[upper rock]

Hi?

Anyone wants to go for some drinks at Tokyo this week?

[misty lava]

Tokyo is vague

Unless you actually mean Tokyo tokyo

Then im vague

[upper rock]

Like maybe Akihabara

Hahah

[misty lava]

Surely one of these nerds will be getting sloshed in Akihabara

[elder coral]

Gonna do a Tokyo photography day tomorrow if anyone wants to come along!

[elder coral]

No plans yet hehe

[twilit vigil]

Has anyone here ever been to one of the emo night Tokyo events? If so, is it worth it?

[dim wagon]

Would be up to tag along as I have no real plans for trm but currently only rocking smartphone cam, been only looking to get into photography again

[patent valve]

I made the 2nd to last train home @young oracle and others

[feral lotus]

Almost the buzzer beater

[copper imp]

Finally getting in my plane to Haneda Airport, and then to Akihabara to check out my hotel!

[reef pumice]

Safe travels!

[dark frigate]

I'm on my way home now! I had a great time with all of ya and hope our paths will cross again!

[torn lotus]

Anyone in Matsumoto?

(Looking at the list, the answer is no🙁 )

[tame cedar]

Where my Kyoto people at today?

[elder coral]

@ebon bronze I’m down for pretty much anywhere, grabbing coffee and will probably head to the imperial palace to start, then will probably google photography walk routes lol

[young pendant]

Hanging out with some hostel friends today, I can let you know when I'm done. Still figuring out my plan for the day

[tame cedar]

Same without the hostel friends. Might find some breakfast and walk to a shrine or three to start

[chilly roost]

hey everyone my partner and i landed in tokyo yesterday, looking for some drinking buddies for later today!

[pure junco]

Anyone in Kobe today or Osaka tonight that's meeting up?

[elder coral]

Sure, will ping you when I know where I’m going haha

Where are you atm? I can see if I can find an interesting route near you

[elder coral]

Oh nice, I was planning on going there hehe

I’ll probably aim to be in that area in around an hour

[reef pumice]

What time were y’all planning to meet up? I’m very amateur with photography but do digital and disposable (like to capture in the moment with no way to modify and develop myself) so wouldn’t mind tagging along!

[elder coral]

Sounds like 11ish lol

[reef pumice]

Okay! Is it ok if I ping you guys when I’m closer to Asakusa? Currently in shinjuku at the gardens so very far away lol

[elder coral]

Of course, feel free to add me and dm as that’ll be more noticeable lol

[nova marsh]

Anyone here not drink and want to get together for food

[dim wagon]

Overslept a little bit, omw to asakusa now, but gonna need like 50 min

[elder coral]

No probs at all, I’ll let you know where we end up heading

[upper rock]

Anyone at Shinjuku today?

[oak hinge]

In some hours. Plan to go shibuya and shinjuku. Not evening. Specific place you want to go?

[upper rock]

Just finished the Meji shrines, heading to Takeshita street now

What are your plans?

[elder coral]

I’m in asakusa now, might grab a quick snack then head to Senso ji

[warm shard]

https://tenor.com/view/forest-gump-hello-gif-5534478886269571426

[elder coral]

Insanely busy here hehe dunno why I didn’t expect that

Gonna head up towards the temple anyway tho, happy to meet anywhere here

[dim wagon]

I just arrived at asakusa st, gonna grab sthm to drink then head up to the temple aswell

[lucid sable]

@misty lava do not get the level 10 spice at coco

It is uneatable lol

Idk how 20 would be possible, im sweating at 10

[misty lava]

Youre wild lol

[dim wagon]

Heading to the temple aswell now, should we meet somewhere?

[lucid sable]

Had to give it a shot after we talked about it yesterday

[elder coral]

I’m by the back side of the temple, thinking of heading to hanayashiki once people start showing up

I’m blonde beard guy wearing tan with Fuji camera in case you spot me

[reef pumice]

I’ll be there in about 20

[dim wagon]

K, searching for you. Im wearing beige top and darkblue jeans

[elder coral]

Canadian spotted

[elder coral]

We’re wandering a bit, lemme know when you are around the temple

[reef pumice]

Will do! Should be about 5-ish minutes

Alright I’m in the little market area of senso ji where should I start heading? Still towards the temple?

[elder coral]

We’re still behind the temple!

[reef pumice]

Alrighty! 🙂

[torn lotus]

Goodbye Tokyo!
I’ll remember you in therapy

(Pretend the Tokyo metro train is there too)

[idle flax]

Me

[terse yarrow]

For cocos i get 3-4

[upper rock]

What are your plans?

[keen basin]

Nice Suzume no Tojimari photo spot! I went and took some pics there too two months ago.

[torn lotus]

I think you gotta post up there during rush hour to get overlap

[keen basin]

I was more than happy enough for just the red train

[idle flax]

Rn sitting at this korean cafe and drawing

[torn lotus]

Appreciate it

[finite raptor]

Let’s fucking go blue jays

[vital comet]

There's a sports channel now #us-sports-nfl-nba-nhl-mlb-cfb-cbb-etc

[finite raptor]

Lol

https://tenor.com/view/nope-nah-gif-27078288

[upper rock]

Have u been to the petting zoo

[lucid sable]

Let's gooooooooo

[oak hinge]

Now near palace, later Shinjuku, if people are near

[upper rock]

Im at Shibuya if anyone wants to meetup

[stable spoke]

Arrived rn, heading to the pokemon center and than grabbing a beer at mikkeller

[upper rock]

Im at Shinjuku now

[eternal shadow]

Thinking of heading towards Tokyo Tower. If I can just find my way out of Toyosu Market...

[final musk]

the club?

[feral lotus]

I’m making my way towards shinjuku, not sure what I’m doing yet

[final musk]

last full day here. might be free from Tokyo station whenever im finished merting my friend later on at night

[upper rock]

Let me know if u want to meet

[feral lotus]

Sounds good, might stop by Meiji first since I haven’t gone this entire time

[misty lava]

@lucid sable how you feeling after some time with the 10?

[haughty kiln]

I'm trying to message on the tokyo nightlife chat but it's not working. Anyone want to help this noob

[feral lotus]

I think it’s full

Someone needs to start another but getting people to join and actually use it is a struggle

[vital comet]

I can lock the old one and start a new one

[elder coral]

Doing the Tokyo flea market sat or sun (if it’s not raining) if anyone wants to come along! About a 30-40 min trip total from Shinjuku or Tokyo station

[vital comet]

https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1430084060092436554

[lucid sable]

I tore up that shinkansen toilet lol

My mouth was like numb for a good hour too. Im doing alright now

[blazing heron]

[reef pumice]

Sweeeeet! Worth every penny imo

[dim wagon]

Haha great Job, so actually no scam

[vital comet]

Not too different to how long it takes to catch an actual Dratini

[elder coral]

I’ll let yall know how I fare at pachinko

(Once I figure out what it is)

[willow canopy]

Just checked in for my flight 😌😌

[reef pumice]

Safe travels! 🙂

[stable spoke]

Going to mikkeler in shibuya if anyone want to join

[unkempt kernel]

@patent valve I found you big dawg

[dense bloom]

Arrived today, having a mid day coffee to get started at glitch coffee

[patent valve]

OH MY GOD IVE BEEN LOOKING FOR MAPLESTORY MERCH

WHERE??

I've been told it basically doesn't exist here anymore

I want I want

[unkempt kernel]

That’s probably true 😭

[patent valve]

WHERE

STOP BAITING ME

Aaaaaaaa

Is this not-japan

[unkempt kernel]

Yeah, I grabbed this from jeju lol

[patent valve]

Ffffff

[patent valve]

MapleStory merch on Jeju island 😮

Pain

[unkempt kernel]

Maplestory cafe and the nexon museum

[patent valve]

Idk if I'll be in Korea ever LOL

[unkempt kernel]

Not with that attitude

[patent valve]

I guess there's always ebay

And etsy

How much were the two?

[unkempt kernel]

S>jeju maple merch @@@@ @@@@

Hella expensive tbh. Like 20k and 25k respectively. Also, I didn’t mean to spam this chat

[patent valve]

Ahh official at least

That's like 2-3k yen I think? High side for smol plush

Check out this ebay listing though

$40+25$ lol

10k yen essentially

[next finch]

Himeji ropeway was closed today pretty disappointed

Will probably try again tomorrow

[unkempt kernel]

All dem tariffs man

[patent valve]

Thanks to a different orange mushroom

Also guys 100% a scalper

I guess I'll fantasize about a Korea MapleStory themed trip for the next year or two till I go lmao

[next finch]

Right there's where your display pic is from, I couldn't point it out earlier

[patent valve]

Me? Or Fuego 's OG American eagle(or was it abercrombie) bag pic

I pulled it off Google but yeah MapleStory 🙂

[next finch]

Yours

I used to play

I just couldn't pinpoint it

[patent valve]

Japan has its own server but they shut down their merch shop last year

[crisp quiver]

Omg do they have the green slime

[patent valve]

Fjidkdn I need MapleStory merch to be prime and center now after all the random plushies and things I've gotten here that I'll have to display lol

I wonder if their tcg cards are anywhere here

They're not really popular even as a collector item

[unkempt kernel]

They did! I wanted one but I didn’t have room 😭

Just got a coaster instead

[tame cedar]

I think I saw some in the 8 story collector building in Akihabara ( sorry can’t remember the name). I swear I saw some

[patent valve]

Does anyone know where I can find a train simulator on Tokyo? I tried the taito station in shinjuku(a reddit thread said there were 2) but they are there no longer

[torn lotus]

Looks like there’s an event next month?

https://maplestory.nexon.co.jp/campaign/super-mapleparty2025/

shinjuku looks like

But just lying around merch maybe not
Last few events look like 1-2 years ago

[patent valve]

Damn 4 days after I leave

Kinda looks like gacha and merch

Reminds me of USA's maplefest, except admission was way way more

[narrow jasper]

I made it to japan and I'm glad i don't have anything specific planned tomorrow cause I might end up sleeping an entire day after all that

[slow blaze]

Oh nice, ill be back in Tokyo that week

[unkempt kernel]

It’s not a vacation if you’re getting wrecked, so definitely take some time just to adjust and rest

[exotic loom]

There's a Densha de Go in the Round1 in Diver City Tokyo, but it's inside the spocha area

[patent valve]

Ahh

Maybe I'll go there lol, already been there though

Divercity, that is

[upper rock]

Is maple korean?

[blazing heron]

So uhh anyone at teamlabs yet

[reef pumice]

Me and Jason will be there in 5!

[dim wagon]

Just arrived at lemon sour

[blazing heron]

Cool I'll be waiting Black pants n red shirt, white shoes

[reef pumice]

Ok! We are heading inside now!

[blazing heron]

Same, I think there's two entrances

[reef pumice]

Interesting! We entered through the mall entrance

We are here lol

[terse yarrow]

Borderless pog

[blazing heron]

Oh I'm probably ahead of you, I'm at the ticket gate

[elder coral]

Ah gotcha we’ll catch up

[reef pumice]

Ok! We are waiting in line be in soon!

[next finch]

You guys are gonna love Borderless

Make sure you carefully explore the bamboo room

[left rampart]

Enjoy! Let us know how it is. I’m looking to go sometime in the next week or two but I don’t know which one to choose

[next finch]

I might go to bio vortex next week

Only heard good things

[blazing heron]

Is that the new one?

[reef pumice]

@blazing heron we are waiting to enter the doors now!

[blazing heron]

I'm right at the first room entrance

[lavish oracle]

I'm going there on Halloween

I'm intrigued

[next finch]

Yeah it's the new one

Did you buy your tickets already?

[copper imp]

So I finally landed, and am just kinda wandering around Akihabara. Any tips?

[next finch]

Grab some food and maybe get a good nights sleep

Maybe hit up a ramen shop

[torn lotus]

No idea,
I was a RuneScape guy lol

[nova marsh]

Sushi and shopping tomorrow

31M let me know who would be interested. Down for whatever neighborhood in tokyo. Staying near Ginza

[upper rock]

Keen to bar hop tmr night?

[haughty geyser]

anyone else going to disneysea tomorrow 🤓

[lavish oracle]

Yes

[drifting glade]

Hi guys! I have a free day tomorrow in Tokyo, staying in shinjuku. I am very interested in trying an omakase sushi experience if anyone would like to join? I would also love some budget friendly recommendations for that if anyone has any!

[lavish oracle]

Please list a budget in either yen or your currency

If you say budget friendly

I'm going to send you something that's 30,000 yen because that's budget friendly to me

[hollow egret]

Homie is loaded

[drifting glade]

Haha fair. Roughly 15,000 yen or $100 usd MAX feels reasonable to me. Hoping someone knows of an even cheaper but still fun experience though!

[vital comet]

You should see https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1337331661700071455

[lavish oracle]

Try Kyubey - https://myconciergejapan.com/restaurants/ginza-kyubey/

You can also try to just walk in for lunch too. They have a really nice lunch omakase called the Kyubey that's like 18-20 pieces and is about 16,000 yen. Slightly more than 15,000, but the quality is quite good.

[drifting glade]

I’ll have a look, thank you!

[lavish oracle]

Another very good lunch one - https://www.tablecheck.com/ja/shops/sushi-itsumi/reserve

Sushi Itsumi. Go for the 9900 one

[drifting glade]

This one looks perfect. Doesn’t look like there’s reservations available for 1 person at either restaurant tomorrow tho:/ that’s alright thanks for trying, maybe someone will want to hang out tomorrow and go together!

[lavish oracle]

I do think Kyubey is better

If you show up right as they open, you might be able to secure a reservation or a seat for that day as a solo diner

Kyubey was definitely better, but its also like 6000-7000 yen more

[young oracle]

@drifting glade I'd be in, I haven't actually had sushi in Japan yet which is a little embarrassing

[torn lotus]

Kyubey is pretty good for that
Edomae style, appropriate for Tokyo
Brushy brush the shoyu on top

[lavish oracle]

Whatever you guys book, just make sure you show up and ideally 10 minutes before your time

Both restaurants take credit card too

[young oracle]

My greatest struggle, waking up in the morning

[torn lotus]

I think you can book a few days prior

[young oracle]

Probably but it sounds like @drifting glade free day is pretty set. I'm just floating in the wind myself, I flipped a coin whether I would go to hakodate today

[torn lotus]

Go to what

[young oracle]

Town in Hokkaido. While drinking last night got an invite to a ryokan stay and I couldn't decide so I coin flipped

[drifting glade]

That’s far haha, but why not.

[young oracle]

The coin spoke, and I obeyed.

[torn lotus]

I know it’s up there

I think if you wait a bit the crab season starts, you’d be early I believe

Though I’m not sure Hakodate does crab
I just assume they do

[young oracle]

My biggest problem is I did a bunch of City hopping last two weeks and I kind of wanted to just stay in one place for a bit

[drifting glade]

@young oracle if you’re down to try omakase style sushi tomorrow I am! I see that @nova marsh is also free tomorrow for sushi.
However, I do need to go to bed right now, I just flew in this afternoon and I haven’t slept since Sunday morning 🥲 Lets talk plans in the morning! If our budgets roughly match feel free to search for something with openings or one that welcomes walk-ins, I am not picky at all.

[young oracle]

I'm okay with whatever budget you're up for. I'll do my best to get some sleep

[crisp quiver]

Gonna be in akihabara tmr - most likely going to at-home for the maid cafe exp. If anyone wants to join lmk!

lmao so is any experience where you have to pay ppl to do something for you

[lavish oracle]

Its weird if you go alone as a man or with a group of men

If you're with a girl, its far less weird

[crisp quiver]

I’m a girl…

[lavish oracle]

that being said, I don't much like or care for the experience

Its a lot less weird for both parties if you're a girl

The maids are a lot more engaging if you're a girl

However you also have to speak Japanese pretty well

so if you aren't doing that, then it can be a bit weird. However if you have a really upbeat and happy personality, they will too.

[limber tapir]

[crisp quiver]

So the invite isn’t extended to you?? Like y’all didn’t have to say shit since you’re clearly not interested

[lavish oracle]

Have fun. Make sure you do a funny pose for the polaroid

[reef pumice]

Bruno said he’s pretty drunk so I wouldn’t take what he’s saying personally! He’s a nice guy, just might be more vocal about his opinion after drinking a bit too much. I don’t want to speak for him just wanted to add some context as to why he might be saying this right now. That being said hope y’all have fun at your maid cafe! 😁

[lavish oracle]

I have a few female friends who do it and and they love getting silly.

Just bounce back the high energy they are throwing out

[crisp quiver]

“No offense but all offense. You’re weird for going to a maid cafe and I’m better than you for it”

[young oracle]

I feel like this is just cultural relativism. The sheer spread of the maid cafe in Japan over the past few decades indicates it's found substantial acceptance in broader culture over its otaku roots.

It's certainly not generally oriented at tourists

I definitely didn't feel stranger going to a maid cafe than underground muay Thai fights in Bangkok.

[vital comet]

The ones on the main strip in Akihabara have definitely gone for-tourists. But the ones elsewhere for locals are like very cutesy hostess bars - it's about the personal service and hoping to get you hooked to come back

[elder coral]

I might be down, maid cafe is on my jp bucket list…

Since muscle mommy bar ain’t happening

[limber tapir]

went only once in 2017 to a maid cafe just to get it off the bucket list.

[lusty kite]

When is this? Can I tag along?

[crisp quiver]

I’m planning to be there at 1pm

[lusty kite]

October 22 right?

[elder coral]

I gotta buy a bunch of degen bs for friends in akihabara

[crisp quiver]

Yep! I’m not gonna do reservations since most reviews said walkins are doable.

[lusty kite]

Dang it. Thats the time I land in Narita hahaha.

[dreamy pecan]

It s on my bucket list also if you re still looking for someone

[crisp quiver]

Yeah anyone that’s interested and free can join why not.

[dreamy pecan]

@crisp quiver give me a time and a place and i will probably show up

[polar cargo]

this is my fourth day here, go to the sky tower is pretty cool, than there is this place cool radio kaikan that was 10 min walk from my hotel, and there is a huge cool temple not far from the sky tower i forgot the name of it

also i took a sushi cooking class at a place call chagohan tokyo, my friend made the reservations and i was very skeptical, it turned out a lot more fun than what i thought

[crisp quiver]

At-home akihabara main. Aiming for 1pm but could be 2pm, will know for sure tmr!

[polar cargo]

anyone getting food?

[azure veldt]

Bloody oath. We're at Atom. Where the heck is everyone

[nova marsh]

I have one booked tmrw but im down to have 2 in one day. I once had 6 in one day haha

[willow canopy]

I might be able to join for omakaze in the evening!

[idle flax]

The weather is certainly bite-y, glad I brought a puffy jacket just in case. “11C that feels like 9C” 😩

[cerulean charm]

Are you used to the cold? I will be flying soon and unsure if I should bother with jacket

[idle flax]

Probably best to bring a jacket. Or buy one here

[soft lion]

Definitely bring a jacket

[reef pumice]

I agree with Kate, it’s pretty chilly this morning so bring one just in case!

[idle flax]

Especially if you plan to explore in the morning or stay up late. Plus still some rainy/cloudy days upcoming which means no way to get extra heat during the day

[torn lotus]

Or going up to the higher elevations at all

Matsumoto is cold, Nikko was pretty cold

Arguably sweater weather up here

[young oracle]

I got cold last night so I walked into a thrift shop and walked out with a women's jacket 5 minutes later

[torn lotus]

If you can layer I’d recommend that

[cerulean charm]

Thanks for tips, I'll pack a coat just in case.

[lavish kayak]

I'm bringing a breathing outdoors raincoat + a hoodie - layers are often best

[polar cargo]

its been raining a bit, not too much, and its getting more on the cold side now

[pure junco]

Heading to Nara right now. Just an FYI if anyone's around

[slow blaze]

Yeah, i need to find a coat. I was fooled by the past warm days

[vital comet]

There’s https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1393065961703215104 and https://discord.com/channels/440956791426383882/1429687032669540483 too

[slow blaze]

And since im leaving to nagano tomorrow, i need to take care of the matter like right now

[drifting glade]

@willow canopy @young oracle there’s a 6pm opening at itsumi. I can’t book for a single person though so is anyone willing to commit so I can book? https://maps.app.goo.gl/CFSEapmmZqmVWrgt9?g_st=ipc

[young oracle]

I'm down

[drifting glade]

Hi just saw this! Does 6pm overlap with your reservation?

[drifting glade]

Is it appropriate if I dm you?

[young oracle]

Actually I already started a dm with you so...

[drifting glade]

HAHA love it

[young oracle]

You probably aren't more than fifteen minutes away from a department store or shopping mall so

Oh nice ty Jason! I think you posted earlier you’re going to the one tomorrow right

[elder coral]

Yup! The music at tomorrows seems more up my alley than the one tonight haha

[feral lotus]

Is this still happening?

[median vapor]

I’ll do a walk around it in an hour, maybe less do you can join if you like

Mainly window shopping and arcades

[eternal shadow]

I'm heading to akiba soon for some wandering. Might also be interested in maid cafe?

[dreamy pecan]

I m heading there too, up for anything

[upper rock]

Right now Mt.Fuji is hidden behind a fog so dont bother heading there

[young oracle]

Me and @drifting glade are hitting up takeshita street in harajuku for a bit, probably finding some lunch too

[crisp quiver]

Going to at-home main branch. Will be there around 1pm 🙂

[nova marsh]

Besides Shinjuku, Shibuya, Roppongi, Ginza

Where should I go to explore, shop, eat? Walk around

[dreamy pecan]

Gonna be in akihabara around 12.15 if somebody else want to meet there

[dreamy pecan]

Not been here long but ueno or asakusa

[eternal shadow]

Asakusa is cool. Go to Sensoji. Pretty close to Skytree too

[median vapor]

Hoppy street asakusa. Everything is good there. Ueno in the evening is super cool too

[median vapor]

I’ll be at the station around 12:40 at the latest if you want to tag along

[craggy bluff]

Yep!

[craggy bluff]

Are you also doing the maid cafe with us?

[dreamy pecan]

Who is us?😅 planned to meet with @crisp quiver and whoever also want to come

[feral lotus]

Cool I might be a little late. Yamanote says delayed but not sure if that’s actually true

[crisp quiver]

Lol us is me and Sophia

[dreamy pecan]

Ok so yeah, if you ll have me

[craggy bluff]

She’s our planner 🫡

[umbral tree]

Anything cool going on today? In Shibuya right now grabbing lunch

[eternal shadow]

Shimokitazawa, but don’t leave without doing the best thing there
https://www.reddit.com/r/JapanTravel/comments/14sum76/how_to_access_live_music_in_japan_and_why_it/

Also any of the Chuo Line stations from Nakano to Kichijoji have great neighbourhood feels with lots going on. Koenji especially

[fallow cape]

@rancid dome @reef pumice Im gonna try eating here at 530 (when it opens) if you wanna meet up before the show

[craggy bluff]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/qLD2ZcwH8D3JcRMm7?g_st=ipc

Mb I didn’t think there was another one 😭😭

[elder coral]

Ah nice I’m closer to this one lol

[craggy bluff]

Ah perfect

[feral lotus]

I’m on my way. Probably around 1:10-1:15, sorry for running late

[lavish oracle]

Oh man….

Wang dang doodle

[craggy bluff]

Nah all good, lunatic is coming at 1

[lavish oracle]

That’s a feast for the senses

[lavish oracle]

I think that place is cash only so bring cash

[median vapor]

Are yall going straight to the cafè or doing some walking beforehand?

[elder coral]

Gonna find a bathroom then I’ll meet you out front. I’m blonde beard guy with hat

[fallow cape]

Thanks for heads up

[craggy bluff]

We have like 30-40 minutes to spare before everyone is here

[median vapor]

If walking is included, may I join as well:)?

[dreamy pecan]

Went to the wrong one😅

[craggy bluff]

Uh walking is always included? 🥲

[craggy bluff]

I’m so sorry friend

But at least you get a workout

[young oracle]

Part of the Tokyo experience

Get those 30k steps on

[eternal shadow]

I will catch up after I finish browsing animate

[median vapor]

I can be near Excelsior in 10ish if anyone is already there

[craggy bluff]

I’ve just been here 🧍🏻‍♀️

[narrow jasper]

I am in akihabara rn idk if it's too many people 😅 but if I can join somebody I will!

[lavish oracle]

If that’s too busy

[craggy bluff]

Hey you can join and then decide on if you wanna leave or not

[lavish oracle]

Then I got a bunch of other shops to recommend for soup curry

[final musk]

damn it got cold quick

[elder coral]

I’m here who are u

[final musk]

im surprised how many ppl are basing in akihabara

[rose moth]

Fr

[final musk]

I guess its on the cheaper end

[young oracle]

I had a place north of asakusa for a week and that area is cheap logging

Lodging

[final musk]

makes sense, north of asakusa is more empty and suburby

personally I like meguro because its equal distance to most places

while somewhat cheaper

I always end up choosing shinjuku area for a few nights though and I think Im on the train where I dont like shinjuku that much anymore 😂 other than the cat billboard

[fallow cape]

Sure! Any in the area would be good, I tried going to samurai on Monday and they were full so I might need a backup

[median vapor]

Blonde guy about to approach you guys. I look like I’m about to summit Matterhorn

[final musk]

I still haven't been to roppongi but what others said and Id put for a day trip to Nikko, Yokohama, Kamakura and Hakone also possible.

[lavish oracle]

https://maps.app.goo.gl/3tC3rFFkUFsrRsUKA?g_st=ipc https://maps.app.goo.gl/RBNzMtGziv8mhKWP6?g_st=ipc https://maps.app.goo.gl/GRc9YCLS9tPK71bU7?g_st=ipc

All 3 are specifically soup curry

If you want a different kind of curry, I know those spots too

[fallow cape]

We here, you almost here?

[dreamy pecan]

Yeah 2 or 3 min

[pure junco]

Don't think so unless it shows up unintentionally. Got footage me running. Worst part is my shoe came untied. Waited to tie real quick. Put my camera down, and that's when it fell and cracked. Didn't realize it was cracked until later.

Nice hike if you're not alone though. And have a bear bell 🔔

are we meeting at the pallet show tonight?

[idle flax]

These are seasonal so not available in all vending machines yet BUT if you see hot corn soup do buy it. Trust

[drifting glade]

Gonna be at arcade games near shinjuku Kabukicho if anyone’s free and nearby

[haughty kiln]

I love hot corn soup!! I totally forgot about it

[steel dawn]

I’d be down

[rustic dagger]

If anyone else is down for a daytime hangout in Asakusa tomorrow, let me know. I'll be finished work by 10AM. Will be stopping by a few of my favorite places to eat and drink.

[tame cedar]

I’m doing team labs tomorrow at 11 then might head to Asakusa. Think I’ll be drinking there tonight as well

[chilly roost]

i'd like to join

[rustic dagger]

Would join you for drinks tonight as well, but I won't finish work until midnight. I hate Thursdays.

[stray vector]

me too!

[tame cedar]

Maybe I’ll go visit that grumpy Brit

[rustic dagger]

He's a bit laid up at the moment (somehow managed to break his foot). He'll still be at the shop, though.

[tame cedar]

Oh goodness

[rustic dagger]

Have you tried the crab soup with rice? It's 100% not crab, and 100% delicious.

[haughty kiln]

Secured the bag

[idle flax]

Just found a hellava boss pop up store :о completely randomly by stumbling upon it

[idle flax]

Hell fcn yeah. I feel like an influencer 🤣 But a good kind

[dense bloom]

Just spent too much at don quijote..that’s normal right?

[dull wind]

Anyone in Kagoshima the next two days?

[young oracle]

@final musk happy birthday!

[left rampart]

@willow canopy Sorry got caught up. I’m shopping around Shinjuku if you’re still going camera shopping hmu. Prob will check out a few stores in the next hour or two

[willow canopy]

I got the camera already, really solid prices there

I’m at the mori museum now and then will be at shibuya

[balmy wharf]

I'll be at Akihabara in an hour shopping and playing card games, hmu if you wanna hang or need a guide :)

[idle flax]

Also found The Amazing Digital Circus merch at a store

[modest grove]

Hello hello. I'm solo traveling and would enjoy meeting some new people to hang out with while I'm here if anyone's down ✌️

[balmy wharf]

What are you looking to do or what are you into?

[modest grove]

It's my 3rd time in Tokyo so I've done most of the main touristy things already. Mostly looking to vibe, grab some drinks and share stories, wander around and explore more of the city. Into coffee/cafes, jazz bars, anime (shocking I know) so I'd be down to walk around Akihabara again.

[vital comet]

Easy route off the beaten track

[ornate badge]

[stark lake]

I'm headed over to akihabara now. Still to early to hit up Shibuya or shinjuku.

[wicked flame]

[willow canopy]

[nova marsh]

Going to get sushi

[nova marsh]

What kind of music is the concert

[steel dawn]

I’ll join you at 6 recently woke up from a nap

[reef pumice]

It was posted a bit earlier! Look for the instagram link and it’ll bright you to the post and you can swipe through and hear little snippets of each artist that’ll be there tonight! 🙂

[nova marsh]

Seems fun, may show up and get a ticket at the door. Anyone have an idea if they allow backpacks? Been traveling all day and it would be inconvenient to go back to my hotel

[stark lake]

@modest grove where you at?

[modest grove]

Passing Naka-Okachimachi station. Was thinking of grabbing some food before going to that concert. Wbu?

[wicked flame]

So no Shinjuku plans? 🥺

[stark lake]

Dang thought you were in akiba

[nova marsh]

Im down to make plans for shinjuku. Have omakase at 6pm here then im down to party

[stark lake]

I have heard good things about lush. Probably the best in that area

[modest grove]

Ah yeah I'm one station next to Akiba :/ mb

[steel dawn]

I’ll be around

I’m gonna meet up with eaglegolfer later

[ornate badge]

I’m still down as well!

[idle flax]

Hear me out what if instead of partying in shinjuku we get some booze and share deep dark personal secrets or something

[nova marsh]

This can all happen at once 🫡😂

[idle flax]

True lol

[balmy wharf]

Just finishing up my phone number business

[idle flax]

Though can be hard to happen if its a loud environment such as live music

[balmy wharf]

Down LOL

[stark lake]

Oh so who else has accidentally created a cult?

[idle flax]

Shh I’m trying

[nova marsh]

Since Randy and others are down to meet up in Shinjuku im gonna stay here. Would be fun to go out meet all of you and possibly go to karaoke. Listen to Kate’s secrets haha

Arcade would be super fun.

[reef pumice]

Damn I’m missing the deep dark secret session 😭

[idle flax]

Also mb some sacrifice will happen

[reef pumice]

Making me even more jealous!

[idle flax]

Cant promise everyone comes back unharmed

[stable spoke]

Heading to shinjuku rn

[nova marsh]

7:30 meet up shinjuku? Where at?

[reef pumice]

Depending on how late I’m out and how tired I am I might check in to join you guys since I’m in shinjuku if that’s cool! After the show swinging up to Asakusa to meet a buddy.

[idle flax]

If we all go to shinjuku rn would we make it before the concert?

[pure junco]

Kyoto anyone?

[nova marsh]

Im sure concert goes on late but there is so much going on in shinjuku

[pure junco]

Gonna be in Shinjuku in 3 days. Keep the same energy please

[wicked flame]

That's why I'm saying we grab strong zeros and find a cheap bar in Shinjuku lol

[reef pumice]

The concert is at 6:30 so not really much time

[tame cedar]

@pure junco someone started a Kyoto nightlife and meetup group. About 5 of us just left Kyoto today. Worth checking there as well

[steel dawn]

Wild lmfao

[idle flax]

I might be in the minority wanting a lowkey vibe too heh. Type of shit where you sip things at a friends apartment with less distractions and more focus on conversations

[reef pumice]

I’ll be in Kyoto tomorrow Jimba if you’re there for a bit!

[pure junco]

Thanks Brody

[pure junco]

I'll be around for sure

[steel dawn]

Let’s see what the majority wants to do

[idle flax]

Wowwwwe

https://tenor.com/view/sadhamstergirl-gif-4231717927828306245

[nova marsh]

I will tell you the story of how i survived a plane crash if we do karaoke first

[stark lake]

Or you join us kate and we share secrets after we're too messed up to stand anymore

[idle flax]

Honestly I’m down for karaoke, can do like an hour there

[nova marsh]

Some of the best nights I’ve ever had in Japan was at a karaoke bar with random people

[wicked flame]

I know a cheap billiards and darts place you can bring outside drinks in but it's in ike

[idle flax]

All the people you see in Japan are random tho😂

[nova marsh]

Thats the point

[idle flax]

I’m down for ikebukuro too(its closer to me anyway)

[stark lake]

I'll be at Shibuya station at 1751

Where we meeting up at before the place opens?

[wicked flame]

We are tentatively heading to Rosa Entertainment tower in Ikebukuro unless anyone has a better idea. It's 1600 for 3 hours and we saw people bringing in drinks and there's vending machines there.

[young oracle]

Is anyone getting dinner in ikebukuro?

[wicked flame]

If anyone isn't going to the Shibuya concert 🫡

[idle flax]

Does it have karaoke?

[umbral tree]

Gonna start heading towards the concert now! Any kind of meeting point?

[wicked flame]

I don't think so. There are round1s but I am not a singer lol

[stark lake]

That's what I'm saying man

[late compass]

wait, who's performing in shibuya?

[stark lake]

No idea but live music good

[idle flax]

Several small artists I believe

[reef pumice]

Yeah it’s indie artists 🙂

[idle flax]

Its not about being good, its about everyone singing badly together 😂

[reef pumice]

What time are y’all leaving for the venue? It’s 20 minutes from me but can head out if we want to meet up outside before

[stark lake]

I think the flyer said it started at 1830. I'll be there around 1800, still on train over

Maybe grab a 7/11 beer first

[vital comet]

#1337071523751530598 message

[reef pumice]

They’re who I’m most excited for and want to see haha they seem awesome, love their vibe.

[umbral tree]

[vital comet]

[late compass]

[late compass]

Ah... it's a club

[nova marsh]

🫡

[vital comet]

It’s a live music venue not a nightclub

You can just rock up but it’s ¥500 cheaper if you do a reservation first https://forms.gle/BtHdyMuWHAA1xHmV7

[steel dawn]

[nova marsh]

[left rampart]

If the non concert crowd wants a chill/alt night, you can grab drinks/food and come to the outdoor lookout at Shinjuku station. I have a table overlooking the train tracks

[patent valve]

Hi friends

[young oracle]

I could be down for that, I was out with military until 8 am last night and not looking to repeat that 2 nights in a row

[left rampart]

Come by it’s one of my favorite spots and it’s cool at night. I’ve almost been here for two hours tho so I’m gonna need someone to relieve me so the table doesn’t get taken lol

[patent valve]

What groups and plans are going on? I see live music from habo, chill Shinjuku rooftop, any else?

[idle flax]

Having touched the bed after 8hrs of non stop walking(my bad) I might not be able to get back up. If ppl are meeting up at 7p I’ll try a power nap

[patent valve]

Asakasa in the nightlife ch

[steel dawn]

You said good drink deals?

[nova marsh]

Just trying to meet some friends, down for this or shinjuku. Possibly both 😂

[lusty kite]

Any plans later? I'm down for a beer or two around 9-10

[ornate badge]

[patent valve]

[young oracle]

[steel dawn]

Shinjuku is guaranteed if nothing else goes through
