[keen basin]

I'm going to be about 15 minutes late. Just woke up.

[willow canopy]

Is anyone interested in going camera shopping? I'm on the lookout for a couple specific things. There's great camera shops near Tokyo with a super good second hand selection. That + the tax free can get you some awesome gear for $100s less than in the US

I'm aiming to go wednesday morning/afternoon

Also down to grab lunch / coffee in the morning
I really want to check this place out: https://maps.app.goo.gl/oSJtB9n97rCjTkh36
Either that or GLITCH

[idle flax]

Running late as well

[misty lava]

Im perfectly on schedule.. I think

[lucid sable]

Planned to be there 10 mins early.. might be 2 minutes late lol

[warm shard]

I'll be chilling outside next to a big locomotive, black pants and backpack, beige shirt

[misty lava]

Like an old train?

[misty lava]

Looks tiny

Put max next to it

[warm shard]

That's what she said

[tame cedar]

I’m in Kyoto until the 23rd

[finite raptor]

Shimbashi?

[idle flax]

Eta ;47

[lucid sable]

Any idea what exit at shimbashi?

[idle flax]

North

Oh wait I’m taking a bus lol

[willow canopy]

I'm doing this Monday the 27th if anyone's interested:
https://ichioku.net/

[misty lava]

Hibiya

Exot

[hollow egret]

Yooooo could you provide a location for these camera shops : ) am very interested!!!

Happy to tag along with you as well if you haven't gone already!

(my wallet is trembling)

[idle flax]

2min away from 🍜

[misty lava]

Ichiran or the station?!

[idle flax]

Ichiran

[willow canopy]

I’m not in Japan yet so I definitely haven’t! I’m aiming for Thursday morning/afternoon. Map camera in Shinjuku is my main target and there’s some others nearby

[idle flax]

So hungry

Please head to ramen yall 😭

[misty lava]

We are waiting on auri still

[hollow egret]

Sweeeet, okay, unfortunately I am landing in 2 hours but working this week but ty for the info lmk what haul you get and how it's looking!

I will try to check it out Friday evening or Saturday

[misty lava]

He just walked up

[willow canopy]

I’ll scope things out, are you looking for anything in particular?

[idle flax]

Cool waiting in front of ichiran

[willow canopy]

I’m not in a super rush to buy stuff, mainly gearing up for some hiking shoots I’ll do later

[idle flax]

Wildlife or views?

[willow canopy]

both! But I’m not getting a very intense zoom lens for birds or anything like that

[hollow egret]

Nah dude I'm just dipping my toes in the water for photography! I'm by no means an expert or even good, just like photography! Would love some insight from you too

Maybe catch a drink or meet up at an izakaya

I'm also here till November 5th so down to meet anyone till then. My plans RN are literally forming as I get info lol. Tokyo till Sunday then training to Osaka

[willow canopy]

Yeah for sure. I’m not a pro but we can walk around the store and I’ll share what I know

[lucid sable]

Yo we got her3 qt a perfect time. It is literally lined up down the stairs now

[pliant galleon]

Does anyone know what kind of events are happening for Halloween?

[hollow egret]

There's a bar crawl I think maybe somewhere in this server

[feral lotus]

https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1424911158535786496

[hollow egret]

Oh hey I'm going to that one : )

[cobalt tide]

Same here!

[hollow egret]

Noooo, everyone is leaving Kyoto/Osaka when I go there 😭

Is the move to stay in Tokyo for the entire 2.5 weeks

[torn lotus]

This chat is definitely Tokyo centric

Some of us will be around Osaka near end of October/ Halloween timeframe

[hollow egret]

Interesting I was gonna come back to Tokyo for Halloween 😲

[willow canopy]

I will be in Osaka after 11/1
I couldn’t decide between shibuya or Osaka for Halloween day, so I compromised for halloween saturday

Then I’ll go to Kyoto for a couple days, return to Osaka, fly to Sapporo, fly to Seoul, back to Tokyo

[icy trench]

I'm in Kyoto until Thursday

[young pendant]

Same!

Should we start a Kyoto thread?

[icy trench]

Yes!

I saw there's a Kyoto nightlife thread

[young pendant]

https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1429687032669540483

Yeah we can keep that one around for bars and clubs and stufd

Created the above one for non nightlife

[elder coral]

Both that mameya and most glitches in Tokyo will have crazy lines beware

[willow canopy]

I went to several glitch locations very frequently last trip, it was fine

Mameya does seem like it’ll take a while since they take groups of 3

[misty lava]

Ya we saw haha. Somehow dodged 5 people haha

[elder coral]

Ah I’ve only ever walked by and not bothered in Tokyo

[willow canopy]

It’s amazing

[elder coral]

Friend said there’s one that’s always pretty quiet tho, I think jimbocho

I went in Nagoya

Are you doing any coffee omakase?

[willow canopy]

That was my hope with Mameya

If you know of any others and want to do one I would join

[elder coral]

I’m doing cokuun on the 25th

Its expensive lol but I can see if I can add you to my reso

[willow canopy]

If you can I’m down, I’ll be there

assuming some time before noon?

[elder coral]

9:30

https://www.tablecheck.com/en/shops/cokuun/reserve

you might be able to just make a separate reso actually

Looks like it’s still available in my time slot

[willow canopy]

Booked 💯

Those coffee cups look incredible but no way I’m paying $120 for them

[elder coral]

LOL yeah

I’m gonna buy the same cups glitch uses this trip

I think 2k yen

[willow canopy]

That’s much more reasonable 🤣

[elder coral]

Also recommend lonich coffee omakase if you can book it

It’s really reasonable

Only 4K for 4 drinks when I went

[willow canopy]

Nice, thanks for the tip

I was going to book the 9:30 slot for my friend as well but it was the last one it seems

I think he’s more of a 4k jpy coffee guy anyway lol

[elder coral]

Yeah it’s a hard sell for most people lol

[oak hinge]

In to gamedev, if any other indie gamedev, would be nice to connect! 🎮 Tokyo

[willow canopy]

I’m not a game dev but I’m a swe that has dabbled in it

[elder coral]

I did level design professionally if that counts hehe

[sour elk]

Small worlds is soooo good

Highly recommend

[idle flax]

A group of people are seeing an exclusive Muscle Mummy show, and then there’s a karaoke at some point I think

🫡

I’m trying so hard not to sleep on train

[warm shard]

Rip @keen basin on the first

[dreamy pecan]

In what part of town will you be?

[young oracle]

I'm now associating you with sitting on the grass

[icy meadow]

They sell strong zeros inside the airport and i still have 600 yen 👀

Good way to close a japan trip

[feral lotus]

Good to know, I’m flying delta next week and their seats are ass

[crisp quiver]

Im down! I need to get an extra SD card and bic is too expensive

[idle flax]

Honestly not a bad way to go

[idle flax]

There ya go

[young pendant]

Omg I wish

[barren moth]

is this osaka

[idle flax]

I’m still boozy 😭 navigating public transport and logistics when under influence is always an experience lol

[young oracle]

Just randomly spawning people in photos

[idle flax]

Nope, tokyo

[patent valve]

Anyone doing anything tonight?

[vital comet]

#1337071523751530598 message

[ruby cedar]

Kate & co are going to a muscle mummy exclusive event, then possibly karaoke later in the evening. Not sure the timing or area.

Habo & co have that music thing tonight at 19:00

I'm about to grab dinner somewhere if anyone wants to grab food.

[patent valve]

I don't think I qualify as a muscle mommy

[ruby cedar]

Want to meetup for dinner?

[patent valve]

I'm down, then maybe connect with kates group? Sounds like they'll probably be at the cafe soon which is too soon for me

I gotta charge then head out, so maybe 45 mins till shibuya

@idle flax hows it going

Id be down for muscle mommy if it's in at least that time

[torn lotus]

Where my Nikko homies at?

[ruby cedar]

Sounds good. Meet at Shibuya Station at 6:30?

[idle flax]

I wish i had tickets to that tbh but it was sold out so just the co went

[rare acorn]

What's fluffy pancake crew up to?

[idle flax]

I’m still not sober, just laying down a lil

[main leaf]

Will be in fukuoka as of the 27th and staying there for a week

[rare acorn]

Last night. Heading back to shinjuku from hokone

[idle flax]

Ikebukuro is close to me so 50% chance I’ll join karaoke for an hour or so

They do plan to go all night on that

As in no sleep

[lilac pine]

So whats the move tonight? Id be down to join this karaoke if a new face is welcome

Is it in ikebukuro?

That’s where I’m staying so even better

[idle flax]

That I’m not sure, they should be online around 6;30p

[patent valve]

Ahh maybe 6:45 more like, if that'd okay

@idle flax is your group ikebukuro tonight then?

Anyone else wanna join us for dinner in Shibuya?

Then this karaoke or similar plan

[ruby cedar]

If Kate's group is in ikebukuro, maybe we change the dinner venu to Ikebukuro? That's where I'm based too

[patent valve]

I support this policy

[misty lava]

Boarded the wrong platfrom again on a rapid lol. I turned a 30 minute venture into almost 2 hours

[reef pumice]

If anyone is free tomorrow night I’d love to meet up and go out fit drinks or something! Sounds like a full house tonight and don’t want to impede!

[ruby cedar]

Looks like a couple of us are meeting for dinner in Ikebukuro & then heading over to the karaoke group (assuming there's room / we get the okay - lol) if you want to meetup with us in Ikebukuro for dinner first.

[ruby cedar]

Sweet. I'm close to Ikebukuro station, so just give me a headsup when you start to head this way.

[slow blaze]

Oh, Ikebukuro? I'm staying in mejiro! Can i tag along?

[ruby cedar]

Absolutely!

[patent valve]

I'm charging up at my place near ebisu, transit time is like 40 mins for ikebukuro, leaving in like 20 mins
I low-key just ate a full ramen 2 hrs ago and I'm feeling full so for me it's a snack and alc

People who wanna eat then do more, group with crane and I if you want soon ! !

[blazing heron]

I should be free tomorrow! I'm in enoshima atm so i cant really join anything atm

[patent valve]

Feel free to eat without me too lol if y'all can meet up in time. but I will be over by 7 or 7:15

[reef pumice]

Ok! Which area will you be in? I’ll be in Shinjuku

[young oracle]

I'm down to eat in ikebukuro I just went grocery shopping for some fruit and I'm about a 15 minutes walk from ikebukuro station

[idle flax]

I love how it became Kates group when I’m not even there 😂

[young oracle]

You're taking the pictures it's your group 😀

[feral lotus]

My hotel is in Ikebukoro, I can limp to karaoke

[patent valve]

Oop. I did this on my way to takao the other day. I went the wrong way. Then hopped on the opposite train but it turned out to be a local vs a rapid and spent sooo much time on it before I realized I was halfway there by my eta time

[ruby cedar]

@slow blaze @lilac pine @young oracle Meet at Ikebukuro Station then? and then @patent valve will sync up with us in an hour or so?

[idle flax]

But yall could always either join existing karaoke meetup or do your own! The world is your oyster ✨

[patent valve]

Haha

[idle flax]

I’m still debating whether to go anywhere or just eep

[young oracle]

@ruby cedar sounds good I'll head out the door soon I'll be there 25 minutes

[patent valve]

Let's all group up after food for more drinks or darts or karaoke

Do y'all think this will actually work
https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMmNHmyM/
Cuz damn my feet do hurt

[slow blaze]

Yeah, around 6:30?

[idle flax]

Ah so I gotta collect em all now lol

[young oracle]

Just start throwing balls at them

[slow blaze]

It's not an easy job being a leader.

[feral lotus]

I’ll swing by

[patent valve]

Gl with food lmk where y'all pic

[polar cargo]

alright i have an important question for anyone who has been or is at an apa hotel

so my trash bin is full

how do i get rid of it

[patent valve]

Out the window

[polar cargo]

😅

[misty lava]

Put a bag outside your room

[polar cargo]

like the big white bag?

[misty lava]

They collect them

I used whatever bag I had on hand

[reef pumice]

Either that or call the front desk…but they will most likely tell you to put it outside the room haha

[polar cargo]

and where do i get another plastic thingy for the bin >.>

[lilac pine]

I ate a p late lunch so I’m not that hungry and need to charge my phone a bit, but lmk where yall go to eat/ after and I’ll join up after u eat!

[reef pumice]

Errrm that I don’t know

[polar cargo]

pain

i’ll try to speak to the front desk with my broken japanese

[misty lava]

There should be more in the bins

[reef pumice]

Haha that’s what I’ve been using 😅

[patent valve]

I miss my OnePlus charging speed, pixel 9 feels like an iphone in comparison

Almost out tho

[rare acorn]

Where can you charge your phone in public?

[young oracle]

I am in the same pain, I went from a 10t that charged to 80% in 8 minutes to a pixel 10 pro which takes like 90 minutrs

[reef pumice]

I’ve been very surprised with how my devices have been! I’ve been basically on the go since 5:30am with maybe an hour back at the hotel (at which point I forgot to even charge anything) and I’m still all good.

[patent valve]

Some McDonald's, and various places have these bins you can lock your phone in, or portable chargers

[reef pumice]

I probably just jinxed myself, tomorrow I’ll walk out the door and it’ll drain to 25%

[young oracle]

I meant to bring the 10t with me as well but I forgot it in my car on the drive to the airport

[patent valve]

I got a 10k mAh battery I take with me in case, it was like 12$ at daiso

But when I go out I leave the backpack and battery at home

[patent valve]

Heavy feel

[young oracle]

I got ripped off in Akihabara for like $25 for a crappy power bank

[patent valve]

It was like taking your ICE car to a gas station, just top up. I never charged overnight, I just plugged my phone in slightly before I go out and I'm good for at least a day

But now the pixel charges in like 1-2 hrs depending on your battery health settings

Pixel still better than OnePlus though :((

The final 50 percent is painstakingly slow

[young oracle]

I used to say charging my phone was an enforced break from screen time. There was no break with the 10t

[patent valve]

66% good enough im leaving soon. Phone says 100% at 7:30, DIE

My pixel 6 charged faster

[blazing heron]

Hmm I'll be in Minato, I'm also going to team labs in the evening i forgot about so if u wanna postpone it or do somethin else that's alright.

[patent valve]

And the charging tech I'm drooling over, was in my phone OnePlus I had 7 years ago lol

[patent valve]

Lolol

Yeah my phone basically never died and I never had to wait for it

Miss it but also don't miss OnePlus

[blazing heron]

I should got a one plus 13, i have a s25 ultra atm but battery is poopoo

[patent valve]

My last OP was a SIX

[lilac pine]

I was planning on going to team labs tmrw! Want a buddy?

[idle flax]

Id be down for team labs tomorrow, havent done it in my previous trips

[young oracle]

Getting near ikebukuro station I'm seeing love hotels

[reef pumice]

Ahhh ok! No worries

[ruby cedar]

Are you on the east or west side?

[young oracle]

West

[feral lotus]

Good old west side

[ruby cedar]

I will head that way

[young oracle]

Every single time I see a salariman being dragged in by a girl in a schoolgirl uniform

[patent valve]

I wonder if it's gonna rain tonight 💀

[reef pumice]

I’d be down to join in on team labs tomorrow if anyone wanted to go

[patent valve]

I'm on my way out but him gonna try that conbini foot hurty drink

Can you get teamlabs same day Tix?

[idle flax]

Foot hurty is best treated by some public bath or onsen!

[young oracle]

Probably not

But 3rd party actually you can

[blazing heron]

Which one? Borderless?

[patent valve]

Yeah I low-key don't believe it, people placebo too much but imma try it cuz it's sour

[reef pumice]

If we had a time we could book on Klook, there seems to be plenty of time spots open tomorrow

Idk about same day tickets but if we had a group that wanted to go we could all just book them tonight

[young oracle]

Yeah next day is no problem

[blazing heron]

My ticket is at 19:30

But I can change to 17:30

[reef pumice]

I’m fine with whatever time if anyone else wanted to go and has a time preference!

[young oracle]

@ruby cedar I was thinking about it and there's actually a coffee place with couches on the east side

[patent valve]

Oo I didn't get charged for the ice coffee ice, because I guess it was obvious I was just using the ice

[ruby cedar]

@patent valve @young oracle @slow blaze I’m at the West Entance (N) outside by the colorful wall. White shirt; bluegrey jacket; blue jeans

[young oracle]

Haha I'll just join you there then

I'm about 2 minutes from you

[slow blaze]

Arriving at Ikebukuro

[feral lotus]

I’m almost there

1 stop away

[slow blaze]

If you see a western guy with a bright pink shirt, its me

[lilac pine]

I’m fine with any time after like 2

[patent valve]

I'm 34 mins out + finding time

[lilac pine]

Lmk where yall end up at!

[feral lotus]

At the station

[patent valve]

Does western guy = white guy

I'm western too then 🥀

[patent valve]

How much is one and is it borderless or planets? Sorry making you do the mental I'm one handed in a packed train

Or I can just look when later 😬

[lilac pine]

Theres two??

[ruby cedar]

We’re at the station about to walk around and find a place. Want us to wait?

[patent valve]

There's more than two but those aren't in Tokyo lol

There's a bio something

I heard borderless Is better?

Fuck I autopiloted to the wrong station

[lucid sable]

I went to planets yesterday and borderless today, I much more enjoyed planets

[patent valve]

I'll be around at 7:30 now

[lilac pine]

Nah I’ll join after yall eat! Have to knock out some work in my hotel 😩

[lucid sable]

Borderless was free roaming, planets felt more guided and easier to see everything

[reef pumice]

I’m guessing borderless since the other one is really far away from everything. They’re $35.09 on Klook

[lilac pine]

Not super far away sounds better to me! If everyone agrees can someone book an extra ticket for me and I’ll venmo/ zelle ya back?

[stable spoke]

Anyone around shinjuku?

[reef pumice]

I’d be fine with that! Who all would want to come and what time? @blazing heron would you be cool with people joining you? I don’t want to assume for you 🤣 what time do you want to do since you have your ticket already

[blazing heron]

Yea I'm fine with it!

My ticket is at 19:30

7:30

[reef pumice]

@lilac pine and @patent valve would y’all be fine for 19:30 tomorrow at borderless?

[lilac pine]

Hell yeah

[patent valve]

Group forming in ikebukuro, close enough lol

[patent valve]

I need an hour to decide lol

[reef pumice]

No worries at all haha

[stable spoke]

Cool, are there more details because I can't find it lol

[reef pumice]

Alright well me, Jonah, and panda are for borderless tomorrow at 19:30. we’re set in stone if anyone else wants to join us!

[finite raptor]

Borderless is way better

[reef pumice]

Borderless doesn’t require no shoes/socks hahaha

Which is a plus for me because I find that odd, just hundreds of barefoot people sloshing around water everywhere

[ruby cedar]

First stop is a bit of a dud; will update when we change venue to a better drinking place

[patent valve]

Jesus Christ saikyo line that was PACKED

I'm at the station
