I will be in Japan for the first time and I'm planing to spend my entire 14-day trip just in Tokyo. I don't know if it's a good idea though. Should I go somewhere else? I feel like I only have enough time for Tokyo.

Hello first time poster. Please be sure to use the catalog next time to see the Japan general that has already been created for these exact posts.
Thank you for your cooperation and happy browising.
i spent 3 weeks in tokyo and i didnt get enough! I met a lot of people who'd also visited other places like kyoto & ostaka but I got the feeling that everyone liked Tokyo the best.

I'm about to land in Tokyo tomorrow.
Been SEAmaxxing.
Where should I stay boys? I haven't booked any stays yet.
did you sex a Japanese qt?
there is lots to do. you will be fine
While I imagine there's plenty to do, maybe try one week in Tokyo and one week in another city of your choosing. If you're good with your time, you'll get to see the best of both and still have time left!
Well thats what JR Rail pass is for anon. all cities are easily connected to one another through intercity rail. and you can just hop on a train and see something different.
>I feel like I only have enough time for Tokyo.
tokyo's overrated and boring
you can be done with it in 3 days
much more shit to see elsewhere, like you could easily fill 2 weeks worth of shit to do in Kyoto but tokyo there's fricking shit all to do apart from go to bars and restaurants
Where's the best place to meet local girls and get laid?
Like the coom scene? yes it's very good if you're White. Are you White?
HUB bar in Shibuya and Roppongi. You can avoid nightclub as it's 80% men there
Interesting, time to work on my Japanese. What kind of women are there?
The ones you don't want to stick to too much. Fun for a night but avoid any further contact. They go there to "hunt" gaijin. Be it for showing off to their friends, getting out of Japan asap, etc. Especially in Roppongi it's bad. But that was pre-covid, so no idea if it changed.
If you stay longer I would suggest to make friends and join them partying. They all have their friend circles that go to Karaoke on weekends, etc. That's where I found the real female gems. And you won't be that scary gaijin anymore once you are in a group of Japanese. And I wanna add: Many girls I talked to, some of them really pretty, complained how difficult it is to find a boyfriend. And it's true, the number of relationship is really low in Japan.
Just use Tinder and be above a 4/10 if you are anything other than Indian (need to be a 9/10).
Nice larping, but tinder in Japan is a fcking joke.
Best way to get laid is to go for shibuya meltdown.
Other ppl don't mention in it, but better polish your japanese, since japanese women are supremely shy to talk in english
Moreover, forget about japanese group of friends if you're not enrolled in university here.
Polish people are in Japan getting laid? Good for them
shibuya meltdown? what is that? you mean the instagram account that captures people passing out from drunkenness in shibuya?
Does this apply for Black people too or just whites?
>since japanese women are supremely shy
Wouldn't that be more of a reason to use tinder, and just getting ghosted there rather than approaching 1000 girls to get the same bullshit results. I can even swipe on the go, and maximize time efficiently. Plus the girls more likely to (attempt to) speak english are on tinder and bumble.
alright what if i'm an asian guy from the US who just wants to sleep with cute white weebs traveling in japan?
Based, that's me. You'll probably want to use Bumble as that's where all the foreign women go, or just talk them up at bars
noone wants your tiny micropenis so just give up now lmao
>tinder in Japan is a fcking joke
Not really except if you're fat or brown.
Went several times to Japan, also semester abroad. I always stay in Tokyo at least one or two weeks. So it's absolute fine for you to just stay there. So much to see and to do. You can combine it with 2-3 day trips to Kamakura, Nikko or some country side. Kamakura is similar to Kyoto but smaller, very worth to see and very different to Tokyo. And it's a short train ride away. From Yokohama you can go back to Tokyo by ship and it almost costs the same as a train ticket.
Imagine spending 14 days in Los Angeles or 14 days in Berlin.
I won’t say Paris or New York because those cities have centuries of history and colossal museums. Tokyo got burned to the ground 80 years ago and virtually all of it was built up after that.
It’s a nice city and there is stuff to do, but is it 14 days without being bored nice? No.
>but is it 14 days without being bored nice? No.
You must have ADHD or something because I stayed there for a month and didn't get bored.
You’re easily entertained and that’s okay. But most of the best things about Japan are outside of Tokyo.
Spend one week in Tokyo, then go somewhere else. Tbh Honest in Tokyo there isn't much to do for 2 weeks
You can do day trips to Fujikawaguchiko and Nikko.
Bump, curious about this also. Kind of feel like I'll be a moron for not seeing a few places but also don't want to feel rushed going around.
then kys and use the right thread instead.
Agree that 2 weeks is fine in Tokyo if you're the sort of person that likes to just explore neighbourhoods and see what you come across.
You could easily spend two or three days just exploring Meguro, let alone somewhere like Shibuya or Shinjuku.
Can you just go into a random restaurant and order food without any real japanese proficiency?
>Can you just go into a random restaurant and order food without any real japanese proficiency?
the place I went tonight didn't have bilingual menus, so it'll probably be like thailand: Google translate or they'll hand you a separate english menu that they have 1 copy of
No you won't regret it. I'm here for my third week in Tokyo. It has everything you want from Japan. Not saying you wouldn't enjoy other cities or towns, but you won't regret skipping them for Tokyo. If you have specific interests that Tokyo caters to like figurines or arcades, then 3 weeks is necessary. I know that I'd be full with regret if I had to leave Tokyo within a week or two.
Spend a few days in Tokyo, then go to Osaka/Kyoto (they're right next to each other. Take the Shinkansen to either one and stay there, then ride JR to either one) and go to the stuff there. Osaka Castle, Arashiyama, and all that kind of stuff. I'd then personally recommend you go down to Kyushu and visit Fukuoka and Nagasaki.
Don't spend the whole time in Tokyo just boozing in Roppongi and Shibuya.
Skip Fukuoka and go to Kagoshima instead, you'll never get so close to an active volcano anywhere else in the world for so cheap.
I enjoy Fukuoka a lot but I live close by and it's a pretty good spot to party at and there's some real good food there, but yeah I think I would probably amend my recommendation and suggest that he just go straight from Osaka to Nagasaki and then from Nagasaki and finishing out at Kagoshima.
Grab the Hakone freepass and spend a couple days there.
I lost my phone. I bought a new one, but they would only give me a sim card with no phone number. Is it true that it's illegal for tourists to get proper sim cards? Any way I can get around this? I'm really isolated here with no phone number or line account.
Mobal has sims with phone numbers for tourists. I think they're priced for 1-3 months though.
Lol they're charging 8000 yen for one month, what s ripoff. But at least that's an option.
