Mongering is just as valid a discussion topic as sightseeing and far more rewarding. Sometimes you even get presents that last 7-10 days with treatment.

I know it's popular to hate on Ichiran, but I still think its way better than Ippudo. Ichiran is like high tier junk food, while Ippudo is like a mid tier chain restaurant. I still eat Ichiran a few times every trip. Of course neither is as good as a regular non chain Ramen place, but I think Ichiran gets more hate than it deserves and Ippudo is overrated.

>>2889544
I've never gotten the hype around ramen period. The ingredients never have enough time to soak in all the flavors since ramen places are always rushing you so the noodles and meat are always kind of bland and the broth is way too salty. I also never feel like a single bowl has enough actual food but the salt content is so high it makes going through multiple bowls to be a chore. And don't "muh authentic artisanal ramen" me since I've eaten bowls from kyushuu to hokkaido and found them all mid.

>>2889535
Think about ogatoonsen - small town where you just go to onsen and then to soapland and then back to onsen - entire weekend. Eeee, eeeeto. What a paradise.
Btw tobita kills everything you can get in Tokyo. Tokyo is so shit and expensive, I paid short of 60k yen for meeting with AV actress and she did not even yelled like a pig. Massive disappointment and scams - all these deriherus "for le foreigner"

Ramen to me is just Japanese home grown fast food that's high in salt, cholesterol and calories. Akin to hamburgers for Americans.
On my last trip to Japan I never bothered with their ramen. There are so many other cheap, delicious things you can have in Japan anyway

>>2889547
Yeah its definitely a guilty pleasure. I love miso Ramen with a nice big block of butter in it. Definitely not healthy but I'd I'm on holiday I don't really care about being healthy. I prefer Mazemen these days. I think Ramen is just easy, when you can't be fucked and just want to be in and out in 15 minutes and get on with your day/night. Its perfect for that.

>>2889555
It is common knowledge in Japan that authentic ramen from a restaurant is more of a guilty pleasure than a proper daily meal, and eating it too often is bad for your health.

Cold udon with tamago and miso soup are both better than ramen

>>2889544
>>2889547
Japanese people don't get the hype around ramen either. It's junk food to them.

The best foods I've experienced in Japan are champon in nagasaki and potato croquets in hokkaido.

I had ramen every night for almost two weeks and it bloated the fuck out of me.
I had to remove a link from the watch I bought there when I got home lol

>>2889558
Of course, instant ramen is also considered junk food. While it's a staple for lazy bachelors and broke students,
most people usually just eat it as a quick weekend lunch or a snack between meals when they get a bit hungry.

Asked last thread but got no answer.

What's anons' thoughts on the Seto Islands daytrippable from Takamatsu? Shodoshima is the biggest with the most going on but Ogi and Megi are also popular.

>>2889595
I've only been to Megi Island. It was a brief ferry ride from Takamatsu dock IIRC. Spent several hours there hiking up to the sights. Not a ton of amenities there when I went. Took the ferry back. It was pretty fun.

>>2889573
For me it's Japanese BBQ and Osaka-style Kushikatsu.

>>2889547
>I also never feel like a single bowl has enough actual food but the salt content is so high it makes going through multiple bowls to be a chore.
That's why you can order extra noodles for fatfucks like you

>>2889598
Did you find Megi worth it? What were your personal highlights beyond just enjoying the hike?

Going back-and-forth with Chat GPT about details it suggested Ogi and Megi as a package deal for a day trip, or going to Shodo's inland rice fields.

I'd be going in January so I'm leaning towards Shodo and haven't seen anyone online really have an opinion of Teshima or Naoshima.

>>2889595
I went to Naoshima and Teshima in March.
Naoshima is an alright, if slightly expensive day wandering the no-cars-allowed art museum zone. Some of them are nice, some are like 3 bare rooms, and you will want tickets in advance for the most popular one. The natual coastline is quite nice as well. Overall it depends on your tolerance for modern "art".

Teshima on the other hand is an absolute scam with a single 'exhibit' that got my socks wet and then I forgot my bag and had to walk 15 mins back up the hill I just walked down (I don't have the balance to ride a bike) and then it rained for the whole rest of the afternoon so I just sat at the ferry terminal rather than visit the last one or two spots to see. The only thing that redeemed Teshima was the jap granny that gave me some kumquats off her tree because I said her garden was nice while taking photos of the flowers (pic related). It seems I forgot to take a photo of her sakura tree despite her telling me to, but I liked the flowers more and the sakura wasn't really in bloom by then. Oh, I guess the 'Needle Factory' art house on Teshima was alright too but again there was very little worth spending a whole day there for, I basically only did it because I had to take the ferry from Naoshima to Uno anyway to take the train further south and decided to get an evening train and go Nao -> Te -> Uno

Both of them were utterly mogged by the Onomichi Art Museum though, which was still running the '100 Views of Kyoto: Four Seasons Depicted' exhibit with 83 paintings on loan from Kyoto (out of like 119 or something) until May 6th. Honestly I didn't even plan to visit the art museum I just had time to kill before an afternoon ferry so I checked it out cause I was up the hill anyway for the temples and it was a real "Finally, some good fucking food" moment.

>>2889605
I found the Momotaro/Oni stuff fascinating so I enjoyed that. If you were to do Ogijima too I would probably pack a lunch and have on comfortable shoes. It would probably take up the whole day I imagine.
Shodoshima has monkeys apparently and was the setting for a manga. If you like that more, then you may enjoy that.

Chest bags worth it for 2 weeks in japan? I hate looking like I'm carrying a small village worth of shit in one of those large travel backpacks, not to mention after 2 hours my shoulders and back will be dead at only 11am. My plan is to leave basically everything in the hotels, and just walk around with nothing but one of these chest slings. Anybody else do this sort of "minimalist" travel?

>>2889685
yes but get an even smaller one, i only carried my passport, some cash, wallet and a charger. only used a backpack during degen shopping trips

you can hide it under a jumper/shirt etc

>>2889608
Thanks anon, saved me bothering to consider them. I'd been to Hiroshima already but hadn't been to the art museum because the person I was with really wanted to go to the atomic bomb museum & memorial instead. Maybe next time I go to Hiroshima.

>>2889615
>pack a lunch and have on comfortable shoes
Walking is no problem for me, especially in cold weather I could hike all day. There's some decent looking cafés & lunch restaurants on both islands, I'd rather get something to eat from the locals than bring a currypan.

Not really interested in monkeys over museums, historic architecture and nice scenery.

>>2889685
My chest purse was my life for my whole trip this year. I brought minimal shit so I could carry all my really important stuff in the pouch on my person and left my backpack with nothing but clothes and cheap souvenirs back at the hotel without any worries.

I got a really cheap and ugly one that made me look like a jackass but it served my purposes and I wasn't there to impress randos so I didn't care.

Onomichi art museum isn't hiroshima, I went to the Hiroshima art museum also and it was fine. If you can find where they're displaying those Kyoto paintings now and it's on your route I'd say visit there it's kinda a must imo.

>>2889685
Everyone just walks around with chest packs or daypacks.
And if you send your luggage to your next accommodation via courier, traveling will be much easier.

I went to nagashima spa land since I heard it's a pretty based amusement park. It was definitely less crowded than Universal or Disney but my first line really soured my experience. I was in line for some coaster and I was behind maybe four or five Indians. That's how it started at least. They kept waving their friends over and before I knew it like 20 stinking Indians were cutting in front of me while I stood there like a chuck trying not to make a scene. Literally where can I go to get away from these creatures?

It's really muggy today.

What do you want to get out of the country? Think about that and make a list of shit you want to do or see before buy tickets. If you want to be a cheap fuck go in summer for cheapest everything and you can pack extremely light too.

If you're anywhere near Otemachi Station there's an underground mall as well as a highrise mall above ground all of which have a plethora of good restaurants in both Western and Japanese style.

if i were to take the shinkansen to osaka, how many days do you think i should stay down there, to experience dotonbori, nara, osaka castle, and gin/kinkakuji? my stay in japan's a total of ten days, so i'm thinking three days osaka/kyoto?

Spur of the moment, I bought tickets to Tokyo from Bangkok (really felt like my two weeks allocated was just too long. One week was enough.) so now I've got 5 days. Anyone want to hang during that time? I'm fuckinf retarded and into plamo so we can do whatever and weeb out, but also can knock back a few and do whatever. Not to blogpost too much, but I've got mixed feelings since none of my other buds wanted to come with. Can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss dragging my homies around and seeing the sights. Guess we're all just getting old. Whatever, guess I can make some new acquaintances.

>>2890375
Definitely go see Unicorn before he leaves, anon...

>>2890370
that is an extremely tight schedule imo, but potentially doable if you did something like
day 1: kyoto (gin/kinkakujin)
day 2: nara (this is a day trip, should stick to a hotel in kyoto or osaka)
day 3: osaka (osaka castle, dotonbori)
if this is your first time i'd consider adding 1-2 days in either city, even if that means leaving out one city entirely. for my first trip i skipped osaka in favor of kyoto and found no shortage of things to do and see.

>>2889873
Code?

>>2890322
Unironically this, but also as a full moon gaijin, also the poor ass white people coming now because the yen is low.
They need to be filtered out.
So many would still pay.
You all know it

>>2890370
we did three nights osaka and three nights kyoto and both stays felt super rushed desu.
osaka had too much to do and kyoto was spread out wide

it is certainly doable but make sure to get up early and go to bed late lol
and make a good list of what you want tot do and their locations in google to get around easier

>>2890411
>>2890391
damn, i might just cut nara out then, since it's the one that's most out of the way, to make more time for osaka and kyoto. thank you for the input
also, outside of the deer park, what else does nara have, that would give me good reason to dedicate an entire day?

>>2890424
> what else does nara have that would give me good reason to dedicate an entire day
for me, todai-ji and kasuga shrine are unskippable if you're doing nara at all. you could probably be done by 1pm-2pm if you got there as things opened. the deer park itself is "mostly" skippable, or at least you'll see plenty of deer as you make your way to other attractions and i wouldn't include it as a major attraction unto itself. i agree with skipping it if the other cities are your priorities.

Nagoya is actually pretty comfy. If I had to pick a city to stay at long term I'd probably be here.

>>2890442
And recommendations on what to do there?

>do nomadtable
>there is this one jap girl (ai) and her „friend“ from norway

So how rude is it actually calling random japanese people with the chan suffix? If she reads this, sorry ai-san.

>>2890445
It's not the variety of things to do that I think makes it attractive. It has all the things a modern Japanese large metropolis would have, it's just that the people are friendlier than in Tokyo and there's less foreigners. There's also just three subways so I find navigating it all to be simple to understand. Grid layout around the central park is easy too.

>>2890452
it's not rude unless she is older than you, in which case why would you, because it forces her to call you -kun in return and makes you sound like a kid. Jap people don't care about keigo and drop it instantly all the time if they like you. You just got AMOG'd by the Norwegian bull. You probably have brown eyes.

>>2890458
>there's less foreigners
reminder everyone should ignore hikiomori opinions, why the fuck do you want to live anywhere long term without other foreigners who speak your native tongue

>>2890523
Because I go to Japan to get away from shitty western culture. The more foreigners there are the more baggage they being along with them including being loud, littering, not giving a shit about lines, dressing like shit, smelling awful, and pushing for more foreigners to move in. Go around some parts of Tokyo and you hardly spot a single Japanese person. If you want to live somewhere where they speak your tongue stay home. If you want to enjoy Japanese peace and order then you have to live in a place with as few foreigners as possible

>>2890525
>>2890523
I never hang out with foreigners when I'm abroad and never talk in English to them but from my experience I get treated better in places where there are more foreigners. I'm less of a circus animal and more of a human to the locals. And I stay in shape and speak the languages well and mog all of the other foreigners. Maybe if you go to a place with foreigners, you're getting evaluated in comparison to weebs and losers, but if you go to a place with no foreigners you're getting evaluated against Brad Pitt and instagram models from their algorithm

>>2890526
That's in your head. In places where you're a novelty all white guys look the same to them so they think you look like Brad Pitt. I also find people much more open to trying to talk to me in Japanese whereas in Tokyo they just assume you don't know anything and stumble their way through English. As someone trying to learn Japanese it's way more helpful.

In hotels with onsens they usually have an inside and an outside bath. I've noticed that japs deliberately segregate themselves from gaijin. If I or other white people are using the inside then the japs use the outside, and if I use the outside they'll use the inside. Maybe they think they're being nice or something but it feels personal.

Is the Japan craze dying down?
I've always loved Japan, then I visited a few times and loved it even more, speak the language well and am not brown. Unfortunately it seemed like for a few years post covid mindless tik-tok zombies who go where the app tells them and brownoids with money (somehow) invaded the country even though they don't care about it.

Last time I went anywhere notably touristed it was just the usual chinese and tourgroup boomers, and that wa sin Kyoto where it should have been full of the worst influencers and the like. Oh, there was one jeet (assumedly, brown of some sort jeet by behaviour) married to a white woman with a kid, he was digging a hole in the dirt with his foot to toss his banana peel away. Some jap boomer nearby started telling him off in japanese and the jeet just kinda stared like 'what di i do wrong, im feeding da earth this im compost saar' (his argument).
I walked over and put the peel in a plastic bag I had spare, robbed him of all his izzat and got a broken english 'You welcome Japan any time!' from the jap boomer it was kinda funny. Jeet was seething so hard he saw me later that day and came up trying to start a fight and have a whine about it, SAAR WHY YOU DO THAT I HELP PLANET SAAR. I forget if I posted about this when it happened. This was mid-spring by the way.

But anyway I would say the fad has lowered and either way you can always escape the fad by going to more of a nowhere prefecture.

i'm so shit i'll usually find a way to fuck up picking up a simple piece of nigiri half the time. this is my third time visiting japan.

probably the scariest part of this story lol. Kyoto was what was in my mind as well when I asked, just so much condensed tourist behavior, which is a shame because it's genuinely a great place and it feels so much older than Tokyo. My favorite parts of trips are always going to nowhere prefectures / cities and you can tell immediately that no foreigners ever go there

>>2891119
At other Japanese restaurants as well, you can simply ask the staff to bring you a fork since you don’t know how to use chopsticks.
The staff understand that it’s only natural for some people not to know how to use chopsticks, given that they were raised in a different culture.

The weak Yen has made it more affordable than in the past.
It's a safe country, it's largest metro area is virtually crime free which is a huge anomaly in the world at this point.
It's clean and beautiful.
Good food.
The craze is here to stay unless Europe radically alters course.

Is Amanohashidate worth the trip? It looks like a 3 hr trip via JR from Kyoto, so it's a pretty heavy commitment to go up there, but it looks pretty from the photos. I don't know how much there is to do there other than walk between the two ends or if it's worth spending the night there. I'm not in a hurry, and this isn't my first trip to Japan or anything, but I don't want to waste an entire day on some tourist trap.

I was thinking about leaving Kyoto in the early morning, getting there before noon, wandering around for two or three hours, and then taking another 3hr train to Kinosaki to spend the night there. But if it's worth spending more time there, I guess I would spend the night there and maybe go to Kinosaki the day after. Or maybe I should do it in the opposite direction and go to Kinosaki first and then to Amanohashidate before coming back to Kyoto for the Shinkansen.

>>2891156
all of these are true but there's definitely been a uniquely recent fascination with japan among normies + social media, no? explain what you mean by europe altering their course, do you mean from them being tourists or europe being a destination?

Anyone have any experience renting the monthly/3 month rent apartments?

I'm looking to stay in Osaka for probably a couple of months and get some work done while I relax.
I usually travel to Vietnam or China because I can stay in fairly nice hotels there for about 600 a month while eating the complementary breakfast, but Jap hotels seem a bit overpriced to me for long stays so I was looking into renting instead.

Any reputable websites? known scams I should avoid?

>>2891199
Look up "share houses" and you'll probably land on something that's okay. Found one here that is less than $600 a month.

Japs either assume you don't speak any Japanese or you're fluent. If you start speaking a few basic things they just start rambling on for like five minutes before asking you a question and while you're still processing everything they switch and try again in baby english.

Very few Japanese people behave in such a rude manner. If you’re not fluent in Japanese, they’ll simply assume you’re a foreigner. Japanese people always place great importance on politeness.

Until 2013, Japan was less visited than Sweden.

I was too young but my uncle lived and worked there in the late 80's/ early 90's, he tells me stories about how nice it was. Back then everything really felt futuristic and you were actually an oddity if you were white. I think attitudes in general were just more positive at the time. Honestly I don't know how he did it, didn't speak a lick of japanese and navigated that shit without any modern tools.

I was there in 2012, roughly a year after the major tsunami/earthquake. Was last in Tokyo in 2024. Being a foreigner was definitely a little more novel back in the 2010s. As far as tourism stuff goes there was a more "you're on your own" type of vibe to things. On the flip-side people were more helpful because of lower tourism fatigue.
In 2012 data plan/cell phone stuff was more annoying to setup. The Japanese Yen was equal to/slightly above USD at the time. Japan had a reputation for being expensive among US boomers so you didn't see a lot of Americans casually traveling there. Tourism numbers overall were lower but that was also the peak of Chinese hordes randomly showing up in tour buses.

1 in 3 people in Japan during summer are tourists. It legit must feel like a giant theme park. What's the point?

>>2891659
There's plenty of places you can go that aren't full of tourists. Just get out of kanto/kansai

>>2891609
I went in 2013, and lived there for 3 years in the countryside, 1 year in Tokyo.
The biggest change I guess by 2016 was all the go-proers and selfie-stickers recording the Shibuya crossing and arcades. Them freaking out about seeing people in kimonos and yukatas. It was pretty cringe.
Even then, when I first arrived I'd hear stories from the boomers about the Japanese 90's economic boom and how easy it was to be a gaijin back then.
Quite a few of them were karate-kas and hated the new generation of weebs and animu nerds showing up.
The Japs were freaking out about Trump starting a nuclear war with North Korea.

>>2891659
>What's the point?
get out of the touristy areas, when you do its always the best parts of trips. this doesn't even have to be leaving Kanto/Kansai like >>2891671
(which is still good advice) but literally you can take a 10 minute train away from the center of tokyo and be the only white person for miles. tourists DO NOT stray from the tik tok spots. part of this is because they don't know the language and how to navigate.

>>2891690
Honestly you don't even need to go that far out, even if you go to akihabara or shibuya just like... walk a few blocks perpendicular from the 'main street' and it gets a lot less crowded and touristy feeling

You ever just get tired of traveling? I've been in Japan for four weeks now and this is my 4th trip. I'm just kind of burnt out and feeling depressed in my hotel room. I just can't enjoy any of the placez or things that used to bring me so much joy. The only things I look forward to right now are meals and getting a cup of coffee.

I just finished my 5th trip about a month ago, and even though I was there a month I only took about 2000 photos (compared to like 5000 a year earlier) and I kinda feel like I didn't do a whole lot. Starting to just do the same things over and over even though I went to new places. Japan is becoming routine for me. I also basically just spend most days in cities going to kissatens and restaurants. But I try to go out to more rural areas at least a few times.

It's not like I'm not enjoying it, Japan just doesn't have the same spark for me it used to. It just feels comfy but it's a laid back comfy where I don't feel motivated to expand my horizons.

Japanese people already live in Japan and experienced japanese stuff. They only go to Sapporo for very specific things. As a foreigner there's plenty of stuff to do, especially since it seemed from anon's post that the whole trip was gonna be only 9 days total.

Time to visit other countries. Japan is nice but it's pretty uniform no matter where you go. Some countries are much more dynamic and you'll feel more variety by going an hour in any direction. In Japan, whether you're in Beppu or Naha or Osaka, the towns themselves feel very similar. Architecture is the same throughout the country. Nature is the thing where Japan offers a good amount of variety, but even that is less diverse compared to some countries.

>>2892198
I’ve never been to a jazz club but they always seem like a comfy environment. What’s special about Slow Boat specifically?

I agree but I'm actually married to a japanese woman so Japan is kinda where we go at least once a year now, visit the family, etc. I'm only an average middle class chud so I can't just remote work and have unlimited PTO, so I gotta ration my days.

I love Japan but I haven't felt super excited for traveling in a while. Last time, we did 2 days in Taiwan and I felt more excited than I had in years

>>2892321

Brah literally walk into a random izakaya, ill never understand why people are so focused on specific restaurants and then theres a long ass line outside some sushi place while theres another perfectly fine one down the street and around the corner with no wait.

You dont need to go to the place that some youtuber made a video about or that is highly rated on tabelog, pretty much ANY random sushi, ramen, udon, izakaya, etc... place will be an enjoyable dining experience for a first time traveler, just walk into random places, have fun, form your own favorites

This is like someone saying they're coming to america and asking if chilis, tgi fridays or applebees is better; yeah i know which one is the best (it's chilis and it isnt even fucking close) but what if there's only an applebees near where you're staying?

I keep tricking myself into joining these lines or buying the japanese hype about certain places. The last time was some scallop tsukemen place in Tokyo where you have to get there at like 8 am to put your name down. Waited for 2 hours, put my name down, came back for my reservation at 12pm or so. It was... pretty standard tsukemen with added pretension and them telling me the correct way to eat it. Sometimes Japanese people huff their own farts too much about this stuff. I know at least two tsukemen places that were better, one of them always has a long line at lunch though but at least I don't need to fucking go there twice in one day.

>>2892599
Japanese people line up because it's some shop that was on TV. They don't go because it's good. They go because a D tier celebrity ate it and said "umai". When I see long lines, I know the shop is mid. I refuse to wait now because it's always a disappointment. 10 minutes is the max I'll endure.

Correct. It's the Meji Jingu in Tokyo. Always end up here once every Japan trip. I can appreciate a well curated/created forest.

>>2892321
There’s so many desu
Hananomai
Isomarusuisan (if you like seafood)
Sushi tofuro
Torikizoku if you count yakitori as izakaya
Bunches with the word yakiton in the name

Off the top of my head

I want to do a travel to japan for around 21 days.
I want to start with tokyo and either end up in Kyushu or Osaka (I want to see both)
However there does not seem to be a lot going on in Kyushu.
I want to go mostly to see all the Christian Stuff. But maybe I should keep it short? What do you anons think??

>>2892790
christian stuff, what do you mean like churches and the jesus was born here thing?

fukuoka is the big city in kyushu that is worth checking out. also mount aso looks insane. Takachiho Gorge is a famous tourist spot. also theres a lot of onsens

>>2892790
Nagasaki is the only place in Japan with any Christian shit worth seeing unless you really love Francis Xavier and don't mind small, mundane exhibits

Onsens are everywhere, niggy
>>2892804
Thats what I thought too, I'm making a couple stops... Moriya shrine, oarai and hinamizawa
I like Christian stuff but I'm probably just going to spend a couple days there in nagasaki and then finish my travel in kansai region

>>2892790
The churches charge money to see. It's funny how Christianity sticks to its roots in Japan: as a Jewish scheme to get money from goyim.

It's cloudy in Tokyo and the temperature isn't that high, but I'm already drenched in sweat after walking just about 500 meters.

Is Japan "saar"ed out? Might not go if so

>>2892971
It is. It's out of control. I'd visit Taiwan or China instead.

> Staying for a month in a tourist area in Osaka
> Whole suburb is jeeted out every weekend
It's all so tiring

>looking forward to going to osaka for a month soon
>people saying it's jeeted
Are you fucking kidding me?
I was last really exploring Japan almost 20 years ago. I'm going to get fucking culture shocked when I go back aren't I

Shills are paid by israel to spam this board (and site) with demoralisation and one of their favourite kinds of posts is 'Japan is over goy there is nowhere left for you young white men to run just give up and die already!'

Yeah a clue here is he's talking about a suburb. Wtf is a tourist doing in a suburb in Japan? They're called bedtowns in Japan because even the people who live there do little besides commute to the city from there.

is Yokohama a bland commuter town like saitama, or worth visiting?

Sure, if you prefer the Indonesians

>>2893031
It's a typical port city. Pleasant enough and anything of interest is in walking distance. Might as well just stay in Tokyo and see what you can as a day trip.

Osakako is where the cruise ships come in, there's literally thousands of tourists every few days and this is where they get off their boat
also the aquarium, ferris wheel, universal studios is a short 2 minutes free ferry ride across the bay
I'm telling you right now, even though it's 6 km out of the city this place especially on the weekends feels like little India some times
and yet other days is incredible quiet and properly a chill Japanese suburb
such a weird place

I'm going to spend 3 weeks in tokyo, any suggestions?

>>2893076
>I'm going to spend 3 weeks in tokyo, any suggestions?
touch grass and have sex

>>2893031
Their Chinatown is cool especially if they are doing a parade or somesuch,

>>2893072
Yeah every Japanese port has a ferris wheel for some reason, some of them are even still operational. Doesn't mean anyone actually goes there.

>>2893031
If you like naval history and museum ships at all you should check out the ijn mikasa in yokosuka, which a bit south of yokohama. I went earlier this year, and stopped by on the way back to tokyo in yokohama and wandered around chinatown and ate a bunch of stuff and had an overall good time

My suburb is fucking packed each weekend. I truly couldn't care about some low tier cities and what happens there.

Some people may even call your suburb an urb minus the sub.

>tfw I have to go home today
It's the worst type of dread knowing this is the longest I'll be away from Japan for at least a year

That's a long time in their summer.
I've never been to Japan during that season - but you might want to consider renting a car to drive out of Tokyo to their beach tourist spots - Enoshima, Atami, Kamakura, etc

>>2893137
Been 3 years since my trip and seeing pictures still gives me a strange feeling of homesickness. I come to these threads and listen to the FamilyMart jingle just to feel something.

>>2892808
every region in japan broadly has the same things, you asked for things to do in kyushu those are the things niggy

Spent 2 weeks in Tokyo/Kyoto back in March. My biggest regret? Not going to soap service thingy.
Jokes aside (or not?), would going to Japan again later this year be too soon? Maybe go to Okinawa.

It's 20 minutes at best into the city
If I spend too much time over at universal and miss the last ferry it's like 25 minutes to travel 2 km as the crow flies

>>2893234
*25 mins in a taxi
On a train it's about 40 mins. I should bring swimmers and just make my own way across the bay

How's Japan in December? I'm thinking of maybe doing Mt Fuji marathon.
