Work dried up so I jumped on the soonest flight to Tokyo for 2 weeks. I'll be visiting Osaka and Kyoto for a few days in the middle so lots of fun anticipated.

I know at least one of you lives here, so does anybody have any recommendations for what to do while here?

Been almost 20 years since i lived in Japan. Although nowhere near Tokyo. I'm sure a lot's changed. I assume hitting up the arcades is a no-brainer.

Buy every single Kit Kat flavor you can find. They also have interesting drinks so buy some of them. If I was in Japan I would probably see if I could hit each region to try the regional cuisine specialties. I think the only thing I wouldn't eat is ikizukuri.

So far I have seen strawberry and green tea, but that was at Haneda airport. Apparently Ota is known for its Nori so dinner today will likely be Yakisoba!

My friend sent me some random ones. I think I had sakura and eggnog. There were some other flavors harder to guess too. I want to try strawberry and the green tea ones. I think those would actually do decent in America if they sold them. Also yeah I heard the airports usually have them for international tourists.

I want to try a yakisoba dog just because. Has to be one of the most unhealthy things out there.

Go to Samurai Kembu in Kyoto and take a lesson where you get to dress up as a samurai. I think you need a reservation but it should be easy to get one even day of. Eat out a lot. Walk around Gion. Hit up Nijo-jo.

Can't speak to Osaka as I haven't been yet. Have fun. Japan is the greatest place in the world.

edit: Can't stress the eating out thing enough btw. I had like the 10 best meals of my life in Japan.

It's now 6:15am, the most I can do right now is go to the 7-11 down the road or look at a shrine from my balcony.

Sounds like fun, is it expensive?

Walk around Gion. Hit up Nijo-jo.

Neat suggestions, I also plan to visit a couple shrines in Kyoto, this will most likely be the part where most of the touristy walking around taking pictures stuff will occur.

Absolutely will, one of the main draws.

As I recall it was like $75. That was for the shorter lesson too which was still like 45 minutes and felt really long.

Not too bad, I think I'll do that then.

According to one of the pictures my brother took while there, there is at least one Hooters. Might be worth investigating.

try a drink called Ramune if you haven't already

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramune

I had it when I was there, though it wasn't in the traditional bottle shown in that link with the marble. if you try the marble kind, let me know how it was.

I think when i had it the flavor was blue raspberry or something similar to that. It comes in all kinds of flavors though

We have it in the UK, marble and all, it's okay.

I got a lemon coke here and it actually tastes of lemon, not artificial lemon flavour.

So an old-ish game and a new-ish belt? >_>

And why are you hitting up Shibuya instead of Akihabara?

If this exists, pics or it didn't happen. That would be a specialty thing. Most vending machines, that exist within one KM of each other, contain cold coffee in a can or karupisu. Which is delicious.

I don't know anything about major tourist destinations because I avoid them at all costs, as I'd rather enjoy the country and see it for what it is... I want people to stare at me like they've never heard of white people. Not blend in. So enjoy your time where everyone else has been!

You can get Kit-Kat flavours at your local 7-11 in North America.

Says the guy who named himself after a character he heard in a history lesson as a child.

I don't give enough fucks to think up a new name so I'll reuse the same shit for at least a decade.
