In less than 10 hours my ass will be on a flight to Tokyo...

In less than 10 hours my ass will be on a flight to Tokyo, should I just let my inner autismo loose and hit up toy stores or should I try to act like the 26 y.o that I am?

That's fuck-all money in Japan.

It's not my actual spending money. This is just a picture I took of my money for the shinkensen. I have about 800$ for spending

>$300
You can buy like 2 figurines or get a whore at a soapland

>for the shinkensen
Do you not have a railpass?

>1 Japanese yen = .0091 U.S. dollars
I just sent some dude 35,000 yen for some vintage bicycle parts (PayPal did the conversion).

I don't. The plan is to go from Tokyo and head south. My SO is in charge of the planning, the picture was just for attention.

If plan on doing any sort of travel within Tokyo or plan on riding a shinkensen more than once you should get a japan railpass. Just google it, it's like $250 for 7 days or $300 for 14 iirc. Only downside is that you have to go reserve your seats instead of just getting them at a machine

toy stores and buy used panties by hentai looking sluts. jack off cream in it. 20$ well spend

wtf 250$...

Lol you have like 330 bucks usd there that won't last you 2 days in Tokyo

I will definitely check into that. Sounds like a good deal

> 250 bucks week pass
Jesus and I thought railway prices were ludicrous in England

We have sushi here OP. U dont need to fly all the way there.

>not eating sushi off of a naked girl as your first meal in japan

That's just my train money. I have 800$ for random shit

I love sushi, but my inner retard really wants Pokemon plushes and cute shit...

>I have 800$ for random shit
Fuck all in Tokyo, that won't last you half a week

shinkensen from Kyoto to Tokyo is about $150 hence the suggestion. Slightly cheaper for non-reserved seats, but still worth getting a railpass if you plan on doing any sort of travel by it. Pass also includes basically anything above ground in Tokyo or they're I think like $3? If just in Tokyo it's not worth it at all, but a nice bonus

I mean you're right. It's a good thing my hotel is paid for already and food money has been put into a credit card

You can pay to hangout with school girls. I say you do that. Get a 13yo teen school girl to hangout with you

...I'm not a pedo but now I'm morbidly curious. That's actually a thing?

>credit card
japs don't like plastic. You'll only find it at high end restaurants or mcdonalds

OH yeah. Look it up on YouTube. Vice news did a thing on it. When I go I'm getting a young school girl

Of you want the Pokémon center with the most merch go to the ‘Pokémon center Tokyo DX’ a few bocks east of Tokyo station.

in tokyo you can find anything really.

>$150 for what is basically a 300mile train ride
Yeah this is fucking crazy. You could fly from one side of Europe to the other for half the money. Or like in Britain where to get to Glasgow from Norwich a fucking round trip by air is cheaper than a one way train ticket what the fuck

>credit card
Wow, shows how much you know about nipistan. Good luck getting it accepted somewhere. Cash is king in Japan

Holy crap, just screen shot this for later, will check them out

Not entirely true, any department store or convenient store will but it’s kind of a process. Cash is the fastest way to do things though. Also make sure you have a coin purse of some kind you’ll be drowning in single, five and ten yen coins pretty quick.

Well fuck time to find an ATM

i guess when you put it that way you can fly across the US for the same amount. huh didn't think about it

That’s like the exact opposite of here in the us.

He's not trollin'

yer gonna need cash for food anywhere other than fast food or super high end.
You'll want cash for ramen at a minimum. Why would you go to Japan and not eat Ramen? Pic related

you can use some ATMs to get cash out of your CC, but it'll start racking up interest immediately since you're cashing

>single
kek one yen is worth basically one us cent. does an economy like japan's even still use what are practically pennies

That looks good

find a nandemo kanteidan kinda place

there will be infinite amounts of cute and weeby shit for 1/10 the price or less of new, unless being a week old is too much for you

>Why would you go to Japan and not eat Ramen?
Kek. Like asking why would you go to the US and not eat McDonald's.

yes, and the shitty 1 yen coins are the most annoying coinage ever.
can't even get enough velocity to hurt people hurling them around

Hmmm...So he was behind of that..

Single yen coins are almost entirely useless, when I went to exchange my coins coming back earlier this year they would even convert them back to US so now I have a bunch of coins I can’t get rid of.

I'll definitely be on the prowl. If I can find a cute Raichu plush my ween heart will be happy

U should ask everyone u converse with if they like anime, right off the bat OP

I am learning conversational Japanese but thankfully Im not that autismo

meh, maybe like going to the US and not trying BBQ

there's shit ramen at random cafeterias I guess, but the good stuff is unreal

I have a lay over in Canada, should I even bother getting Canadian Money?

calling vice 'news' is like calling a man who snipped off his own dick and fucked up his hormones a woman tbh

You taking any money user?
You like cars?
If YES, get back to me NOW

Hope you speak and read good Japanese too. Was in the country for business once, I speak 5 languages and the fuckers do not know anything but Japanese. Needed a translator for the whole time there

you must at least once go to the ramen place with the most long-haul truckers parked outside

then you order the miso ramen with extra garlic, two plates each of gyoza and cha-shu and always have a big ass glass of nama beer going (not pictured)

this is japanese blue-collar bliss. bonus points for laughing and shit-talking with everyone else in the place

>bonus points for laughing and shit-talking with everyone else in the place
you crazy, that's not what japs do, starting conversations with randos unless really drunk

I'm mediocre in speaking it but thankfully my so can read it

they can't speak the england so good, but they can all read and reply in written english if under about 30yo.
Carry notebook and pen
be prepared for slow conversations.
Drink beer. These guys love to cut loose.

speaking of which make sure to get proper wasted on sake at a jap bar one day. believe it or not these little slint eyes will drink you under the table in no time at all

y'all just going to the wrong places
I'll admit getting the whole place going is hard unless liquor is involved and you have a certain kind of charisma

Live your best life op just go all in

As another user mentioned, the pass only makes sense if you plan on riding the shink more than one round trip.

As for credit cards, the other posters are right. Not accepted at many restaurants. Most stores will take them, however, so use your cash for food and use your card for buying electronics, figurines, etc. (I'm guessing you'll go to akihabara like every other nerd).

If you don't get the full rail pass (it's actually not always cheaper, depending on how much you travel per day), I recommend putting a hundred bucks or so on a Suica card. It's an RFID card issued by the JR train lines which works for pretty much any train, bus, convenience store, most supermarkets, vending machines, etc. Keeps you from having to lug around all that change (which, ironically, you'll actually want if you're visiting shrines and temples).

I live in Japan, and have 30 mins before I go back to work if you have questions OP.

This is the best advice in this thread

are small japanese girls available for rape

If your in Osaka I recommend a bar called Space Station in dotonburi, pretty cool video game bar where a lot of brits and Americans hang out.

Depends on how strong you are.

whats your job?

Towards the end of ur trip u should show ur gratitude by offering to pay to have a statue of bruce lee erected.

Ok so I can't remember is there sale tax? Like If a toy is 600 yen, is it actually 600 and if not how is the best way to figure sales tax?

>where a lot of brits and Americans hang out.

Why would that be a good thing?

Buy me some shit from the Pokecenter

Corporate English Teacher

Sales tax just went up to 10% for non essentials. 8% for essentials. Most prices are listed with tax included.

Fuck off. I’ve got work to do.

Well if your in a country you don’t speak the language of, you might want to talk to someone you can have a full conversation with. Also if you go full retard and embarrass yourself you’ll probably never see them again anyway.

Btw, a bunch of the conbinis stopped selling erotic manga in the lead up to the Olympics. If you're looking to pic some up, you'll need to google which ones still carry it.

Honestly i hope so, I'm absolute shit at figuring out taxes

This But only if you plan to doing a bit of shinkansen travel. If you're just staying in one area, it might not be worth it.

Mandrake has good shit

This you OP I expect?
Fill me in real quick. Copy n paste format:

Bruce Lee was born American you fucking moron.
(Sorry OP this just popped up on screen and needs addressed.)
* I can handle myself in awkward or potentially dangerous situations ( )

>conbinis stopped selling erotic manga in the lead up to the Olympics
kek if you are a white guy going to buy porno manga in japan expect to get laughed at perv

>I can drive like a (. ) [moron / avg person / enthusiast / motherfucker
OP remember also that nipistan drives on the left, combine this with the massive jams during rush hours and you're in a world of hurt

>Raichu
I'm sure there are a million. Here's a representative specimen from the Osaka area:
mandaisoukokanteidan.net/kaitorioukokuhirakatakokudou1gouten2018/

But these places are generally for all the million kinds of monomania that Japs have. So there will be road bikes and guitars and leather jackets and fishing gear and korean drama posters and everything else.

Fortunately for you, the standard weeb shit is also super popular and constantly churning in and out of these "recycle shops"

why even visit now

I am from New England, US
* I have been to only two countries
* I am 26 y. o
* my partner is 26
* We're going to JPN for 2 weeks
* For shopping and sight seeing
* I can drive like an average person

Tourists don't drive in Japan. Hell, most of the locals don't either. This question is 'tarded.

Where was this? only McD I know in Kyoto Station is literally at the end of the station. You have to walk past everything else to get to it.

Do whatever the fuck you want nigga it's your go.

Nah. Japanese are super tolerant of sexual weirdness. I see business dudes reading eromanga on the train regularly.

Plus, who gives a fuck what the conbini dude/chick thinks.

I drive there every year. Tokyo, countryside, whatever. Just remember that you need an international license along with a valid license in you home counrtry, the centreline should be closest to the steering wheel at all times, and the roads can get fucking narrow. Also, cash for the toll roads

Crazy. I guess if you like driving.

I just got my license. 7 years here and never needed to drive. Most of my students are "paper drivers" (own a license but no car). Can't think of a competing reason to drive rather then take a train.

finally the weeb can feel cool too

My inlaws live in the countryside, and once you're driving 30 minutes to the train station, you might as well just travel the whole way in comfort with as much luggage as you'd like, at your own pace, and enjoy things that aren't within walking distance of train stations.
Also, places with no-or-shitty train service are a thing? Some of the most beautiful places for that matter

OK here's best advice

THE MOST DANGEROUS THING YOU WILL DO IS STEP ON TO THE ROAD LOOKING THE WRONG WAY.

* I have been to only two countries
Behave yourself, stay in "good areas"
* I am 26 y. o
* my partner is 26
I thought you were taking son? Nevermind. Win.
* We're going to JPN for 2 weeks
So... holiday.
* For shopping and sight seeing
Holiday confirmed.
* I can drive like an average person
Take public transport off rush hour.
Ignore horror stories etc. Where you gotta be?
nowhere is where. Drop an Asahi or two

Bro, if you're doing this for a holiday and you don't cut too loose, no problems.

I'm in NZ, this is right side of road to drive on.
If we visit there, we arrive, buy cars, go semi-moron for a few days, and import cars when done.

Travel more.
Japan is safe af. great place to start.

Driving.
Yeah if you're from US it's the wrong side.
This can literally spoil a short holiday cos you look left, turn right. (Smashing Pumpkins ref? actual advice tho dont do it. get a bus.)
Go to all caps top line cos I'm typing it next.
you read it first. butterfly effect shit lol

All caps means I'm yelling.

Now for fun?
Just get off the beaten path.
Don't Do What Donny Don't Does .

Take a decent camera. Do you have a decent camera? Best travel camera is one that fits in your pocket.
I may be a bit boozed. but I know my countries and cameras.
What is budget for camera or already have?

u so niggardly

Explain pls?
Niggardly how?
And I think You "niggardly" doesn't equate to actual definition of.

but regardless, this couple should go to JPN and rip it up.
But without driving, cos it sucks on other side of rd.
