Practice the blockchain.

Japan is notorious for having lots of unique and super unique boss packs but the loot table is level 85.

Take some judo courses stateside, train in each town you visit, and end your stay at the Kodokan Institute in Tokyo.

You should both start a 90 day fast since you are both likely morbidly obese. This will help you fit into things like chairs, toilets, showers, even cans and public transport, which are not designed with morbidly obese Americans in mind.

This. Japan HATES fat foreigners. They make everything intentionally painful for fat foreigners. They will roll out the red carpet for a sumo wrestler. But they will treat a fat American like a leper or a rabid dog.

A lot of Americans carry literally everywhere and forget that even civilized people have had their right to bear arms denied. People forget how unique we are as a nation.

>>2819458
Not a bad idea at all. High-protein calorie-deficit diet with a strength training program might be better for body recomposition. >>>/fit/76077351 >>>/fit//fat/

>lbs
Body fat percentage would be more relevant. You can look disgusting at 170lbs if you're short and/or have subnormal muscle mass from a sedentary lifestyle.

>They will roll out the red carpet for a sumo wrestler. But they will treat a fat American like a leper or a rabid dog.
Sumo wrestlers live lives of discipline dedicated to Japanese culture. Most fat people are fat due to moral failings. It's a valid approach.

The majority of my pants are sized to accommodate an inside-the-waistband holster and do not fit me correctly if I'm not carrying.

I'm just gonna say it, because I have been there too, but that dot for Koya-san is incredibly off.

Following the route in OP PICTURE, should I get a travel pass for 700$?
>>
>>2820643
It's for 21 days

Should I just pay for individual routes?
>>
>>2819188
Plan out things you want to see and do in each city, and create a travel schedule, and research transportation to each city.
Lots of cool cultural, religious, food and nightlife things in each city.
You don't really have to prepare, as its easy to figure everything out with google maps and google translate.

Don't get the JR Pass, unless you're going to the tail end of Sukuoka all the way up to Hokkaido and back five times in a row, that thing isn't worth the cost anymore. They doubled the price, then doubled it again. It's simply not worth it.

Get a outlet adaptor, since Japan uses Type A.

Sunscreen is your friend.

Be ready to walk a lot. 10km a day.

There's fucking nothing to do in Hiroshima, you're literally a poser for going there, but you do you.

Book fancy restaurants in advance. You can often get cheaper prices for it even.

Do Americans think British police don't have guns? Even in airports?
>>
>>2819188
How and why did foreigners suddenly find Koyasan. It's overwhelmed with them and every retard is going there now. A few years back, nobody outside Japan knew about it.

It's a shitpost webcomic about the prevalence of unarmed police officers in Britain contrasted with the demographic represented by an older American wearing a cowboy hat and bolo tie carrying a gun as habitually as he'd carry his wallet or house keys (like that guy in the news article, or me).

I'm personally aware of the existence of AFOs and that the rate at which officers receive that authorization varies by department, with some smaller departments having a 100% authorization rate and some larger departments significantly lower. I would wager most Americans don't think about British police or their armaments at all. To most of the country the UK is some obscure island on the other side of the world smaller than 11 of our states and not really relevant to much of anything outside of history class, Monty Python quotes, and doing funny accents. If you find an American with strong opinions on police in the UK they're probably chronically online in political spaces pertaining to free speech, right to bear arms, or right to privacy.

Kyoto overflow. That part of japan south of kansai got viralled by influencers, eg kumano kodo, nachi falls etc.
Foreigner accessibility to rural areas also increased by the JTB, tech savvy younger crowd know how to book shit online etc etc etc

Hiroshima does have some shit, but totally not worth it as a detour. Spend more time in greater kansai, there still tons to see there within 1-1.5 hours by train
