I am visiting Japan.

[Damicci]

I will be visiting Japan from March 18th to 29th. I will be staying at the New Izu Hotel in Tokyo.
I was hoping there were some Japan natives who might be interested in showing a couple gaijin some cool things to do. maybe help us get settled in a bit. I am studying japanese so I can try my best to speak if need be. This is my firast trip and I want to experience as much as I can.

Thanks in Advance.
Damian
ありがとございます。 :wave:

[budd]

ain't no natives here. we chased them all off. sorry :(
however, there are some bitter foreigners who may be of some assistance
and search "penfriend" etc in the forums to find pages/sites that allow correspondence with japanese peeps. good luck

[Damicci]

thanks for the tip. I am still pretty new to this forum. :bluush:

[Hiroyuki Nagashima]

I think that I can offer some information. :wave:
Is the first target Akihabara? :blush:
Akihabara can walk from a hotel.
There is a shopping district of "AME-YOKO" near Ueno station.
A shopping district of here is famous for a bargain sale.

[budd]

"This is my firast trip and I want to experience as much as I can."
original poster needs to buy a book (or several)
"LET'S GO JAPAN" is the best (imo)

[den4]

get the bilingual atlas map of Tokyo...that helps, too....then look up Tokyo and other nearby sites, like Kamakura or Nikko (not really nearby, but it is a day trip) or some other place, like the Landmark Tower in Yokohama, or their Chinatown, and you should have a pretty full schedule.... :D

go to it...

[budd]

i agree. one reason why i like "let's go" is that they have bilingual maps as well
one thing that i haven't done (that i wanna do in march) is visit the tsukiji fish markets
if i wake up early enough, that is

[Hiroyuki Nagashima]

I recommend "MANNDARAKE" of Broadway Building in a shopping district of "Nakano". :okashii:
Togoshi Ginza shopping district may be interesting.
I recommend "bell common" "shabu-shabu bower Kobeya Baking" of Aoyama if I eat shabu-shabu.
A course dish does it more than 4,000 yen. :relief:
Please try to eat pepper-and-salt meat.
The meat is delicious.

[Damicci]

thank you everyone, i have a few guides and maps already so thats not the point, the point of the htread originally was to make new friends in japan and maybe hang out when i get there, maps and guides aren't gouing to show all the "cool" things some of the natives may tend to enjoy.

hiroyuki, here in Arizona we have a Shabu-shabu restaraunt and it is very good, i am very interested in trying it in japan too thank you for the information.

[budd]

"maps and guides aren't gouing to show all the "cool" things some of the natives may tend to enjoy."

I heartily recommend those two places!!! The Landmark Tower is so amazing! i must have stood and gawp at it most of the time i was in yokohama. :wave: and the china town area has some great little shops and funky looking restaurants!! Go to Windjammers Jazz bar, they have live bands! the one i saw was so good! a nice vodka and coke and chilling out to jazz, grand!

[epigene]

Damicci,

Just to add to Nagashima-san's post, you are not allowed to bring any piece of cloth or towel into the bathing area, except for the small towel you use to wash yourself (and maybe hide your private parts :blush: )

When you're soaking in the hot water, you're not supposed to immerse the towel you used to wash yourself in the water. You either leave it on a shelf or somewhere convenient in the washing area or fold it and put it on top of your head. (Based on traditional sense of sanitation, I guess.)

You see people (especially women) wrapped in towel AND immersed in the hot water in photos because they are intended to show the pleasure of onsen and not pornography. :bluush:
This is not done in practice. (I must also tell you that many young Japanese don't know this rule, because Japanese today bathe privately at home and are not accustomed any longer to public bathhouses and onsen.)

Since you're a guy, I'm sure you'll get used to it...(hopefully :p )

I plan on a visit to Japan in June to Shimonoseki, but I'm having trouble finding good sites about this place online. Can anyone tell me about the place?

I'll be traveling with a group to teach English, by the way. Really, really looking forward to the visit!

Nice to have you with us, especially since you can make good use of this site for your visit to Japan!
If you go to the "Where are you from" and "What is your mother tongue" you will find that only about 15% had Japanese as their mother tongue. (??)

Damicci,

I don't know where the reference to 1000 yen comes from, but Nagashima-san's recommendations are all all-you-can-eat places--they're all cheap. The more expensive all-you-can-eat restaurants serve high-quality foods you see in upscale places. I'm sure he gave the list because he thought you won't find regular Japanese servings not enough for you.

He also uses translation software to post in English. I find it very humorous and endearing! :emblaugh:

Oh, okay. I was just worried that the info didn't get across. :bluush: :p

You have to realize that Japan is one of the most expensive places in the world to live (Switzerland, too?). Food prices are steep, and you need all the info on cheap restaurants you can get. I'd keep all the info Nagashima-san's posting for the trip.

Anyway, have a nice trip! Hope the cherry blossoms are in bloom when you're here! :-)

Thanks again Nagashima san :-) Looks like you frequently go to Akihabara. :wave:

No, when it lived in Tokyo, it went to Akihabara every week.
If there is it for one month, Akihabara changes. :p
It is frequent that a favorite shop disappears all too soon.

By the way, does not a maid coffee shop check it?

:blush:

[Dekamaster]

What's the rush hour at Tokyo ? Is it generally the same time approxiamtely for most of Tokyo's subway stations ?

[Hiroyuki Nagashima]

Time of the rush hour is 9:30 from 8:30

You are cautious of terrorism?

1995/3/8 About 8:00 a.m.
The Sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarin_gas_attack_on_the_Tokyo_subway

A route of a subway in accord with the damage
Marunouchi Line, Hibiya Line, Chiyoda Line, Ginza Line, Tozai Line, Hanzomon Line

[Damicci]

I think it is easier to travel when you don't have half of japan pushing its way into a subway train. It's not fun. especially when your 6'4" and this lil 5'2" school girl is under your elbow. I so though I was going to hit this poor girl if i slipped while the train was stopping.
Anyway Everytime I went to the coffee shop on the top floor of gamers it was closed.
Some Internet Cafe's there have cosplay servers too.

Actually both. The bombings in London and Madrid happened during this times. I would want to avoid being on a train at those times. Also, it's hard to get yourself into the train. :relief: I'm not big, so chances are I'll be squished like a bug. What about on the afternoon/evening ?

[Hiroyuki Nagashima]

The rush hour of afternoon is after 17:00.
But it is not crowded in the morning.
Because all work overtime.
A last train front is most crowded.
It is more severely [ than a morning ] crowded.

The most dangerous station is the Shinjuku station.
People gather every day from Chiba, Yokohama, the Tokyo suburbs.

Umm. So it would be better if I board a train before 1700. In case I'm late, would 2000 be okay then ? Or would most salarymen get off from overtime at that time ? :relief:

Would that mean then that all lines that passes Shinjuku would be full ? :blush:

[Hiroyuki Nagashima]

(a sense of a person living in Tokyo) a train is not crowded that much at 23:00 from 19:00. :relief:
In Shibuya, Harajuku, people increase after 19:00.
Beautiful women increase, too :blush:

Many routes are connected to Shinjuku Station.
JR
Chuo Line, Soubu Line, Yamanote Line, Saikyo Line, Shonan Shinjuku Line, Narita express,

An other private railroad
Keio Line, Odakyu Line, new Keio Line, Seibushinjuku line

subway
Marunouchi Line, Ooedo Line, Toei Shinjuku Line

Kerei na onna no hito desu yo :relief: I see :souka: , so I guess I should avoid being there near midnight :relief: . The last time I went to Tokyo, we rode the Ginza Line's (I assumed it was Ginza because of the yellow/gold stripe on the train or was it Hibiya ?) the last train. We visited a discount store in Ropponggi and we lost track of time. We were lucky. :wave: Thanks.

hehe.... :p
Since height is 178cm, if I take a crowded train, most women have a face in the position of my breast. :relief:
I always have to raise both hands above the head.
Because I want not to be suspected of a molester. :(
