Japan General

>>1191972
I was invited to go down to do the shiminami kaido cycling thing, anything must see in that area?

Going to Japan in 2018, feels really bad man.

>>1191936
Are you kidding me? Read the fucking thread (the old one)

>tfw gundam takedown announcement was 2 days after I booked my flight for april

kill me

>>1191982
>going to Japan in August for 2.5 weeks and Comiket
>really wanted to see it
>can't

I know that pain anon... I didn't look it up too much, was there a specific reason for the takedown?

>>1191975
2019 here, count yourself lucky.

>>1191975
>>1192011
2017 here, feels good man.

>>1192012
Hey 2017 anon, with the anime coming out next year and japan trip. I can't wait for what 2017 has in store.

Really hoping 3500 is enough to get a lot out of japan in 3 weeks(flight and hotel paid for).

>>1192008
They're gonna rebuild it so it can walk for the 2020 Olympics obviously.

You can choose one, and only one, dining experience/restaurant in Tokyo. Which one is it, which is the one that will always be an unremarkable experience?

>>1192018
If money is an issue, Kagaya maybe Shiba Tofuya Ukai.

>>1191975
Going in March, then again next December, then probably again the following March. Still not sure if I want to deal with it being even more crowded than usual for the 2020 olympics plus it's gonna be fucking hot

Just an Akihabara question, I'm a dude who is into dansou chicks but only really because of the short hair. There were a few cuties soliciting their dansou cafes and that got me wondering if guys actually go there or if it's just a fujoshi thing. I'd really love to go and get a cheki or something.

>>1192013
1200 a week is more than enough to have an amazing time.

>>1192012
>>1192011
>>1191975
Regularly have to travel to Japan for work, you guys are lucky Japan is something to look forward and the anticipation/ finally getting there is amazing

>>1192018
there's this restaurant in Shibuya that has really great Gyoza

>>1191976
Please post pics and videos of the meet up when he inevitably spills his spaghetti

>>1192110
Gotta admit you are right. There's nothing like traveling to a country for the first time. Maybe I have to wait until 2018, but it will feel goddamm awesome once I'm in.

>>1192144
This. Please someone vlog the whole thing.

>>1192148
Why do you want to look at a bunch of strangers eating grilled meat?

>>1192172
Because I don't enjoy my life and I prefer watching others through vlogs.

Going to Japan this March with my boyfriend and some friends. We're mostly planning to stay in Tokyo. If any of you have some recommendations for food/nightlife/getting the most out of Tokyo, I'd love to hear them! I'm also wondering if any of you know of good stores in Akihabara that sell figurines that aren't massively overpriced.

>>1191975
Going in December 2018. Gonna try for Okinawa then Hokkaido

>>1191982
>check reward point balances
>barely have enough for RT flight to see the Gundam before it goes

I think I have a weekend trip in February coming up now, if I can actually find award availability.

>>1192225
I'll be also visiting Okinawa but it will be in October 2018.

I'm so anxious about this trip, I'm really looking forward to it.

>>1192224
Most stores in Akihabara aren't massively overpriced, if you're talking about used figures some of them are massively overpriced because they generally are only released once and that's it.

would you recommend a visit to j world tokyo? i checked videos of it on youtube and it doesn't look like there's much there.
but it's only a 10min walk from my airbnb sooo i was thinking i could give it a shot

What would be better to visit in July, Okinawa or Hokkaido?

>>1192318
Hokkaido IMO, Okinawa isn't that interesting the culture and food is love/hate and the island as a whole feels like Hawaii lite

>>1192323
Thank you! What are some things to do in Hokkaido in July??

>>1192318
Hokkaido to avoid the rainy season

Okinawa is better in August or maybe September/October

>>1192325
What should I do in Hokkaido?

In Osaka drinking sake. Anyone down?

>>1192146
Especially such a old country. It's full of amazing building and traditions.

>>1192333
I'm on Osaka and would like to try some sake. I'm only 18 though, don't know whether I'll be served or not.

>>1192328
Hokkaido things

>>1192358
You will, only clubs check ID

>>1192129

>>1192129
There's this restaurant in Japan that has really great ramen.

>>1192364
No idea unfortunately, but I could find my way there from Shibuya station I think
>>1192371
yeah I've been to that one too!

>>1192371
am i the only one who didn't find restaurant ramen much better than instant? the noodles were still kinda stale and starchy, and the broth tasted only slightly better

Anyone been to Fujikawaguchiko? Been thinking of renting a bike there and taking it around a portion of the lake.

chepeast flights from tokio to anywhere? south korea seem kind of boring.

>>1192377

you must be joking. next time go to Nagi Rami in Golden Gai district. Best bowl of noodles I've ever had. Literally felt drunk after.

>>1192377
yeah, I think you're the only one

Hey senpaitachi. Thinking of travelling to Japan either next year or 2018 to watch some wrestling shows. Shame about the 1/1 Gundam being taken down though.

How much pocket money would you guys suggest? Aside from shopping money and airfare, of course. Thanks!

>>1192410

>>1192013
I did 4 weeks in Japan for 3500 and I didnt need anything. Also included in the 3500 was plane, hotels and 21 day JR pass.

I'm in Japan early April and wanted to go to one of the major spring festivals like Takayama Spring Festival or the Yayoisai festival in Nikko, but it seems like I'm SOL trying to find a room there at this point. Especially as a single traveler.
Anyone maybe know any nice places close by to those or maybe some other lesser known festivals during that time?
I'm kinda having the same problem trying to find a nice place to stay in Kyoto, but it being a larger city I'm sure I'm going to figure something out there.

>>1191972
Just FYI I got a two week JR Pass for around 390

Would it be stupid of me to book a hotel in Tokyo for a week (late December to ealy January) without booking a flight in the hopes of getting a cheap flight in the near future?

>>1192535
Yes.

>>1192535
Do it, but make sure that the hotel reservation can be canceled for free.

What are some places I should go to in Western Japan to make use of my JR Pass? Right now I've only got Hiroshima on my list. Already been to Kyoto and I'm currently in Osaka.

Anyone ever been to yonaguni?

I kinda want to go there, but I'm worried about weather ruining my chance to dive those underwater ruins if I can only stay there for a night. Also, anyone have any experience with the ferry from there to ishigaki?

>>1192538
Nara, Gifu, Nagoya, Wakayama, Kobe, Isu (izu?).....

>>1191972

Currently in Japan and I'm filming a few bits for some small videos to share. I just wish I could understand what people are saying here.

What's something fun I can do in Osaka to pass the time until 1745? It's currently 1506.

>>1192561
Shit man, I hope you're safe. You've got about a hundred years until you're out of the Sengoku period.

>>1192561
I just arrived in Osaka, lets do something.

>>1192562
kek that got me good

No really though, what activity should I partake in?

>>1192565
Let's. I'm going to be in Dotonbori in about ten minutes, just waiting for the time to pass until the 1745 Rogue One session starts.

Are you in Osaka station?

>>1192567
I'm in Namba in my hotel room, do you have Line or something?

>>1192568
Yeah I do. Username's sparksflynn

>>1192562

Arriving in Tokyo on the 28th, want to go to the boxing on the 30th and/or 31st, anybody want to come with?

Also does anybody know how to book japanese boxing tickets?

>>1192390
Yeah.
Don´t even think of going if there´s the slightest hint of clouds that day.

Me and a friend will be 7 days in Tokyo, what hotels do you guys recommend that have a good price?

>>1192614
The cheap ones

>>1192561
Wait about 1 hundred years and look for a samurai who smells of sunflowers

So I was at a mall when a bunch of people started forming a line. I wanted to ask what the line was for but don't know how. Anyone know?

>>1192661

Nice one my man

>>1192665

What's the best way I can let then know I'm shit at Japanese while still wanting an answer for the line? They were a bunch of otaku looking folk so I was mildly intrigued.

Anyone know what I should do in Nagoya?

Anything interesting worth checking out?
Where to eat?
Where to drink and meet people?

So I'm going to Tokyo in early January, and I've been thinking about taking a day trip to some decent onsen place. Is, say, going to Hakone worth it?

Heads up guys. The Yen has fallen a bit further so it's a good time to get your money sorted. I'm about $150 down as I changed my money too early.

Not sure if it helps with flights, but will probably help accommodation and obviously with spending money.

>>1192801

I know that feel, but you really shouldn't think of it that way because you never know which way the market is going.

Do they accept gajin credit cards when you buy a ticket for the NEX?

If not is there an international ATM in the Narita airport?

I'd rather not have to get jewed by the airport currency exchange before I find make it to a 7-11

>>1192814
Yes they will take your gaijin credit card, but unless you have one with no foreign transaction fee you're still getting jewed. There's plenty of cards to choose from, and many with no annual fee. Alternatively, get a Charles Schwab checking account. Completely fee-free, no foreign transaction fees on the debit card they give you, and ALL atm fees are refund to you at the end of each month.

>>1192695
My suggestions would be skip the castle, go Toyota museum, eat miso nikomi udon or tebasaki, if you are staying for more than a day do day trips to shirakawa or ise grand shrine. I personally think the Mie/Gifu/ Aichi area is the best in Japan for long time expats, lower cost of living, large Brazilian and American communities because of manufacturing and heavy industries.

Hey Japan General, I'll be going to Japan in 4 weeks and I was wondering what my best options are for having internet access on my phone/devices, I am able to tether from my phone. I was considering a pupuru but I'm curious about what other options I may have, like a travel sim or something. I really only need internet, call minutes and texting aren't necessary. Thanks in advance for any advice you're able to give me.

>>1192614
Shiba Park Hotel, it's reasonably cheap and in an incredibly convenient location.

Got about three weeks between Osaka and Kyoto. Is Osaka worth spending a lot of time in if I'm already used to the city life in Tokyo and I've never been in Kyoto?

What's up with this dates? Are you guys had troubles\delays with visa?

Pretty bored in tokyo right now , it's my second trip and I've got stuff to do during the days but I'm somewhat lost at night because I'm not really into clubs. I'd like to meet girls but don't think just walking up to random girls on the street would accomplish much. Is Mogra cool? I imagine it's 95% male at best

>>1192948
>I'd like to meet girls
>I'm not really into clubs

Then you'd better start getting into clubs if you want to meet girls.

>>1192949
Well, any recommendations lad

>>1192954
Fuck if I know nigga, I'm not into clubs either.

But go to bars and shit in Roppongi. Find yourself a gaijinhunter if you want a girl to fuck.

Depends on where you go. I had some pretty garbage sushi in Japan, but I also had excellent sushi as well. Also you have to avoid places like Kappa Sushi.

Hey guys, I'm leaving today for Japan for a month. I'm staying at a share house in Tokyo and have zero plans. What should I do there?

>>1193028
Kill yourself.

>>1193029

Try jumping onto rail tracks or off a building. It's a very japanese thing to do.

>>1193028
Wait until night, run around Tokyo extremely drunk. Ride a bike while drinking Japanese whiskey. Later grab some shitty Japanese food from a 7 eleven and get to your hotel. Eat and watch some shitty Japanese TV shows.
Hope this makes you have a good day.

'sup guys.

I'm leaving for Japan in 3 weeks and wanted to buy a Laptop.
I wanted to get something more powerful, you know suited for videogames.

Prices are too much here, though that maybe I could buy one in Japan, since technology in Japan is a bit cheaper to the close distance to the Thailand slavery sweatshops.

Is it cheaper? Or will the CPU-Yakuza rip me off?

>>1193040
do you think shipping is the expensive part? VAT is the only thing that matters with tech, otherwise the prices are the same worldwide. you might find a decent used one though, but a "gaming" computer is always a scam

>>1193049
Well, I'm aware that a gaming notebook is a stupid decision and that a self-build desktop can outperform "gaming PCs" easily, yet I will move every 2 or 3 months from city to city and want something easy to carry.

Can't carry a fucking tower PC every few weeks from place to place, it will already be shitty enough to carry my two bags all over Japan.

>>1193052
if you really need to blow 800$ on a toy hamburgerstan is still probably your best bet

>>1193040
Prices are significantly higher in Japan for laptops than compared to prices I am am familiar with in North America, also a gaming laptop is a ripoff and command an even higher premium in Japan.

>>1192989
You are going to the wrong places mate, very few places in the United States can match a good sushi restaurant in Japan.

What options do i have if I bring an unlocked phone like a oneplus3t with me? I'm planning around being there for 2+ years.

>>1193055
>>1193057
I'm in Europe though.

The "good" laptops start arround 1200€ - that's way too much for me.
Oh well, then I just get myself a netbook. No videogames in Japan for me then.

>>1193061
buying and using a sim card like everyone else?

>>1193067
Someone had been telling me that you had to buy phones in country to be allowed on their mobile networks when he was stationed there. I wanted to know if it was still that way.

>>1193068
no, but you need to make sure your phone supports the same bands as the one provided in japan(it probably definately does) and that their phone isn't locked like your friends

>>1193071
Know of any tri-band phones that arent shit? Or am I stuck with euro-asia models and just fucked if I get sent back to the states?

What's some touristy shit I can do in Kyoto? Only thing I got planned in this city is Kinkaku-ji.

>>1193233
Step 1. Start at Yasaka Shrine.

Step 2. Walk (yes walk) towards Kiyomizudera temple.

Voila! You've got a whole day planned. Walking between Yasaka shrine and Kiyomizudera will let you explore the old streets. That look like something lifted out of the Meiji-era.

And another day can be devoted to Nishiki market. Since Kyoto is famous for it's food and ingredients.

Skip it. Overpriced and not worth their time.

Just got back from a day in Akhibara. So crazy and so much fun. The maid cafe was a disappointment. I went to Jam and they wouldn't let me take photos. They were strange and unprofessional too. I could only communicate with one of the girls working, but for some reason it wasn't her that served me, so it was a bit awkward. At the end of the meal I tried to call one of the three girls working over to get my phone from the wall where it was charging. They all looked at me and we're hesitant to come over before one finally did like an "oh fuck it,, the rest of you are daft/being ridiculous gesture" and came over. No clue why. My only guess is they saw my camera on the floor pointing upwards. Its cap was on and it was only there because I had no room on the table, but maybe they thought I was trying to take up skirts or some shit.

Went to go to another but they were going to charge 500 for photos.

Super Potato was awesome. I played some baseball robot best em up on the top floor. The toy store Yamashiroya was also amazing. Way better than the cultural center, which I could only see someone liking if they're way into figurines.


Also, Mosburger was really cool for delicious Japanese style hamburgers

Now I'm alone in Shibuya trying to figure out what to do tn

>>1193318
>The maid cafe was a disappointment.
They probably get a lot of weeb foreigners trying to act out their fantasies on them and the placement of your camera probably didn't help at all. Did you go alone? How was the food and drinks? Do you have a picture of the menu? Better luck next time I suppose.

>>1193331

Ugh, maybe you're right. I made a point of leaving the camera on the table with its cap on after I noticed their weirdness.

I had the miss stew. It was good, but I don't have anything to compare it to. Had a microbrew brown ale too which was really nice. All in all, wish I'd gone to one of the many other cheaper places with way better menus. I don't know why Jam shows up first on Google maps. As far as I'm aware, their claim to fame is that they'll draw anything you ask using ketchup. Have fun, pervs

yes

Is venomous shit (snakes) on all 4 of the main Islands?

And bears; where in Hokkaido shouldn't I be wild camping?

So is prostitution allowed all those
Sites say no intercourse

>>1192990
dont help a nigger that cant even speak weeb

>>1193540
Intercourse is the only thing that isn't allowed. However some places like Tobita Shinchi get around that by offering the service of food and drinks in a private room, and saying that what happens between the girl and the guest is private and totally not what the guest is paying 16,000 yen for.

>>1193540
A lot of those sites say no intercourse because they have to. Depends on the site but intercourse is definitely negotiable. You're better off going to review sites and looking at what others say about it

>>1193562
Adding to this, you could go to a soap land and get guaranteed full service but they're fucking expensive. Personally I'm flying to Hong Kong/Macau in the middle of my trip for a few days to fuck prostitutes because it's cheaper and legal

Is it worth taking the shinkansen all the way back to Tokyo from Osaka just to see the Emperor on Friday?

So, I'm hanging in Akasaka for a couple weeks. I've got a question about booze, but it's actually more of a question about the US than anything else.

Here's the info:
I'm 19, traveling alone, and I've stocked up on atrange foreign booze. I'm planning on either throwing it in a checked bag or mailing it to myself. I'd obviously prefer the checked bag since its cheaper, but still. I'm following all of the guidelines of my airline for alcohol (Delta: no more than 3 liters of alcohol between 29% and 70%), but technically someone under 21 can't import alcohol to the US, even in a checked bag.

Here's the question:
Will I be stopped / my booze taken if I have it checked? Will the customs agent see there's booze in my bag when I say I have nothing to declare? If they do, will they crosscheck that with the fact that I'm under 21 and wreck me?

Any info would help!

>tl;dr
>I'm under 21, traveling alone, and want to import booze to the US. How do?

>>1193577
Is it really worth the shit alcohol you enjoy when you're 19? And as a minor your aren't following their guidelines. Here's the answer you're looking for, you'll get caught if you get caught. It depends on how vigilant the person at customs is if they want to get the police involved or simply confiscate it. I'm guessing you'll do it anyway not get caught and think you're a badass for it.

>>1193577
So 19 it hurts

>>1193585
desu how much trouble would they really be in? OP just says "oh it was a present, it's not open" and the shit gets thrown in the garbage right? Realistically I doubt the TSA agent would bother to call the authorities on an underage drinking case.

anyone have advice about going to see the snow monkeys in Yamanouchi. Will be there early February. Is it worth it to go there?

Planning a trip soon. Is 3300 USD including plane and accommodation enough for two weeks? Should I just shorten it to one?

>>1193608
Yes. It'll be enough.

Where are the best massage parlors where I won't be robbed by Yakuza? I don't want sex, I just want hot women giving me a massage.

Any fireworks display in Tokyo or thereabouts soon?

>>1193577
>>1193585
in theory they can fuck you for illegal smuggling lel 5 years in prison but they won't do shit in practice. even if you get hitler himself and he pulls out your bottles worst thing possible is a phone call to dad and pouring out 50$ of shit.
t. brought home 5 liters of booze from japan at 19

>>1193620
If you don't want to get robbed, just make sure the place doesn't stink of Chinese, Korean or Russian mafia.
The Japanese yakuza generally doesn't do petty things like robbery, especially not of tourists - it's more trouble than it's worth with the police, and also it's shameful to make your money rolling people when you could make it through more effective and less embarrassing means (mainly protection, smuggling and fraud).
The Japanese yakuza isn't likely to rob you because they're already fixed for what they need and don't need more trouble with the police - if you get robbed, all of a sudden the embassy is involved and they're going to have to work like hell to get out scot-free.
The Chinese, the Koreans and the Russians don't have the contacts they need to make money in other ways than robbery, drug dealing, prostitution and just general opportunism - they want all the money they can get to stay in the country and can't afford to let a mark go if they look like they're loaded.
A yakuza member who just casually robs you is going to have something very difficult to explain the next day on his hands and knees, and is probably going to get his teeth knocked in. For a foreign group, it's business as usual because the Japanese yakuza is sitting on the prettier business.

>>1193577
please just stop
why are you this desperate for a drink

t. 22
drinking is nothing special, certainly not worth getting in trouble with the law

Unless I'm reading hyperdia wrong, Narita to Nozawa onsen takes about 10 hours in the late evening? Should I just take the shuttle bus?

>>1193635
Because he consider it as a "fuck the system" achievement and brag about it to his stupid ass friends.

Going to be taking the shinkansen from Narita to Osaka on the 31st of December.

I hear it can get pretty busy with everyone travelling to see family around that time. Anyone have an idea of how ugly it might be for me? Should I have to worry about not being able to get a seat/ticket on the shinkansen?

Should I carry less luggage? This also goes into another question which is; I was originally planning on taking two roller luggage cases (one with some clothes, one empty for purchases). How difficult would it be with two vs having just one? Is it hard to find space for your luggage?

>>1193644
>Should I have to worry about not being able to get a seat/ticket on the shinkansen?
Yes.

>Is it hard to find space for your luggage?
Yes.

If you can find another way to transport your luggage, do so. Get your tickets (reserved) as soon as possible. They might already be sold out.

>>1193644
Your country's "rush hour" is the Tokyo area's day off.
Yes to both of your questions, and how. Order a ticket right now, or you're going to be standing in the boundary between cars with your face pushed up the wall, and you're going to be in everyone's way if you have even a single bag.
I have no fucking idea why you thought it would be a bright idea to lug two fucking roller cases through the most congested urban agglomeration in the world in the one busiest season.
You'll be in for a hell of a trip if that's the amount of research you do.

>>1193646
Thanks.

>>1193647
Thanks, Autismo-kun.


I've purchased a JR Pass already, but I'm not in Japan yet so I can't really reserve anything online except JR East lines it looks like (which doesn't have anything going to Shin-Osaka Station in it).

I'm fine with just taking one case lightly packed with clothing, but I'm now I'm really more worried about just being able to get to Shin-Osaka station. Do you guys think it would make any difference to leave on the 30th instead? (can't leave any earlier because that's the day I fly into Narita)

Also, is it really that bad that I might not be able to get out of Shinagawa Station to Shin-Osaka at all on the 31st? I'm fine with being in crowded places; more worried that I wouldn't have a way to get to Shin-Osaka Station.

Went to Mandrake today. It's only really interesting if you're a hard core weeb. Also went all the way to Ghibli museum but none of you fags told me you had to book a reservation

Anyone in or around Shibuya down to go get a drink somewhere and try to pick up chicks? Preferably not a club

>>1193665
> mandarake
> only interesting for weebs
Whoa, who could imagine...
> didn't inform about Ghibli reservation
Because there is no need to visit that tourist trap, it's bs, you missed nothing

>>1193665

>>1193689
it's great actually

>>1193567
Japan is good because the girls are a great deal hotter than women in those countries.

Average japanese girls can be considered top tier cuties already, the ones that work in the red light are a great deal hotter than those.

How much would a session at a soapland normally cost?

And what can you do at a soapland? Does it depend on the place?

>>1193697
20,000 yen at minimum and it goes up to 50,000 and 100,000 yen for the top tier ones (you wont be able to get into them because you're a gaijin and there's no difference for a visitor for the top tier ones and the lower ones anyways)

Also you can do everything except hurt the girl and you need to follow instructions which is why some japanese is needed. Depending on the time to pay you can either go for 60 mins or longer and there's mat play where they bathe you and the bed portion. You cant have both if you choose the cheapest one due to no time. You also need to find a gaijin friendly one.

http://www.yoshiwara-otome.com/top.html

Hjnere's one staffed by 18 year old girls friendly towards gaijin. There's others that might fit your taste but I suggest you find out yourself.

>>1193699
Well shit. So is there basically no <20,000 yen option for anything involving intercourse in Tokyo?

>>1193700
There is but it involves going into yoshiwara, getting a guy say psst hey kid you wanna have sex?

Then they show you to a woman that is most of the time pretty old for 10,000 yen. Sometimes you get lucky and get a hot one though but that involves finding the info from japanese forums that specializes in this which I doubt you'll be able to find.

>>1193703
I see, thanks. One more question.

Are the maid cafes that I see advertised in Akihabara the ones where you get your dick sucked? Or is that just one where the servers dress up like maids and do what you ask, but nothing sexual?

Wouldn't the one where you get your dick sucked be kinda weird because you're surrounded by a bunch of other people?

>>1193705
Nothing sexual.

If you want to get your dick sucked find a Pink Salon, they're everywhere. Or a boob bar.

>>1193706
>Pink Salon

Ah yeah that's what I was thinking of. Thanks.

>>1193707
by the way there's a large section of every OP devoted to this shit so retards like you don't have to ask it every single thread

>>1193696
Most women in the world are fuckable if they aren't fat, grow up without being totally poor, and without having to do hard labor.

Japan has a huge percentage of women that fit this criteria. But there are still fatties and plenty of girls with just straight up ugly faces just like the rest of the world. The teeth thing is getting under control in Japan but there are tons of girls with fucked up grills as well.

>>1193644
Ugly like standing on the Shinkansen near the door the entire way ugly, because that's what I did on a Shinkansen ride from Kyoto to Tokyo that day a couple years ago

>Go to Tokyo for eight days with my partner last month.
>I'd say we got to see about 40-50% of everything we planned to see.
>We agree that we'll learn the language and travel around more when we eventually go back.
>He springs it on me today that he's looking to go back to Tokyo next year and wants things booked by March at the latest.

I'm not really sure what to think or do. Tokyo was amazing and I can imagine it's the most accessible place in the country for people who don't speak the language, but it was still a bit difficult to find places to eat. I also don't want to be one of those 'travellers' that just goes to the same places and does the same things every time they visit a country, but we did leave a lot of things unseen in Tokyo and the surrounding areas. Any Japan travellers have anything to say about staying in Tokyo again?

>>1193644
>I was originally planning on taking two roller luggage cases
>one empty for purchases

Fucking faggot. Are you Chinese? Are you bringing home 4 rice cookers and every other stupid trinket you can get your hands on? Why inconvenience literally everyone on your journey because you're a greedy chink with no fiscal sense?

kys post haste.

>>1193784
it's much more likely he's a weeb who's planning on taking home anime merch and stuff. Or maybe just a shit ton of Japanese snacks/souvenirs

>>1193788
He should kill himself even faster then.

>>1193780
why not try Kyoto this time?

>>1193784
Jesus settle down. This cases are actually pretty small. I'll be staying for almost 3 weeks so I want to have some room to buy some clothes and other things while I'm there.

>>1193791
Because I'm going to buy merchandise/clothing/stuff I like while I'm on a trip in Japan? Not really following this; what do I need to spend my money on to be in your good graces?

>>1193791
I think it'll mainly be clothing, but I'll probably pick up a few weeby things (and of course souvenirs for friends & family).

>>1193795
I know this is an odd question, but how similar to Tokyo would you say Kyoto is? One thing I loved in Tokyo was the beautiful mixture of scenery, shopping and technology. Any research I've done on Kyoto has been overwhelmingly beautiful, but how is it for the other things?

>>1193800
Well, it's comprised of the same letters. Coincidence? I think not

You don't need an entire roller bag for 3 weeks worth of clothes purchases and a handful of trinkets you delusional faggot.

You're not doing any research. Admit it.

Well duh, my research on Kyoto consists of anything I saw on sidebars from a year of researching Tokyo and a ten minute search just now after my partner sprung this on me today. No need to point out the obvious to make you feel superior on an anonymous imageboard.

How many niggers are in Japan?

I was at my countries embassy to apply for a visa and they had like 8 niggers in the visa room, applying for gib me dats.

When the clerk searched for my application she went through like 20 other applications, I could see the passport photos of each one, everyone was a nigger.

Nagoya had a freshwater aquarium with giant salamanders but it is very out of the way for western tourists who usually only do Tokyo, Kyoto/Osaka triangle. It is not worth visiting if that is your only goal for Nagoya.

>>1193805
>>1193808
Honestly I don't get this need to be so toxic and lash out at others. Like >>1193809 said, if this is where you can feel superior in life, that's nice, but people are honestly just looking for help and sometime don't know any better. Save your shitposts for elsewhere, please.

Also you'd be surprised (and you only, really, I'm pretty sure most people realize that you can end up with quite a few things with you after spending money on a long trip) at the amount of stuff you can buy in 3 weeks and the volume they'd take up.

>>1193809
For real though, Kansai-ben is annoying. Also Kyoto is mostly temples and shrines and stuff, of course there's shopping like any other major city but the main draw is the cultural stuff. A little more nature than central Tokyo

Flying to Tokyo in 12 hours. Never been overseas or on a flight longer than an hour.

So nervous, flying is my biggest fear, I will most likely have a 9 hour long panic attack.

Thinking of just ditching the flight. This fucking sucks

>>1193830
Don't worry. Even if the plane falls think about it, you'll probably die instantly.

>>1193602
Apparently it's so interesting some group tours will stop by Nagano just to visit there. Like the one I've booked. Not sure if it's worth it for the monkeys alone, but there's Nagano to visit, too, plus various hot springs...

>>1193832

I have a huge fear of death though. Always have. I have 12 hours to fix this

>>1193830
From where are you approaching Japan?
If you go from Europe to Japan, you probably get shot down over Ukraine or the middle east, crash into the himalaya or be used as target practice for the chinese government.

If you come over the pacific you're safe.

>>1193838
From Sydney to Japan

>>1193840
Then take a fucking boat if you're afraid of flying.

>>1193835
Same fear here, and I also hate flying. But, for your luck, I've already researched on this before my firsts flights. Most deaths that occur on a plane are on the takeoff and landing. So if you survive the takeoff you should be ok until the landing. It helped me reduce the panic attacks to only those moments. Also try to sit on the back of the airplane as you have more chances of survival. Hope you a nice flight.

>>1193835
You'll die eventually anyway, idiot. It doesn't matter when

>>1193835
Most people have a huge fear of death. At least you haven't had to pull dead people out of a plane crash. You're more likely to die in a car accident anyway

>>1193852
Once these two planes collided near where I live. Huge ball of flame, then it literally rained body parts all over town.
First to the scene were the junior firefighters. Oops.
Rescue services spent weeks locating all the bits and pieces.

Well, if you do die in a plane crash, at least you won't die alone, eh?

>>1193840
These Jetstar check-in times are no joke.

>>1193866
I know that feel, I pulled a couple charred corpses out of a skydiving plane after it crashed. Still not afraid of flying though, I probably won't be skydiving anytime soon

>>1193882

Infections, car accidents, bystanders with bullets in their heads, cancer, sudden cardiac death from a condition you never knew you had until you just drop dead at 18... fuck it. As a doctor, I've seen it all. Only thing it ever made me avoid was owning a motorcycle, otherwise, hashtag yoloswag. I should go skydiving again...

Have any of you guys been to a big concert in Japan? Think I might be going to a 1500-ish capacity sold-out show in Tokyo. Not sure of etiquette. I love getting too drunk and singing along.

>>1193883
Man, just getting certified as an EMT made me paranoid about all kinds of shit you can die from with no hope of being save. Can't imagine what being a doctor would feel like

>>1193887

If anything, it helps me live a hell of a lot more than I used to. Gone are the MMORPG days. But I am terrified of shit now that, before, I didn't know existed. Like a pontine basilar infarct leading to locked-in syndrome.

Any good suggestions for purchasing yen? I'm watching the value go up and down, but not sure if it is worth it.

I have $3,500-$5,000 to travel and will have sufficient vacation days by June. This will be my first vacation I ever take. What should I really do in Japan. I've done a little research on quite a few countries and I'm dead set on a vacation to Japan, but what do you guys think I should do while I'm there?
>21 years of age
>9-12 days of vacation time
>6 months to learn some basic vocal Japanese to survive
>Interested in Sports, Drinking, and History

Honestly as this is my first time traveling I'm not sure how I should organize it. Should I travel between 2-3 cities or just stay in Tokyo? Should I organize the trip myself or buy a vacation package? I'm kind of lost as this will be my first vacation that doesn't involve pitching a tent in the woods and fishing, or going home to see mom and friends

>>1193841
Sharks

>>1193904
Get a train pass and plan out some routes/places along the railways.

I'm doing 3 weeks, mainly staying in tokyo but taking the train to places like hiroshima, kyoto, doing a 2 day trip to fiji, and going to some old places like Takayama

>>1193901
There's no sense in speculating currency unless you're George Soros. Just transfer it whenever.

>>1193904
First is don't go during June that's like the worst time

>>1193901
Buy it for what? Traveling in the near future or making a profit out of it?
If you are trying save 10 dollars for your travel, don't even bother, just get your yen when you are in Japan and you should be fine. Otherwise go to /biz/ and ask for help on how to enter the currency market and make a living out of it(protip: you won't).
If your are saving money and don't want any kind of devaluation on it, search if there is some bank in your country with a saving plan that keeps your money at the same value (don't know how to call it in English).

>>1193904
Go eat and drink with locals. Start up random convos and ask them to show you around. They're very friendly when drunk over there so take advantage.

Def give Osaka/Kyoto a visit. Tokyo is fine, but it's not the only place in Japan worth visiting. Especially since you're interested in history going to both those places would be well worth your time.

I'm going to be flying in to Fukuoka on the 30th of this month, but all my friends are tied up with family stuff until the afternoon of the 1st. Any ideas what I should do on New Year's Eve?

>>1193935
Nah traveling semi soon, just trying to get the most out of my money since I am converting around 4grand

>>1193954
Go have fun at a yatai. Loads of people will be drunk in the streets so have fun interacting. They're harmless.

New Years Eve in Japan isn't so much a thing as is New Years Day. Everyone goin to temples with family and eating at home so prepare for almost everything to be closed.

Can you guys recommend me a good onsen place to take a day trip to from Tokyo?

Probably some ghibli related hoodie(totoro) and a few exotic candies. As always, we can't help you that much if you dont specify a little bit more. You could have told as that she is 13 and into anime, and my recommendation would've been to buy her fujoshi stuff but instead, I went with the cute present and the rare candies to level her up.

If you could only go to one, would you visit Nara or Hiroshima?

>>1193978
Thanks. Yeah she's 13 but not into anime at all. She's as normie as you can get.

She did mention something about some small metal plate with her name on it in Japanese, though I'm not sure where I'd get that from.

>>1193980
Hiroshima. Nara is really only interesting when you're bored of Kyoto, but aren't totally bored of all temples and shrines

>>1193962
>tfw the only day of the year when the trains run all night is the one night of the year where Japanese people aren't being alcoholics and are doing serious things at night

>>1193980
Day trip? Nara. Overnight stay? Miyajima.

Tbh, activities in Nara can be completed in ≤2 hrs. The deer novelty wears off quickly. And although Todaiji is goddamn impressive, it can be toured in like 20 minutes. lol. All the other touristy things in Nara arne't worth the time that could be spent towards other things in Kyoto or places in western Japan.

I just got back home after a week in Japan and have that post-travel sad going...

Staying in shibuya for 9 more days.

Any recommendations for food, clubs, bars, shops? We hit up Takeshita st. Today and went to Ueno park which was nice but I'd like to do more robot stuff.

>>1193832
This, it's probably one of the better ways to die.

>>1194046
I'm really not looking forward to going back. The two months I've been here so far have been the best two months of the past 5 years of my life.

Can i go to japan with only a one way ticket? or i need to have a ticket to fly outside tokyo for inmigration purposes?

>>1194151
You can go to most any country with a one way ticket. Not everywhere is going to check or work with the government to cross check that shit. Hell you could buy a RT ticket and just miss your flight.


Why you would want a 1 way ticket and not thinking you aren't going to be caught fairly quick is another thing.

>>1194167
Did you try going to Japan with a one way ticket? If don't just don't reply.
>>1194151
The airline is probably going to ask why you don't have a return ticket, and if you can't prove you have a visa (or at least some solid proof you're going to get one once in Japan) they'll make you buy a return ticket.

Hey guys I've been looking for places to stay 2 weeks before going around the country by train, and was thinking to spend a week in Tokyo and a week in Kyoto. Is this a good enough plan? Is a week enough to see everything there is to see in Tokyo? Is Kyoto big enough to stay there for a week? If not, ¿what other city could be nice to stay for a long time that wasn't too far from other interesting places?

>>1193980
Do you (dis)like atom bombs and want to know all about how terrible they are? Do you want an urban environment and would you like to eat good Okonomiyaki? Then Hiroshima.

If you're culturally inclined, it's kind of a toss up between Miyajima and Nara.
Miyajima has an awesome temple (comfy) and shrine (photogenic), some good nature views, and hiking up Mt. Misen is arduous but rewarding (that view). It has tame deer as well, and supposedly they've got monkeys, too.
Nara has plenty of temples and shrines, and they're absolutely impressive - especially the size of them! They're seriously huge, bigger than everything else I've seen in Japan. Honestly, the deer are just a gimmick - go there if you want to see more historical religious buildings.

Personally, I don't think you need to see Hiroshima, but both Miyajima and Nara are a good choice. I think I'd prefer going to Nara because you won't see that kind of huge architecture anywhere else.

oi fags visiting Kyoto - Osaka - Nara

one of the most amazing cultural treasures of Japan are its museums. Not just nip stuff but also the loot from China and Korea and may be seen in the many not so well advertised little museums off the beaten path.

One valuable source of information on these museums in Kansai is the Gruttopass - a JPY1000 booklet containing a large number of discount tickets and free passes for museums large and small. It's valid for 90 days and in a year in Kyoto I went through four booklets - entry to the Kyoto National Museum is JPY540 so the free pass to that one gives some idea of the value of the booklet to museum lovers.

May be purchased at participating museum ticket offices and further info

>>1194190
1 week for Kyoto is too much. Tokyo can be done in a week. If you have two weeks, I would recommend something like:
>1 week of Tokyo with a side trip of your choice (Nikko, Kamakura, Yokohama etc.)
>3 days of Kyoto
>1 day trip to Nara
>1 day trip to Osaka

Leaves you with two days, I would recommend Hakone for that

>>1194264
Alright, thanks for the advice. Only thing is I'm looking for a week stay after Tokyo too, since Airbnb usually gives some kind of discount if you stay a whole week. Will look at it regardless though.

You can get some Hello Kitty bullshit from Kiddyland in Harajuku. Or you can get her a DIY gummy candy kit, they're like $3. There's lots but I know 'tanoshi o sushiya-san' is a good one.

I recommend doing it before you depart. I had no trouble exchanging money at the airport, many workers there can speak English, but you could get stuck in line, and I think the commission they take is a little higher.

I'm going to be doing a homestay in a few weeks. My host family has three kids, a four-year-old girl, an eighty-year-old boy, and a nine-year-old boy. Any advice for omiyage? I've heard regional specialties are best but I live out in bum fuck nowhere. Deer hunting is popular here, so I thought of buying a deer stuffed animal for the girl, but any other ideas?

>>1194254
Thank you so much for this info. I'm going to Kansai mainly for the museums, temples, and art.

The general consensus here is to stay in either Kyoto or Osaka, and take a train to one for day trips. Does this make sense with air bnb? Or should I book a few nights in Osaka and a few in Kyoto?

Snacks, toys, coloring books, etc. The deer stuffed animal sounds cute.

Is it pronounced sumimasen, or sumi-sen?

Because I tend to hear it said the latter way. Do I look autistic when I'm saying sumimasen?

Should I stay a day more before I leave Japan just to see Tokyo or leave it for another trip? Worth it for a day?

>>1194416
sumimasen

>>1194416
Sumimasen or suimasen.

I've got my visa, flight and a 2 month airbnb booked for Tokyo.
I was wondering if there's such thing as cash in hand work in Japan and will they allow anon jap speaking gaijin work ?
Just asking because i'd like to feed myself.

No company will hire you on a tourist visa. If you have a working holiday visa, you'll need a uni degree and come from an English speaking country to get a job teaching English.

Otherwise, you'll be hard pressed to find a job. You'll need fluency in Japanese and then finding one of the few people who will actually hire you in whatever field you're looking for will be even harder. You may be able to get manual labor work since I know that's what a lot of Brazilians/Africans do for work, but I wouldn't have the first idea how to get into that kind of stuff.

Stay entirely in Kyoto and I'd suggest somewhere around Sanjo-Higashiyama. Lots to see in walking distance and very convenient subway linking to Nara and Osaka trains. There are no temples in Osaka, unlike Nara but both are worthwhile for one long one day.

Nara - must see National Museum (don't miss the Chinese bronzes and Buddhist sculpture if open. There's also the Nara Prefectural Museum of Art and definitely don't miss the temple museums for Todai-ji and Kofuku-ji temples.

Osaka: the don't miss museum is the Museum of Oriental Ceramics - absolutely world class treasures of Japan, Korea and China. Also at the Osaka City Museum of Fine Arts is a gallery of very fine Wei dynasty (China) 6thC Buddhist sculpture plus changing exhibition galleries and there's also the Osaka National Museum of Art which tends towards mostly modern/contemporary.

Depends on your personal preferences and time constraints. There's also archaeology museums which are more history and social development rather than art.

A really valuable resource is the rack of advertising flyers for exhibitions in other museums. They'll all be in Japanese language but will have pictures and maps of how to get there. I'd collect those of most interest to me and take to either the city information centre or my favorite bistro restaurant where my waitress friend would translate for me.

Beware: nearly all museums closed Mondays (or rarely on another day of the week) so check this particularly if travelling to see something. Temples open seven days

All the rest is in Kyoto. Ask any questions and I'll help with whatever I can

>uni degree

Not him but, does it need to be a uni degree in teaching, or can it just be English language related?

>>1194375
Nah.

So I rented a van to travel around Japan for the next month. After doing a whole bunch of trips to Japan, traveling by car seems like a nice way to get to some corners not served by public transportation.

Afforded me an opportunity to go to Yokozuna ramen restaurant in Kuwana on the first day. Nothing special, but a damn fine place to people watch lol.

>>1194453
*Yokoduna

Guys, I'm going to Shikoku but I'm getting confused.
Google lists a shuttle bus to Sakaide from the Takamatsu airport as a viable route, but the website only lists a shuttle bus to Takamatsu station and Kotohira, and I'm not sure who to believe.
Ideally, if there's a direct route to Sakaide, that would be the best option for me.

Somebody pls respond this is a very serious topic for me.

>>1194470
However many there are, there'll be at least one more when your plane lands.

So how bad is July really in terms of weather? I keep hearing people say its way to humid and hot.

>>1194470
A lot. The Japanese see them all cool hip hop artist so they hire them for touts or to do something hip hop related for their company. They haven't had them long enough to realized how dangerous they are

>>1194479
What is "a lot"?

I can deal with like 50 of them in entire Tokyo. But if I see more than 4 in the same street I'm quitting this trip. I ain't paying an entire fucking salary in flight and hotel cost just to see niggers speaking japanese.

>>1194481
It's still worth it. But I live in America in LA so I see a lot.

>>1194481
>>1194483
But they have an even bigger superiority complex here because they get hired for being black

>>1194484
It can even be bigger than it already is?

Fucking hell and I thought Japan is safe from them.

Well, fuck Japan then. I'm going to Korea.

>>1194485
Honestly there are probably a lot there too. Any Asian country sees them as gold

>>1194485

How about you just stay in your own stupid dill hole backwater cousin-fucking clap-hole, you piece of white trash?

Sounds like I stepped on some niggers little toe with that one.

Oh, does poor little nigga has hurt feelings? Oh noes, what shall we do? Let's call President Obongo and ask him what to do. I'm sure he will ban all evil white people from the world! So that little niggy can stay free and cook crack all day long without the evil white police pigs ruining his buisness plan and putting him into the rascist county jail where all his friends and family are.

Is that how all americucks act?
Christ, you're pathetic, you deserve your niggers.

Jokes on you, little niggy.
The entire western civilisation hates you and your stupid little "culture". To hate your kind is not exclusive to America.

But don't worry little niggy, I'm sure there is still place for you in Stockholm.

Hi! Im planning a trip To Ásia, Needed someone To trade emails so i can learn about south korea or japan before i Go..

Hey /trv/, I'm going to gundam front tokyo in an hour, and stopping by Akiba after that. Are there any other otaku attractions to note of? Any monuments, museums or shops are what I'm looking for. I heard there's an Evangelion store at ikebukuro, but are there any others? Also, for a /M/ fanboy, any other cool attractions?

I'm also going to Nezu and Nippori tonight too. I heard it's super cool, very old-fashioned.
