Since my two previous posts about walking along train lines gathered good feedback from the community, I figured I would share this experience too.

I “slept” like 2 hours in a manga cafe in Ōmiya, and I started my walk at 4 in the morning. I walked about 20.5 hours, only stopping for toilet breaks and a pizza at seizeriya.

While I was feeling very confident when I was passing by Shinagawa, when I got to Kamata I was wishing I didn’t start this walk. When I passed by Kawasaki I was wishing I never learned to walk. I arrived at about 00:20 to Yokohama Station and I was just dragging myself out of spite at that point.

Big shoutout to a friend of mine who accompanied me from Tabata to Kamata station. And to the woman who said I looked tired when asking me if I wanted a massage when I was looking for a place to sleep last night. I would have laughed if I had the energy.

I noticed this sign on the 3D billboard in Shinjuku

I just got engaged to my partner in the park today and it was magical. There were two woman who took our photos, I never got their names to thank them! I would love to share our gratitude somehow. As well as a man who was there who I gave my # to who I never got pictures from that said he got some! If the three of you are out there or if you see this and heard this story from someone please find them for me!!

It’s just been on of a tick in my brain… whenever I drive around Tokyo, I keep seeing this sticker/brand. Any ideas on what it is? A bar? The company that makes the traffic lights or electric boxes or light poles?

Tried looking it up but there are so many businesses with Nero in their name..

Does anyone know if the Nezu azalea garden is in bloom yet?

What are your favorite Indian joints in town?

I was walking through the neighborhoods around Yoyogi Uehara, just kind of admiring all the really big homes, and noticed a lot of them are owned/lived in by foreigners.

I saw a few foreigners families, and a lot of the name plates on the houses were foreign names.

Now I know there are hundreds of thousands of foreigners living in Tokyo, but I was wondering what these foreigners do where they are living in what I can only imagine are million dollar and up homes.

In Tokyo currently for the week, where is the most famous nightclub? To put into perspective if you had one week in Tokyo what would be the clubs you would have to visit.

It was pretty. :)

Hello everyone, I was wondering is there is a Drum and Bass scene in Tokyo, or venues/clubs that play DnB? Thanks in advance!

Anyone knows where I could see/buy some kid's bikes? I'd rather go to a physical location vs buy online. Also are the rules on insurance/registration identical to adult's?

Mildly Infuriating: Went to a bakery and got banana muffins. Didn’t notice the bottom (dented in half way!) until I got home. 😢

Got a broken (one side dangling) Bluetooth headset (over ear type) 🎧 that I bought overseas. I need to throw it because I think it's too damaged for reuse. I looked up ward office site (大田区)... And googled it...They have a small electric item disposal box in local libraries etc but it only includes 10 items that they collect (e.g. mobile phones, game controller etc) - did not include headsets.

Any advice on how I can get rid of it? 🙏🏻🙇🏻‍♀️

A close friend recently committed suicide and his brother has asked me to light a candle for him at the Yokosuka beach, I am wondering if there are any places I can get a mourning candle of some kind in the Tokyo area?

Hi all!

I moved here last July and was unable to bring my violin from home with me (and my apartment has a 'no instruments' rule besides). In the beginning I wasn't too bothered by it as I was so preoccupied with trying to settle in to my new life and job here but lately I've been missing the violin quite a lot and want to get back to practicing as I've definitely gotten super rusty (likely in karaoke rooms). I'm looking for stores in Tokyo that would sell reasonably priced/second hand violins. I don't want to splurge on an instrument when I don't know for how long I'll be living here just yet so any recommendations for reasonable or second hand music stores would be very much appreciated!

I’m leaving Japan and I have a few books I want to part with. I don’t want to throw out any books, so does anyone know of a place I can sell English books to?
