That's why problems arise when someone else who doesn't know the situation copies and pastes it to start the next thread.

Just got back from 3 weeks in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. It was my third visit having been twice in 2018 and 2019 before COVID. Oh my god bruh.. it is so fucking pozzed now. I wanted to cry half the trip. COVID absolutely fucked the place and its swamped with retarded tourists everywhere. Next time I go back I am sticking to smaller cities. That was so fucked it was unreal.

The small cities aren't much different. I went to Sado and it was full of fat American and European families all around the island. I don't know how they even got there. The best thing to do is just give up on Japan for a while, find a new frontier, and visit again once normies move on to their new obsession in a few years.

>>2861657
were you exclusively at tourist trap locations? sure aki and sususkino central are fucking swamped with walking stereotype eurotrash, muttburgers and chinksects being gay and retarded; but even in those places, you go a block of two off the main street and it's pretty chill. saw single digits of fellow gaijin in yokosuka, and strangely enough bukuro. In ueno and yokohama, bit more foreigners, but generally well behaved.

>>2861628
if you're a weeb, nakano is an absolute must. big box chains are nearly exclusively focused on fotm, seasonals and "classics". If you want some merch from that one show you liked a few years ago that isn't idols, eva or big shonen etc..., you're barely going to find anything outside of resellers or much more occasional stores that have older stuff, Nakano is a bit of a mecca for for foreign enthusiasts, as I'd assume domestic otaku already got all of their [insert franchise name here] merch when it was in vogue, Nakano is where you'll find much more stuff. That said, if you go a bit off the beaten path, even in aki, you can find a lot of cool things, but Nakano has a LOT of it consolidated in an a single location

Gonna hit up Tokyo in April. Stayed in Shinjuku last time and loved how close it was to a good train station, but due to growing up as a shut-in retard, i hated the touts and the tourist traps.

Morning coffee and/or breakfast near or IN the park if it's a nice day.
Casual stroll through the station to hop on a train and go wherever and do whatever all day long.
Return before or on the last train.
Crawl ameyoko until the sun comes back up.
There are tourists sure, but generally the more 'mature' ('immature' in this context being the first time visitors who are more prone to obnoxious bullshit and are mainly here to cross off their checklist of youtube top 10 japan spots selfies) ones

>>2861793
Nothing. They're popular for a reason.

>>2861795
>>2861793
They're popular because they're convenient and heavily shilled by the government. Then it snowballed on tiktok and 99% of tourist go there.
I don't know how anyone can really enjoy the fucking bamboo forest, nara deers and teamlabs lmao.
The only sane reaction to this shit is >>2861657

Seriously just avoid those 3 cities and you're good basically. Take a train to Fukuoka or something, don't need to go full real traveler (even if I recommend it).
Wanting to go in the overrated places is pure FOMO but in reality it'll ruin your trip.

How would you plan ~10 days dedicated to the Tohoku? Ideally I don't want to use more than 3 basecamps cities, but I feel like I'll have to make it 4. Sendai and Aomori being both obvious, I think. I'll need another base, most likely Morioka even if there's nothing interesting in this city, so I can do a part of the Sanriku pacific coast trail. I want to add the Dewa Sanzan but it kinds of fucks up a natural itinerary.
Any anons that traveled through the Tohoku? How many days to plan for each part? What were your highlights?
I just want to walk, see nice things and vistas, be comf and take kino photos with my camera and some brand new lenses I'll get right after landing in Tokyo. I can rent a car for a few days if I need to.

The best experience I had during my first Japan trip was at Kyomizudera in Kyoto which happens to be one of the most popular tourist destinations, I visited it during sunset and it was amazing, on my way back it already gotten dark, I remember walking past dimly lit lanterns on a warm autumn evening in small Kyoto back alleys and it was absolute kino.
And yes there were shit ton of tourists, especially at the entrance, but I just didn't care.

Do Inari at night, it was kino. Normies will soon enough catch on, but we were maybe 20 people in the entire mountain.
Did it during the day also and it was also kino, I swear people here are absolute pussies and can't wake up at 6AM. Just get up early and you enjoy no crowds, as 8 times out of 10 you go through a circuit, meaning if you are here early, you are basically alone for the entire circuit. Posting a few pics I took.

Any hotel to recommend in Tokyo for a couple? I'm looking for rooms that are a bit bigger than the usual because I'm a tall boy.

I will be running Tokyo marathon in 3 weeks.

>>2861851
I think the Agoda and Bookings apps has a setting to look for taller rooms.

Anyone been to the Site of Reversible Destiny in Yoro Park? Worth a ~2 hour trip to get there or leave it for another time? It looks like quite a unique place! I am intrigued by it.

My trip is in 1.5 weeks, slightly anxious, but mostly chill. It's been over eight years since my last trip. Not too worried about the doom and gloom regarding foreigners and crowds.

I'm not disregarding all these cute little towns/areas you'll see on "See around" sections, but I feel like it's like onsen towns, just a 200m street that is nice and comf, but nothing outside of that, and I've seen everything there is to see in 20min, let's say 30 with more photography and if I have to pull out the tripod for some reason.
I just can't justify to go to these places when transportation alone will 4x the time spent over such places.

>>2861896
do you have a list of these clubs so i can avoid them

>>2861901
Smaller business hotels. Stayed in similar in sendai years ago, im in sususkino, both places are top fucking notch value, small rooms (smaller than mainstream business hotels) clean, functional, lots of amenities (e.g. on top of having my own full bathroom w/shower and tub, theres a public bath with gender specific hours, breakfast buffet, in room massage service, all sorts of requestable freebies; boot dryer, kettle, etc... on top of the typical robes, razors, and very convenient station access only a couple blocks away which actually makes them very quiet and less crowded, but you walk <5m and are in the action. These dont seem to be very popular with tourists for god knows what reason (dont see any fellow whites or hear any chinese), love these kinds of places.

When you come to Japan or when you leave, it's best to visit from Narita. In Sawara (Katori), you can also take a small boat tour of the waterways, eat eel dishes, and visit Katori Shrine—enough to fill a day. If you stay overnight, you'll have time to visit Inubōzaki and Itako before heading to Narita.

They ARE pretty. No one denies they are pretty. Some of them are amazing even. But I genuinely could not enjoy like 50% of Fushimi Inari because of the HORRIBLE overcrowding. I avoid including crowds in my pictures but if you zoom in on the bottom of this image you can see. Imagine being shoulder to shoulder with HUNDREDS of people all with their phones out above their head, occasionally stopping to take Instagram pictures while you can barely breathe from how many people there are. The path does get a lot more chill the closer you are to the summit, but if you don't plan on climbing to the summit (50 minute climb) genuinely do yourself a favor and avoid Fushimi Inari in Kyoto at least.

A crab bun, lamb & mutton sausage, amazake (at the snow festival stalls this morning)
Genghiskhan
Bunch of sapporo beers obviously
A custard cake as komedas (does this cover the dairy angle?)

Think im gonna hit ramen alley for ramen tonight, and probably a few more snow festival stalls tomorrow morning for more crab stuff and i did see scallops but was trying to save room in my belly

That's why you buy used at Map Camera in Tokyo ! Buy a second one and resell it at home and it pays for your plane ticket. Though depending on the manufacturer, you're locked to JP language, but there's a way to tickle with the firmware on Sony ones, this is what I did.
But you don't need the latest and fancy full frame, you get into diminishing returns territory like for anything else. Just an old gen 300 bucks APS-C camera+lens will work perfectly already. I only know about the Sony lines, an used a6000 would still do the job perfectly even to this day. And I'm fairly sure the other manufacturers also have a good mirrorless APS-C offering you can now get for cheap.
Have a Nozomi from 2014 when Love Live was all the rage in Akiba, from a 2012 NEX-6.

I thought about going to the imperial palace at Tokyo, but the reviews I read cautioned that you won't get to see much. Apart from the well-kept garden, they won't let you inside any of the buildings.

For the anons that's been there before - any photo-worthy spots in the palace tour? If the photos they have on Google Map are the highlights and there are no hidden gems - I'm just gonna take that off the list

>>2861972
The phrasing they used in the right of the image is a dead give away.
The Ave Mujica part might be spliced from a real picture though - because apparently it's insanely popular in china

>>2862002
I walked around the garden and it was incredibly boring desu. I took some pictures but there are much better places to spend your time on. It felt like an extremely generic park with no real unique qualities. There is a small castle tower but it's fucking fenced off in the most secluded area of the park and isn't picture worthy in the slightest. Completely fine to skip Imperial palace of Tokyo. Don't skip out on seeing the outside of Tokyo Station though, shit is genuinely 100 times better than the palace.

>>2862008
Duly noted, thanks.

Any recommendations for Sapporo? I’ll make it to the last day of the snow festival but I have no idea what else to do yet other than Odori Park and Otaru for half a day. Might hit up the fish market and the Beer Museum if worth it.

I was at the beer museum earlier today and it was mid imo, you either pay for a tour (which I didn't, not that I had the option at all because there was a big ass sign saying premium tour is sold out) or it's like a dozen placards with some history n shit (in japanese), but they have some little pieces of paper that have some english text. And two walls of old sapporo beer ads which is kinda neat. You might as well read a wikipedia article about the history of sapporo beer, save you a 10-15min walk. there's technically a bus that'll get you there from the closest station, but there were so many people lining up for it that I couldn't be bothered to wait and just walked. Also there's technically some "beer tasting" hall, but line was long as hell so I just bounced after reading the placards, I guess there's a giant beer vat you can take pictures of which is kind of cool but whatever

the only saving grace is the genghiskhan restaurant right next to the museum is pretty nice, prices are reasonable and it's huge and they give you a tablet at your table to order more stuff if you want, and a little robot brings it to you; that said, it's not the only place you can eat genghiskhan in sapporo, if you skip that part of it, and unless the "premium tour" includes one hell of a lot more than the "free" variant, it's like <1h worth of content even if you walk there and back, read all the placards, are too impatient to wait for the tasting lines and just come back, so worst case scenario, you're not going to waste that much time

>fish market
if it's anything like tsukiji it's a place you'll take a couple pictures, realize it's a tourist trap and bounce

contd.

that all being said;
go block or two off the main sususkino "road" and you'll find all sorts of sweet restaurants and bars, nothing wrong with the main road stuff, but it's the snow festival, and it's crowded as fuck with retards trying to wheel their rolling bags on the snow-caked streets which admittedly entertaining is also extremely annoying when you get stuck behind them in all the bottlenecks created by the car-height snowbanks at crossings

snow festival itself is also pretty great, lots of food stalls (just like look at the prices and use common sense, I'd say a good 15-20% of the stalls are full on tourist trap pricing, but the vast majority are some pretty yummy and unique good value stuff), nice live music performances too (check the schedule, it's on some big ass poster there, and you can probably find it online; not every performance is running all day at every block.

this very amusingly mirrors a long convo I had a bar with the bartender and a local earlier tonight, they were adamant on lamb soup curry; guess that's lunch or dinner for tomorrow locked the fuck in

>>2861797
And they're heavily shilled because for the most part they are genuinely good spots to visit, as >>2861795 and >>2861934 points out. Yes obviously the crowds make it more difficult to enjoy these locations but I think the whole "avoid tourist spot" is an overreaction to it

Now that JEES has decided to change their policy to the detriment of everyone except the cheating Chinks and seamonkeys my plan to casually write N1 this summer while I was there is ruined and I'll have to wait until next December in my home city to write. One more reason to hate the Chinese. Honestly what's their fucking problem anyways, couldn't you just write this whenever? Fucking twice a year (once a year or none a year in some places) for this exam is ridiculous, DELF is four times a year. Maybe I'll casually write Kanken's BJT instead for fun instead.

Annoying, but it can't be helped.

>>2862262
Popular onigiri at convenience stores—like tuna mayo, kelp, and salmon—used to cost around 120 yen, but they've gone up about 50 yen over the past two years. Onigiri are meant to be a quick snack when you're a bit hungry. With 300 yen, you could buy an onigiri and some side dishes, or get a bento box at the supermarket to get some protein.

Speaking of 7E or FamiMa, I always ask at the hotel reception if it's OK if I bring some of their heated food in my room, and so far I never got a no.

Soup Curry from "Soup Curry Garaku" is a must. Its my favorite Japanese dish and I miss it so much that I am trying to learn how to make it at home.

After watching a bunch of performances yesterday and today at the snow festival and lovin it, i really want to see an idol concert.
I will be in tokyo next week for the whole week, could i as a gaijin with no japanese number on short notice get "into a show"? Cursory google search says theres all sorts of combini lottery malarkey and it's nigh impossible without japanes phone number etc... but there are sometimes "smaller venues" where you can get a ticket at the door; anyone have any experience with this? Is it expensive? Is it gaijin friendly or more of a locals exclusive thing?

That's horrible. This one time I headed to my air-bnb in Shinjuku in a shitty 34 dollar very thin walled apartment.
I went early by 30 minutes because I ended up getting an allergic reaction from some food and started sweating a lot.
Got in by code and cranked the AC to let my allergic reaction pass. I had a knock on the door and it was an old female hostess who was there to clean up before my time. She, in a disgruntle tone, told me I was in too early and I apologized.
I felt bad. When I left the following morning I made sure everything was super clean (trash out, bed sheets folded, no water stains on counters, mopped, you name it, cleanest I ever left a room). She messaged me in the afternoon for leaving the room super clean. I can't imagine doing this to a guest house.

Go to a Burlesque show. They are mostly gajin friendly. If you are lucky, some speak English will drink and arm wrestler with you. Its super cute.

Good on you, anon. I left my airb&b as clean as I could possibly get it too. I felt like I still didn't do a clean enough job but my host left a review on me and told me I was one of the cleanest people to ever stay there so I assume I did something right. I cannot imagine being a pig that makes others clean up after you.

Sincerely appreciate the reccomendation, some locals at the bar last night told me soup curry king was great, but the line was massive, i tried to hit up garaku was one <1km walk away when i saw your post, the line was much shorter but unfortunately they were no longer accepting anyone in line, that said, found a ramen place nearby (wouldn't have been in the area at ALL if not for your suggestion) and had am absolutely amazing spicy miso butter ramen w/egg there for like 1200yen, are all soup curry places always so in demand, i even tried to specifically go later to miss the lunch rush, probably last day of snow festival compounding the issue since it's everyone's must eat sapporo dish, reckon ill have better luck if i hover around one before it opens for dinner? I only have one dinner left here, taking the first airport rapid tomorrow morning. Worst case i just skip it this trip, been a lot of fun, ill come back to hokkaido in the future for sure, can do it then

Chinese logic is that since we're paying to stay here, we can do whatever we want and get away with it.

Though small in scale, Ouchi-juku will also hold its Snow Festival from February 14th to 15th.
