What are the absolute must see attractions in Japan? Assuming you'll be there for anywhere between 7-21 days.

Konbini are turning to shit now. Increasingly jeeted staff, around a third I would guess have their bins removed/shit stacked in front of them/out of service signs taped on them. ALL the seating konbini are gone too, have to eat my food outside and they stare at me like I just shat in the street, what the fuck do you expect from me yellow cunt. The government seems to have been systematically removing the already next to zero public benches and shit too, the few there are, are always occupied by ojisan and his can of strong zero. Man, Japan going down the shitter epic style. They could at least reassign the make work guardian ojisans with their lightsabers to picking up trash or doing literally anything useful.

The scene has become an everyday scene, with gaijins crowding or sitting in front of convenience stores, drinking, smoking, and making a lot of noise.
When they leave, bottles, cans, candy bags, and cigarette butts are scattered all over the place.
If you buy something, take it back to the park bench or to your hotel and eat it.

I don't know how much time you've spent in the country and where you went, and I understand the gripe about revisiting the same places over and over again, however, unless you are an ultra weeb and you think walking in the middle of the rice fields in Iwate is "new or non-touristy", then you're not really missing out on anything once you've already been to most of what makes this country unique.
Highly suggest visiting a new country instead, again, unless you're an ultra weeb and you need to go to some place because it was mentioned once in an anime or you just have to go to Nebuta despite having gone to 10 other festivals already.
Nature/outdoor wise, the scenery doesn't change much at all. Kagoshima looks exactly like Aomori. There's nothing as drastic as let's say going from Bryce to Yosemite.

>>2813941
>smoking and drinking in front of konbini

I’ll stop when the locals stop. Saw 40+ Japanese people blazing outside of a 7/11 the other day, must have introduced a street smoking ban in the neighbourhood. As far as cigarette butts go, that is ONE HUNDRED FUCKING PERCENT on the yellow man. Every whitey I see smoking (almost none) takes his butts with them if there is no smoking bin there. Salarymen don’t give a fuck and just toss it.

>just take your trash back to your hotel bro

Ok but I’m travelling by bicycle and camping and almost no campsites will take your trash either, except for a bare handful who also charge for the privilege. All this shit behaviour is firmly squared on the locals, they should set a better example, sorry for eating my chicken nanban on the curb because all seating options have been removed and I’m not a local with a car bro.

Seriously, the garbage can situation in Japan is completely fucked up when everything comes in a zillion layers of packaging. I purchased a Camembert wheel the other day. Outside box of plastic cardboard, cheese wheel inside is contained in a rigid plastic packaging with removable soft plastic lid, cheese wheel inside THAT is also contained within a soft plastic wrapping. Foreigners are not to blame, when I cycle down a rural road with trash dumped all down the side for dozens of kilometres or a beach loaded with plastic garbage it’s pretty fucking obvious it’s not foreigners.

>take it to the park bench

WHAT FUCKING PARK BENCH BRO HAVE YOU EVEN BEEN HERE

>>2813944
I don't have a problem with going to the same cities again. I've been through all of Tokyo for weeks, explored all of Osaka on foot. I would happily go there again, I know I won't be bored. The downer is that outside of those places I've only had day trips to nearby cities and towns without much time to explore (for example I haven't been any further west/south than Himeji), and I won't have a chance to do that in this trip.

>>2813904
Wanna go to japan in fall 2026 and see the momiji. How are the crowds then

>>2813944
I'm curious to know how you would answer >>2813914 . Also are the grey dots on your map places you've visited?

>>2813904
Going to Japan for the first time in two weeks and while the question may be ridiculous, I still have to ask whether wearing a tank top as a guy is considered as impossible behaviour nowadays. I remember the Japanese being a bit upset over inappropriate clothing but I still wonder whether guys can get away with it without being seen as disrespectful

Also, what are the top non-famous food places in Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto for all you guys? I hate going to the places which are filled with tourists and expensive as fuck while providing poor quality

>>2813958
Nobody will even look at you. It will be hot as hell and everyone will be wearing t-shirts. Just don't wear a tank top to a classy establishment where people dress nicely. Goes without saying.

I think it's time we stop posting JR Rail Pass prices in the OP. No one is using it anymore

>>2813914
Daisetsuzan national park and Koyasan are the two standout experiences for me.

>>2813960
Was hoping for that to be the case. Are there any Japanese who are wearing tank tops outside?
Even here in Europe, I never wear short stuff in better establishments but when I see it being hotter than 30 degrees over there, I get immediate flashbacks to Vietnam last year where I would have ran around with wet-ass clothes all day had it not been for tanks

>>2813962
Just saw a video today saying it shouldn't be used anymore because of a price increase. That's still not a recommendation I take it?

Should I be happy that normies cannot find bins because they are in the heart of normie overtouristed areas at peak times? Or are anons just that bad at finding the bins that really do exist?

If you must, throw it in the bin at the next konbini and buy another drink/melonpan as a peace offering. Consume that on the spot to break the cycle. If the konbini is overflowing with rubbish then reconsider your location or gb2facebook.

tl;dr
>popular places are popular for a reason
>I can only give you a generic answer for a generic question
>my must see is a reflection of myself, your must sees will be different
They're all places I've been to, I think if you zoom out that's just what happens depending on the color of the actual icon itself.
To answer a generic question, I can only provide a generic answer. Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto. They're popular for a reason and they're all very accessible both logistically and in the sense of being a foreigner who can't speak the language.
Obviously things can be more detailed if you provided a more detailed question. For example if you're a weeb and into Evangelion then there's Hakone, that tank shit is in Ibaraki, and so on.
Personally, I am a big pervert so the top of my list includes places where exhibitionists are common, starting from tame mixed onsens where coverings/towels are not allowed all the way to infamous public toilets where you might find a woman tied up and blindfolded spread eagle.
Beyond that, I like the outdoors.
>ski
Hakuba/Appi/Niseko on a random weekday, early in the morning, or a not so popular/not accessible ski resort somewhere in Tohoku if I want to practice.
>hikes
Kamikochi is the closest I can find to Yosemite, hikes around the valley provides some nice views.
>diving
Naha is ok. I prefer Amami or Miyako.
As you can see, a lot of the things I mentioned are all popular or well known. I come back to the point I made earlier where certain places are popular because they're really just that good. If you only have a limited amount of time, there's absolutely nothing wrong with sticking to the popular and well known places.
Finally, Japan is an open book. There's no secret epic spot for locals only, and if there were any, information will be kept hidden. I personally wouldn't name drop my home ski resort because there's barely anyone there and I have a season pass, the last thing I want is more people chopping up the snow.

Anon you can't say this and not provide information aobut those places. Lemme know about the mixed onsens and the other places. I found an hotel that has a mixed onsen with towels but I found nothing else apart from that.

Considering staying in Gion for 2 nights on the recommendation of a friend - any thoughts lads? I know it will be busy with tourists but looks like a good location to be placed. Will be out of the house all day anyway

Anon from a previous thread that had booked 5 nights at cerulean in shibuya to start
>Tokyo 6(Shinjuku),7(Shibuya/Harajuku),8(Ueno Akiba),9(Ginza Odaiba)
Was this meant to mean staying in these places one night or should these are where to spend each day? I had started considering changing from staying in Shibuya as i see so many posts on instagram about it being a mistake.

>>2813885
>can you give me more info anon, you are leaving the mt fuji area and need to be back at Harajuku station by 7PM?
Yes that's correct. I can give more info....but I don't know what else to mention. I do have a resevered bus from Kawaguchiko station to Shinjuku, but I can obviously cancel that.
>The hakone loop takes around 5-6 hours, but its two hours away(and a little awkward to get to) from Kawaguchiko. I think its probably possible if you get up early and leave from Kowakudani/Gora Station by 4/5 pm, in fact if you get to Hakone by 10am you could be in tokyo early
You mean 4/5 am? Do the Fujikyu busses even run that early (let alone the one to Gotemba). If it takes two hours, then maybe I can leave around 9/10am ish and get to the area by 11am/noon I suppose. But even then it isn't like I'm interested in EVERYTHING on that Hakone Loop, but I am interested in that Glass Musuem, but that's out of the Hakone loop and kinda off the beaten pass.

Anyone got some pointers on Mt. Takao? I'm going to Japan in Febuary and i really want to visit it. As far as i understand its pretty touristy right?

>>2814057
Just book through a third party like booking.com it's the same price

>>2814062
I already did book one, i booked the one in osaka through booking, maybe i should just cancel and redo through there. Im a bit confused though because the thing that got added to my google calendar from there email had the dates 14-18 instead of 13-17 like i booked (and the email shows)

>>2814064
Weird one mate, probably nothing but worth getting in touch with customer service just to double check

>>2814070
Yeah maybe ill do it, i was just assuming it was some stupidness with trying to convert around times but theres no way the booking isnt in the local time

So far i have shibuya 6th-11th booked, then kyoto 11th-14th, and osaka 14th-17th. I had gone back and forth on staying in Kobe but i think at this point i would just go there for a day or half day while in osaka. I was pretty much. Should i go back to Tokyo for the remaining nights and stay somewhere quiet? I had been considering staying in akasaka but thats pretty close to where im staying at the start so thinking maybe Ueno (for the easy access back to Narita) or Asakusa. There's an APA hotel thats across the street from the skyliner station which would be nice. Or something else in that area, any other suggestions would be good. Leaving flight on the 20th isnt until a bit after 4pm but assume i need to get to narita like 3 hours early and its more or less 1+ hour from tokyo so dont have much time to do anything that day. I had been planning on getting another checked suitcase near the end of my trip and trying to do buying of stuff in those last few days but i'm not sure if that will actually work out, may end up needing to buy that early on.

Besides AirBnB, are there other apps or websites to book apartments?

>>2814085
You can use Booking but they're usually airbnb providers. But at least (as far as I know) you don't have to pay the ridiculous fees like cleaning fees and what have you.

These hotel rooms with the central air style a/c are fucking cancer. Stayed at a few now, turned the thing low as it would go on full blast and it barely took the edge off. I’m sure they have gimped them on purpose to save money. Fuck this shit I’m not paying 10k yennies a night if the air con sucks, only going to book places with proper mini splits now.

>>just take your trash back to your hotel bro
It took me about 2 days to figure out the best way to deal with trash was to walk into a konbini and ask "すみません、ゴミ箱がありますか?" I think most store clerks would smile and take your garbage, it makes it clear you don't want to litter. They literally walk out into the street and pick up trash if it gets dropped anywhere near their store.

>>2814133
Blacks themselves, let alone Africans, are scarce in Japan. Perhaps you got that impression from seeing Nigerian touts in Roppongi and Takeshita-dori.
And you probably got the impression that there are many Indians because of the large number of Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, and other South Asian-owned stores in the shopping streets of Ueno and Okachimachi. Many Indians live in Minami-Kasai, where no foreign tourists stop by.

>>2814406
>>2814408
Were they the nigger African touts? Literally Kabukicho and Shinjuku are the shitholes of Tokyo. I only visited once on my sole trip to Japan and just by exiting Shinjuku station you start to see all the Negroes around the area.

What would happen to a tourist if he KO'd a black tout?

>>2814472
It’s a shithole but only because its negatives have gotten too extreme and especially being a foreigner you stick out so hard you just get easily targeted. This is only the case for Kabukicho. There is still an attractive aesthetic in Kabukicho that makes it worth at least seeing.
Shinjuku honestly is not bad, as I like to use it to stay centrally in Tokyo.

To reach Mt. Takao by train, take the Keio Line express bound for Takaoyamaguchi from Shinjuku, and you will arrive at Takaoyamaguchi Station in 50 minutes without changing trains. In front of the station are the entrances to the mountain trails, the ropeway, and the cable car station.
If you take the express bound for Keio-Hachioji, you will need to transfer to the train bound for Takaoyamaguchi at Kitano. If you try to get to Takaoyamaguchi Station by local train, it will take 90 minutes, so wait for the limited express train.
Unlike JR trains, express trains on the Keio Line do not charge an express fare, so there is no advantage to using a local train. If you are going by JR, change trains at Takao Station on the Chuo Line to the Keio Line's Takao Yamaguchi Station.

Many people insist on going to Hakone, Kawaguchiko, or Nikko on a day trip from Tokyo, but these are places where Japanese people make several day trips.
From Tokyo, If you were to take a day trip away, Kamakura, Mt. Takao, or Chichibu would be appropriate. Or you could take the Sobu Rapid Line to Chiba and ride the Chiba Urban Monorail, which functions as a public transportation system.
There are zoos and parks along the monorail line, and if you transfer to the Keiyo Line to Kaihin-Makuhari, you will find many commercial and amusement facilities.

My first ever Japan trip is drawing to a close. I am charmed by an endlessly fascinating country, that manages to maintain a first world level of service while yet still being exotic and culturally rich.
Japanese women are the cutest of all the Asian countries and I don't regret nutting in a jap girl's mouth so she could keep some White cum as a memento.

Kyoto is great, however we have had to repeatedly step into restaurants, see the brown-skinned waiters and owners, and step out to avoid establishments NOT run by jeets. On Monday once, on Tuesday twice. Every time we are glad to have done this as we end up at authentic local Japanese-run restaurants with good food and service and affordable prices
also I feel like it isn't talked about enough how pretty this city is at night - the Japanese time zone gives you sunsets at 5 or 6pm but the night lights make up for it in the Gion district of Kyoto at least

Seeing all the gaijin in Tokyo, for example, it is possible Japan may be the last refuge of the White man.

>>2814743
>step out to avoid establishments NOT run by jeets

I'm confused about this and information out there doesn't seem to be very helpful. When I arrive in Japan, I'm planning on withdrawing about 400.000 yen, since I have to pay my hotel with cash. However, there seems to be limits on how much you can withdrawal? Does the ATM lock your card and prevent it from withdrawing more? How do anons here usually do it?

Also, is it true I shouldn't use the ATMs in the airport (Narita) and instead wait for a konbini?

Fellatio is a required service in soapland and optional in fashion health.
Kyoto is very popular among East Asians, so there are many hotels and private accommodations for them.
Normally, foreigners are not granted work visas for customer service and hotel work, so there are few jeet employees.

Do phones work differently in Japan?

This is a serious question. Where I'm from, and in other countries I've been in, phone calls and text messages (also known as SMS) are tied to your phone number.
In Japan, it appears that they have a separate system for texting. So they still need a phone number to make calls, but then they have an email address for texting.

Is that actually accurate? Moreover, Japanese seem to refer to texting as "mailing" instead, which makes sense if that's the case.

With the advent of smartphones, I realize my question may sound extra confusing, as most contemporary phones can now do both texting AND emailing, but to me it looks like Japan has been emailing before smartphones even existed.
For the record, I am not at all talking about third-party apps that do voice calls and texting (such as LINE, WhatsApp, etc.).

>>2815137
Facts. We were there for 10 minutes. But the girls wanted to go and they drank for free, so they apologized by getting the next round in the next place at least. Azumaya had the best overall vibes, mostly Japanese and everyone was there for the music. I would do bar bridge on a busier night, futuristic, a nice counter to mingle at, and the views really made me feel like I was in Tokyo.

>>2815140
>Do phones work differently in Japan?
tl;dr no.

Mail, short mail, short message = text message, SMS. People on iPhones may treat iMessage just as your standard SMS because they don't know any better.
Phone calls and SMS are tied to your number, but when getting a phone and a mobile plan from a big company (not from a small MVNO), you will also be given an email address tied to that service provider. More often than not, since the average person has no clue about tech and one more reason* I will provide later, this email ends up being their iCloud email and their iMessage send-from address.
LINE is the only thing that matters. Sometimes other SNS/social network methods, primarily Instagram or Kakao. Outside of work and official matters, I have never received an email from anyone in my 5 years of living here.

*there are cases where a service will only accept an email if the domain is from a big service provider, the most infamous one being LINE, where you are limited to a slightly restricted account unless you get verified, and providing this email is the easiest way of getting verified.

What makes a club 'good' in Japan?

>>2814883
Tokyo has a well-developed public transportation system, so you will have no problem staying anywhere in the city.
There is no problem in the suburbs of Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama areas, but the morning and evening commuting hours are very crowded, so avoid taking the train during these hours on weekdays.

Tokyo isnt all of Japan
just go somewhere else

Going to Japan in 2 weeks for 2 weeks. Currently have 5 nights in Tokyo (Shibuya hotel), 3 nights in Kyoto, then 3 nights in Osaka booked. I have 3 more nights but not sure where i should spend them. Should i do one or two nights in Hakone (so far Hakone Kyuan looks pretty nice), go back to tokyo and stay in Ueno or similar area, or something else? I'm not sure how worth it a ryokan will be if its going to be as hot as im anticipating, soaking in water might be the last thing youd want to do. I'm thinking of doing the last night in Narita, my flight out isnt until ~4pm but then i dont have to dedicate any time to getting to the airport and have heard Narita is fairly nice to stay in. Any suggestions on how and where to spend the last 3 nights / 4 days would be appreciated.

>>2815135

Can we talk about higher-end practical gifts? What I focused on so far are green teas, incense sticks, alcohol. For teas and alcohol you can buy fresh/local and transport in personal luggage, getting niche things which are not available outside the country or more expensive if you orde online. Incense sticks I found interesting fusion ones where they order frankincense from middle east/africa and put that on the classic resin wood. Don't have any relatives or friends interested in weebshit so putting that aside for now.

Go up Trail 1 then come down Trail 6 or Inariyama. I'm mildly overweight and the difficulty is minimal. Although I went in March where it's nice and cool but in summer rn it could be horrendous. Takao is probably my favorite Tokyo day trip to recommend. You can also visit the trick art museum and other things nearby.

Japanese is difficult to learn. Anyone that says otherwise is baiting or retarded. There's so much.

I came to Japan for peace, but I miss white women. Where all the white wimmin at???
So far, I found some go to language schools or take japanese classes. I have been getting dates from a hostel I used to work at that I now hang around. So far that's the best way for me, but I got to change it up. Any tips? I'm white so don't worry. I can't date white women at home, they hate me, but here, the time, place, situation, they never say no to a date, and I had my first white gf in Japan as crazy as it is.

>>2815294
Yeah I would definitely recommend the hakone ryokan stay. Onsen on a hot night is actually nice too. You could do: Nara, Hiroshima, Kobe, Fuji Five Lakes area, Kamakura, Nikko

Should I do 2 nights and then narita before leaving or just 1 night is good enough the ryokanexperience? I feel like i mostly hear about hakone but I had considered trying to find one in Kobe. I heard kobe is pretty fun to stay in but I had kind of planned to skip staying and just go there one day from osaka. But if it would be more worth doing the ryokan there instead of hakone or similar then id consider it.

>>2815443
holy moly, well done!

>>2815125
delusional retard. There are steak restaurants, Japanese wagyu restaurants, staffed by jeets all over Kyoto right now. I will even name drop them you coping autistic:
> Steak House Yoshida (570-122 Gionmachi Minamigawa): jeet waiter
> Wagyu Beef Thick Steak Sandwich, Cafe & Bar Benikoumori (605-0084 Kyoto): jeet at the counter and attracted jeets in the clientele as well
and I can't find the other one on google maps but just get back to Hanamikoji-dori street and keep walking away from the Yasuka shrine and on the right side of the street you'll find a restaurant with signage beside a staircase and a late-20s pajeeta in perfect American English comes out to greet you and try to hustle you into her establishment

TLDR Japan is getting jeeted and you are living in denial

>>2815437
Only if you need to read (and especially write) kanji. If you just want to speak it's not that bad but there's little resources to learn that way besides just live in Japan and spend ages in bars n shit actually talking to people.

>>2815417
If you use the gig guide up top and filter for [music type] you can find it. Go to teketeke if you're poor and have friends, otherwise nonbei yokocho is surprisingly fun despite seeming touristy. And the locals there are nice, provided you at least try to speak some Japanese

>>2815459

>>2815444
i think 1 night is good enough for a 2 week trip(it can also be a place where you splurge on accommodation). you can do the hakone loop, and then do the onsen + kaiseki dinner and head to the next destination in the morning.

kobe also has an onsen town its called Arima, its nice too, could also do that. personally i'd pick Hakone because the location is very unique for the world(its a volcano with steam vents coming out of the ground) and the water at the onsens is volcanic water

>>2815468
Any particular recommendations for where in hakone or pretty much whatever is available? Might end up staying the last 2 nights in ueno instead of last in narita if I do just the 1 in a ryokan since 3 nights back to back in different hotels seems like too much hassle

>>2815471
staying near Gora or Kowakudani station is not a bad idea, because its close to the hakone ropeway and Hakone-Yumoto Station. if you get a ryokan further on the loop you will have to take your bags with you around the circuit back to Hakone-Yumoto / Odawara Station. This could add a bit of time, but if youre not in a huge rush its not a big deal. other than that if your hotel is not close to any restaurants and you didnt book a Hotel dinner option you might have to transit/taxi to a restaurant. so location does matter a bit

>>2814625
Private railways are complicated, as each company may charge a fee or no fee for express service. Even the same railroad company may operate both paid and free limited express services, or only certain cars may be charged.
Basically, long-seat cars of major urban private railway companies do not require express fare, while cross-seat cars do.

>>2815474
I only want a ryokan with the breakfast and dinner, that seems like a big part of the experience

>>2815129
If you go to Hiroshima, you should also go to Onomichi and Shimanami Kaido. A day trip is a waste of time.

>>2815444
Overnight in Narita. Take a walk around Naritasan Shinshoji Temple and its approach to the temple, and eat the famous eel. You may also visit Sawara and Ushiori.
If you ask your hotel to arrange for your luggage to be picked up at the Kuroneko counter at the airport, you can go to the airport empty-handed.

My country is literally falling apart, me and all my colleagues have lost their job this year.

I don't really care about money, as long as I can decently live with what I have.
And if in the end I still can't land a job in Japan, I'll try somewhere else.

sounds like tech? I got laid off and know japan is full of low-mid pay (like $5-6k/month type stuff) jobs locked behind conversational japanese.

sounds like a real play.

My adversion to that would be because japanese do seem to really dislike gaijin and I'm not sure what the future is outside of the work. gaijin on gaijin relationships can be robust tho

Okay I know pets aren't really as big of a thing in japan but I checked airbnb and just putting on the pet filter brought the listings from over 1000 to just under 50. Not only that it seems there is some trouble renting standard apartments with pets from what I've seen on those other sites. So whats the deal? I remember seeing lots of people with them in japan do they just own their own house or something?

>>2815534
>pet filter only 50 listings
Wow so theres only 50 rentals that include a companion dog,cat, bird or maybe the also common pet weasel that the japs seem to love so much? I thought there would be at least 150 cat cuddle options

>>2815529
Not in tech, but in a niche industry Japan is famous for. No, not the 風俗 one.

Never got any problem with japanese people during all my trips, and women seem to like me given what happened last trip. Men too for that matter.
The main problem will be finding a apartment. And I've got a cat.

What is "back home"?
I want a programming job but nobody would hire me, even within the last four years. I applied for so many plaves but nobody even considered me because i dont have connections and didnt go to a "top" university :(

>>2815612
I mean, if I came from a country where literally everyone had the exact same color of hair except for the old people, I would dye it too.

Nigerian bar owners in Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Roppongi contact the Nigerian Embassy in Japan when they are caught by the police.
The Nigerian embassy, tamed by the Nigerians in Japan, immediately contacts the home government. The Nigerian government, through diplomatic channels, protested to the Japanese government, claiming serious racial discrimination.
The Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs asked the National Police Agency (NPA) not to cause any trouble. The National Police Agency, in response to this request, instructs the competent police station to handle the matter amicably.
The local police department forgoes prosecution and releases them with only an admonition. A sense of resignation prevails among the police officers in the field that there is no use in arresting them.

In Japan, India is recognized as the home of curry, and Indian food is a major foreign cuisine along with French, Italian, and Chinese food, but it is a well-known fact that most of its chefs are Nepalese, Bangladeshi, and Sri Lankan.
It is just as true that most chefs in foreign sushi restaurants are Chinese, Korean, or Vietnamese. Just as the few authentic Japanese sushi chefs abroad show off authentic sushi, the few authentic Indian chefs in Japan show off authentic Indian cuisine.

A lot of anons asking about dating/cooming. I posted this in /pol/ but they're all hopeless retards.

Yes, white guys do quite well in Japan. However, the same general rule applies - if you can't get laid here, you likely won't get laid there. However, prostitution is legal there if you're that desperate.

I was a zogbot stationed at Yokota. If you're not a fat redditor and take care of yourself and you'll clean up. Did absolutely phenomenal over there. Also, the Japanese tradwide is a meme. Japanese women will cheat at the drop of a hat, so don't marry them. They're also quite materialistic. They'll expect to be in control of your finances, and they're very focused on fashion and money.

In Japanese society, if you're a woman and not settled down by your late 20s it's seen as shameful. This leads to a lot of quiet desperation out of women. Suicide rate is insane over there.

The Japanese are also truly a conundrum. Societally, it IS looked down upon to date and marry non-Japanese. Yes, even western white men, which are generally seen as the S-tier of foreigners (you can be mad about it, pajeet, it's true), is still not seen as a good thing. This leads to my next point:

Japanese women generally dislike Japanese men. Japanese men, despite being socially awkward workaholics, tend to treat their women like shit. In the US if there was this relationship dynamic it would likely end in divorce. They like western guys for this reason. We are a little more romantic. We get to skip their autistic courting rituals. It's easier on the dating apps there which actually don't suck. Japanese women would rather just meet you in your apartment and let you creampie them than take you out on a date where she'll be seen by other Japanese and judged by them, even though they all do the same fucking thing.

There's a non-zero possibility that I have deposited some Elliot Rogers all around western Tokyo.

High temperatures are not only a Japanese phenomenon, but a global phenomenon.

>>2816462
The ideal foreigner is a wealthy foreign raised Japanese man. Western relationship ideals and pocketbook, Japanese sensibilities and culture.

Is the view when arriving in Japan from the plane worth it? All that hype about being able to see Fuji got me curious. I'll be landing in Narita after all, but I'm not sure if I should pay that extra 40$ for the window seat on a 2 hour flight.

It's ok but then you land and see Indians everywhere and it just ruins your entire holiday.

That's not a "random rural town". There's an SMBC Prestia(used to be CITI bank, now "SMBC" but focused on foreigner clients, I know because I have an account with them) branch, which means it's the middle of Tokyo.
This is what a "random rural town" looks like and they all look the same.
Do small streets with a row of Cherry Blossom trees exist here? Yes, they exist in every single town. In fact you get bored of them because they're everywhere in the country side.

In the same rural town, less than 3 km away from that screenshot. Here's a heavily edited high contrast picture of a park while the flowers are in full bloom.
Point I'm trying to make is any town looks like this during the right season, and I am being literal when I say any town - just search for 桜街道 near you.
Whether or not that town has anything else you that might enjoy is a different story, but given that this is an anime underwear 3d printing website, I'm sure incelwalking at 0100 in the middle of nowhere is considered true(tm) Japanese Empire off the beaten path "I'm not your typical tourist" traveler experience.

I don't remember claiming that they're being kept afloat by foreign customers. I said they're focused on foreigner. They're the only bank in Japan where you can walk into any branch and be immediately greeted with English speaking staff.

You simply cannot be satisfied unless the inside of the train is very cold.
Some of the ladies in the officees even wear cardigans, saying that the air conditioning temperature is too low, even at 26 degrees Celsiu.

Third time in Tokyo, with some new people. Looking for some thoughts on my rough itinerary.
Day 1: I usually do Shibuya+Shinjuku but while I like Shibuya I am not a fan Shinjuku. Think I will do just Shibuya at a leisurely pace.
Day 2: Never been to Ikebukuro, interested in the anime stuff even if it's largely female oriented. There's also a festival on 28th apparently.
Day 3: Asakusa I'll do quickly with my friends, then spend a while in Akiba, probably do a S;G pilgrimage with them.
Day 4: I've got no clue what to do. Thinking about maybe going to Hanno for a bit of nature/Yama no Susume, but looking for recommendations.
Day 5: One night trip to Hakone, hopefully see Fuji if weather is good, enjoy the onsen.
Day 6: Group splits up, I commute back to Tokyo solo, probably just take it easy. Open to recs.
Day 7: Head to Kamakura as I've never been.
Day 8: On the fence about Yokohama, I've never been but not sure how interesting it will be. Maybe try to get to Mogra for matrix in the evening.

If so, it is out of the norm in Japan.

Let me guess, you were there pre covid. Different ballgame now

>>2816611
I’m 99% sure I had some young girls take a photo of my sweaty back the other day when they were behind me in line at the station. Heard the camera go and everything. Had just finished lumping a heavy ass duffle bag several kilometres across town under punishing sun and all the way through a big ass station (why don’t they have fucking trolleys btw). I’m pretty fit too, not some fat slob weeb. I’m probably on some gaijin hate page now ToT

Street was loud enough and she was far enough away enough to where I wouldn't be able to hear it.

My flight will be arriving at 22:00 in December at Haneda. I don't know how long customs might be, nor do I know how much time I'd have to check into an actual hotel. should I opt to book a hotel at the airport for the night? Or get raped by taxi fees trying to reach a proper hotel.

>>2816692
>how long customs might be
It various. Last May it took me like 2 hours, but I think they redid some processes and when I got to the country back on the 20th. It took me like 20 minutes.
>how much time I'd have to check into an actual hotel
Most hotels have a 24 hour desk
>should I opt to book a hotel at the airport for the night? Or get raped by taxi fees trying to reach a proper hotel.
Depends on what is your plan for your trip. If your entire trip is in the center of Tokyo, then I suggest taking it up the ass and pay the taxi fee because the alternative is to get spitroasted by paying for just one night at the nearby hotel and the miserable experience of dragging your luggage to the next hotel (or piss more money on airporter to forward luggage to another hotel which is like changing one dildo for another )

Also, I don't know where you're coming from, but you sure you don't want to include potential winter storm delays into your plan?

Boy am i glad i took a pic of this months before i devoured it.
The brown triangles on the right were filled with rice, but what's the brown? It was very sweet, moist and felt like soggy pastry.
If it was tofu, i swear to god i dont know how much % of sugar it was. I dont like tofu but that was great and i want more.

>>2816698
It’s called Inari tofu. You can buy it at most Asian grocery stores in pre-made pouches to fill with rice. Yes it has sugar in it but not so much.

I took the suggestion from one of you guys and went to the Rames the Great Exhibit today. It was....enjoyable

>>2813904
Hey guys.. if I would live in Japan for a year or two to study and had to choose between Osaka and Tokyo, what would you recommend? I like meeting people and walking around n stuff

Thinly sliced tofu is fried in oil, simmered in onions sauce, mirin, and sugar, and filled with vinegared rice.

Might have made an error here lads
Got 3 days to myself before my gf arrives in Tokyo, we're staying together in Ueno. As it's easy to get from the airport I figured I'd stay in an APA in Ueno and then when she gets here we'd switch hotels. Wondering now if I should have gone somewhere else.

Also we want to do some 'adult' stuff - go to a love hotel, sex shops, burlesque etc but that stuff isn't covered by the 'degeneracy' section of the OP, anyone got any good resources beyond >Reddit on stuff to see?

>>2816731
>Also we want to do some 'adult' stuff
Kabukicho and Akihabara to a lesser extent. Donki has a sex toys section too. Go to the zoo while you're in Ueno, they have giant pandas.

>>2816733
Thanks, already got a couple of sex shops on my list, one in Akihabara, and also Asakusa Rockza

>>2816652
Cycling in Tokyo by bicycle

>>2816731
stay somewhere else like where there are more degen things to do or what?

>>2816748
Sorry I should have said treat those as two separate statements.

1. Should I stay somewhere else for the days on my own for a bit of variety (and if so where)

2. Are there any fun adult things (short of things like swinging) people can recommend for us to do?

>>2816731
>>2816750
Also I'm currently booked to be staying in an APA because it's cheap but I've heard some horror stories, anyone here had experience with them?

>>2816698
>Boy am i glad i took a pic of this months before i devoured it.
>months before i devoured it

Anyone been to Kawagoe? Considering sleeping there one night on my way back from kanazawa

>>2816731
Pop Life in Akihabara is a nice sex shop
with the large number of tourists it can be a bit too crowded for my tastes, so maybe go at a time when there is still few tourists

>>2816776
Thanks will check it out

>>2816762
APA has been fine for me, if you read “horror” stories its just redditors seething because the owner is openly Japanese Nationalist and includes pamphlets in the rooms (short stories and manga) but theyre tucked away with all the other random docs you find in hotel rooms, not very apparent.

the actual only thing I dont like about APA is check out is 10 AM.

but the good things are they are cheap but still good standard of rooms/cleanliness, always able to find one in good locations and free JAV on the TV

>>2816786
Sweet man sounds good, I don't plan to be in the room much anyways - thanks

>>2816762
so far every APA has been a good experience for me. the only possible exception to that rule had been my own fault when i had booked into a smoker room accidentally

>>2816790
Yeah I've just looked and I'm in a smoking room - considering changing as I don't want all of my clothes to smell like fags

>>2816567
reminds me of the chinks that have this habit of leaving their luggage everywhere, even on other cars on the shinkansen

>>2816731
>girlfriend wants to go to burlesque show
I hate girls like this. My gf is the same. She acts like she's into girls but she's not bisexual and isn't actually attracted to them at all. I don't get why she does it.

>>2816567
If you were to take his phone and throw it what would happen?

>>2816802
to brag to her weirdo friends, obviously

>>2816806
No but I mean for example she will say "let's go to the burlesque show there's pretty girls there [heart eyes][heart eyes][heart eyes]"

>>2816813
>hey anon lets go see pretty girls ;) ;) ;)
Maybe its an attention thing and shes hoping you will say "yeah theyre pretty, but not as pretty as you babe harr harr" or maybe she gets horny when she sees you checking womens out
You do understand women are retarded right anon? Anyway, tell us more about your gf and the dummy stuff she says

>>2816456
It can be just the fact that a foreigner was looking at weeb shit, maybe it was novel to her.
I have a weeb friend who's obsessed with some anime character, if I saw a girl staring at a figurine of that character, I think a pic of that would elicit quite a reaction from my friend so I'd feel compelled to take it and share it with him. Not particularly to laugh at her mind you but just for the weirdness of the situation.
Not that I'd actually take pics of people, and I'm not saying she did it for the same reasons, my sister is quite a bitch who'd take pics of balding guys to laugh in her group chat so I assume women are more likely to do that, but I'm just putting the possibility out there.

>>2816816
imaging caring if some slant takes a pic of you.
you wont see it or her ever again fr

>>2816696
Shit, I guess I will then. Thanks, I mainly plan on staying in Tokyo but I'll be going to Nagoya for a day too
>winter storm delays
Midwest, so taking a plane to Chicago. I think I'll be fine since I'm leaving in early December, it's coming back that I'll have to be concerned about.

>>2816815
>hoping I'll compliment her
Maybe. Idk. But I don't tell her because I don't want to be with her anymore.

>>2816786
This. Just seething redditors. APA is fine.

>>2816742
Oh good idea, haven't tried that yet. Which area do you think is best for that?

>>2816742
>bicycle tokyo
Do u just buy a cheap one? What are some chill routes or paths to ride?
Do cuties wave at you?

What's a good rent price to aim for for an apartment around Tokyo? like 800 with utility? Planning to go study there for 6 months next spring. Pretty excited. Loved my first 2 visits there, saw Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, Tokyo being my fav
>>2816786
the free jav at APA was very funny to see

>>2816731
the rockza in Asakusa is pretty good, they do group dance shows with full nude strips between every dance. I think it was like 60 USD per person. you basically sit in metal school chairs but other than that its great

Tokyo sucks to bike in don’t get fooled. You are either in the bike lane courting death because there is a delivery truck parked in the bike lane every twenty metres forcing you onto the main road or you are on the sidewalk having to weave through an infinite swarm of people and old retards on their bikes who despite having ridden bicycles in Tokyo for seventy years still seem determined to crash into you

>>2816867
You're too self-conscious! Nobody gives a shit about you.

any worthwhile latino festivals? I've been really into asians that speak spanish lately.

>>2816927
You don't have to cycle on the main streets, it's the slow cycling on the back streets that is the fun and discovery

>>2816867
You can use a shared bike or rent a bike.
Both have their advantages and disadvantages, so choose the one that best suits your needs.

This time Nigeria went too far by lying to Nigerians that Japan was handing out special visas and giving everybody free healthcare and houses, that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs had to immediately issue a statement.

Facts Regarding the “JICA Africa Hometown” August 25, 2025

>Regarding the “JICA Africa Hometown” announced by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) at the TICAD 9, there have been reports and statements both domestically and internationally that contain information contrary to the facts. The facts regarding this matter are as follows:

>At the TICAD 9, JICA announced the launch of the “JICA Africa Hometown”, which aims to strengthen exchanges between African countries and Japanese local governments based on the experience gained through its previous projects. Under this program, four cities in Japan are designated as “home towns” for four African countries.

>Under this program, JICA plans to promote exchanges between the four Japanese cities and the four African countries through various activities, including the organization of exchange events involving JICA overseas cooperation volunteers.

>On the other hand, there are no plans to take measures to promote the acceptance of immigrants or issue special visas for residents of African countries, and the series of reports and announcements concerning such measures are not true.

>The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan will continue to make efforts to ensure that appropriate reporting and statements regarding this matter are carried out.

like another anon said theres pop life sex store in akiba

theres the Muscle Girls bar in Ikebukuro where the girls will slap you for 5 dollars and squeeze a pineapple into your mouth. theres probably a a male version but not sure where

in shinjuku theres the 27 Kissa Club that puts on shows, covers like 20-30 bucks https://www.instagram.com/reel/C40LemjS2Iy/

in shibuya theres Wild 1 another adult store

Condomania in shibuya parco sells condoms
