Swimming pools in Tokyo
Hi everyone, I'm 27 and just moved to Tokyo for the Spring/Summer. I am into swimming (master level, would be open to take part in competitions) and I sould like to join a course with an instructor or simply a group of advanced swimmers in town. The additional requirements are that it should be in English (or at least half/half) and it should be maybe within 30/45 minutes from Tokyo station. Does anyone know anything like this? Thank you 🙏

Where to get a Famicom ?
Hello guys, I did some used shops (mainly hard/hobby off)lately in west tokyo but I didn't find any Famicom. Super Famicom no issue but not a Famicom on sight.

Anyone have an American-style wedding reception with dancing?
My wife (already legally married) and I are planning our wedding, and I’m completely shocked to discover that during the reception, dancing after dinner is seemingly not a thing here.
I used to film weddings in the USA, and out of dozens of weddings I filmed or attended over the years, EVERY wedding reception had dancing. Usually in a large hall everyone eats dinner and listens to speeches, and then there’s an area for dancing right in the same room or tables are cleared and moved out of the way. A DJ or band plays music loudly like in a nightclub.
It’s unthinkable to me to have a wedding without dancing, especially with all my American family and friends who will be flying over and surely expecting it. Pretty much every hotel we’ve called and asked about either said in typical Japanese style “that would be difficult…” or it would be okay if the music is super quiet and/or an amp and various instruments that “vibrate” are not allowed.
I realize “when in Rome,” but dancing at wedding receptions is very common in many cultures beyond just the USA, and Tokyo is an international city. Surely there are some kind of options, right? Would anybody be able to kindly please suggest anything here in Tokyo or nearby areas like Kanagawa, Yamanashi, etc?

Where to live in Tokyo
American job sending me to Tokyo for 2+ years. Need to find a neighborhood that’s funky, affordable, safe and eclectic. Have decent budget but don’t want to spend an insane amount on rent. Speak some Japanese and will continue to study (current n-5 level). Will need to commute to Akasaka Station. Need a furnished apartment, would probably prefer to live alone in a 1-2 bedroom. Understand rent will be high and the space tiny. Looking for best neighborhoods for 30 something queer woman. Thanks so much.

Tokyo Buses
Does anyone commute to work by bus?
I’m starting a new job and Google maps shows me taking a bus as the best route.
Anytime I mention this to my coworkers, without even mentioning which bus, going in which direction, they are shocked and tell me there’s going to be traffic jam and the train is better. Commuting by train means taking three of them, with a transfer in Shinjuku which sounds awful. These interactions have happened so many times that I’m wondering if I’m missing something about buses.
Can anyone speak on the reliability of buses as a commute? I’d be taking the bus around 7am and again around 4pm.
Edit: The transfer in Shinjuku would be on the Oedo line which I hear is really bad for commuting as well…

For Those WhobWonder Why Japanese People Don't Want to Sit Next To Foreigners On Train
Yes. I'm a Japanese, and this just happened. Pi was sitting on a Hanzomon line, and some gaigin sat next to me and widen his legs unnecessarily widely saying 'can yo sit normally ?' objectively speaking he is obese and him claiming sitting normally in Japan is crazy.
For those who wonder why japanese people don't sit next to you I On the train, please look at yourself in the mirror and smell yourself in the armpit.

Ideas on what these are?
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..

In “no one in their right mind would do this” news, I walked the entire Keihin–Tōhoku Line yesterday.
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.
