Last thread is finished but is ginza worth skipping? I hear it's just the rich district.

>>2710724
It's always been the upper class shopping district. I've only ever gone there when I found a restaurant on tabelog I wanted to try, and when I was craving chain restraurant pancakes (Eggs n Things).

Have you been to ginzan onsen?
I thought it was pretty rad and sugoi

Anyone have any bad experiences in Japan? People rarely talk about bad things that happened to them on their trips

Can any Jap readers get any info on Komyozen-ji in Dazaifu? Google maps says it's closed but one recent review says it's open on saturdays and sundays. Any other english info I can find is out of date.

There's a festival at Akasaka Hikawa Shrine for three days starting today.
There'll also be a Bon Odori dance starting at 6:30pm. If you're in Tokyo now, be sure to check it out.

>>2710739
I went to a restauront bought an overpriced pizza.
$21 USD for a floppy pizza that barely takes up the space of the plate its on. Tasted ok, but thats it, just "ok" for $21, not worth.
Coupled with the staff coming up to me and going, in decent english i admit; "We are reserved on all tables tonight, so you need to finish by (30 minutes away)"
I dont think they were lying, the place was empty, every table was shifted to form a few massive tables and each had a reserved sign.
>Anon goes to japan to buy pizza
I wanted pizza alright, and i forgot dominos existed!
What would i do with the pizza box afterwards anyway?

Where are these used panty vending machines that I used to hear so much about?

quite a few, but i've been living here for a little while now. once you step out of the tourist bubble you quickly come to understand that japan is a regressive bureaucratic shithole and the real wonder is that they've managed to compete so closely with the rest of the world given how ass-backwards and inefficient a lot of shit here is.

that said i still it here and it's a better place to live than am*rica that's for sure

>>2710781
>japan is a regressive bureaucratic shithole
It's comments like this that make me appreciate living where I do now. Sometimes I fantasise about living in Japan, having a happy and peaceful life, and then comments like this bring me back to reality.

>>2710739
In my 2019-2020 trip I neglected to book accomadation in Tokyo until the last minute and booked an Airbnb which was obviously a Chinese investment and managed one. The room was acceptable enough but there was an issue with the fire escape window where it didnt seem to be able to close or open and I got a bit sick around the time I stayed in there. The management was done remotely through Wechat and they didn't seem able to offer a solution.

The second worst experience I had was queueing for Reitaisai with my mother in 2012 and confusion about where to line up, with a guy getting frustrated and Xing her away which is still a joke between us.

That's really all. I can't recall anything else.

>>2710739
Having lived here ten years: yes.

I imagine that if I came as a tourist, most of my bad experiences could probably be chalked up to expecting service and customs to be similar to my own country. That is, tourists make their own problems.

>>2710772
>she
Wat.

>>2710784
examples?

>>2710786
Mostly work-related -- being ignored because "This is Japan". Or being confused as a FOB foreigner if I ever dress down on the weekends. I think these are more "microaggressions" than actual bad experiences, for the most part, but the frustrations do accumulate over time until you come to terms with the fact that

>You will never be Japanese.

There's always things like being denied credit card applications or struggling to find housing because landlords feel you're a flight risk, despite you having paid into the pension system longer than some 22-year kid renting their first house.

You'll always be a second-class resident. There's just no escaping that.

>>2710788
Something I don't deal with as a SOFA member. Nothing like getting paid USD and living in Japan.

>>2710782
>Sometimes I fantasise about living in Japan
When I got here I realized that Japan is an ASIAN country, all the "weird Japan" idiosyncrasies and quirks that you used to read about or watch on TV make absolute perfect sense when you view Japan as another SEA country that spends actual money on public services.

From watching too much jap films and anime I used to have the impression that it was a "western" country with Japanese/Asian characteristics. It's the other way round.

>>2710789
Yeah. Everyone I've met who's been in the military has loved their time here. I'm not the most patriotic of people, but I envy those who've put in the years with the military and had it pay off for them.

>>2710791

The used panty vending machine is an urban legend, and the fact that such a vending machine was ever installed has not been confirmed.
I've heard that Brucella Shop, which is based on this rumor, has placed a vending machine for used panties in its store.
Vending machines selling pornographic magazines do exist. Some business hotels, capsule hotels, and saunas also have vending machines selling new underwear.

>>2710793
Its American Neo-colonialism is whats to be defended.

>>2710792
>actually having transferrable skills that allow you to go back to America
Gonna say this is the biggest problem with living in Japan long term. The longer you're here, the harder it is to ever go back without starting over at zero.

>>2710799
>American Neo-colonialism
Japan has to be one of the few countries that actually needs America.

>>2710792
I would rather literally kill myself than have to deal with American military personnel on a daily basis, whether it's in Japan, the USA, or anywhere else on this planet.

>>2710796
>Vending machines selling pornographic magazines do exist.
Are these in discreet locations?

>>2710739
I've been kicked out of places for being gaijin which would be national headline making news and protest worthy racism in America but it's just normal here. this happens maybe once a month. that's why people end up in the gaijin bubble. it gets a little old after a while so you just end up going back to the places you know will accept you.

This doesn't actually happen. He's kicked out because he can't communicate or understand the system, not because he's not Japanese.

Every single time some westerner bemoans not getting service, it's because they couldn't understand what was going on, and they're upset that they weren't catered to.

The only real racism is against Koreans and Chinese. And in most cases, that is deserved because they literally come over here just to complain and reaffirm their jingoism.

>>2710743
Repairs were completed last spring and the temple is now open to the public.

>>2710844
There are no Japanese people who discriminate against Chinese or Korean people,
except for malicious YouTubers who pick fights with Chinese tourists for minor manners violations in order to get more views.

>JESTA
So how does this thing work exactly?

>>2710870
You go to a website before your trip and apply for entry. If it's good - it's good, if it's not - you'll have to apply for an actual visa just like a third worlder needs right now.

>Landed in homecountry yesterday
>Already miss Japa

>>2710862
This is laughably naive. Don't let the kpop boom of the last few years fool you, Japanese believe they are superior to Koreans the same way Americans feel they are just naturally better than Canadians. Only worse, because we never tried conquering and raping Canada.

>Only tax free if you sped over 50k yen or something
Who spends 50k at a konbini all at once? How many people does that feed?

>>2710904
Oops, meant 5k. Still, who spends that when every item is around 140 yen? Thats 35 items!

>>2710878
Eh. The next time I come here, if I do, it will have to be targeted. Shrines, landmarks etc, a lot of the novelty wears off outside of those things. Out of Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, Kyoto seemed the more enjoyable city.

>>2710862
I'm pretty sure JP-CN-KR all hate each other. At least that's my conclusion given how they depict each other in fiction (manga, manhua, and manwha), people from the other nations are often antagonists that are comically scummy/evil.

No your right.
The common saying is Japan is like living in 2008 in 1989.
Thst being said there are some new things but Japan has never really recovered from the bubble.

Saw my first impromptu idol group performance at a mall today. It was cute. I even have a favorite. A few salary men were really enjoying it. Perfect Blue is not a meme

lol? lmao even.
No actually you're right. America DOES NOT have an illegal immigration problem.

>>2710970
People from Europe or Japan aren't illegally going to the USA to live there and definitely not at rates exceeding the vice versa. People jumping a fence aren't filling out your pathetic form. There is already a long established visa or no visa needed country system.
So, what's the fucking point then, genius?

When did Kyoto get so scummy? Went to the gion district and it was scammier than Shinjuku...

Shinjuku, they're straight up about prices and fees. My dumb bitch of a gf got lured into some (((exclusive))) sake bar that wanted to charge $35 AUD for 30min of talking and on average $70 whisky / sake shots that I'd seen in the shops

She thought she was being adventurous because I done the seedy tour of Shinjuku. Honestly, Kyoto is kinda meh but found a great little restaurant.

I also learned Okini is a very kind way of saying Thank-you but it's only in Kyoto

Not sure why, if you're working on a SOFA visa then you technically are working for an American corp/government just like at home.

I enjoy my job because honestly its piss easy and I get to live in Japan making USD.
I would like to try and start a small business here, just to have more roots. But honestly Japan is so fucked and is basically run by a gerontocracy that has no incentive to change or give their slice of the pie.

I wish I would have got the elevator lady's name and Line. I did see her the next day and we both stopped our spaghetti

>>2710975
A tiny amount, and the amount of Americans overstaying in Europe, Canada, etc, is probably much higher given the availability of government services and ease of dodging authorities compared to the US
And how is your extra charge and form stopping that? Because it doesn't change it one bit

>>2710839
This. It's not like China would just mind it's own business if the US wasn't there, and as good as the JMSDF's ships are they'd still be massively outnumbered by China's new build navy. It's not an idle threat in the least.

>>2710970
The USA's illegal immigration problem is that it's so difficult to immigrate legally and so time-consuming to claim asylum. We're throwing away our actual superpower, robbing other countries of their smartest and hardest working people. It is actually far easier to immigrate to Japan or the EU legally than it is to the US.

>>2710980
Legally, sure. Not like that stops anyone from doing otherwise though.

Anyways back to Japan

>>2710976
You're ex-military though, right? So I don't think job hunting would ever really be an issue. Versus me with management experience here, which is such a soft "skill" that it's practically worthless.

As for the Tokyo Hentai club stuff, I haven't tried it but I might give it a go in Osaka.

I went to a type of bar that has a type of K sounding name in Jap. The girl sits next to you, you can touch her a bit and talk. If you buy her a drink, she gets on your lap and kisses you. You buy her another drink, her top.comes off, she pashes you more and you can suck her tits.

Also you can grab her ass once she's on top of you. There's like an entry fee, then you obviously buy overpriced drinks for the girl at like 2000yen or something. Then there's crazy expen options but I wasn't gonna spend $200 for 12 shots of tequila.

Here's a photo of their card. It was in Shinjuku

Ironically, Shinjuku are straight up about prices and fees unlike shifty fucks here in Kyoto.

I went on an evening tour called Tokyo Bay Summer Cruise, but even at 9pm the temperature was still 30 degrees Celsius and the humidity was high, so it didn't feel that cool.

Although each Japanese person may have his or her own opinion of the Chinese and Koreans, most Japanese will try to help them as much as possible if they ask for directions or if they are in trouble.
What I am trying to say is that there are very few Japanese who would be discriminatory to them face to face.

>>2711014
I think so, I once was talking about my upcoming trip with the cities I would visit and stuff I'd do, and he answered how I HAD to fuck a whore.

Weather looks good lads, tomorrow is finally time for fireworks!

>>2711020

>>2711017
>what exactly would china stand to gain from conflict with japan
What do they stand to gain from conquering Taiwan, or bullying the SEA countries into giving up their reefs and atolls, or fighting with India over utterly desolate mountain passes?

>>2711020
I think it's just a sex tourist thing of assuming anyone else traveling to places they've whored in are doing so for the same reason, whoring. Personally, I visited a soap back in 2017 on my first visit to Japan just to fulfill that JAV fantasy, but my main reason for visiting then and my subsequent visits was always hiking, history, food, railfanning, and anime stuff.

>>2711024
I've bought a bunch of doujinshi and tanks from physical stores in Akiba (RIP Toranoana), and also from Comiket. You just walk in, pick out what you like, pay and leave. Nobody cares, nobody is going to confront you, anyone who judges you is going to keep it to themselves.

I kinda like the idea of cruising down the river taking in the sights on the deck with a beer in hand but i can't really find anything that caters to that idea. they all seem to be inside afairs with meals and stuff.

There's no tourist district, it's Nippon nightlife for Nips. Smoking everywhere, hanging on street corners in groups at every intersection, arguing, fights, catcalling (whatever the jap word for that is) and what inspired me to post was I just saw a lad pull a girl by her hair out of a Family Mart and throw her to the sidewalk. (White knights swarmed her) And the lad walked off.

What do you miss the most? Personally I like that convenience stores are open 24/7 and you can buy alcohol 24/7 with silent judgment. I like that in Japan there are many establishments in any city that cater to kinks or other vices. But I couldn't imagine living here with a career or family.

>>2711115
So many things.
The food is on a whole other level.
The streets are clean for the most part and even the slummy places have a gritty charm. Those tiny bars with limited seating. Meeting interesting people. Jap normies are boring, but polite and undiaruptive, while the jap non-normies are very fascinating and fun to hang out with.
I liked that I could casually hang out with a beer at 3 am in a park and it not feel illicit or niggery.
The houses and apartments I have lived in were super comfy.
Convenience of literally everything.
I spent a whole day riding random train line for the lulz. Not something I would ever do here.

Got an itinerary ready, but I am getting second thoughts about Osaka.

A bunch of people told me Osaka is meh and mostly good for nightlife, something I am not interested in.

Should I just add another day in Kyoto for the Nara trip and do something else on those 2 days? Right now my Osaka days are like Osaka Castle + Namba

>>2711120
Also their customer service ethic is awesome. Attention to detail and extra decorum makes any experience better. Instead of some dead-eyed faggot muttering something at me and looking disinterested I get a smile and a bow and an extra second of attention.

To much time in osaka? Kyoto is 15min, nara is 30min, himeji is less then 1h. Half of /jap general is lost in translation closeted faggots that cant see past tokyo. Osaka is good city, better than tokyo in my opinion. And even if you dont fancy it that much you have so much shit to see on the outskirts of it that you basicly spend a 2 weeks there using osaka as a hub and sleeping zone.

learning Japanese is certainly a task. I had fun trying to pick up girls here but I'm now thinking long term, and if I stay neglecting and procrastinating learning the language I will never get a girlfriend here. Remember to visit >>>/jp/djt

>>2711274
>all that time and effort just for one person
not worth it, unless you learn early and spend your whole 20s picking up japs
then settle down with someone from your country in your 30s

What ward of Tokyo should I stay at for the first mid of october? Ikebukuro ? Somewhere else? I still don't know, and I'm quickly getting tired over noisy, dirty and disrespectful gaijins

>>2711275
I mean I'm not just doing it for a girl. I want to eventually come back to japan after working here the 2 years I'll be here.

>>2711226
Yes, because Japan doesn't make you go through a lottery to get permanent residency, and that permanent residency path is time-based and can be either through both employment and being a student. For the US, employment visas are lottery based and capped at 85k total applicants each year. From there, the company has to sponsor you for a green card for permanent residency. This is expensive for the company, there's zero guarantee they'll do it. There is no permanent residency path in the US if you're on a student visa.

>I know plenty of legal immigrants in the USA who don't do "skilled jobs".
Both countries have citizenship paths for people who have family that are citizens/permanent residents, but most people don't do the marriage of convenience thing unless they're very desperate, seeing as it's illegal in the US. Not sure about Japan.

>>2711264
So you're saying there's a chance?

>>2711277
>I'm quickly getting tired over noisy, dirty and disrespectful gaijins
Then why are you going to Tokyo?

>>2711012
he's just some zogbot spic sex tourist who doesn't even really like Japan. I've seen him post on other boards like /a/. I'm assuming he has a soulless atomized life but enough money to fill the void with consumerism and whores but yes it's all he fucking talks about like this is a SEA thread

I hope he an heroes one day because he seems like an asshole.

I swear every young Japanese mother that I see has the same style bowl cut.

>>2711297
It's kinda cute innit

What okonomiyaki place in Osaka would you recommend for someone who never tasted one ever before?

>>2711291
and if that sounds harsh unless I'm confusing him with some other anon my first encounter with him was him bragging about how much money he makes and how he gets a sadistic rush from paying
women who don't want to have sex with him because he's not Japanese and probably not even white (inferiority complex) while talking about how much he hates Japan for not letting him do things the way they do back home (leave nigger)

I don't think it would be a great loss for the world if he drank himself to death. Maybe I'm being too mean and I know this is 4chan but he just rubs me the wrong way. Just really hubristic and soulless even though he bitches about how Japan is full of "bugmen"

Anyone else here try out day game in Osaka?

>>2711287
Of course, but it's not worthwhile. The novelty of female companionship and affection wears off very quickly when you're just being treated like an object. At least it did for me...and I used to be the kind of guy who would say "Use me, I don't care, if I have female company I'd be happy." How wrong I was.

I'm curious, will Japanese women ever show interest or is it expected that the man make the initiation i.e. ask for a date even if the woman hasn't made any explicit signs that she's into you? This is for irl interactions not online bs

>>2711336
Based. I'm gonna watch Asian Kongfu Generation

>>2711337
Like any other country, if a girl is outgoing and likes you, she will show interest or make some sort of advance. If she's not outgoing, she won't. If she's drunk, more likely to make an advance.

Is it uncouth to hit on a Japanese woman while she is working?

Then you say it's the same as some spic in a/ who hates japan and forces bitches to fuck him etc. Of course it's not and you're just reading into things.

I don't Kyoto gion district at late night last night. No tourists all the seedy japs, stressed out people and smoking bars

Also found a playground from 1915 and an old shrine/temple. That was nice

foreigners in Japan are one of the most stuck up main character syndrome cunts
>>2711252
how would you communicate? with hand gestures? Jap girls are super overrated btw, having a jp gf was a life changing experience for me because I didn't experience teenage love and Japanese girls are very childish but the "sex" (I wouldn't even call it like that) was so bad it made me feel so bad with myself and my physical appearance. Maybe because we were both inexperienced but she didn't even try it.
Other than that japanese girls and people in general have this sort of veiled racism everytime they deal with a foreigner, they hate you or they workship you just because you are from another country, you are basically a dancing monkey for them and the more you act like a walking stereotype the more they like it
>>2711267

I'm not here for coom but I love it regardless. This place is like a time capsule.

How good are the $2 meals at a convenience store? This is dream land.

One of my favourite things is walking around late at night to see the darker side of Japan and after hours tourism.

I love just random little streets and such

I'm worried this 2030 initiative might fuck me so I want the most out of this place

meh on second thought you don't seem so bad. I was dealing with some
emotional transference since I was mad at someone on /a/ and you superficially reminded me of him. I know thats nuts but it is what it is.

I am curious if I was right. I guess I am schizo I just wanna see if I was right this time. I get a lot of false positives but when I'm right it tends to really get under people's skin.

i make it a goal to try day game at least once any time i go to the city (i live in an inaka ass town so it's impossible here for many reasons)

i'd say about 10-20% of the time i can get a LINE and of those maybe 25-50% of the time i'll get a response back to my messages. really depends. i have gone on dates with girls i've gamed though, so it's worth trying. i would imagine osaka is better for it than my city since osakans have that reputation of being friendly and such

>>2711442
Tokyo: Kappabashi Dogukai
Osaka: Sennichimae Doguya-suji

So this eikaiwa hired me from the states, decided they didn't like me a week into training and fired me/kicked me out of the training center dorms effective immediately, then escorted me to a station and said bye. The fuck?
I have 0 teaching experience compared to my coworkers who were being trained, but I'm sure I did ok enough to go through. I got along with everyone, but I asked why we needed to wear masks and that I didn't like a document they gave me because it was all in Japanese. They say that's not why, but I could tell it was. It was stupid because the trainers were all American talking about how you shouldn't question your superior in Japan like some meme they get power boners over. Anyway, now I'm homeless, jobless, living in a super cheap place at my friend's while I figure out my next move.
I lived in Japan before, but as a base worker. I didn't plan on staying at the eikaiwa for long anyway but this isn't how or when I would've wanted to leave it.
Wat do? Any tips? I've been applying and hitting doors, only a couple interviews so far. Thinking about staving off expenses with wwoof or workstays.

Travelling from city to city is horrible since I got a fuck load of luggage I expected to unload into an apartment, I've been tossing things and I'll probably just bite the bullet on selling shit for cheap at a hardoff including a couple luggages.

I have connections but they're all researchers/engineers who have no money to give me, only "collaborations" it's fucking worthless. I can't get a military contractor job because I was never in the military or had security clearance, base jobs don't support civilian workers as much as they did when I worked there before so I'm left with what??? I was hoping to job hop once my Japanese was better and target career skills were higher.

On top of all that, Ive started to hate how jap bitches are always saying "one worded exclamation" *annoying fucking fake giggling*

literally just walked up to an open bar with seats available and ask for 2 seats in japanese and they just hit me with the X right off the bat. I was with another anon too who also speaks japanese. I don't known why >>2710844 is larping like japanese aren't xenophobic. yes 99% of japanese just treat you like any normal customer but some behaviors which in America would be considered horribly racist and equivalent to genocide such as banning someone from your restaurant because of their race or nationality is just normal here.

the thing is we just shrugged and went to another restaurant and had a great night anyway. racism is treated like this horrible bogeyman in America but when it actually happened to me after traveling abroad it was the most innocuous thing. Americans act like there are chuddie death squads roaming for POC scalps like a Cormac McCarthy novel every time someone gets their pronouns wrong or asks if you like fried chicken or watermelon.

I don't like this kind of weeaboo foreigner in Japan who acts like Japan has no flaws and all accusations of xenophobia or culture shock are grossly exaggerated or even malicious lies. they are more common than I'd like to admit however. it's usually the folx who just moved recently. all of the foreigners I've met who've been in Japan for about a decade or more will readily admit if you're not ethnically japanese life is more difficult for you because of your race. especially my Korean friends living in Japan say this. see >>2710844

Japanese arcades are really above the rest of the world but fuck, same thing applies to difficulty/rigging.

>>2711603
I mean, as a Black guy, I'd rather get treated like an outsider in a place where I AM an outsider, than a place where I'm not.

That's why It's so easy for you to accept, It'd be easy for me to accept racism in Japan, too, if I experienced it, but so far in my total time of four weeks there, I can't recall experiencing any racism outside of some patronizing jyouzu nihongo (my Japanese is shit).
Even in stores, I expected for cashiers or attendants to be eyeing me the entire time, like whenever I enter a Hispanic/Asian/White store in America, but they just stay minding their business -- no eye contact, no looking in my direction, and they help without attitude when I ask.

But even if I got hit with some racism in Japan, again, It's a lot more palatable when I am indeed an outsider, rather than experiencing it in the place I SHOULD belong.

>>2710910
your average uneducated Chinese douyin scrolling peasant has burning hatred for Japan because most of their history classes in schools is about japan bad. but every Chinese met who has actually traveled or is smart enough to pick up a book or use the internet knows that it's government propaganda. some of the biggest weeaboos in the world are Chinese.

idk it's a generational thing. old people who grew up during the war or immediately after obviously have a bone to pick. but the young people who grew up with the internet are mostly just curious about each others' cultures.

>>2710949
well it has to do with their economy. their bubble crashed in the late 1990s. they had lots of capital to rejigger their industries from the 1950s until the 1990s. but after the bubble popped the capital dried up, the manufacturing went to china, and the high tech industry went to SK Taiwan and America. back in the 1990s it was widely predicted that the japanese economy would overtake America's by the 2020s. you can read front page Wall Street journal headlines with this prediction.

I'm asian and I live in an asian neighborhood and the only time black people come here is to rob somebody, usually an old lady or a mom with her kids, so yeah maybe that's why they give you dirty looks.

I go to a white store they look at me weird too. do you get bad looks when you go to a black gas station? of course not. don't act like all of America belongs to you. that's not how it is for anybody in America.

>don't act like all of America belongs to you. that's not how it is for anybody in America.
You see my problem?
I'm not acting like all of American BELONGS to me, but I am from America, amongst, presumably, Americans, so you would think I'd feel more welcome here than anywhere else, least that's how it should work.

Yet, when I go to Japan I don't get the dirty looks and constant monitoring of my every movement when I go into a store.
It shouldn't be that when I go to a store half a mile away from me, or even right down the street, that I feel so unwelcome, while when I travel to the literal opposite side of the world, I feel nothing but hospitality.

Oh wait, right, I don't actually have control over what other people do, just like you don't have control over weirdoes shooting up schools (this applies to you whether you're White, Asian, or Hispanic).

>My best friend is black but even I can joke with him how the majority of his community are thugs and trash
That's because he's a cuck.
I don't mind criticizing my own community and/or race, but letting someone else joke about what he doesn't actually know is peak "Haha I'm not like the rest of those n*groes, pick me!" energy.

Also you didn't grow up in the hood, stop LARPing.

There is nothing wrong with this. People don't have unlimited time or money, so when they travel they naturally go to where the best infrastructure and most cultural sights/heritage is. Nobody is going to sit in bumfuck inaka town for a month on their first trip to Japan, they'd be bored out of their mind by day 3. I'm convinced this dumb meme is just "Real Small-Town America" cope applied to Japan, as if 92% of Japan's population didn't live in cities.

Today is 9/15 in Japan.

In the chaos of arriving to japan on 9/13 I forgot to buy travel insurance, and I found a plan that allows me to start a policy on 9/16 until the end of my trip. I applied and was accepted.

I immediately was accepted but Im already starting to feel sick like a cold and I want an examination. I can probably bear it for a few days until 9/18.

Will I be able to make a claim on 9/18 or will I be declined for already being sick before entering? I'll just tell them I got sick the day I called them but I'm not sure if they'll accomodate that.

I went for 2 weeks a few months ago and genuinely didn't have any bad experiences.

I got the train to hakone (hot springs town) and wasn't allowed in an onsen because I was £0.20 short (I feel like I'd get away with that in the UK, but I get it. All exchanges were closed too).

After shagging a jap nurse I had a frank chat about the kind of guys she likes. She said she likes all except black guys (based).

That about all the 'bad' stuff I saw as a white, blond haired/blue eyed 5'11 brit

>>2711449
Still cannot for the life of me understand why people agree to "teach" English there for $2000/month.

Matched on hinge, I was staying in Shibya and she lived about 40 mins away in northern Tokyo so I suggested we get coffee at place called white glass coffee near shibuya train station.
We got matcha and talked for about an hour. One of us suggested drinks so we walked around trying to find a bar and settle on a random one a couple of floors up. We drink for another hour then headed to the door.
After that we just walked and talked for a bit. I pointed the direction of my hotel andshe was just like 'cool let's go in that direction'. There was no talk of sex but we both knew what was going to happen.

When we got to my room we sat on the bed for a couple minutes talking and then I kissed her and we had sex.

She missed the last train home so I offered to pay for a taxi. She refused and stayed the night but had to get up at 5 am for work. I'm a proper gentleman so I walked her there

I had sex with 3 japs while I was there but she was the cutest

>>2711736
And then she did it again the next night with another gaijin.

>>2711741
but not with you

Nihon... I miss you. Something went very wrong because I was not born rich and Japanese.

>>2711756
Grass is greener on the other side. Think of all the things Japanese hate about Japan and you'll feel better.

English teacher master race here, got the day off from work tomorrow as it's a holiday, what should I do today? Already went out last night and Friday so I just want to chill out a bit. Brunch cafe or drive out to a petting zoo, WWYD?

Trust me, after moving back to the US the first time I applied, interviewed, grovelled my ass off. The last job I held was permanently part time and I couldn't get more hours

Anyone been to a happening bar in Japan? i.e. Swingers clubs, but more of a maybe it works out maybe it doesn't basis.

>>2711704

Stop wasting your money on a tourist mindset and settle in. Go grocery shopping.

it's too hot to be in Japan right now

Anyone been to the Shiba cafe in Kamakura? Gonna go and be a menace to the staff and their 100 rules and 30 minute limit.

Anyone tried renting a bike in Japan? Is it hard to ride it inside a city like Ustsunomiya or Tsuchiura?

I remember when 'JR Rail Pass' was the most common phrase on here, now it's absolutely gone since they fucked it up

No no sir. Construction in Australia. I've had a look at the sites here. They don't wear hi-vis and they have vests with fans build in them to keep you cool.

From what I have seen, we definitely do more and do it better. When it takes ages, it's because: they're fucking around on purpose / it's a government job / it's a union site.

However, this tunnel building shit is some of the first in the world so not everything was accurately quoted for

It's not difficult at all. The public transportation system in northern Kanto is so poor that local governments are encouraging people to ride bicycles within the city.

Geg, so they would get out of their way and make all the effort to get a visa and a boarding pass to Japan(a country they dislike) just so they could complain?

I'm going to tour Kamakura tomorrow, I want to go to the beach since its fucking hot.

Going to take this route (picrel) early as fuck in the morning then hit the beach. Are the beach changing rooms open?
Should I drive (expat I own a car) or take the train?

>>2711912
I am Japanese and I am interested in how Japan differs from other countries in this respect, could you please tell me?

>>2711918
It doesn't.

>>2711918
bar culture in japan seems very "specific".

What would you do, if you were in japan for 30 days, starting from today, and having only money to eat? Accomodations and commutes are already paid for, but I'm gonna pass a month like a bumfuck in here.

>>2711913
Usually, in September, the facilities for bathers are removed.
Also, there are few people swimming in the sea in September because of the risk of being stung by moon jellyfish. Only surfers are active.

How far does a dollar go in Tokyo? I'm an american so I felt pretty rich in SEA and eastern Europe but quite poor in say NYC and western Europe

>>2711841
Sure I just got here an hour ago

>>2711929
In july it was basically SEA levels, its still pretty high even now despite a drop from 160 to 140.

>>2711817
Sounds good. Is equipment like helmets, etc mandatory?

>>2711821
>Dress in a full suit and they'll just think you're a salaryman
This is true everywhere I've been to in East Asia - Japan, Korea, China, HK, if you wear a suit on a night out people will assume you've just gotten out of work.

All the slayers I've met here were dressed in minimalist loose-fitting semi-streetwear style clothing. If you're a foreigner you can get away with more since they apply a different set of rules for you.

>every jap says kabukicho is the most dangerous place in all japan
>go there last night
>it was nicer than the nicest area in my home city

SEGA really doesn't have that big of a presence in Japan does it?

I feel like I would have enjoyed my trip 300% more if I had taken the time to learn enough Japanese to have a basic conversation.

There are no penalties for not wearing helmets, although wearing them is encouraged.
In fact, many people do not wear helmets.

>>2711963
Fewer tourists, prices seem a bit better. People seem more genuine. It's kind of more ghetto but feels real. Energy feels better here.

Also its cooler weather wise

>>2711834
no. I have a six pack and a very mild widows peak
