The Yakuza have taken note of your interest in them! They will pick you up at the airport and take you for your first tattoo and to have your tip of your little finger cut off!
Then all you have to do is conduct your first "HIT" for them and you are in!!

Hi hitman, well depends what things your going to do or where you goona eat. How long you planning on staying. BUt if your taking that amount it seems more than enough ! you can even dine out at fancy resteraunts.You could even go on expensive trips around tokyo.
btw why you want to join yakusa, there a bunch of thiefs, robbers, murderers and thugs, you seen too good to be one of them =P

lol you nutter frank

Bounty Hunter · Jul 12, 2004, 07:35

Thanks for your concern

take a look at this quote from Potatoe my friend.
"Behind the face of good is the soul of evil"

Does this make sense

I also want to stay their for at least 4 months thats why i would like know how much.

i would mainly be going to fast food joints though.

m477 · Jul 12, 2004, 13:30

4 months, do you have a practical training visa? A tourist visa is 3 months, so in that case you would have to leave the country and come back. Not necessarily a bad thing, you could go see Hong Kong or something.

One of my favorite cheap eats is a supermarket bento. At a supermarket, they usually cook the food themselves so it is fresh and healthier than chemical-laden convenience store or fast food. Also, ramen shops are good too, and usually they make everything frmo scratch also, and usually pretty cheap.

Bounty Hunter · Jul 12, 2004, 16:13

Yes I would like to go to Hong Kong.

Pick you some chinese stuff.

Could someone give me also a quick help,some briefing about prices in Tokyo?
I should tell my boss allready on friday -today is tuesday- if I will go to Tokyo to help them with the new exhibition or not..and I have sooo much job to do to find out all the prices and making calculations!

She is offering a hotel thats 9300yen for a night. I should find a hotel nearby Mori Art Museum, in the Roppongi area. Does anyone have ANY cheaper suggestions(private room) from that area?

How expensive are the subways etc in Tokyo, and taxi? Is it more expensive than in Osaka or Kyoto or the same price range?

Tickets to clubs, about 3000yen? Bento from a suupaa 300-700yen? Lunch at a mid-range restaurant about 1000yen?

Thank you so much for help..I know its annnoying to ask these once again, i know i could find the info by searching the forum, but i dont have the time for that right now! :/..gomenna..

Arch · Jul 14, 2004, 00:46

Hi Chipi, i cant help you much but i will try. The website seems pretty slow at the moment, but club tocoo i rate highly and are usually cheap:

http://www.coo.ne.jp/english/rc/

I found this for you, dont know what you think:

Hotel Baden Roppongi
Under 5000 yen a night, if you share

They may have something there for you. Travelling thorught subway is much cheaper than taxi, taxi is expensive. Here is information on prices and such, very useful:
http://www.tokyometro.jp/e/index.html
For clubs i dont.
http://www.lonelyplanet.com/destinat...apan/money.htm

gives you information on the price of meals and stuff !

Soz i gave a loads of links there ! but good luck

Hitman: You are really publicly discussing that you plan on murdering someone when going to japan to get into the yakuza ? @_@ right then.. Don't tell the cops that though, they may not like it.. lol.. I don't believe you, simply put..

(P.S. Don't kill me because of this post)

Bounty Hunter · Jul 25, 2004, 01:41

I said i would do it to get with the yakuza but i now know that i can't get with the yakuza so i wouldn't.

topi · Jul 26, 2004, 09:25

This saddens me. You honestly think you could stand there, infront of a man crying, with 3 kids and a wife, and kill him.
Is that your goal in life? To end others, to destroy a human.

Does it not sicken you?

Who are you trying to prove yourself too?

Why do you need to be part of the yakuza if all your after is to kill people?

Do you expect to live long?

I have a freind that sounds alot like you. Thinks he wants to join some mafia, be the hard man. But he admits that he wouldnt be able to kill, unless it was defensive.

I have respect for everyone including myself. I think you need to sort out the way you think of yourself,leader/follwer wise. Why do you want to be part of any gang? Surely a real man is an induvidual.

Ah well, each to their own I suppose. Aslong as it stays a dream I have no problems, but you should keep that kinda stuff to yourself.

Ahh yes, the uber-right wing yakuza that has ties to right wing racist facists in Japan would love to hire a 16 year old brit kid.

Tickets to clubs depend on the price. In Roppongi, you can go bar-hopping in places with no cover, or can opt for a place like Lexington Queen which can run as high as 6000 yen for the night. Simple negotiation got us down to 3000 for the guys, 2500 for girls, with all you can drink until 6 am. Nice place, but not my scene. Bar Isn't It has a fairly low entrance fee and comes with 2 drinks, with a pretty big dance area. Shibuya/Shinjuku clubs have far fewer foreigners and reasonable prices as well.
