You need to do a furikomi to send money with TransferWise so it’s pointless to set up until you’re in japan anyway.

If tourists want to drive maricar they first have to pass a bike test and cycle around Tokyo. If they haven’t died or gotten lost then they might be able to do it

They already do it everyday, easily.

Have you tried those online booking websites like booking.com?

It’s hit and miss when it comes to small town places, I was left in some guys extension home in Shikoku, it sucked and it costs so much.

Oh and can someone please (probably ntan) tell me more about driving passes for tolls? My brother in law has driven in japan before but I haven’t

Etc cards? Should be an option at the rental car company.

Went to Roppongi last night hoping to get drunk on a weeknight with some random expats and hopefully cute girls who speak English, instead was met by empty bars everywhere and random dudes every ten feet asking me to go into strip clubs. I screwed up the train too so it took forever to get to and from Shinjuku and the whole night was a big fail. Help me SA, why did I gently caress up and will it be just as much of a waste on Fri/Sat?

e: also jesus gently caress it is hot right now

Yeah all of the old nerd poo poo is still in akihabara, but there’s just a bunch of tourists and department stores too. Pc parts are often cheaper in akihabara and there’s more variety, including used stuff.

Well poo poo, I'm going back there in december but today I accidentally spilled coffee on my passport. It's not too bad, the main page (made of hard plastic) is unaffected but the middle two visa pages have a stain running down the spine. According to the passport authority in my country that means it's still valid since everything is still legible and nothing is falling apart but we all know what Japanese bureaucrats are like. Anyone ever got poo poo from immigration trying to enter with a not-pristine passport?

I travelled in and out of japan with a washed passport and the only immigration authorities that cared were loving Fiji of all places.

No really instead of Mt fuji your best time will be at the Hub in Shibuya.

I know this is sarcasm but if you pull a bird down at the hub you’ll remember that a lot longer than looking at some lovely old temples or a dumbass mountain.

Anyone do goshuin collecting? I kind of wanted to but when I went to Hokkaido Jingu today I had trouble trying to find a stamp book to buy.

You can get the book at the shrine usually. I know for a fact that Hokkaido shrine has one because my wife almost bought it when she finished her last book

Do you remember where you saw it? I walked up and down where they were selling the charms and I couldn't find the goshuin books. It doesn't help that I'm too nervous to have any interaction with anyone that doesn't come down to pointing or handing over my passport.

The goshuin section was inside a room so the books were in a shelf in there and not outside with the rest of the charms.

It’s probably not beer. It’s beer flavoured Japanese alcohol and it’s loving gross.

This is mostly a product of being an experienced driver in a city. For example, in the SF Bay Area, using your signal too early to indicate a lane change indicates that you are a slow and passive driver that will take forever to merge, so many drivers will speed up into the gap naturally. In response, most drivers now only really signal last second. The other issue is that even when lane shifting or merging you are already supposed to be looking at the window to make sure nobody is there, so people just skip the "turn on signal early" part.

Tokyo will do quick lane changing as well because it's a major metropolitan area, but in retrospect, in the country side Japanese people are honestly the best at being polite on the road (usually)... Way better than US/Canada.

People loving cut you off from behind if you’re trying to lane change? That would cause some murders in most places.
