Where would I go to get a sliding door? A sliding door for inside, basic shitty wood product with a wood grain sticker. Any stores in Aichi/Mie/Gifu? Any online stores I can order from or get a “custom” build? What is the Japanese I should use to search for it myself?
Thank you in advnce.
To anyone who switched to nuro during a “we’ll pay your cancellation fees” campaign, how easy was the process to get reimbursed for canceling your previous internet service?
Has anyone had any success talking loved ones out of MLMs? My girlfriend is thinking about starting with one called Synergy Worldwide which is… very clearly a scam. Worse yet she was recruited by her sister of all people. I really don’t want to watch her go down this path… Any advice?
Is there anywhere in Tokyo that sells boneless salmon fillets? All the local supermarkets I’ve seen only have the packs of smaller cuts that still have bones in them.
EDIT: thanks for the replies!
So this is very anecdotal and unscientific, but is the percentage of snowboarders in Japan who ride goofy (right foot forward) way lower than in other places? Its seemed like a very big majority were riding regular from what I observed, more that I am used to seeing in the US.
Am I wrong or is this a real thing? Is it also true for surfing or skating?
Anyone have any JLPT/Kanji schools in the Shinjuku area to recommend (preferaby after 6 PM)? I can speak japanese at a high-level but just can’t get over the hump to pass the N2 as my reading/kanji level is very poor (studying on my own hasn’t been effective as failed N2 last 3 attempts). Thanks.
Any recommendations for an android app to replace SmartNews since it went to shit with the latest update.
Found an apartment to buy that is perfect in ways that are unchangeable. Location is 5 minutes from the station, top floor and on a corner. Nice windows, two balconies. So lovely.
But, the interior is not quite what I wanted. Smaller kitchen, outdated fixtures and cabinetry, walls are not quite the right color, even the floor could be improved.
Am I an idiot for thinking I should get because of the location and renovate the hell out of the interior? Is that even possible?
So I have a rakuten visa cc and they had an offer for a second cc and you get 1000 points. I did that and got a master card.
The point card numbers in the back of the cards are different but I can access both cards from my rakuten account
Are the points pooled together? I want to keep one card for auto pay utilities and the other for shopping but I want to only worry about one set of points
Recommendations for maternity clothing stores in Tokyo or Saitama that carries bigger sizes/plus sizes?
I’m about a size 8/10 US and that’s about LL in japan. Most maternity clothes I’ve seen go up to L or are “free size” but grows with the stomach. I tried Shimamura, but my local branch doesn’t carry maternity clothing.
I’m finally at the point where my normal bra hurts and my jeans are starting to hurt my stomach 😅

Where do you guys have your ingrown toenails checked and fixed around Tokyo/Kawasaki/Yokohama? Is it covered by insurance?
How many days past the “best before”/expiration date is (boiled) shirasu safe to eat? I had a pack that’s due on February 22nd but it feels bad to just throw them away.
I have a house here with an uneven outside wall, as in the surface is designed deliberately uneven for what I assume is aesthetic purposes.
I want to affix things to it, like cameras. I was hoping to do this without drilling holes in my wall (I own the place, I just don’t want to fuck up and invite moisture or whatever to the inside of my wall and compromise insulation).
Has anybody been in this position? How did you affix stuff to your outer wall? I’ve tried the 3M stuff but it really does not work well on an uneven surface.
