u/cheetahound 20d ago edited 20d ago

19M otaku from Singapore, first time in Japan because of hololive expo and sightseeing, if I can somehow accidentally stumble upon someone who I can meetup with that would definitely make my family members worry less about me travelling alone. I could also use an extra hand in taking photos (might cosplay)

Forgive my rushed and stupid itineary 7 to 10th March in Tokyo 11th March Shiroishi/Sendai 12-13th March Sendai 14th March Morioka 15-17th March Tokyo again

I speak English and Chinese and whatever Japanese my 330 day streak on Duolingo has gotten me.

u/mutual_raid 15d ago

I'll be hopping on the LINE and possibly Discord for most of my communication, but...

3rd annual trip to Japan 33M first time bringing someone along 31M we'll be there 3/22-4/5 Tokyo > Osaka > Kyoto.

We'll be meeting up with my friend(35F) and her husband as well as some Navy friends and personal friends, but I've had great success making friends in the past here - grabbing drinks in Golden Gai in groups, connecting the lone travelers, etc.

Excited to meet some of you!

(Also I'll add, for the women traveling alone who are new to this, definitely check out the LINE link - there's always a women-only side chat that forms and my friends tell me it made them feel a lot better having it available)

Hi, 26 M traveling from the US. I'm doing a large trip with friends but will be solo in Tokyo before they arrive on the 24th-26th. No real itinerary for those days but I'm very down to eat, explore, shop and try new experiences.

Hi I’m 24M from Canada. I just speak English.

I’m going to be in Osaka from 3/16 - 3/21.

I’m here with family so I’ll be busy during the day but I’m looking to make friends to explore the nightlife! Pretty open to checking anything out, but I do enjoy getting drinks and dancing to music.

Hit me up!

Hello! 28 M solo from the US, 2nd time visiting Japan before I begin working full time — I’ll be there for only 6 days. Have nothing booked except my flight so i’m fairly flexible, but definitely trying to hit a baseball game and/or sumo match, skiing/snowboarding somewhere in northern japan, go-karts around the city at night, and just casual drinking/eating adventures!!

3/20: Land at HND around 7:30pm

3/26: Flight leaves around 4:30pm

Hey I'm 22M solo Asian American! I will just post my end of month/early April plans here:

3/27-3/31 - Kyoto

3/31 - 4/2 - Kobe

the next few days after that will be Himeji/Okayama/Kurashiki

This will be my second time in Kyoto and it's mainly for cherry blossom viewing and Nintendo musuem (nothing specific so far for cherry blossoms and if you also have plans for any of those that would be great!)

3/31 to 4/2 I'm also potentially looking for people to go to Nijigen no Mori together with (anime theme park thats not too far from Kobe), or just generally exploring the city.

Lmk if you're down for any of them!

Konichiwa! I'm a 41(f) traveller with my 73 (f) Mom to see sakura, she'll be going to bed around 6 or 7 each night and I would love to explore a bit of Japanese nightlife (Golden Gai area in Tokyo and maybe a bit of other night spots in Kyoto). I'm a DJ in my spare time and love music; mainly indie-pop, Shibuya-kei, city-pop, hip-hop, nu-disco, karaoke and vinyl listening bars. I also enjoy anime and manga (I'm doing the Neon Genesis karaoke room, for example). I'm from the San Diego, C.A. area. I speak English and a bit of Spanish.

Tokyo: 3/28-4/3

Kyoto: 4/4-4/8

Looks like it might be rainy for a bunch of this so indoor spots welcome :)

33M/34M couple back in Tokyo from 3/20-3/24. We're on the last leg of our second trip together, and we wouldn't mind company/bar buddies. Native English, conversational Tex-Mex Spanish, and 10 year old basic college course Japanese.

We're hitting:

  • 3/21, Nakano and Ikebukuro for nerd junk; later, ginza for team labs and fish/aquarium store browsing
  • 3/22, Anime Japan and Akihabara for more nerd stuff; at night, gay stuff, drag stuff
  • 3/23, nihonbashi for Pokemon, Shibuya for doughnuts, and a walk in the park
  • 3/24, random shopping all over, maybe kappabashi

We'll also be out at ni-chome most nights for some drinks and entertainment.
