ive already done my research, so this isnt another one of those threads anyone want to hang out and grab a bite to eat or some beer? my girlfriend and i will be there feb 23rd-march 9th. we are doing 6 days in tokyo, then nagoya,osaka,kyoto, etc (havent locked in which order yet) and bookending back in tokyo before we leave.
Well I'd meet you for a bite to eat and a beer but I think I'd blow whatever I have in my bank account going to Japan now. I did recently research shops though thinking hard about it. In my future (hopefully near) though. Kinda jealous @michael
I signed up for a Tenso account today which gives me a Japanese mailing address. Now that you will be there next month, you shall be my Japanese contact. Congratulations. You're hired. Please send me as much Pocari Sweat as possible.
you hitting up izumo in nagoya? stop by the parlour tattoo in shibuya? (sry i dont know japan stuff i just like to party)
Did you get a rail pass for the shinkansen? It's really the cheapest way to get around. Have a blast!
Be sure to get your train passes in order. The little prep can save time and headaches. Osaka is one of my favorite food places ever If nobody here needs the call. I have some friends there that could show you around.
yeah, im trying to get izumo to let me crash with him for the night haha. i want to get a scumboy tattoo as well. pretty hyped getting those this week, were gonna blast around for sure. that would be awesome, all i know about osaka is street food, astrozombies, and US toys hopefully being open when im there that would be fun, keep me in the loop!
If you are heading to Astrozombies, there are quite a few interesting shops, toys and otherwise, located nearby (and sort of near) in Den-Den town. Not all easy to find, but then, that is the mystery of Japan for you. Obviously the two Mandarake's are worth a good afternoon's browse as well. And excellent bars and eats abound of course.
Wow. We must be really spoiled here in San Francisco because Pocari Sweat is pretty easy to find out here.
My girlfriend got a sweet cat fish shaped coin purse out of a gachapon the first day we got to Tokyo last time. Cool story, I know
If I was going, like I was supposed to, I could take you on the wildest tour of Tokyo you've ever been on. Instead we're going to France, Germany, Amsterdam, Switzerland, Belgium, Dubai and Taiwan for "Roller Derby shit." Wish I was going to Tokyo this year. Tokyo is insane.
Get to Tsukiji Market for fresh and cheapass scallop and sushi before it closes and shifts out. Great place. Pity it ain't gonna be there anymore. A one-time trip to Japan is never enough if you ask me.
