Looking to store a suitcase and two bags in Ikebukuro for 4 days. Any options? I hate lugging around a huge suitcase :( coin lockers are always ALWAYS full

I was with my boyfriend waiting for some friend in Tokyo and we decided went randomly to a bar. We went upstairs until we saw a door. I opened and there was a bar, I was about to enter there but my boyfriend said that maybe we should go upstairs to see what was there. We made it and I found a new door in the right. Looks like nothing was inside, but actually was the completely opposite. I found a beautiful and peaceful bar with a high drink quality. The owner speak English so it was easy to ask for the drinks. Actually, he was very kind and he treated us pretty well. I felt so surprised about finding this bar just randomly that I decided to write this recommendation. If you go to Tokyo please go to bar Comori un Setagaya.

I bought four tickets to the Ghibli museum for tomorrow (12/23) at noon to take my partner and another couple, but the other couple had something come up and can’t make it. Please PM me if you’re interested!

(These are digital tickets I bought in the U.S. for 1,000 yen each, and we would all have to go in together since I’m the ticket holder)

Me and my future wife are planning on going to Japan(Tokyo) in May of 2025 and I'm really interested in finding some car meets to check out. Preferably Hondas but I'm down for a little bit of everything. ANY help?

Does anyone know is there is a shop in Tokyo specializing in "Vintage Moncler," i.e. a collection of pre-owned clothing and accessories from the Italian luxury brand Moncler? Thank you.

This is a last-minute request over New Years 2024-2025: Dec. 30 - 2 pm til, Dec. 31 - day/night; Jan. 1 - day. My friend, in his 50s and his autistic teenage son, are looking to HIRE a local person who speaks English (does not have to be Japanese) to take them around to iconic locations in Tokyo and take their digital photos. No in-depth guiding explanations are necessary. Just go to the places, get the feel of the place and take photos. Please DM me if you are available or know someone.

I’ve been looking for a private open air onsen for my family of 5 near the kawaguchiko area during early january . It seems like many of them require a booking at the hotel, but the prices are unreasonably high. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Name of a company we can send our luggage to transfer? So we dont take it with us during transit?

Please let me know what you think is better.

I'm (a photographer) going to Roppongi and various spots to capture this year's Illuminations. If anyone is interested in joining and having their pictures taken, let me know!

Hi all,

I’m looking for housing in Tokyo from May 14 to July 30, 2024. My budget is around ¥50,000/month, and I’d love a place where I can meet locals and experience the culture. Any recommendations for share houses, guesthouses, or homestays would be amazing.

Thanks so much! 🙏

Second time visiting Tokyo but now as a solo traveller. I will be based out in Tokyo and travelling around from 22-29' Dec. Can you guys suggest

1. Day trips from Tokyo (I am doing Mt Fuji, and planning Kamakura), but want any other recommendations please. 2-3 hr commute is fine.

2. Mt Fuji - best time of the day to see and best spots for full view.

3. Pocket friendly Omakase

4. Second hand watch shopping. Read Grand Seiko.

TIA.

Im going to be solo visiting tokyo for the new years looking for people to hang out with, party or go see the sights 24 m Usa

I plan travel to Japan, and one of my travelers is a huge Bruce Springsteen fan. He wants to know if there is any Bruce Fan Club in Tokyo. LMK. Thanks!

Hey, so I am going to rent a R34 for a night in Tokyo in early february and I want to go to some cool locations to shoot some pics, thinking of 7-eleven parking lots, pretty alleys or gas stations and things like that. I know about Daikoku, Tatsumi PA etc. but wondering if anyone has some other suggestions. We are planning to explore the city but would be nice to have some go-to locations.

Hello everyone!

I just arrived to Tokyo from Philippines (backpacking trip) and my both bank cards got wet and now the chip doesnt work anymore. Anyone here who uses paypal? I was wondering if it would be possible that i transfer money to you via paypal and as soon as you can see it in your account then you would withdraw it for me. Not huge amount of cash but just that i had some physical money too. I can also give you like 4k JPY for the "job".

Thanks!

I found meguro dermatology clinic but it doesnt seem to have what i want treated which is laser treatment for skin tags. Any ideas on any other dermatologists that would be able to help?

Hey guys, as title says I'm looking for some Japanese grown coffee beans in Tokyo. I'm staying in Shinjuku but I'm travelling around the city. It's a gift for my brother.

Thanks.

I’ll be traveling over new years on the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Kyoto with 4 people. It looks like tickets are selling out online. What is the most reliable app or website to purchase tickets in advance?

Dear all,

Here's a little information about where I am from. I live in Malaysia where there are only sunny and rainy seasons. So I have never driven in snow or seen a snow tyre before. But I have been to Japan multiple times on summer and autumn seasons. And I have also driven in Japan before.

I plan to drive in Sapporo (12th Feb to 20th Feb 2025), Tokyo and places around Mount Fuji (6th of Feb 2025 to 11th Feb 2025) this coming February and thinking of driving from Tokyo to Mount Fuji. Please note that I have driven from Tokyo to Lake Kawaguchiko before. But my concern is that will drive in the winter be challenging? The reason of wanting to drive is that we have big luggages as we will in Japan for almost a month.

Can you give me advice on what should I take note on my first time driving in winter Japan (if u agree of my plan to drive)? Are winter tires chain needed, or regular snow tires are sufficient?

Thank you.

Hi! I'll be going from shinjuku to nagoya aichi and stumbled on a website called willer travel. This js a highway bus booking in japan and the prices are very low compared to other bus like keio, is this legit website?

My friend is in Tokyo and can buy me a Steam Deck (I live in a country without official distribution).

I want to contact an authorized retail store to check if there is any available in stock. Additionally, I also want to check if they can send the package to a pick up point in a convenience store near her hotel.

Is there any way to contact the store considering I don't speak Japanese? I checked their website but couldn't find any info. The store for reference: Bic Camera Ikebukuro Camera・PC-kan

Thanks in advance! :)

Maximize 24 hours in Tokyo

My dad and I (54 and 22) are taking a two week trip to Thailand. On our returning flight we connect through Narita. We decided F*** it were going to see what Tokyo has to offer. We land around 4:00pm on a Sunday and we're taking the Keisei train to Tokyo (don't know what stop yet). Shooting to be checked into a hotel and free by 7:00pm that night. From there we fly out on 5:00pm that Monday. We want to absolutely maximize our short time and see as much as possible. We are both active and like sight seeing, drinks, food, and everything else. Open to being touristy.

Any recommendations help!

Thanks in advance.

Hi everyone! My boyfriend and I are going to Tokyo at the end of January and it's our first time ever visiting. We're staying in Roppongi but want to explore all parts of the city!

Any recommendations on great spots to eat or must see sites? I'm overwhelmed with information online! My partner would really love to go to a sky/ rooftop bar as well but I'm seeing that a lot of them are closed in the winter months. Any recs would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Hi! We will be traveling from Tokyo to Kyoto via the Shinkansen from Shinagawa station. We would rather not ship our bags ahead of us. We will have 4 large suitcases (not carry on size but not enormous- maybe 26” with wheels), one duffle and 4 backpacks for 4 people. Is it possible to navigate the train station with that many bags and also fit them on the train. Is there an elevator? I know there are seats available with room behind them for pre-booking. If i am unable to get those seats, will I be able to find room for them? If we do decide to ship our bags, does it take 2 full days to ship them from Tokyo to Kyoto? Any quicker shipping method? Thanks!

I’m planning to consult at a beauty clinic and for English speakers, they asked us to bring a translator. I’m not sure where is the best place to look for one that can help translate between English and Japanese. I’ve seen YouTube where people rent friends in Japan but they don’t ever disclose how they rent them. Any suggestions?

Is there an ice skating rink near or around tokyo that’s open around new years? I’m not really sure if this is a thing there but was curious to know so we can add to our travel plans.

I love Japanese people's fashion! I'm planning to go to Shibuya 109, Harajuku, and Ginza for shopping. I'd like to buy a warm black coat, fashionable outfits that can be worn in corporate too, punk/goth fasion, and classy outfits similar to what Kate Middleton wears. Please advise. P.S. That's me in the picture. I'm in my 30s. (For reference)
