Hello, 19M Asian and will be in Tokyo from May 28 – June 5, Morioka from June 8-13, and Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route on June 18.
Looking for friends around my age to do stuff with as my itinerary is looking rather dull.
28m from US spending 2 months in Japan (primarily Tokyo).
Having been here for a few weeks already, I recommend joining our Line group which currently has 170 travelers prior to leaving home since 2FA often doesn’t work on pocket wifi / SIM cards. Link: https://line.me/ti/g/pC2r_uDw8j
Hello fellow strangers of the internet! 27M from San Francisco, CA, USA.
This is probably hands down the most spontaneous thing I’ve ever done but literally bought my flight two days ago.
Solo traveling to Japan next week and was hoping to make some friends along the way! There’s so much adventure in the uncertainty and it’d make a really cool story sharing life stories with a complete stranger in a foreign country! Life’s short and unpredictable and I’m excited to see what the universe will bring my way! Whether it’s temple hopping, hitting up hole-in-the-wall Izakayas, checking out an event, or looking like a goofy foreigner, let me know if you’d be interested getting lost in the city with me!
My tentative Itinerary (May 29th – June 21st)
Hakone: 5/30 to 6/1
Nikko: 6/2 to 6/4
Sendai: 6/5
Hakodate: 6/6
Sapporo: 6/7 to 6/11
Tokyo: 6/12 to 6/21
Ghibli Park – June 15th – 2 tickets
I have two extra any-age (Adult) tickets to the Ghibli Park (the park in Nagoya, NOT the museum in Tokyo) for June 15th. They were originally for my brother and his wife, but they decided to go to a different city on this day.
These are Japan-domestically purchased tickets:
10am Dondoko Forest (Totoro section)
2pm Whisper of the Heart + Warehouse Combo Ticket (must enter WotH at 2pm, but the main warehouse at any time).
Important note: because these are part of a 6 ticket reservation, you must enter as part of a group with my family for each section. The schedule is 10am Totoro, then Warehouse ~10:45, then WotH after lunch at 2pm.
Reimburse me the face value of the tickets in person on the day of. PM me if interested.
Hi! I’m 26M. I will be in Tokyo from June 9-14! Hoping we could meet up! Haven’t had plans yet but just exploring the city and no hectic schedule yet.
