>>2829258>retard doesn't know this board has a 500 post limit
>>2829272Plus, the guy got screwed on the washing machines description.
>>2829258At least make the title in English, that pic makes it even harder to tell it's a Japanese thread.
im going in 4 days bros, what should i eat?
>>2829347mexican food
>>2829348Fujihana shokudo is amazing, mexican food restaurant owned and operated by a Japanese guy who went to mexico twice.
>>2829347Carl's Jr., all day everyday.
>>2829272Is it you in the pic, faggot?
>>2829347whale
>>2829297You can't guess that it's japanese, you fucking retard?
>>2829297>jp in the title >it could be china broheh
>>2829373Nah, go for McDonald's and Taco Bell for the true Japanese experience
i don't want this fat faggot to talk about politics with his libtard nip friend. i'd rather never go to japan again than see it pimped out to baka gaijin and filled with jeets
>>2829427Who's that?
>>2829428abroad in japan on yt
>>2829432praying he gets a broad machete introduced to him by an imigrant he's so fond of (vietnamese doing the jobs japanese people just won't do, violent crime against other foreigners)
>>2829258I'm thinking about visiting Hokkaido for a week in February. Would Sapporo be worth visiting as my first time in Japan or is there nothing to do? I want cold weather but would it be too cold? I am looking at not spending too much money so I really do not want to visit Tokyo for that reason.
>>2829347if you're this retarded, you shouldn't be going
>>2829347I'm going in January, I'm already autistically planning out meal in a spreadsheet, finding good places on Tabelog and getting reservations. I'm a gaijin sushi chef so I want to make best use of my time there and to try as many different meals as possible.
>>2829442I'm going to Hokkaido for the first time in February, but I'm snowboarding five days and hopping between Niseko/Otaru/Sapporo. Between Feb 4th and 11th is the snow festival in Sapporo, hotel prices are expensive in Sapporo around the festival.
>>2829405I went to the tacobell in Shibuya and their meat tasted better than the american.
holy FUK I did not realize how many jeets are in Fukuoka. jesus man
>>2829534>I went to corea, japan and now it was delhi heh
>>2829534How bad was it?
>>2829550NTA but i went there and didnt see many at all. Most amount of indians i saw were any shrine in kyoto, and of course 7/11 staff anywhere.I did see this fukoka cat by a shrine though.
>>2829534isn't that just any bigger japanese city now? I was in japan in 2015 and last year and the influx of smelly browns is really insane, I thought that my home country turned brown but it fades in comparison to how brown japan became in just under 10 years
>>2829347I'm going in 4 days as well. Haven't been in fall yet so I will definitely try a tsukimi burger at makkudonarudo. What you should eat depends on what you like, or rather what you don't like, that usually makes it easier. I've yet to have a bad experience at a restaurant so just try anywhere. I like set meals and rice bowls so these places are good: Men's Dinner, Women's Lunch Kitchenキッチン 男の晩ごはん女の昼ごはん near Ekoda stationTonkatsu Marushichi
>>2829466what should i eat anon?
>>2829620gyoza no ohsho
I'm such a bitch in a lot of ways. I find it hard to push myself to leave my place and go eat because I don't want to intrude or be a nuisance since I've seen all the stuff about foreigners. plus not being able to speak the language. I'm sitting here hungry because I don't want to go to 7-11 anymore but I just feel so awkward walking into sit down establishments. holy F what is wrong with me... I just want to please people and idk if I chose the right place to be
>>2829641>find place with ticket machine/english digital menus at the table>order your shit>eat>pay and leaveit's literally that easy
>>2829641Learn the language then. You have to differenciate yourself from Johnny Somali. Wear a white shirt, speak japanese and you're good.Now you know what it's like to live as a decent black man in the West, starting with a -10 reputation because of niggers who look like you.
>>2829641ichiran
>>2829641If you're white, just go, they don't mind. If you're brown, go back to your country. NOBODY wants you here.
>>2829641You can order anything and get it delivered to your room :D
>>2829534I find it hard to believe that you people are genuinely this upset about foreigners visiting Japan when you yourself are part of that foreigner group. But then again, 4chan does love making everything about themselves, blaming it on the jews, the jeets and le trannys
>>2829675I get upset seeing jeets anywhere in the world bro
>>2829675>visitingjeets can't afford to travel, the ones you see in japan are more often than not living there
>>2829641Eh, Japan is ultra easymode for this. Don't need a work of Japanese to shop at a conbini. Restaurants are very accommodating to solo diners and english menus are plentiful. I spent a month in central Europe earlier this year and I went from 76kg to 65, all because I was too anxious to go out and eat to I basically survived on supermarket bread. Early in my trip I had a bad experience in Switzerland where I didn't know how restaurants work (apparently you're just meant to walk in a sit down somwhere, I stood around waiting for someone to seat me and was ignored for 10 min). The staff were rude and the food was expensive and shit. Japan is paradise in comparison.
>travel around Japan 15 years ago>want to go to Fukuoka again because of how pleasant I remember the people being>see this >>2829534Please fucking tell me you're joking or exaggerating.>>2829534I can't enjoy anything because everything is shit now.
>>2829681This isn't true, India has 1.5 billion citizens, even a comparably small upper-middle class that can afford travel amounts to an unholy number of people
>>2829534>FUK>FukuokaI see what you did there.
>>2829675Fucking kill yourself jeet. No one likes your kind. You will never be welcomed and I hope your life is always made hell. Stay in your shit country
>>2829675japanese people hate jeets too
I go to Taiwan and Okinawa in 3 weeks time please no typhoon
Who the fuck changed the thread edition formatGod>>2829641Just go to a ramen, udon, beef bowl, curry etc. place, the locals eat out solo all the time. Sumimasen goes really far. Most places nowadays have iPads or similar electronic ordering for linguistically impaired people.Order in from Wolt or uber eats. Some hotels have partnership pizza places and you can catch a deal from them.I just want to emphasize that you're quite literally in the country of the socially accepted busy solo diner, salarymen, otakus etc hit quick meal restaurants alone all the time
I ve been to japan multiple times and im almost done with N4 japanese. I really really want to solo drink and bar hop. talk with the locas and whatnot but despite that im still super super shy. Wtf do i do. Do I just chug 1-3 beers before going out???weird p.s i also love the cute crossdressers all over japan
>>2829620Eat shit.
>>2829719Get wasted on strong zero, then go.Do you actually live in Japan?
>>2829620eat the rich
>>2829641are you schizophrenic bro?watch vagrant holiday in Japan. Japs don't give a fuck lol
>>2829743no, about to go for my fifth time.and im probably gonna stay 3 months there in about a year for language just for funsies
>>2829641>don't want to go to 7-11 anymoreDon't.familymart, lawson, ministop and even daily yamazaki have better slop options, hell, even maruetsu and life supermarkets do.Street vendors are also too used to gaijin they might even talk to you in english, so look for food stalls in matsuris or shrines
I last went to Japan in 2018, and am going this Novemeber. I can't for the life of me remember what I did money-wise. I'm sure I didn't just take all of my cash out in one go. What would you call a card that you can load with money then withdraw from fee-free?
>>2829776japanese debit card
>>2829776credito caadoo
>but population declineJUST SAY NO TO IMMIGRATION>but workers for elderlyJUST SAY NO TO IMMIGRATION>but economic growthJUST SAY NO TO IMMIGRATION
>>2829814Number needs to go up
>>2829814I agree they should keep their economy stagnant so I can keep visiting on the cheap every year.
>>2829823>keep their economy stagnantBetter than having millions of jeets dragging the economy down
>>2829823Around 2011, the yen was about 80 yen to the dollar and reached a high of 75 yen.The value of the yen has dropped by half since then.
>>2829641What the hell have you done in Japan!
>>2829641>All these repliesYou doing good now 24 hours later?Did you eat?
>>2829527kek. I randomly found it while walking and people were taking photos of the restaurant. Kinda wish I went in for something small. >>2829641Buddy, I saw a big fat dark neckbeard solo traveling in japan. Anime pins all over his backpack. heavy breathing, socks and saddles. If this guy could than so could you.
Whenever you find yourself thinking "I'm in Japan and I want to do XYZ, but is it OK? Would people be annoyed?" just imagine an Indian doing that very same thing in front of you and how you would feel in that situation. Using this "Indian-framing" technique that I've invented, you too can smoothly navigate the murky waters of Japanese social etiquette.
>>2829905you can do the same imagining the two goofs in the OP with their SEGA t-shirts and shit.
I feel unwelcome in Shinjuku Gyoen, people notice that this is not the natural habitat of my race.
So are we going to do a meetup or what fags? Which cat-cafe in Akihabars should it be at?
>>2829916allow yourself some peace, relax
>>2829922When
Fuck man, I wish I had an otaku buddy or two to go to Japan with and obsess over weeb shit. Maybe fuck some whores on the side and just have a good time together. Would be the coolest shit, but I don't have good friends like that.
>>2830005Nothing stopping you from going alone, most of what you said is better solo anyway
>>2830016I've been contemplating that, but the bar seems so high. Never went anywhere solo.
>>2830018of all the plasces, japan will be the easiest to be alone. its literally their culture at this point.burned out from a days exploring? you have that solo ramen shit they do, english ticket machines everywhere so you don't need to speakprivate onsens, out-call JAV hookers that come to your airbnb and lick your bumim going back asap whether my homies book with me or not desu
>>2830019Yeah, I've heard it before, but it's still a big step. I'll get around to it though, I think. I just feel like it would be better to experience all of that with a bro or two
>>2830020God speed, i hope you get there and experience paradise either way
>>2830021Thanks anon. Any tips especially when it comes to fucking?
>>2830022kek[spoiler]i used the links up top and reached out using watsapp, most of em have a numberJust text it asking about girl x and go from therealternatively you can just turn up if its an incall place and they flick through whoever is available.Go for 90 minutes at least, its nice to have a chat with them.[/spoiler]you could also just go to a club and play asian roulette, most of what i encountered was koreans though
>>2830023fug
>>2830023What about those girls standing in a line with their phones out?
>>2830025quick way to get robbed or sick desumassage places and soaplands have mandatory testing, the 16 year old in okubo doesn't. And she will probably run away with your money after pulling down your pants kek
>>2830026Good to know. Never knew about mandatory testing in soaplands. Makes me feel much better about them now.

Any tips for getting good drugs while in Tokyo? Coke or smn
any recommendations for like a day trip from tokyo or osaka to like a cool area with less tourism?
>>2830023The first one I did the girl had a bad attitude and was kinda ugly, the second one the girl was nice but was kinda uglyAny advice on improving the chances of getting a good one?
>>2829954>meetup time and day Idk, today , tomorrow or the next day could work for me. I was joking about the cat-cafe being the the meeting point but I am not opposed to it
>>2830083I'm there from Thursday if you're still around. I suggest this place:Bar OPK near Nishi Ogikubo stationPlays city pop/80s type shit. I went earlier this year and it was pretty good, owner is chill.
>see some black on tiktok complaining of racism as all the blacks in his comments say they arent going there nowwe need to have this now happen to indians and the country will be saved
>>2830106A little far for me but that bar sounds nice. Not sure if im leaving thirsday or friday yet.
>>2830107>Be a racist loser that can only feel that they have worth by complaining about minorities and having to run away from all the people that speak their language and know they are a loser
Has anyone been to Ginza Onsen? Any tips for where to book?
Anyone run into a restaurant or bar that bans foreigners?
>>2830134>ginza onsenNo but have u checked ryokans on booking>>>2830166>blacks bannedI only wish>>2830120Stay mad and remember that you dislike black communities as well. We know you dont live near them
>>2830166how would we run inside one if foreigners are banned
>>2830120The darker your complexion, the less your value as a human being is. Fuck black and brown people. They ruin everything they touch. It is only natural to hate them and want to gatekeep them from civilization, especially a “walled garden” like Japan.
>>2830175I'm pretty sure one of you is a jap.
>>2830134>Ginza OnsenGinzan?
>>2830166There's a happening bar that bans all foreigners including naturalized, women with bmi above 25, people above 40
>>2830222Yes, sorry>>2830172booking dot com has nothing within Ginzan Onsen itself
>>2830227But I want a woman over 40 with a BMI above 25
>>2830107Well Im racist towards any indian I see so hopefully that helps
Got a new upstairs neighbor in my マンション, could hear them moving in all day yesterday. Didn't manage to get a look at them when I went out to do my grocery shopping. But I think it's a woman. The last time I had neighbors move in they came to introduce themselves and actually came to my door on two occasions to bring me a gift (I wasn't home the first time). Ironically it was the most Yakuza-looking couple you could imagine, skinny chinpira-looking guy with an almost comically thick, perfectly styled flat top and covered in Japanese-style tattoos, his wife looked like she'd recently retired from being a lifelong gyaru and was now transitioning into a new style. Really nice people though, and quiet as mice. They only stayed for one year. This one hasn't done that. Quite rude desu. Japan has fallen.
I bought loli porn and have a layover in Canada on my flight home am I ok
>>2830243owarida
Redpill me on Kitakyushu lads
>>2830250>am I okLeaf here. You’re probably fine. There’s only a small risk, if you have to clear customs again while in Canada. Even then, I would be surprised if the legal status of loli is on CATSA’s radar. For complete safety (among other reasons), you should throw it in the trash, you disgusting pig person.
>>2830250If they do stop you it's jail time so if you feel like you're going to go through immigration you should toss it in the bathroom
Just got back from nearly a month of travel in Japan. Honestly would not go back. I found Tokyo to be a highly overrated dystopian city. I don't really see the hype desu. I ended up completely changing my plans a week in and going elsewhere in the country to explore, rented a car and all was the best decision I made honestly.
>>2830285Why do you feel that way?
>>2830287Just didn't like it man. it honestly felt boring after awhile and all the flashiness of it is just a way to distract you from that. The people also just felt boring. I found traveling outside of Toyko to be far more enjoyable, especially the smaller villages.
>>2830290What did you do in tokyo
>>2830285>>2830290Tokyo is an atypical globohomo city. If you have traveled to other large cities in the world, Tokyo only feels slightly different.I had much greater time in the cities that Tokyo or Tokyo adjacent
>>2830326I know exactly where this is
>>2830329I too enjoy finding pics/vids and knowing exactly where it is.
Headed back to Japan on Thursday. Sunday is when I begin my great Shikoku roadtrip. I'm admittedly more nervous this go around. My life is a bit chaotic right now so this trip is pretty inconvenient time wise. However I'm happy to get some peace and quiet. Any other anons understand my feeling of not being as excited the 2nd time? I'm happy i'm going as I need a break from life, but a year has passed since I last went to Japan and did the usual golden path.
>>2830333Are you going alone?
>>2830336Yep. I did last time too. Had an amazing time. However about 3 days in total I'll be spending with people I'm friends with over there.
>>2830257has a reputation as a dangerous city. as in, it had the most violent crime per capita of any city in japan for several years up until recently. they're trying to clean up the image tho. i've been there twice, for a random non-prefectural capital city it's surprisingly big. the local specialty is yaki curry - curry served in a clay bowl and finished with a layer of cheese and a few minutes under the broiler so the cheese layer can get nice and gooey. really good. there's a cozy waterfront area with western style buildings and a really big museum that i didn't go into, also apparently famous for having a nice view of the city from the local mountains (again, didn't go to see personally, but my friend has gone and he corroborates this)i never got a chance to go to the nightlife district outside of daylight hours so i can't comment on any of that stuff but it seemed pretty standardtons of koreans and chinese as well. when i went the second time my friend and i sat down at a pretty busy yaki curry restaurant and two koreans in business suits sat next to us, they proceeded to immediately spill a jar of pickled stuff and instead of calling the staff or trying to clean it up they just got up and moved to another seat. couldn't believe what i was seeing
>>2830333Nice anon. Make sure you take lots of pics and have good hiking shoes.
>>2830350not that anonCan't go wrong with hiking. It's like hiking in the states, but you're in Japan. unironically. very fun.
>>2830250Japan is considered a low risk country so most likely they won't even scan your shit if you're just passing through and just transfer your checked bags automatically. If it's a Carry on they didn't X-ray anything I had last year so you still should be fine.
I fly to Tokyo on the 15th, the city is so big and overwhelming I don't even know where to start in terms of things to do or places to stay lol
>>2830370Shinjuku if you are a degenerate shibuya if you are a normie
>>2830370In Tokyo, there are events happening somewhere every day, so it's a good idea to get out and explore.What makes Tokyo truly special is that on your way to or from these event venues, you'll often stumble upon unexpected and interesting spots.In fact, I’d almost recommend getting intentionally lost in Tokyo!https://tokyofesta.com/#
>>2830370Ginza line. Just pick a station at random and you will have fun
>>2830343Koreans are actually pretty bad mannered to my surprise. Theyre thieving bastards too, I dont get it
>>2830370Ikebukuro if you want a normal day time vibe with absolutely degen night time vibes that imo can surpass Kabukicho. Mainly due to the high Triad presence there
Well I wish someone warned me how gross Shinjuku is. Im just glad I did not see any of these animals in any onsens
>>2830250>am leaf returning from Japan>have a fucking ton of anime merch from CGDCT anime (none of it was pornographic though)>get called in for secondary inspection>shit absolute bricks trying to make small talk while this border gaurd is pulling out shit like my kanna cushion cover, lucky star figurines, and non non biyori mangasometimes I envy Americans not having to deal with this shit
>>2830350Appreciate it fren. This trips marks the beginning of the next stage of life for me, i'll be making the most of it
>>2830446Let me guess, the animals are black people? How riveting
Any tips for finding cheap hotels in Tokyo? I speak a bit of Japanese if it helps
>>2830477Book in Winter
>>2830477Go to any 5 star hotel, do the secret samurai bow and then talk in the very polite form like "taihen kashikomarimashita, fukaku kansha moushiagemasu" instead of "arigatou goazimasu", then retire while still facing them and bowing two more times while going to your room.
>>2830477There are no "tips" and tricks when it comes to accommodation in a large, popular, and touristy city. Go to an aggregate site, go directly to the hotel's website, call the hotel, compare prices.That's what jews would like you to think, but there are two secret ways to get the prices reduced, the first one has already been posted by >>2830495I'll share the second and arguably easier option which can be done at home>open private tab>search for a hotel 1 week before your planned stay>close private private tab>repeat 69 times>now do a back flip exactly 21 times>but on every 3rd back flip, do a cartwheelViola your hotel and flights are now 99% cheaper. Don't dismiss this trick unless you've already tried it.
>>2830497>>but on every 3rd back flip, do a cartwheelIt's the hardest part, you have 50% chances killing yourself, but it's worth it.
Landing in Tokyo Haneda almost made me sick. Hordes of ameriblobs and hispandex creatures in line for immigration, reminded me of Disney World with how the line looked. Was really nice whiplash once I transferred to the domestic terminal and they immediately vanished. Is it really that bad now where every major destination has become a foreigner-occupied zoo? Kyoto seemed like a nice place to visit once, but now I get the impression that everyone is there to see things and so the thing itself is no longer worth seeing thanks to crowds.
>>2830522>omg are tourists hubs filled with tourists?Low IQ mutt
Was in Japan for six months from November 2024 to May 2025 and I'm already planning another month from March 2026 to April. I was hoping that those six months would have made me fulfilled about Japan but they didn't. I miss the food. I miss the cheap booze. I miss Tokyo and the excellent trains. I miss going to random bars and having Japanese dudes practice their English at me. Fuck I hate the UK
>>2830522>is it a brown zooJust depends where your at but i was glad that the hordes of shaqueeshas and taneekwas at the airport only appear occasionallyI do hope they will at least change their loud dumb culture a little bit, once they experience a culture that doesnt talk on speakerphone everywhere and litter everywhere
>>2830532Is the Sterling Pound more valuable than the Yen? How are Bongs so rich despite the news saying your country is sinking?
>>2830555>How are Bongs so rich despite the news saying your country is sinking?We aren't rich. The country is genuinely sinking. I just work minimum wage jobs (£1600/month) and it's enough to save (I live at my parents) so I can keep going to Japan.
Going for 2 weeks starting the 18th. Could just be algorithm slop but how much has tokyo changed when it comes to very basic Japanese with tourists? Im not some clout chasing phone recording maggot so I shouldn't have problems right? Been a while since I went back to the tokyo area and nothing but videos of brown people being insufferable and locals throwing tourists out.
>>2830579Sorry to break it to you but no one likes white pigs either in japan. You can stop pretending it's a brown issue only.
>>2830532what did you do for 6 months in japan? isn't accommodation very expensive there?
>>2830579Stay in your fucking country you racist, fascist, white pig. You should be loving the negroes you worship so much
if I am planning to stay in Japan for a while, where would it be best to exchange my money at? My country, the airport once I arrive in Japan, currency exchange shop in Japan or some other option?>inb4 you could just you use your bank card or go to a konbini broI did that last time and I absolutely raped by fees when I went back home 2 weeks later and checked the payments history
>>2830581>>2830588Shut the fuck up. Japan is the closest you can possibly get to living in a white country that isn't actually white and that makes it perfect.
>>2830588Nice get, yid.
I'm a cheap motherfucker so out of the cheap periods (January-February, June-July) which is better? I like comfy winter stuff but I'll go in summer if everything is closed or the snow is too fucked to deal with.
>>2830592>if I am planning to stay in Japan for a while, where would it be best to exchange my money at?Convenience shops / ATMs in Japan.>I did that last time and I absolutely raped by feesGet a Wise account and open a currency account in yen, transfer money to it then withdraw on the debit card. + a travel credit card that advertises the best rates (barclaycard for example)

how do I find cheap stay in Japan? preferably osaka and tokyo

What's the point of this thread if it's just shitflinging and questions answered in the OP
>>2830056luck of the draw to be honestmaybe try the ones with heaps of reviews I dunno senpai, guess I got lucky
>>2830611Perhaps....two? more weeks?
>>2830522Akihabara, Shibuya, Harujuku, Shinkuku are all hubs for foreigners. Plan yourself accordingly.
>>2830615>luck of the drawI did end up finding a good one and it was cooool
>>2830583>what did you do for 6 months in japan?Got drunk almost daily in Tokyo. Went to foreigner friendly Soaplands in Kabukicho and got my weener sucked. Met foreigners in bars and Japanese salarymen who wanted to practice their English. Travelled to different cities (Nagoya, Osaka, Fukuoka, Okinawa, Kanazawa and loads of others. Basically, I had the best time of my life. Tokyo is insane for nightlife and shit. One of my favourite things to do was just get drunk as fuck doing karaoke, then going to the batting cages to smash some balls. Rented a car and motorcycle a few times as well. Rode around Unzen-Amakusa National Park in Kyushu. Was insane.I met probably over 100 people while I was there. Went on two dates with Japanese girls but my Nihongo is really basic, (sumimasen, nama biru hitotsu onegaishemasu) level>isn't accommodation very expensive there?In Tokyo? Yeah but it depends where you stay. I had multiple stints in different Airbnbs. The ones close to everything were expensive, like £1000/month for Ikebukero. Some that were further away were cheaper. Like Kinshicho in Sumida was £800/month. Overall, I spent about £12,000 during the six months I was there. I can't wait to go back desu.
>>2830597Winter is much cheaper than summer
I miss the food the most. When I went to Fukuoka and tasted the hakata ramen, it was hard to go back to Tokyo's meh ramen places. Then I found a really good hakata ramen place in Yokohoma. 2 ramen refills kaedama as well. I went to that place pretty much daily.
>>2830629>damn bro, you sound cool as hellWhats your life like now? Back to work?
>>2830630>winter is much cheaperWith the increasing rate of tourists coming in I am wondering if it will even be cheaper this winter?January 2024 - 2.67 millionApril 2024- 3.0 millionJanuary 2025 - 3.7 millionApril 2025 3.9It must be that theres less Japanese traveling in the winter that drives the market down? Correct?
>>2830632I'm autistic as fuck mate. Being in Tokyo though, I was free to do whatever I wanted. Felt kinda liberating desu. Getting drunk also helps loosen up. If I went to Torikizoku with 6 random travellers, it'd be a bit awkward at first but once everyone had like 3 birus they all chatty as fuck. Then we'd play darts afterwards or some shit.>Whats your life like now? Back to work?It's the complete opposite. My apartment is kinda rural, so I really only leave it go to work and get groceries. It's pretty isolating compared to living in the centre of Tokyo. I mostly just play video games and go to work. Minimum wage office admin job. I plan to quit this one in March ready for another month or two in Japan. My career is pretty much fucked. I don't recommend this lifestyle lol.
>>2830637>getting drunk and doing karaoke and then going to the batting cagesAutistic or not, this is cool as shit lmao. The motorbike rental too!>i dont reccomend this lifestyleYeah its my lifestyle and I dont either. I tell the young bucks to chillout on all the rockstar shit and to try and knock a chick up
>Meeting salarymen who want to practice their English at barswhy is this such a thing that tourists love about Japan? When I go out i'm only interested in finding a girl that will go to a ラブホ with me, i could care less for some drunk fucker asking me where i'm from or why i'm here for the thousandth time
>>2830643why not both
>>2830642>this is cool as shit lmao.It's easy to do. Just get some drinks and then walk to the batting cages in Shinjuku. You should do it if you go.>The motorbike rental too!Yeah it was fun as shit. I mostly rented small CC bikes. No need for a 1000cc bike on Japanese slow roads (they all drive so fucking slow). Hope this image doesn't upload sideways, no idea why it's doing that.>and to try and knock a chick upPretty much all my peers have mortgages and kids. I'm over here just living this weird nomadic lifestyle. >>2830643It's fun in the moment. I don't go to bars specifically to speak to Japanese salarymen lol.
I rode my baiku all the way up this hill to get this shot
>>2830598would Revolut be the same? people talk about it all the time but I never figure out what it does
>>2830648I used revolut just this month, works fineyou can set up a yen wallet and have it take payments directly from therebest to set up an account asap because the physical card took a few weeks to arrive.
>>2830522>ameriblobsWe're not that numerous, right? I thought it was mostly Chinese and Koreans.
The Japanese fear the superior noodle soup.
What is the best 3 month stretch to visit Japan? As a remoteGOD I want to chill and explore Tokyo while working. Probably not going to do more than one place, just Tokyo.
March to May for the best weather. November to February for the least amount of people but it's colder.
as an amerishart, I still do not understand the bidet toilet. I'm not denying it's the best way to clean your ass but hear me out with the following. I also want to disclaim that I am fit and not fat. okay, I just took a shit. I press the button and get a little jump scare when the water jets onto my asshole. cool, I let it do it's thing. now, I have essentially poopy water that is splashed around my entire ass with water also streaming down my cheeks. I now have to use even more toilet paper than I normally would to wipe everything down. yes I feel extra clean asshole-wise but now I leave feeling like I have poopy watery butt residue. AM I DOING SOMETHING WRONG? I'm thinking of asking some girl off the street to personally demonstrate how to use it
>>2830654Are your cheeks big? That amount of overspray is unusual.
>>2830654>asking a girl to demo the bidetThats the best way to know>>2830645Yah im leaving now though. I should of looked into renting a bike!>>2830650>mostly chinese and koreansYes it is but they blend in, the shaqweeshas are so loud and stinky that they stand out and so do the white weebosWell shit bros im going home , im all beat and nutted out . Another victory
>>2830654This wasn't even anon's worst pick-up line.
>>2830647Nice view, what hill?
>>2830629I just find no thrill in soaplands. Much better when you meet a gaijin hunter or another foreigner in a bar who will do it for free
>>2830650No, you are much more likely to run into Australians or Kiwis by a large margin. Or “Americans” from Hawaii or California and Washington
>>2830654Nigger you realize you wipe before using the bidet? There’s a reason why there is a roll of toilet paper next to every toilet in Japan and France you god damn retard
>go to izekaya>do all the usual greetings and things you would typically say in japanese>order from the japanese menu using japanese>worker can only understand some of the things you say>-6 confidence in nihongo>worker leaves while you wait for food>hear worker talk with all the coworkers in MandarinEVERY. FUCKING. TIME.Im done with Tokyo proper. The outside areas are so much better
Come on hotels... Show us the booking availability for april!
wtf happened to soap pricesi was looking at them a year and a half ago and they've doubled
>>2830705....the toilet paper is for drying off you fucking barbarian.
>>2830705>>2830720Toilet paper fight.
>>2830600>A dollar is not 147yen anymore but 152Isn't this good? Your money is worth more now
>>2830707Kek, I had a similar experience in Osaka. Saw a girl standing by herself near Shinsekai, in that walking street that runs alongside Tobita that's packed with snack and karaoke bars. Assumed she was either a hooker or a tout of some kind and wanted to practice my Japanese a little, opened her and she replied in either Chinese or Vietnamese, I couldn't tell which. Walking through Shinsekai, Dotonbori, Shinsaibashi, Denden Town, etc. all I heard were Mandarin and Hangul and the occasional English.
>>2830672>>mostly chinese and koreans>Yes it is but they blend inOk Chang.
>>2830716Is that including the Gaijin tax?
>>2830705that's funny because that's exactly the opposite of what I've been told and read online. so who's really the retard? you've been doing it wrong the entire time
what would be some good day trips from hiroshima?

what are some cool, under the radar spots in tokyo? Going for my second trip with some friends who havent been before, we have 3 days in tokyo and i'd like to do some stuff that isnt just shibuya/shinjuku/asakusa. we arent gonna be huge partiers, would be nice to have some lower key areas with good bars that arent totally degen
>>2830777I liked Kure
>>2830532>>2830629I'm in Japan early March, plz teach me the way, sensei
>>2830777I mean if you have a JR pass a day trip is anywhere from Osaka to Kagoshima. I'd Visit Fukuyama just east 23 minutes by Shinaknsen
>>2830647Your phones AI shit makes it look horrible but if it wasn't for that it would be a fantastic photo.
>>2830636Not really the business men still travel the temperatures from Tokyo to Kagoshima usually stay above 15°c at day so you get a chill autumn day most of the days. When new years hits there massive traveling back to family in the rural areas so all the trains and stuff are booked the fuck out. But since it's usually family trips the hotels aren't as hammered, but a lot of people use it to go skying so stuff like Yamagata, Yuzawa, Matsumoto, Myoko etc are full.
>>2830720There is a drying function on Japanese toilets
Fuck me. Why did the yen decide to lose so much value only one week after I bought 10k USD worth of yen. Fucking hell.

Last week in Tokyo, where should I go as an autistic 4channer?
>>2830859>yuropoor smearing his ass with shit before washing it with waterThe japanese can smell you when you walk past them.
>>2830696Kuratake Shrine in Amakusa. Good luck without a car. >>2830792>I'm in Japan early MarchI'll be there from 7th March onwards until mid April probably. We can go to some secret izakayas. The more hidden the place, the cheaper the booze. I was getting pints of Kirin for barely $1 in some places. You just need a bit of Nihongo. People here hate Tokyo but it's unironically great. So much to do. Osaka is shit and dirty. Fukuoka is the second best city in Japan. Maybe Kobe third. Nagasaki was pretty based but felt really old at times.>>2830933>what did you pay? I rented a ZX400-R 4-cylinder 80bhp for 10 days and it was $900. I used 819 Rental. Just upload your passport, driving licence and International driving permit. >did you take you own gear or rent it? They give you a helmet and gloves. The rest you don't need. I rode in jeans and a hoodie. Speed limits are very slow in Japan, you probably won't crash or need gear. Some long stretches of empty roads are like 40 km/h for no good reason, other than fuck you I guess. I pretty much did double the speed limit most of the time. Japanese people also speed everywhere cause they know the speed limits are ass.Just make sure you bring a phone holder for GPS. I bought one off JP Amazon while I was there and had it delivered to a Family Mart. I would've 100% got lost without it.
what would you recommend to be the minimum savings to go to Japan?
>>2830955Japs dont even use soap because the washlet design basically prevents it.
>>2830960Depends where you come from for the flights, what kind of hotel/hostel you can accept and so on.
>>28309621930s biplane and a manger
>>2830935Go home.
On the subject of washlets, what am I supposed to do when I walk into a nice public restroom to take a piss and the lid to the toilet opens itself automatically but the toilet seat stays attached to the bowl? Is there a button to raise it? Am I supposed to raise it up with my hands? Piss through the seat and clean up after? Sit down to piss like a cuck faggot bitch?
>>2831008Yes you're supposed to sit. Why do you care if no one can see you you insecure faggot.
>>2831011>Why do you care if no one can see you you insecure faggot.It's called principles, my man. I don't break my word, I don't sell out for anything, and I definitely don't sit down to piss.

just want to let everyone know that I may have made a big mistake. I signed up for language school as I wanted to take a break from my career (31, was working in accounting) and have a good amount of savings. arrived here, really enjoy the city and apartment, but after having my first day at class, I have instantly regretted my decision. I pictured class in japan as a very orderly and quiet class with some white weebs and rich asians. in reality my assigned class is 90% jeets who are talking NON STOP all class. if the teacher asks me a question, I don't even have time to think about it. I have ranjeet next to me yelling the answer along with the other 89% of the class. I'm unironically mortified at what I have signed up for and seriously contemplating leaving after just one dayI'm going to talk with the school and ask if they can move me up to a higher class as I heard it's quieter than the lower level classes. I absolutely detest indians/pakis/anything brown asian and I'm literally surrounded by it for 4.5 hours a day. I'm writing this also as a form of cope for my decision and hoping I can figure this shit outGod help me
>>2831077Where are you located?
>>2831077Are you there to move permanently? If so, I would think the best solution is to use it as motivation to study in your own time and finish up as fast as possible. I have no doubt that every city with a substantial language school contingent is going to be full of imported jeets, and it's only going to get worse.
>>2831077Future konbini workers in the making
>>2831077Plz make your next class your last class but take some pics here so we can always bumb threads with them
>>2831077Not a single one in mine, and everyone is quiet, only talking during pauses. I also avoided the pink hair obese crowd, since they're in the beginner classes. You should have looked at the nationalities going to the school.
>>2831077I was looking at a language school but it was around $3.5k for an 11 week program. My buddy who went there told me there is no alcohol allowed on campus either. After reading this post I'm glad I decided to just use that money to book hotels in cool places instead.
>what would you doIf you saw the hot german girls panties and bootie shorts wadded up on her bunk just chilling there
>>2830935Odaiba, Eggs n' Things restaurant at around 9pm. Then order some waffles and a sweet drink. When the sugar rush hits, you go outside and enjoy the beatiful view of the rainbow bridge. Also maybe go check on the big gundam, I forgot at what time he moves. Also tokyo big sight worth checking out during the day if they have going on something interesting.

I'm in Japan but everyone is speaking Chinese?
japan is the new thailand it's no longer fat white people going for anime it's fat white people going for cheap beer and hookers kill yourself niggers
>>2831141nta, i'm trying to get a decent conversational nihongo in 4 months, shit is so fucked, you have to make choices and learn only half of it.-counters: only learn the hitotsu ones, fuck the other counters-formal or non formal form: always chose formal so you're enever disrecpectful-when japanese accepted english words use that over real japanese: ie for black use buracku instead of kuroI already cut 30% of what i have to learn.It's not like i will ever be native fluent anyways.
>>2831146do they have male escorts (asking for a friend)
>>2831153Of course. I think hosts will even pretend to be gay if you want to go to one of those
>>2831151If you want to speak Japanese you need to learn everything. You can’t say >I’ll learn English but fuck non-standard conjugationsHirotsu vs ichimai vs ippon vs issatsu is important even if it’s a hassle
Osaka feels like being in the Philippines and despite everyone jerking off Osakajin for being so cool and laid back I feel anti-gaijin tension here unlike in Tokyo
>>2831155>Hirotsu vs ichimai vs ippon vs issatsu is important even if it’s a hassleI'll use hitotsu for everthing inanimate and hitori for people and that's it.If you say "hitotsu biru" people will fucking understand and it's not even technically an error.
>>2831158>If you say "hitotsu biru" people will fucking understand and it's not even technically an error.A video I watched from a Japanese guy trying to teach what actual spoken Japanese is like says everyone does this anyways
>>2831158Depends on why you want to learn Japanese. If you just want to be technically understandable, then power to you. It’s biru o hitotsu btw, or nama o hitotsu if you want to be natural
>>2831077my dreams shattered... I didn't even consider jeets attending language school. Which school is it?
>>2831159Adding on to this casual spoken Japanese omits so much grammar and simplifies so many words things like specific counters only matters for writing and if you actually live in Japan and are talking to your boss but they also expect you to be a stupid gaijin so it probably doesn't even matter then
>>2831163Yeah, under 5 to 10 years of learning everyday or living there, you'll just be the dumb gaijin who doesn't talk quite right anyways.My goal is not to work there but just to get-by and to share ideas/emotions simply, so i learned the base but memorized the strict minimum, and then i change methods everyday (learning from songs, do one topic course with chatgpt, audio google translate to check my accent, then i'll switch to hellotalk or italki in the last months).
>>2831156Trust me, the tension is real. Fuck the taxi drivers in this city. Xenophobic pricks. And fuck the bus drivers who run the guided to tours. I'm only weeks into my first visit to Japan, and I have found Japanese hospitality and its hype to be grossly overrated.
>>2831165>audio google translate to check my accent*sometimes i'm way off but it makes me learn other useful words.
>>2831166The Tokyo people were really kind at least. I was fucking around in an arcade in Akihabara and a stereotypical otaku looking guy came up, scanned some kind card on my machine to give an extra life and then complimented my gurren lagann shirt
It's so fucking over. Thank god I visited japan in 2024 and got a glimpse of the real japan (pre covid chads, I kneel). https://youtu.be/HKwzeFoRjaEI literally walked past that area and there were graphitis back then.
>>2831176*no graphitis
Thank god I visited Japan in September 2025. You poor fucks traveling now don't know what you missed.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKwzeFoRjaEI don't feel safe anymore in Japan. Tokyo is turning more into a dump. The natives are more xenophobic now than they ever have been. Sure it looks nice at night with all the neon lights but the reality is grim if you actually want to live there.
>>2831077It's so over. Total jeet death soon.
>>2831176>>2831182This has always been an issue outside of tourist traps and has only gotten worse over the years. I don't know why youtubers are only showing it now.
>>2831196They ran out of low hanging engagement bait?
>>2831199I half expect it's just paid chinese propaganda. All these streamers are doing videos going to China now and making it out to be the next Japan (when it's also not and has tons of issues)
>>2831196>This has always been an issue outside of tourist trapsthe footage is from shibuya and shinshuku station, cretin.
>>2831196yeah i refuse to believe japan was spotless with zero graffiti anywhere pre-covid, give me a break lol
>>2831212It was mostly in Osaka before because they wanted to copy nigger culture (pardon my french).

So what's the point in going to Japan instead of Mumbai or Canada if it's all jeets anyway

Finally cured of my chlamydia from my last Japan trip. Just got the negative results back from my three-month retest. Now that the dust is settled, which of the whores do you wager I got it from barebacking?>bathhouse girl in Sapporo>escort in Sendai>escort in Tokyo
>>2831231Mumbai and Canada have no anime themed stores, Convenient railway transport or irl anime locations
>>2831252>barebacking hoesShould i be doing this instead of wrapping it? Im pretty convinced aids is very low risk but i still wonder about gettin herpes or somethin that might look ugly The tokyo girl prolly had it tho
>>2831252>bathhouse girl in Sapporonani?
>>2831260Usually whores are quick to put a condom on or at least keep it visible. If they don't I just go with the flow and ask if it's alright and at that point they usually say it's okay. It's pretty clear from your chemistry with someone if they'll be okay with it. I have no regrets and I'm honestly split over whether I should see the Sendai girl again because that was one of the best fucks ever and ridiculously enthusiastic. I messaged her about getting tested but she ghosted me so I think I have to cut my losses since I don't want to get reinfected or she might just not want to see me. The Tokyo girl got tested and cured at least.
>>2831238Considering Japan monetized reporting of illegal immigrants and foreigners who work while on temp visas probably. Maybe not a dedicated team, but the older xenophobic generation will probably report you. I don't know why you would be dumb enough to do remote work in public while in Japan though.
>>2831274Dude she probably blocked you because YOU gave her the clap. Who knows how many dirty bitches you slept with and that's going to be her exact mindset when reading that knowing you had to pay her for sex.
>>2831260The coomer cocktail is Doxycycline and PrEP, combined with getting your HPV vaccine. That’ll protect you from everything except herpes but you can get that even if you use a condom.
>>2831282>Japan monetized reporting of illegal immigrants and foreignersSource?
>>2831284Based>>2831274Yeah the whores just make me wish it was better sex with a girl i love :( lol. It is nice to feel some guts tho>>2831291>coomer cocktailInteresting >gajjin hateYeah i had a couple japs give me a real cold stare and I couldnt tell if they were hating me, or just in a bad mood, or larping as polish
Why is it still so hot what the fuck is wrong with this country
they should make a soap for gajin only staffed by gaijin only women
>>2831310I think to a certain degree they do. When I went to the soap in Sapporo they didn't give me a choice, they just gave me the picture to one girl and asked if that was okay. I knew the variety of other girls that place had from city heaven so they were full of shit but I was leaving the next day and didn't feel like shopping around so I just went with it. She's probably the go-to gaijin fucker. Tightest pussy I've ever experienced though.
>>2831313A lot of it is up to the girl herself, I think. I've actually asked quite a few of them and for the most part they said the store doesn't care either way, some of them just don't feel comfortable being alone with a foreigner in a situation where a decent bit of money is involved and miscommunication can very easily occur. I've also talked to one tencho that said that if I wanted to set up a 3P I could choose any two girls from the panel as with two of them there they'd feel much more comfortable than a 1 on 1 situation.
Idk how you coomers do it, I feel like I would have intense post nut regret if I paid for a hooker
>>2831110I'd stop whatever I was doing and take some English classes so people would know what the fuck I was saying.
>>2831145
>>2831146>Cheap beerYes>Cheap hookersNo
>>2831323What part would you regret? The money or do you have moral troubles.
>>2831323Japanese girls have the best GFE I've experienced anywhere in the world. I'm treated like a lover and they cuddle and chat with me about random shit. Plus there's a kind of platonic hedonism where you're motivated by the idea of how degenerate you truly are when you're smoking cuddled up with a gyaru in a cheap ratty love hotel while she prattles on about how salarymen love to do diaper play with her.
>>2831330Paying for it. Unless it was a JAV star or something, there’s a novelty to that at least
>>2831249For starters governments need to stop allowing them to enter. Otherwise eventually there will only be two options and neither are going to be good.
Why is it always jeets that are imported?There are plenty of affordable educated people from Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
>>2831336You don't need education to work in a konbini or clean a room in a hotel.It's not about being affordable, it's about being the absolute cheapest possible that technically gets the job done.
>>2831336It's literally national policy for India to try and export as many workers as possible so they can send back remittances. Also india is a shithole for all but the rich so individuals have every incentive to move out any any cost.
>>2831338I actually talked to a lot of the workers in Tokyo I came across who were jeets, and I’d ask them where theyre from, most said Pakistan and Bangladesh.Anons report on your findings. Start asking the jeets where theyre from.Also shoutout to the Japanese uni student at Family Mart studying english literature, thanks for letting my drunk ass talk to you for 40 mins at 2 am
Which areas of Japan have the least amount of jeets? Tohoku? Shikoku?
>>2831339>I actually talked to a lot of the workers in Tokyo I came across who were jeets>Anons report on your findings. Start asking the jeets where theyre from.Disgusting
>>2831342I always asked it in a very condescending way to be fair
>>2831325Damn i do sound like a nigger faggot. If you were cool you would of answered the question and said something funny..But your a little boy and cannot create or build anything in this world like real men do. All you can do is play and make weak attacks to try and make gay little self feel better>what would you do if you walked into your hostel dorm room and saw some panties on the bed that belonged to a hot big boobed german blonde girl?
>>2831356I would just think to myself, “nice, that’s hot”
>>2831343It takes some linguistic skills to convey condescension across different languages. Or is it just your face?
>>2831220>DuolingoJust do the katakana and hiragana from there, thats it.Once you have them you'll have a lot more than you thought.You can move onto anki vocab like i did and start to not do that yaaay.
>>2831358Jeets speak english dude
>>2831332>Anons will unironically say and do this and then turn around and say indians are the degenerates ruining Japan
>>2831377One of those people is in japan for a few weeks at a time, the other is there year round.
see you guys soonis it raining?
>>2831388That matters...how, exactly? The guy who prefers to get fucking chlamydia by fucking prostitutes (which is the only thing he came to Japan to do btw) compared to the Indian who is loud and leaves trash all over the place. These people are in the same level of degeneracy in my eyes
>>2831412cope rajeesh
>>2831412>that matters how exactlyBecause 52 weeks of degeneracy cause much more harm to a society than 3 weeks , so they should now be ranked at the same equal level of degeneracy>which is the only thing he came to Japan to doNo, he also came here to eat some really good ramen and take a couple cute selfies around Akihabara >these people are in the same level of degeneracy in my eyesOkay , you are allowed to have your own opinion (your opinion is valid , girl!)Does anyone know if things will actually be less busy in the winter? The stats for tourists seem to only be increasing yearly and monthly even.But perhaps the amount of locals travel less in the winter? Which would cause hotel rates to drop? I still have to dig up tourism by citizens stats to see
I'm stuck on the foreigner hate youtube algorithm and it's discouraging me right before my trip.

Just got mugged out of a public scooter by either a Jap or a Chink. Couldn't tell. I am officially done with public transit. So fucking glad I got my international motorcycle license. Not even a month into my first visit into this country. What did I do in a past life to earn this shit
Suggested areas for hotels in fukuoka and hiroshima? budget is somewhat important but being near cool stuff is also a good consideration
>>2831444there's no trick, salarymen simply love alcohol
>>2831458Imagine thinking a scooter is public transportation.
>>2831480Imagine thinking it's a personal vehicle that one bought and owns. Kill yourself, shitposter.
>>2831481You probably weren't following the rules. You deserved it.
>>2831484Well, that is the assumption of all time. Too bad it's wrong.
>>2831485>mugging>I didn't even own itretarded
>>2831458>>2831481Seeing your posts and your name, i'm 100% sure it comes from you, Mr Autismo.
>>2831487>>2831486You guys sound like swell people. Live in Osaka? Want to meet up?
>>2831439No they hate the low skilled laborers mostly from south east asia, and the kurdish refugees. Not everything is about America.
>>2831488>no responseYeah, that's what I thought. Pussies.
I think this might genuinely be one of the worst threads on /tv/. What a cesspit

>>2831502>>2831480>>2831484>>2831486If you guys ever decide to take your micro balls out of that man purse you're carrying, I go to the ISI Language School in Osaka. I attend afternoon classes five days a week for three hours, from 1:45 to 4:55. I'm the 6'0 blonde. Come find me if you're ready to get deported. I certainly am. I've been in a bad mood for weeks. I'm always willing to take out my frustrations by beating your faces into the concrete. Stay afraid, pussies.
>mongoloid acts like a retard in Japan and has a bad time, wonders why everyone is treating him like shit and thinks it's the fault of the othersThere have been fucktards in these threads, but you're one of a kind. Glad you're in Osaka.
Australians are kind of like fatter white versions of chinks
>>2831510>quack, quack, QUACK
I got drunk and lost at Fushimi Inari Taisha. I made it to the top and nobody was ther so I took a piss. If you keep going straight to get down instead of turning around you eventually reach pitch black forest with wild pigs roaming around.
>>2831146>japan is the new thailandUnironically it does feel like that sometimes. I was in a bar in Shibuya speaking to this Australian dude. I asked him why he was in Japan, what he liked about Japanese culture, did he like hobbies like anime or Japanese vidya etc. He just laughed at me and said that's all gay and he's here just to get smashed on cheap beer. My next door boomer neighbours recently want to Japan as well. And they didn#t really have an interest in it. But to be fair, lots of people in the mid 2000s went to Japan with zero interest in it. Tokyo was always the place for people to go on business trips. But it didn't have as many Jeets and stupid fucking Australians.
is okubo park dead? i haven't "browsed" in about half a year but the last couple of weeks i've gone i haven't seen any girls
>>2831524didnt that place get raided since loads of underage JKs were being hookers
>>2831525that's what i imagined happen but wasn't sure. there's definitely still streetwalkers in kabukicho but they don't seem to gather at the park anymore
>>2831526I remember when I left one of the clubs in Shinjuku drunk as shit I got accosted by loads of tranny hookers. it was very grim. i could see the bulges in their skirts
>>2831527i'm actually surprised by the amount of sex workers you can find in tokyo. when i walked the yamanote line there were a lot of "massage" ladies even at stations i didn't expect. but if okubo is dead then i'm kinda disappointed. i should've fucked a cute jiraikei when i had the chance.
>>2831530>there were a lot of "massage" ladies even at stationsAre those even japenese? every time i walked past one they'd be like MASSAGI?! I always thought they were thai or Chinese lol
>>2831532i'm almost certain they're all chinese. next time you get offered you should say to them "cao ni ma"
>>2831506retard ragequits japan lmao
>>2831308>why is this island coast hotclimb fuji or go to sapporo if you cant wait for January
So people talk about karaoke booths having security cams in them now, but I can't find any evidence.I read a Jap article saying Manekineko doesn't do it because it costs too much money to man the security feed.So my question is: can I fuck my gf in karaoke and get away with it?
>>2831533Why would I ask them for strawberries
>>2831340Tokyo and Osaka are done for. They will never stop seeing tourists and immigrants as long as the Yen remains low. Fukuoka has always been Korea. Sapporo and Okinawa are next on this list.So yeah, If you want to experience real Japan go to Shikoku, Akita or Aomori. If you want big Japanese city feeling go to Nagoya, for some reason they have a big curse of irrelevance despite being a great big city.
>>2831552nagoya is boring asf. got bored in like 3 days there
>>2831555Nagoya has great museums and good food
>>2831323yeah i kinda felt shitty after my first one desubut then you remember she clears hundreds of thousands of yen a week and enjoys it so whatever i guess
>>2831552What's Sendai like?
>>2831569I loved Sendai. There's hardly any non-Japanese that you encounter and it has all the usual high urban luxuries that you'd find in any major Japanese city. They also seem to have a really strong baseball culture if you're into that plus there's some really nice hiking spots like an hour away via trains.
>>2831525Unfortunate
>>2831578they wouldn't fuck you anyway
>>2831590With enough money any women spreads her legs, yes, even Japanese "gaijin haters"
How is the tattoo friendly onsen scene in tokyo? This year i have couple friends coming and we have bigger tattoos only visible undressed. I assume its probably better to just get a private one, if anyone has recommendations. We are also going to kinosaki the second week, but they are very friendly the last time I went even with tattoos.
>>2831616>tokyo onsen scene with tramp stampNot sure about the rules for tribal armbands and butterfly tramp stamps but im pretty sure Tokyo only has Pool chemical sento hot tubs which in my opinion are gross
>>2831618There are "natural hot springs" in Tokyo. However, they are not naturally gushing, but are pumped up from boreholes in the hot spring veins.
How cold is Tokyo in mid-November? Are long-sleeve shirt and a hoodie enough? I'm from a tropical country where it's hot and humid all-year round so unfortunately I don't have enough experience regarding the temperature and humidity.
>>2831667Yes.
What are the best cities/areas in Japan for martial arts? Which towns have the most dojos or whatever? t. black belt in karate and fourth kyu in weaponry, but am not averse to trying other styles. There is a bajiquan school in Osaka where I am currently, but it's a bit out of the way in relation to where I am staying at the moment. Need to buy a personal vehicle first.
>>2831672Come to my town and I'll heem you for free

I've lived in Japan for 3 years but haven't set foot in Tokyo yet, other than when I passed through the airport. I want to check it out this winter - along with a quick maybe one day stopover in Kyoto for some shopping - but I don't care about the Sky Tree or Akihabara or Disneyland or any of the weeb/tourist-adjacent shit. Mainly I'm interested in doing some thrift shopping in Nakano and paying a visit to one very specific shop in Yoshiwara.
>>2831688From what I gleaned with a quick google-fu, slippery language, double speak Jew talk, etc.
>>2831688Using handy phrases like>I'll take you to a hotel for 〇〇thousand yen!(You) a stupid gaijin will read into it that it means going to a hotel and having sex (penetration, benis in bagina :DD) for money (which is illegal prostitution)>Ok, we're at the hotel pay up or I call the cops>???>She profits, spends all of it at her favorite host club.
someone redpill me on gaijin bars. they worth it for someone who is looking to meet people but who hasn't yet learned the language? I'm studying at a language school, but it's clearly going to be a while before I even reach N5.
>>2831691>>Ok, we're at the hotel pay up or I call the copsOk, go for it.>Walks awayNo crime was committed
>>2831693Depends on what kind of people you're trying to meet, I guess.Tourists, military, other international/language school students, jeets, SEA, Japanese guys that are into Western culture, and general social misfits? Sure, you'll find them in spades. You won't find your yamato nadeshiko there though, and chances are any girl you do run across has been run through by half the guys in there already.
>>2831695>No crime was committedThat's not how the cops will see it.
>>2831696[spoilerくそっ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!![/spoiler]
>>2831700
>>2831698Unless you're doing an actual crime jap cops can't be bothered and will just brush it off, tell you to leave the area, etc.
>>2831696jokes on you, I want to meet an athletic, martial arts tomboy
>>2831703I'm aware of that. Soliciting a prostitute is a crime.
>>2831705Proof officer?
>>2831706Well, did you accidentally end up in the room of a love hotel with a (possibly underaged) girl that you just happened to meet at a park known around the world as a prostitution hotspot?
>>2831707Absolutely not, I was just in the middle of showing her my Warhammer 40k collection when she started demanding money so I left.
>>2831708Yeah, if you don't speak Japanese better than her you're getting arrested and deported because you're an outsider and the prostitute is a yamato patriot fighting economic guerilla warfare for her country just like like Onoda Hiroo did.Converesely you can just abuse jeets and get them deported if you can weave a story about littering, being a nuisance and aggression while the 50IQ subhuman can only say >NO, CHEEGAU, USOoooo, YABAI bloody benchod saaar
>>2831710Kek nope, even deporting foreigners is too much effort for them unless it's 101% proved, and that assumes you're not out of the area by the time they even arrive.See the past year or so of nuisance streamers and social media cancers treating the country like a theme park.
>>2831708Ok, well, how about you come chill at the police station for 23 days while I mull over the plausibility of your story.
>>2831434Japanese people will never tell you to your face they don't like what you're doing. They might post on social media about how some foreigner reclined his seat too far on the Shinkansen, but only the most unhinged schizo will confront you about it. So don't worry about it. If some random Japanese person finds you annoying for some reason you won't even know about it.
Has anyone been to a cuddle cafe? I haven't had a hug in like 15 years. I was too much of a coward to go into one last time I was in Tokyo.
>>2831206literally the center of urban culture stickers and graffiti have been all over the place since modern times. Along with harajuku to lesser extent. Has it gotten worst? maybe I haven't been there in over 10 years
>>2831732somehow that's worse
>>2831672ryogoku, tokyo

>>2831734>cuddle cafeNo but I wish I knew about this when I was there
>>2831683Damn that's a lot of Asians
You can complain about jeets all you want, but there's nothing more unsettling than driving down the street and seeing a blob of hijabs ambling down the sidewalk, each with 3-4 kids in tow. Takaichi needs to crack down on these Abrahamists, or else Japan is truly over.
>>2831750welp, I clearly picked the wrong city
>>2831758nah i much prefer muslims to jeetsjeets really are that gross
>>2831552>>2831561You guys got any recommendations for Nagoya? I already have booked tickets to Legoland and Ghibli Park and a one day tour to Gujo, Takayama and Shirakawa-go. Toyota commemorative museum seems worth visiting too
Any recs for places that aren’t insanely touristy? Probably still gonna visit Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka just to experience a lot of the famous spots that I can’t contrarian myself out of but I wanna at least squeeze in a few days in places that not everyone goes to and make the trip my own in a way so some places I can plan around Tokyo, Kyoto, Osaka would be appreciated. Probably gonna be in Japan for 2 weeks
>>2831782>Toyota commemorativeThe one about Toyota's history? I went, it was good. Though the cars and shit are just the 2nd half, first half is looms and thread.If you meant the broadere automotive history museum ran by Toyota I guess it's cool too, but I didn't have time to see it last year because of the stupid public holidays and shit.There's a train museum in one of the harbors.Takayama is great as a 1 night trip of it's own. Shirakawa too, if you want to stay in one of the 500 year old reed roof houses, otherwise it's a daytrip location
>>2831784>Any recs for places that aren’t insanely touristy?These days anything REALLY worth doing is sadly for you very saturated by foreign and domestic tourists. If you can however find anything of value for yourself in, say, Akiruno, Sakai or Nara (not the famous park but the rest of the city) the world may be your oyster
>>2831782Nagoya castle is a must. Shinkansen museum is close to legoland too
>>2831784I'm so glad I did this generic 2 week trip in 2016 before tourists completely overran everything. I had a sweet little airbnb in kyoto right next to the inari shrine. There was nothing but locals after 5PM and I could explore the shrine all by myself in the morning. Even back then though the buses were claustrophobic and crammed full of chinks. I can't imagine the hell kyoto is now.
>>2831811I feel bad for the Japanese, who suffer the consequences of the weak yen and over-tourism. Travelling domestically and abroad are both pretty much inaccessible. No wonder they elected the new PM.
I'm planning to travel in random directions in December and may need to book hotels either day before or day of. How are hotel prices / availability early in December? I know it gets a bit packed closer to Christmas / New Years but I won't be staying long enough for either of them. I don't plan stay in Tokyo.
is 20 gigs good for an esim for 2 weeks in japan?
>>2831816Japanese citizens don't have any say in the PM election, it's the deputies who do.Takaichi isn't PM yet, that retard already clashed with the LDP allied parties.
>>2831853Depends on your usage. I bought a 20gb plan for a 3 week trip and used my phone mainly for navigation and discord. Hotel wifi when not out and about. In the end I only ended up using under 7gb.
Anybody else hate "family" restaurant's? Fuck Coco's, Joyfull, Jonathans, Saizeria, Gust, and every one of those bullshit places. The portions are too goddamn small and the stuffs treat you like shit.But especially fuck Coco's.
Anybody have a particularly favorite/unique ramen spot in Fukuoka? Theres a couple Danbo ramens where i live in leafland, which are quite nice, but i'd love to try some more unique/local favorite stuff
>>2831784I'm well traveled in Japan, here are a few suggestions:Nara: This rural city is not far from Kyoto and features stunning Heian arcjitecture. But the most fascinating part is the deer population; the red shika deer that reside in the city walk around freely, and are sustained on gifts of food from the locals. Nara perfectly captures the Old Japan, when people lived in harmony with nature.Hakone: If hiking is your thing, look no further than Hakone, located about 90 minutes by train from Shinjuku-eki station in Tokyo. The locals believe climbing this dormant volcano will prolong their lives, and honestly, after doing it myself, I believe so too! Afterwards you can soak in traditional hot springs and enjoy sake with the locals, but for the love of god, do NOT bring your towel with you into the water!Golden Gai: For nightlife lovers looking for something a bit different, Golden Gai is the place to be. GG is a neighborhood in the Kabukicho theater district, riddled with hundreds of tiny bars, all run by, and frequented by, locals. Pick a place and dive in--they are very welcoming, but be prepared to use every bit of Japanese you know if you want to truly be immersed in the experience!
>>2831784up north was pretty sparse in terms of waitu piggu/chink hordes, akita, yamagata, aomori were all very nice and very different from the big city experience, experienced some really excellent hospitality
>>2831732>japanese people will never tell you to their face they dont like what your doingSimilar to how in America no one reminds blacks how annoying it is when they talk on speakerphone or play their music inside a store and at the register
Interesting piece of information about Japan: Luigi Mangione once traveled there and saved the life of a man that was experiencing a seizure.
>>2831077this happened to my school in real-time kek>arrive in late 2019>school is mostly white weebs, rich asians, like 2 SEAmonkeys, and a vatnigger who was too gay to exist in russia>by the time borders open after covid ALL new students are jeets, pakis, nepalese, etc>the handfull of white weebs seem more miserable than the last batches>rich chinese all call daddy and fuck off to greener pastures like singapore or australia>they're just using the school for visas so they can work >school is seemingly fine with this and getting kickbacks for getting them jobs>class becomes endless jeet-chatter, they all cheat on their tests and fail JLPT, pass school and get certs anyway, talk on sailfoamsshit was really blackpilling. and now they're expanding the low-skill jeet visa and closing the business visa(because too many white weebs and chinese were using it kek)japan will become a jeet outpost and they're fine with it because they think it will epically own the chinese, who rightfully hate jeets.
>>2831930pick any stall in the yataimura, can't get more local than that
>>2831784if you want "big city, no tourists" vibes, you pretty much can't beat Nagoya. massive place full of Japanese people going about their lives. when I went there I think I was the only foreigner at the station, not exaggerating. to a lesser degree Yokohama is similar to this, as long as you avoid the area near the ameriburger navy base or whatever they have there. just a giant fuckin city full of Japanese folks.as others have mentioned, Tohoku is not on many international tourists' radars. I did an 11 day road trip through there. definitely some cool stuff to see but i would never go there without a car. shikoku is also quite low key and pleasantly eclectic. the things you see there are more of the, "huh, this kind of shit would only exist in japan" variety.
>>2831919>anyone hate "family restraunts"I hated Saizuriyas but loved JonathansI didnt try the other 2 but i loved the whatever bullshit egg and coffee breakfast and hamburger lunch even though the double beef hakaaido burger was fucking 2200 yen and the robot and music noises annoyed me. When it wasnt too busy, it was a go to for me. For breakfast or in the weird hours dinner places were closedBut holy fuck bros 3 days back in the states after 3 weeks in Japan. My shits are all sorts of shitty, the goyslop here is so bad
>>2831978RFK is trying to fix the slop
>>2831982>dude le rkf and blumpf will fix itback to pol
>>2831982>rfk fixing slopNaa nigga thats controlled opposition just like trumpensteinI like askin these boomers if women should vote and calling them faggot liberals when they say yes
Food in Japan is boring and going to restaurants by yourself is a chore. I usually have a caloriemate and an apple as my lunch and have my macros during dinner. For a few bucks I can have fried chicken, a veggie drink, and a decent salad from any random convenience store.
>>2831013>A true Saiyan always sprinkles when he tinkles
>>2831864>and discordWhy? Be present.
I would like to go to Japan again, only went once last year with people. It was enjoyable for the short time I was there (bar the people going to the japanese version of a western thing all the time).I want to go again this year but my holidays have been fixed for the end of this month. Is it worth going at short notice during that expo will bump airline price? I want to go by myself.
>>2831332>diaper playUh...is she wearing the diaper or are they?
>>2832001just go ladyou're only alive for so long
>>2832000How much more present do you want me to be waiting on trains and shinkansen?
>>2831938Heard they are jeeting up JET too. Seems like a real blind leading the blind situation. Would love to see the funding trail that shows how the massive shit explosion of jeets outside their borders to every G8 country, who specifically is bankrolling this, and how (why is obvious, they are a bioweapon).
>>2831954Hitting Shikoku for 9 days starting Tuesday. Feels good man
Do you say gouchisosamadesu when you finish eating at the ramenya or sushi counter? Do they ever actually react? I tried it last time I was there, no reaction. Did I use it wrong maybe?
>>2831954Anything good to say about Gifu?
>>2832018Just do what the japanese do and mumble something that ends with 'ess. No one reacts and they forget you existed 5 seconds later.
>>2832015the japanese supposedly don't learn anything from JET anyway, might as well get some cheap labor out of it
>>2832025Would make more sense to just cancel it? No results, get rid of it and don't let subhumans in? This includes weebs and not just the dalits.
>>2830592Is that a real JK? I think Japanese school uniforms should have girls wear sandals/open-toe shoes instead of the standard loafers or uwabaki. That's the only change it needs to be the perfect schoolgirl uniform.
CoCo Ichibanya makes me feel sick every time I go. There are way better curry places.
>>2832018>Do you say gouchisosamadesuI say gochisosama if it's a small place where the staff are right in front of you. Because it's polite. It seems to work since they usually nod at me or just say arigato gosimastitaBut if it's a pretty busy place with lots of people coming in and out, I don't think it's worth it, I guess cause it's more of a basic place. I've overheard people saying otsukaresama when leaving a restaurant, but I assume they must know them personally? Since I've read its only for employees to say to other employees? could be wrong though.
>>2832024'yosss
What ryokan in Kyoto would you recommend for an ugly tattooed gaijin?I'm going in 2 month for the first time, and someone told me that you often need to book good restaurant in advance, any rec for Tokyo/Osaka?
>>2832001>Is it worth going at short notice during that expo will bump airline price? I want to go by myself.the Osaka expo? my nigga today is literally the last day, closing ceremony in a couple of hours
>>2832072I'll take a look at prices again when I come back from wageslaving.
>>2831514I wish I was doing that right now
>>2832057>I'm going in 2 month for the first time, and someone told me that you often need to book good restaurant in advance, any rec for Tokyo/Osaka?get on tabelog and find some places that are near where you're staying, theres so much good food in tokyo its difficult to recommend anywhere in particular
>>2832012Idk maybe just wait for the train without being on your phone talking to your discord trannies?
>>2832024Actually this. I just mumble or say directly gozaimashita any time i leave a restaurant regardless of the perceived quality of the restaurant or what have you.Gaijin pass. And if you think talking in anything more accurate on the situation or what ever earns you brownie points, it does not
>>2832043Yeah it’s called GoGo you pleb
>>2832127Tablelog has absolutely ruined japan dining when it comes to smaller restaurants.
Stopping at a highway rest area mid-roadtrip in Japan is one of those hidden gem pleasures that few travelers to this country will ever experience. But when I'm lucky enough to get the chance, I always savor it.
https://youtu.be/4ist84APIhcsoon
i feel utterly trapped in Osaka. Fuck public transit. I don't care how ubiquitous, cheap or efficient it is, trains, subways, and taxis will never beat a good old personal vehicle. I am suffocating in this fucking apartment. Feels like I can't do anything because all the cool shit is more than 30 minutes away. And I think I would would rather squat down, shit on either hand and then clap really hard than navigate the train system regularly to get around in this country. But the thing is, would buying a vehicle just be a monumental waste of money on a student visa?
>>2832230Just 30 minutes? In America it takes 30 minutes of driving to get anywhere. Sounds like you're some Euro pussy used to everything within a 10 minute walking distance.
>>2832239American, actually. And it's not the time, so much as it is the lack of a mode of a transportation. Everything is just far enough out that walking is impractical.
>>2832230what's wrong with taking a taxi. that's the amerifat lazy option
>>2829427this fat fuck did wrestling!?!?
>>2832230lolwut? you live in a city of nearly 3 million people, just walk outside bro there's probably things happening on your very block. make friends with people in your school, go hang out with them. walk to a local bar. take a train into the city and stay out until first train. i live in an inaka ass town of 20,000 and i still manage to have hobbies and a social lifewhat's your idea of fun cool shit, anyway? because if it involves drinking a car will only hinder you
/k/ here. What are the go-to museums if you're into military crap and you happen to be in Japan? From what I see everything is insanely scattered, small and weirdly JSDF-focused. There's anything worthwile or I should simply consider that the Japs don't like their cutting implements and guns an' WW2 history and shit?(I've heard about the Yūshūkan, is that the biggest /k/ related thing they have there?)
>>2832255oh it was gay boxing plus chess
>>2832230Just go home already you little bitch. Why did you even come in this country, since you seem to hate everything about it? Did you think Japan would made all your problems go away?
>>2832263Damn.And I'm a retard with all the mistakes. Oh well.
>>2832260there have niche air soft and similar tactical gear available in hobby stores. as you mentioned it's pretty scattered. I was in a random shopping district in Sannomiya as well as in shinsaibashi (kobe and osaka respectably) where I stumbled upon these shops. I hope anons can get you recommendations to what your looking for. I've read there's a museum in either nagasaki or hiroshima that is real popular but never been yet.
>>2832253They keep ignoring my gaijin ass, for starters.
>>2832260Yamato Museum in Kure. It's right next door to the JMSDF museum where you can walk through a real submarine.
>>2832143this
>>2832230The trains in Osaka arent even complicated, the fuck? Just learn the lines and stations it’s not difficult at all
>>2832257I don't speak the language yet, retard.>make friends with people in your schoolExtroverts giving advice to introverts will never not be funny>what's your idea of fun cool shit, anyway? because if it involves drinking a car will only hinder youNo, unlike the countrymen I left behind, my idea of fun involves something other than food and booze or driving to establishments that serve either at regular intervals because I'm not a fat fuck whose only idea of having fun is stuffing his gullet. And considering the only things surrounding the immediate vicinity of my apartment are:1. Other apartments2. Hotels3. Supermarkets4. Convenience storesI reckon I will need a bit more to keep myself sane in this city. And considering that my main passions lie in martial arts and trail running, two hobbies that are quite intensive and demanding when it comes to physical output, I would say I have my work cut out for me. This isn't even mentioning that the latter requires an actual dirt trail, the likes of which involve such things like "nature" and "parks" or "mountainous regions" or even "forests," all of which a metropolis like Osaka desperately, SORELY lacks. Hence my fucking question, thunder cunt. >>2832263Listen here, Tanaka "of the Micro-Phallus Rice Paddies" I never said nor intimated I hated everything about this country. But the most ardent fan is also the most ardent critic. You should know this, because of course, Asians are incredibly intelligent, as we all know, with you slant-eyed pricks being so good at math and all. So, if you have nothing constructive to add, I would kindly ask you to make like the xenophobic pricks driving the taxis and just keep on goin. Pass me right by like I'm not even here.
Going in 6 weeks. Really excited about it, if more than a little nervous about how my language skills will hold me back. I'm definitely going to see the Kodokan and Tokyo Grand Slam. Since I have two weeks, my friend suggested doing something a little crazy - a short round trip to Sapporo, a day in Osaka or Kyoto and a bus back to Tokyo over the second week. I'm not sure I want to spend that much time in planes and trains, but Sapporo seems really cool.
I leave this week and am filled with anxiety but I can't pussy out now. feelsbadman
>>2832282>no responseevery time
>Spent months planning this one-in-a-lifetime trip to Japan >Going on Saturday>Now that it's upon me my excitement has gone I'm sure it will come back but I wonder if I've spent too much time hyping it up. Is this normal?Weather seems to be all over the shop too
Struggle to believe that all whores in Japan are doing anal rather than PIV. Surely not, their arses must be in absolute agony
>>2832308If youve gone before, look at old photos you took for instant "i need to go back" feeling.If its your first time, idk, try google maps or something. Or hold out till you realize the food is so good.Do an onsen too.
>>2832308Sometimes planning is more fun than the actual trip.
>>2832308yeah it's normalyou'll probably love it again when you're there
>>2832292>anxietyAbout what bro? Anxiety just means your exited ;)
>>2832308when you step out of haneda you'll get it back bwo trust
>>2832282You sound like a faggot that's why nobody is replying
>>2832326this
>>2831933Thanks jpgGPT
>>2832230Grow a pair and get on the train
>>2832309A lot of shops have websites where they detail which girl does what, and I've definitely seen quite a few that have checked "no" or "X" on the anal option. Speaking of which, the last time I was in Osaka I went by the Kintetsu building to see if it really was freelancer central like that one Anon says, there were definitely a small handful but for the most part it was tourists and families watching street magicians and performers kek. I did see a deaf Japanese guy pick up a whore though, he was doing that thing where they talk with hand gestures and she was responding by writing shit on her phone before they walked off to a love hotel, the girl was kinda chubby but I could tell she was smiling behind her mask, it was cute.
I see all the places for different themed women, but where the chubby girl bar in Tokyo? Fat japanese girls are just perfectly sized American girls.
>>2832282You're an utter and absolute retard. Why not go to a language school in Nagano if your main interest is trailing, or go for a visa allowing you to stay in a dojo?You're miserable, and I can't wait to read more of your whining.
>>2832357nobody would let their daughter get as fat as americans. it would bring great shame upon the family
Time for a new thread wagie
Where can I find the tightest and most docile girls in Japan?
>>2832230I just got back from Osaka, Google maps is your friend.
>>2832383nursing home
>>2832329Not AI, actually! I just happen to have in depth knowledge of the lesser known aspects of Japan. Happy to help.
>>2832143I meant actually being on the train. Everyone is just texting each other or playing their gacha games on the train anyways, especially if it's at night or underground where you have nothing else to look at but advertisements and the back of other peoples' phones. Your idea of "being present" is the same as people raw dogging flights.Beside, the people I was messaging in discord at the time were friends I made in Japan at a concert and we were making some dinner plans.
>>2832326>>2832328>>2832360It's like I'm really on /b/
>>2832385How do you think I figured out that the nearest park/trail is more than 30 minutes away, retard?
>>2832413Rent a LUUP scooter or bike and stop whining like a faggot
>>2832413Sounds like something you should have researched before committing to live there.
>>2832282>my main passions lie in martial arts and trail running,so just run everywhere :^)
>>2832412I’d like to get your skull measurements. What causes a person to be annoying, only to lash out when people are annoyed? It seems like there are solutions to your problem, but you’re seemingly too stubborn to do the necessary-if-personally-unpleasant things to reach those solutions. That’s mentally-ill behaviour, but what’s really crazy is that you also expect us to be sympathetic; your problems are your problems, and they manifestly have more to do with your shitty attitude than with Osaka. It really shouldn’t be a surprise that acting like a faggot and a retard results in being called a faggot and a retard.
>>2832406>travel thousands of miles to the country with the most sophisticated and advanced train system in the entire world>waste it on discordWhat the fuck happened, /trv/? I thought we were better than this.>Beside, the people I was messaging in discord at the time were friends I made in Japan at a concertSo you added each other on Discord of all things, instead of, say, Line?
>>2832450I have literally rode every line of the Tokyo metro hundreds of times and train / shinkansen lines spanning both ends of the country dozens of times. Sure, if this is your first or second or even 5th time going to Japan, feel free to stare at the black void of the windows while you're underground all you want while I, and basically everyone else on the train who isn't pretending to be asleep, will spend out time on our equally advanced and sophisticated phones doing whatever the fuck we want while we wait to get from point A to point B. Instead of being present in modes of transportation that discourages making noise, perhaps allocate your efforts in being present in situations that can foster new relationships and experiences.>So you added each other on Discord of all things, instead of, say, Line?Yes because we play games together and that's what it's mainly built for. I do have their Line and even some of their person cell phone numbers, but our discord chats have more history.
Japan needs signs like this now due to all the indians and Chinese
When Japanese people speak to me in Japanese I just go wide eyed and flash my A10s
>>2832414>>2832415
>>2832434I lash out when people are thoroughly unhelpful. I ask genuine, earnest questions, brought about sincere problems. And I am continually met with unhelpful asshats who seem more inclined to shitpost than to offer even a modicum of advice or suggestions. I would like to get your BMI readings, because you sound like you're desperately trying to compensate for something with the way you're constantly acting like a high and mighty know-it-all who hasn't made a single fucking mistake while traveling abroad. Yes, you are just the quintessential example of the immaculate, intrepid, adventurer who always knows what to do next and is prepared for everything. You ARE Captain Hindsight. I have already explained, time and time again, that scooters and taxis are insufficient. And I already had a less-than-pleasant experience with one Japan when I tried using a scooter. And if you can't get that through your thick skull, maybe we should be measuring yours, you illiterate, ill-mannered piece of shit. Basically, go fuck yourself.
You act like an utter cunt to everyone and don't give a shit about the few advices you got, ask stupid questions, and blame everything and everyone about your lack of preparation (wwaaaa, why is Osaka so big, why am I so far, and why there's no mountains!!???). I pity the people who have to deal daily with you. Not even worth quoting.
>>2832487>few advices I gotlollmaoWhen did you guys start doling out advice?
>Chomonkyo Gorge is closed from the train station side due a landslideFuck, what should I do with an extra day in Yamaguchi? I guess I could always take the train to Tsuwano or something but it's pretty far away.
have any anons joined a cult? are they based or cringe?
>>2832539they're ok
>>2832230get a car if you're gonna be here for any longer period of time. you can get really cheap cars and if your apartment comes with parking there's literally zero reason not to. public transit fucking sucks anywhere, don't let weebs and muh walkable cities redditcucks gaslight you out of enjoying the pleasures of entirely private transit. fuck being packed in the trains with the gropers and wageslaves. it's the white man's destiny to drive and not be bound by public transit routes. you also can't enjoy a nice cigarette on the trains anymore, fucking useless.
>>2832553i bet parking in any japanese city is a bitch tho
>>2832560>parking is a bitchNaaa the Soapland workers usually valet part my Toyota for free
>>2832553god you sound insufferable either a boomer or a 15 year old larping as one
>>2832560There’s lots of paid parking and it’s not so bad if you have a Kei car. You might struggle some places if you’re driving a full-size tho. No shortage of scam lots, either - just like with bars, restaurants and the like, don’t park anywhere that doesn’t have the rates clearly posted, or is nearly empty during busy times. I made that mistake my first few months here and paid like 5000 yen for 2 hours of parking.
>OsakaThere's your problem bud. It's a shit city. I was bored as fuck there as well. Tokyo and Fukuoka are more fun. Tokyo just has way more stuff to do and it's cleaner. There's zero reason to go to Osaka other than seeing the sights. Tokyo is just a better city in general.
>>2832539I walked by a scientology place in Tokyo. Didn't even know they were chilling out there. It was late at night but the place had all the lights on and it looked like a barnes and nobles on the inside.
>>2832493Who are you quoting?
>>2832539I once came across a Happy Science book that was basically a transcript of the founder's "interview" with the ghost of John Lennon, covering topics such as who he would have voted for the in 2012 election (Mitt Romney) and why the Chinese government is bad (it represses individual freedom)
>>2830250[GOOD NEWS] I managed to smuggle it all back to America
>>2830650>>2830704Not really, but Americans are by far the most common travelers from 'the west' - 17.6% westerners (discounting the 0.5% from the middle east), of which 7.9% are from the USA (second is Australians at 2.6%).Source: https://statistics.jnto.go.jp/en/graph/#graph--inbound--travelers--transition
>>2832636Did you feel like jonny depp in Blow?Lets see it
The onion kitchen in Awaji was so goofy. Love these japs man.2 days into my Shikoku roadtrip. So far so good. Although the amount of shiroi baka gaijin I've seen is disappointing. Same with chinks. Hopefully as I get further into the island there are less
>>2832748Just these 2 since I immediately remembered I had to pass through Canada on my way back after buying them (will not make this mistake again). Opted to bring them in the carry on which made my anus clench during the security scan but books just look like books on an xray and the only other stuff inside were the clothes I wrapped them in so they didn't check.
>>2832787Where are you seeing baka gaijin in Shikoku? When I went it was pretty rare outside of Takamatsu.>>2832824based
>>2832824You must be an absolute grade A coomer to roll the dice on getting a sex offender conviction for a couple of doujins
How long minimum to spend in Japan? I have unlimited time (well, within regulations) but not unlimited money. I was thinking about 3.5 weeks before I realised I could do that with a job even if I would burn up quite a bunch of vacation time. I'm trying to stretch it to 30 days or more also because I'm realising it could end up feeling rushed, but money will be tight. I'll probably end up with a bit more than 1M ¥ to spend on everything by the time I go (not counting the flight), but that would pretty much empty my bank account and I would rather not go that deep.In general I'd probably want to start out in Kansai, maybe go on a quick stretch to Hiroshima/Miyajima, and otherwise head from Ise up through Gifu to Kanazawa, to mostly cut East to Nikko, then heading down South on the outside of Tokyo to Hakone/Mt. Fuji finally into Tokyo proper which is around where I'd spend the rest. I actually just remembered I drew up a shitty itinerary for a friend but noticed I didn't take Matsumoto into account so maybe there's a curve there (and small curves for cool shit along the way, taking recs to make the most of the in-between part).First trip by the way (and I don't think I'm making it back anytime soon so every bit of minmaxing counts).I might have gotten too detailed so to get to the point/tl;drHow long can you stretch 1M Yen for while having an alright time?
>>2832824
>>2832840Why the detour to Kanazawa?
>>2832787>2 days into my Shikoku roadtripI was planning a Shikoku road trip earlier this year but waited too long to start booking shit and eventually cancelled it cause some other stuff came up. Keep us posted, I might try again in December.
>>2832885Heard too much about it not to go. I'm a casual and it wasn't in my first plan from a few days ago, first instinct was just go quickly along the coast to Tokyo stopping at Fuji. I was actually going to post earlier how I should fit Kanazawa in and go about bridging the mid-section (not keen on going into Tokyo then out again to Fuji), but I figured I might be okayish with this, gives me an excuse to move a bit more across the countryside though I still have to sharpen details, but it's all a question of time/money.If I can make exploring that part worthwhile it might be cool and it still sort of moves me along.I'm honestly more on the fence about Hiroshima/Miyajima since it's really just back and forth (unless there is a better way to path my way back).But again I'm not too good at this and jumped from having this as a goal far on the horizon to "oh shit it can happen and I need to start planning now" very fast so any tips/shitting on my plans is welcome. Honestly as long as I get a reasonable balance of pretty stuff, history, nature, fun and some time to just vibe in Tokyo at the end I could be fine with it. Although even if I know the nature and going to hidden lesser known shit is part of the charm I don't see myself wanting to linger there too crazy amounts of time, maybe a cheeky ryokan somewhere but otherwise yeah.
i got like 40 pounds of candy packed you think thats enough?
>>2832830Tbh just Awaji and Takamatsu as of now. Hitting Saijo and Niihama for some festivals so expect a few more there. After that I will keep you all posted>>2832887Will do. I'm unfortunately not hitting the more inner Mt. Tsurugi hiking bits but pretty much doing a whole loop of the island.
>>2832933anon you NEED to go driving around the interior of the iya valley and go to Tsurugisan.easily the highlight of my shikoku journey though the driving is intense on those one lane mountain roads.
>>2832840Just some general advice, i cant provide any help for budgeting or time. My 2 stays have only been 10 days and 2 weeks.If you're going to spend a month there and travel like your map, i might suggest hiring a car. Never done it myself, but ive always stayed near transport hotspots, unlike your mapKobe and himeji can be daytrips from osaka. Especially kobe, thats only good for food really.What's going on in matsusaka you want to go there? Wouldnt reccomend staying in nagoya.And im not reading your paragraph on kanazawa, but yeah go there anon. I went to onomichi for 2 nights, about the same size, and that was great.What month are you planning to visit? Makes a HUGE difference in enjoyability.
>>2832840It's a fine plan. It's similar to my first 4 week trip to Japan.Note that you basically have to go to Tokyo to get to Nikko.>>2832885because its fucking goated you retard
>>2829513that looks gross
>>2832539I was (am?) enrolled into soka gakkai. I was told by a stranger on shinjuku I won a free tour to a buddhist celebration along with other guys as part of a “japanese culture experience“ “sponsored by the government“. I knew it was fishy but I didn't care because it was free and I was curious so I decided to follow them. We entered an old building with even more clueless foreigners so that made me feel more secure and decided to stay.Then they got us into a traditional japanese tatami room with a golden statue in the center. The “guide“ told us to just repeat the chants along their leader and so we did. It was like half an hour of singing 南妙法蓮華経 (I googled it later) after some other verses until the inciense in the golden statue burned out. Then their leader said we were successfully registered as new members and showed us some weird documents that looked very legit with our names written on them. that's how they keep their numbers up and growing so be careful
Fucking hell lads, the time is almost here. The trip I've been dreaming about since I was a 12 year old weeb.Cannot wait. Anyone in Tokyo fancy a pint on Sunday?
>>2832975That's just a very rough and tentative sketch and I'm not stopping at every point in the line, I don't have any plans for Matsusaka just figured I might want to check out Ise for the shrine if anything. Also yeah just passing through Nagoya (though I heard there might be interesting stuff in Gifu). I haven't actually planned out too much how to go through the middle of nowhere yet, just figured it might be cool.>What monthA-April... (well arriving in late March) I'm making sure to fuck off before GW though since from what I've read it seems to make things much worse.>>2832980Oh so heading from the outside into Nikko doesn't work anyway? I figured it might save me a trip out of Tokyo.
>>2833003I'm going in april too, but i'm with 2 others so splitting from them to meet a random anon might be difficult. Plus if you start in osaka and we end there, we wont meet.March, april and may are the best months to go.
>>2832993based kenshokai joiner
>>2833004Honestly starting and ending in Osaka might be a bit cheaper for me, but convenience aside I feel like leaving Tokyo "for good" while still staying in Japan could feel painful.Also thanks anon but I'm kind of a massive sperg anyway. Have a good time with your friends, I might have gone with two as well but in the end it's only me, gonna make the absolute most of it though.
>>2833003Ise is good.
