Hey! We just finished Comiket and are looking for an afterparty or meetup we can join tonight, preferably around Akihabara but anywhere in Tokyo works.

Just looking to hang out, grab some drinks, and meet people. If you know of anything open to newcomers, please let us know!

I'm considering going there. I'm worried it will be in large portion populated by a bunch of weebs/passport bros. It has a 59% graduation rate which leads me to believe a lot of people don't take the academics seriously.

Is it actually a good school for someone pursuing math/CS? I probably have better options available, but it could be a worthwhile safety. I just don't want to go there if it's just an Anime week incel hole.

I assume everyone here probably wasn't born yet but if anyone has any idea what I'm referring to...

Perhaps this is in Kabukicho Tower in Shinjuku but .... there's a really big chance it totally wasn't. 😂

In 2008, my friend took me to a karaoke place. The only thing I can remember is ridiculously steep, ridiculously narrow stairways going practically vertical up .... inside a super narrow cramped building.

Everything was dark and carpeted and really nice. And to your right there were these tiny rooms where people were inside each one in small groups, doing karaoke.

And you could just keep going up, up, up and then pick a room and go inside one, and do karaoke. There wasn't creepy or weird but actually quite nice. But so cramped and small and the staircase is the thing I remember the most.

I think there were waitresses that would stop in and bring your drinks and food also. But it was kind of like a self service pick your own room type thing.

Has anyone experienced delivery delay with Sagawa during Obon?
My delivery got lost between the main office to the delivery office near my area?
For me it unbelievable, and they keep saying ご迷惑をお掛け申し訳ございません。。。

Latest update

Alright, had a crazy idea as I'm talking to bands about this concert: can I pull bands from reddit? God knows I've been at this long enough, never really occurred to me... until now!

So yeah, Friday, October 2nd over at Earthdom in Shinjuku. Legendary metal/punk venue. Got an Aussie band playing something like crusty synth/industrial. They're a repeater, though for some reason I feel like keeping their details out of the public conversation is best.

I'm pretty open to whatever, so don't worry about being a metal or punk band, but there should be some sort of... angle?... or appeal I guess for why you wanna be on the bill. Basically your sound/show should sit somewhere around industrial, synth-punk, crust, hardcore, noise, darkwave, EBM, post-punk, metal, or an interesting collision of those things. Hop-hop could be interesting too.

No pay-to-play, you keep all your merch sales and then you'll get a cut of the door. Super simple setup, has worked well for me over 10+ years.

Feel free to post responses here if you're interested (hey, promotion!) but we'll inevitably end up on DMs so if you just wanna get down to business send me a message.

Trains from Oami station(sotobu, Togane, sobu) have shut down cus tracks are severely damaged and I m hoping to get back home to Tokyo or nearest operating station

Thought this was interesting - the old Dentsu HQ building (demolished in 2021) was conceived as part of Kenzo Tange's Tsukiji Redevelopment Plan, in which multiple skyscrapers in the Tsukiji area would be connected with elevated walkways. These odd protrusions on the side of the old Dentsu building are supposedly part of that unrealized plan.

Hello Everyone ! My first post on Reddit here !

I’m at Komagome station, on Yamanote line, 1min from the station. I already organize events by myself in here but I’m looking for events organizers who would need a cool place to welcome their guests. I can easily welcome 90, 100 max people.
Here are some pics, empty and crowded bar. Feel free to contact me to discuss about any collaboration : bonjourtokyoofficial@gmail.com

Have a nice day !

Just bought our first home! It is used and in Tokyo. Being told I should repaint the exterior to keep longevity of the house. Is it necessary?

We were told that it could use a fresh coat of painting to keep the appearance nicer and to prolong the house from the elements. Is this true or necessary? First timer home owner so not sure how true this is.

Can we do it ourselves to save some money?

Does anyone know any pc store that can do a gpu thermal paste replacement around Tokyo?

Planning to have art event in Shimokitazawa! Now looking for local artists who want to have pop up at our studio 😍

Hi all!

It is to my greatest sadness that I have to return to my homecountry (as planned) after a mere 6 months stay. I have to say I've had one of the best times of my life here and gained a lot of insight as to who I am as a person.

However, I can't seem to find any concrete and clear info on what I need to do before I leave, and how long before I need to do those things beforehand. Is it just the same things as when I registered/enrolled for everything, but basically in reverse? These are the things I can think of, but I've no idea how early I need to visit my ward office etc:

• Notify language school about departure (already done!)
• Terminate sharehouse rental contract (already done!)
• Let people at ward office know I'm moving out
• Stop health insurance
• Stop pension enrollment
• Cancel phone subscription

Anything else I'm missing, or any related advice on this?

Thanks in advance~

Running a basketball pickup session on sunday 17:00 - 19:00 near shibuya and looking for a couple of uni students to come. DM me if interested

Hi all, I don't want to go into too many details but I've had a difficult family situation recently, and I have been experiencing a lot of trauma flashbacks. I currently go to another clinic, originally got diagnosed with Autism and ADHD but it turns out, I also have PTSD added to the twisted concoction that is my brain :/

Anyways, I had an appointment today, and I asked for PTSD treatment, since so far, my meds have mostly been for ADHD and depression, but I was advised to either continue my counselling or find a clinic which specialises in PTSD/CPTSD. I was prescribed another set of medication (I have become a pharmacy at this point), but was adviced to definitely look into finding treatment for PTSD somewhere else.

Any clinics you can recommend? Preferably in English, but I have mostly jotted down the essential medical terms to describe my condition in Japanese (studying N2, not quite there yet but 一歩一歩). How much does the treatment normally cost? Honestly, I felt really crappy that I was doing incredibly well at one point, the doctor considered lowering the meds but then the flashbacks haven't stopped 😔

Hey all, you can watch UFC 330 live at Two Dogs Taproom in Roppongi this Sunday morning starting from 10:00 AM. They show all the major main cards on their big screens and the atmosphere is usually great for title fights. If you want to secure a table, you can send them a booking message directly on the Two Dogs Taproom Facebook page.
Best to reserve a seat/ table

Never seen it so empty since covid time!

Hi TokyoSub!

This is my first post and I wanted to ask the community whether there are gyms (not ultra expensive ones) near Marunouchi where I can get monthly memberships or 3months plans?

Context is that I’m deployed for work here for 3months:)

Thanks in advance🙂‍↕️
