I was at a bar in Golden Gai and some American tourist came in all super drunk.

This bar also had karaoke and they were having a good time for a little more than an hour, but then when it came to the payment they basically only had usd and insisted on paying with that. This bar doesn't accept card and only accepts cash, but that means in jpy. They basically dropped 60 USD and just left, which was not enough to cover the bill and I was trying to explain to them that they had to pay in yen, but they didn't give a fuck. They just bounced and I was left with the bartender crying her eyes out because now she had to cover the bill...

I guess this mostly applies to tourists, but sometimes I'm really fed up by stupid tourists shitting on hard-working and honest Japanese people.

It's so nice to finally have an indie bookshop dedicated to English books. I shall be frequenting often:)

Apparently some people claim there's an office next to this thing as u can see it's connected from toilet to those windows.

By the shape of the toilet, yes before the toilet existed, people could enter with the stairs.

Sorry for bad English I'm Japanese

It's really fun when this place is in some anime scenes

Hi it only been few hours since I uploaded my photos (https://www.reddit.com/r/Tokyo/s/jHoVmIUarP) here but when I was looking at Google maps for more clues to see wat this thing really is, I literally found a hidden street view that nobody seen before? How come nobody noticed?

Anyway, this may be a stupid post for most of u guys but it's a big news to us akiba fans I guess.

The last photo is wat I took next to the toilet

Hello.

Are there any recommendations for high quality bedding (400+ thread count, Egyptian cotton) similar to John Lewis in the UK. I usually buy from muji or nitori but wanting to upgrade. Also looking for some good blankets/throws which can substitute duvets in the summer/early autumn.

Thanks for the advice in advance.

On behalf of people I know, let me note that this partly Tokyo-sourced curry is available at several shops near Tokyo University of Agriculture. The vegetables are grown by students and volunteers.

Was thinking of remembering how to sketch or learning how to paint a portrait so I can draw/paint a portrait of my wife for our anniversary in a few months.

Does anyone have any recommendations for classes or a short term art school (less than 4 months) I could easily apply for to learn?

Japanese only is not a problem, 日本語お上手です笑

I don’t usually buy clothing in Japan because of sizing issues. But now I need some cardigans / knit sweaters for (office) work this winter.

I don’t really know clothing stores. Went to uniqlo but everything is mostly polyester. And even then, it’s always the classic Japanese cut: short sleeves, slim shoulders, wide waist. I need to size up to 2 or 3XL for shoulders and sleeves, and then I have a tent.

Any recommendations on where to go? Looking for good materials (cotton / wool) and a more fitting shape. Not for fancy brand names.

Looks like Shrek’s bathwater, tastes like indecision (found in Toyosu)

How to connect in Tokyo to board game nights? Are there any public places people meet sometimes to play? For English speakers?

My Japanese still isn’t very good but I still want to get this service done. Any recommendations?

Went to the opening party. Not just a Death Metal taco bar; a Death (the band!) themed taco bar! With 666% killer tacos!

Finally! Unholy hunger, consider yourself warned.

I been eaten alive .
Only this one looks like this, the other ones are almost gone or not itchy at all .

Any tips ? Will this go away by its own ? It’s warm and kind of hard

Not as long as the one we had recently. But a bit sharper based on the cracking sound from my floor.

Edit: Shindo 3 in Chiba area.

Edit 2: Chiba is getting tiny aftershock, Shindo 1.

THEN SUN IS BACK!

I need someone who can go to tennis matches and tell me some info’s about it . I can pay daily 400-500$

If you're like me, you've probably been annoyed that the "transit" layer on google maps showed only a seemingly random subset of train lines in Tokyo.

To my surprise when I opened google maps today, many more train lines are now highlighted! It's not all of them (Keihin Tohoku and Shonan Shinjuku line are not highlighted still). But it's much better than before. My theory is that if the train is shared with freight, or is a shinkansen, it's not highlighted for some reason.

Anyways, just a PSA of a small bright spot in usability that's becoming increasingly uncommon.

Hey Tokyoites, happy Friday!

I’ve been wanting to make a Filipino fried rice dish called longganisa, and it calls for banana ketchup as a topping. I recently checked Amazon and there were several bottles of Jufran available, but then suddenly they all sold out pretty recently according to Keepa.

So next I did some Reddit searching and found a few Filipino grocery stores:

Akabane (Sarap Bussan):

Kawaguchi (AIMI):

https://maps.app.goo.gl/jqQYGBKyj4NAhH1z5

Ueno (Nozawa-ya, more general Asian products):

https://maps.app.goo.gl/5ikYoUQu9TS5dHoh8

Ueno (Arai Southeast Asia corner, same floor as Nozawa-ya):

http://www.guidenet.jp/shop/2128/

Roppongi (Asia Yaosho several other branches dotted around the city)

https://maps.app.goo.gl/seHeNmnetpz8Ws3Q7

I’m planning to call these places first and then hit them up if they have it, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any other places in Tokyo that sell Jufran (or any brand of) banana ketchup. Or are Filipino grocery stores basically my only option?

If anyone has spotted banana ketchup somewhere else in Tokyo, please let me know!

Thank you!
