How do those Nigerians get visas anyway? Always wondered about that.

What's better for getting in from Narita to Tokyo, NEX or the Keisei Skyliner? I completely blanked out on how to get from the Airport to Tokyo, so thankfully it doesn't look like you have to reserve seats in advance or some poo poo.

Since the onsen you're visiting is in Okubo (I think?) I'd suggest you go to a Korean place since that area is one of Tokyo's bigger Korean districts.

Here's two places I like:

https://foursquare.com/v/%E3%81%A8%...964a5203f4034e3

Yooo these look fuckin DOPE! I can't find the second one's actual name though, Google translate just gives me "Korean style charcoal grilled chicken specialty store spicy" which... doesn't help narrow it down on Google maps, haha. Most of the Korean restaurants on Google maps are titled "Korean restaurant" followed by that in katakana, then all the kanji :psyduck: I think I might've found it right here?

Our hotel's near the Okachimachi station, so my plan was to get to either Ueno or Okachimachi and walk from there. Apparently Keisei goes directly to Ueno, so that works I think?

Oh yeah, and if anyone's got suggestions for cool poo poo to seek out in the city (besides the walk-around-and-find-poo poo part), lay them on me. We don't have an itinerary for Tokyo besides hitting up Asakusa, Shinjuku, Sky Deck, and maybe Odaiba at some point.

You’ve referred to the second one and then given google translate of the first one’s name and then appear to have linked a completely different place a block away from the first one

If you go back to the four square links you will find that it gives the exact address for each restaurant. Try putting those in google maps if searching for names isn’t working

The area west of Asakusa toward Ueno is one of my favorite parts of the city for aimless wandering.

I'm worried about the opposite - not having enough to do and we just twiddle our thumbs. Which won't happen but still.

Your parents are demanding, neurotic type and raised you to have random nervous breakdowns and confidence issues.

But they are actually slow, stubborn and not very smart because they don’t have their poo poo put together and can’t even sort out a god drat vacation in japan for a few days.

So take it easy and if in doubt, find a cafe or tea house to sit, and just walk their legs off in each activity

If you manage to run out of things to do in Tokyo in just a few days, you will deserve a special prize!

Worst case there are always plenty of world class shops and cafes and things. Or head down to the river and take a boat ride. Or chill out in one of the many parks.

Also can confirm that’s a good area for wandering the streets
