Because you’re a pathetic weeb and you think “next time’s the time I’m gonna find a qt jap girl” who reminds you of some colorful kid in your Chinese cartoon. But she doesn’t exist and if she did she wouldn’t marry you.
I'm not a weeb thoughever and I fricked a jap girl while I was there, still feel like i need to go back. Would I be better off going to another country?
Japan has fallen to westerners and it's anything what it should be like now. Japanese kneeled to the cuckmask and vax shit which seriously ruined many things. The amount of AMERICA in places like Akihabara, Shibuya, Central Tokyo, and even some other places like Kyoto are an embarrassment to walk past as a white tourist on holiday. Where did it go so wrong? Trump? The pandemic? What. People were constantly assuming simply by being white I was there to talk to them in English, yet I've studied all pandemic to be essentially fluent in Japanese to where subtitles in some of my favorite anime aren't needed on the second watch. It's emberrassing to be in so many places and hear "Hello, would you like a table to sit down?" rather than the native tongue.
All the good times you would want to have from those early 2000 anime or things you would often see on GTO, K-On, or /comfy/ memories of the japanese country side such as mushishi and NNB are dead. Everything is now made Japan a theme park to where the soul is gone from it. There isn't a "Japan" anymore it's a glorified holiday theme park.
>DID THAT JAPARINO JUST ADDRESS ME IN ENGLISH?? DOESN'T HE KNOW I STUDIED FLASH CARDS FOLDED OVER 9000 TIMES? THIS IS NOTHING LIKE MY HECKIN ANIME! JAPAN HAS FALLEN. BILLIONS MUST DIE.

i mean he's kinda right, japan is super manufactured
>oh lets rebuild this castle for the tourists >oh they need to get a nice picture of the castle, lets build a platform so everyone gets the same picture, make sure you line up for your picture! >here is regional snacks of the area
I think Japan is better explored with a car anyways and visiting all the hiking/nature spots.
This is either one of the worst posts I've ever seen or exquisite bait. >A country that has worn masks for decades just for a simple flu has sold out because they wear masks for corona >Akihabara, one of the countries biggest tourist centres, is a tourist center >They don't adress me, a western looking foreigner, in their language, but rather in mine >The country's nothing like my 20 year old cartoons made me believe it would be >Japan has fallen
You're why I love this place. 50% schizophrenics and 50% the dumbest fricker you could possibly find
I got to live the weeb anime fantasy of living in Japan in the early 2000’s and it brings me small comfort that none of you will ever experience it now.
>you will never cruise a Japanese highway at night in a late 90’s Nissan pickup w/ 5 on the tree smoking cigs and listening to Jap radio
>You will never get picked up by some random gaijin hunter at 4 am after a night of drinking and taken back to a love hotel
>You will never have Japanese workers bow and kiss your ass because your company is their client
>You will never experience the kino levels of social interaction that existed before the advent of smart phones
You can’t go back and you can’t take my memories from me.

Maybe two of these things are actual "weeb anime fantasy"
Oh there was more than that man, I just couldn’t be assed to effort post that much. Early 2000s Japan was peak for being a white foreigner and you can’t convince me otherwise.

sounds tight not gonna lie, what industry? I married a japanese girl before I even went the first time and missed out on going to Soapland with my japanese friend. really wish I coulda gone when usd to yen was 1-200+ and flip phones were still big
>he amount of AMERICA in places like Akihabara, Shibuya, Central Tokyo, and even some other places like Kyoto are an embarrassment to walk past
Beyond the american is the amount of Chinese and filipino presence. okubo park is a bunch of foreigners domming Japs in basketball while their women surround the exterior of the park, waiting to accept a 150 USD creampie.
It's quite the scene.
>I've studied all pandemic to be essentially fluent in Japanese to where subtitles in some of my favorite anime aren't needed on the second watch. It's emberrassing to be in so many places and hear "Hello, would you like a table to sit down?" rather than the native tongue.
No way this isn't a troll. A person like this cannot exist. Really good bait though.
>and have zero hips, breasts or ass
you say that like its a bad thing but its literally why they're top tier
butts arent supposed to stick out
hips are shit
breasts grow bigger when you put kids in them
Butts need shape and perk
A butt that is flat is not appealing whatsoever
And good hips almost always equals a good butt too
Not every girl with good hips and ass is a obese Black person you know?
Funny thing is, I actually fricked a kuroneko kawai moe moe japanese girl. Didn't pay for it and it took me two solid dates. She was kinda ugly tho but I was committed mainly because I wanted to fulfill that stupid fantasy that many people have. She was into cosplay, met her at a HUB (the one in Akihabara). I was the one that approached her and it somehow worked out. I have probably approached near 40-50 girls during my stay + tinder and only that one worked out. I've been doing the same in several other countries and I gotta admit Japan was the hardest, specially because my Japanese sucks. I still wanna go back to Japan although I don't wanna try getting laid again, too much work for a mediocre girl with soft ass (in a bad way).
>fricked an ugly b***h
Ah, you’re such a low value male you lower your own standards yourself. That was not a flex. Not even the anon you’re replying to
That ship sailed when I realized I can only get hard to girls who actually touch me aggressively. Japs are so soft that they put me to sleep, which isn't a bad thing because they're the best girls for making you feel totally relaxed. But I'm kinda trying to coom and have wild sex. I'm becoming more of a chinkophile these days because they are active during sex, but I'm too scared to go to that shithole just for pussy.
Also too much porn has made me conditioned to believe women only have worth if they're thick, which the majority of Asians simply are not.
>Because you’re a pathetic weeb
fpbp >and you think “next time’s the time I’m gonna find a qt jap girl” who reminds you of some colorful kid in your Chinese cartoon. But she doesn’t exist and if she did she wouldn’t marry you.
Still valid but you're projecting pretty hard right here
yeeus hate Christ so they organize to ruin countries where Christianity is dominant religion.
They also hate Islam but Islam is too based/lacking the self victimizing attitude.
Torah teaches that God needs people, that you are chosen needed wanted, its infinitely healthier than looking at yourself as sinner unworthy of anything.
(Even tho Jesus didnt teach that - he actually brought Torah to the masses and wanted everyone to think they are God but J boiz didnt like that ofc).
Basically what we are seeing is results of war of self images.
I went to Tokyo when I was 17 in the summer of 2009. My dad was fire-chief for the city and on a couple of government boards, including one for the 9-1-1 system. And so there was a international conference going to take place and my dad was invited to go.
I was in a real dump at the time, my high school boyfriend died the year previously. So my dad thought it would be good for me to go. I always wanted to go, being a geeky weeb growing up. So I got my passport ready, dad had to pay for my seat on the 12 hour flight, but the hotel had two beds anyway. Stayed at the Niwa Hotel near the Kanda river (along with some of the other Americans. Not the fanciest place, but you know, taxpayer funded trip in the middle of a recession, had to cut expenses. Still better than the Embassy Suites in Dallas.
There was a Japanese guy seeing to the American reps. Some brought their wives or a kid along, but I didn't really hangout with them. I was like Bill Murray in Lost in Translation moping around the room, I was kinda still a little too sad my boyfriend wasn't there with me. I went with my dad to the convention one day. Learned that you dialed 1-1-0 for police and 1-1-9 for for fire and ambulance, that was it. I did like their 7-11s over there. Way better then how the indians run them here. The coke float with vanilla ice cream was delicious.
Overall, I've done it. Maybe I would rather go to a more rural place, live out "My Neighbor Totoro" fantasies. Or check out the suicide forest, But I can do that here in America too, just go into any public park you'll be bound to find a few dead hobos. I just felt too much like an outsider in Tokyo. I felt like I was being stared at with their beady little slanted eyes, flat faces, and high cheekbones. I'm just too much of a Texan. They probably thought I had a gun on me. I don't like Asian food in general, the MSG causes rings on the back of my legs from sitting on the toilet too much.
Frick off woman, you’re 31? Why even be alive, hag? At least stick to Reddit or someshit if you want to complain about how men prefer cute Nip girls and your “Eurocentric beauty standards” didn’t get you anywhere in Japan
Theres almost no possibility Japanese would be interested to gawk at your normie whitey ass with their "beady little slanted eyes" nor would they attribute you as a Texan with a gun. Your half witted racially/politically charged judgements only work in America with Americans, and dont exist outside that sphere.
Holy shit. I’m also a Texan and no, nobody can tell unless you’re walking around in a cowboy hat. Even if you did you’d get chalked up to just someone in costume. And the whole “gun culture” thing isn’t something most Japs know about even if you do talk to them. Outside of America and English speaking countries maybe Texan culture isn’t this huge ice breaker you think it is. Sure, I’ve met a few chill dudes who would mimic guns with their fingers and play charades as a cowboy if I told them I was Texan, but most will ask you what country that is. You’re an American. Just say that. It’s a good state (being ruined by Californians) but the whole Lone Star ego is so annoying and I say that as someone born here. And the 7 Elevens? Have you been to Japan? All the 7 Elevens there are also staffed by Indians. Or Flips. And the “beady eyes” comment…lol. Just admit it, you hated being judged for being a hambeast in a country full of skinny, on average better-dressed people. You’re probably happy your boyfriend didn’t go with you despite what you say, because you know in the back of your mind he’s be doing double takes at all the JKs walking by
>I did like their 7-11s over there. Way better then how the indians run them here.
A lot has changed since then. Even in Japan, convenience stores have started to employ Indians.
Yes but they'll never own or run them. They're just another robot worker running off a few pre-programmed coroutines. Just a more feces-colored stand-in for a self-checkout.
You posted this here, belling your gender. Did you not know this was a site full of broken, self-loathing, manlet incels? These replies are so predictable.
because of pic related and cute girls wearing short skirts with pantyhose
the reality is, the Japan you go back to is never as good as the Japan you remember living in
t.lived there 2007-2014, tried going back in 2017 and everything had already gone to shit
according to friends who still live there now its even worse now after Covid and the Olympics.
>Also any tips for non native English seeking eng teaching jobs?
have a nice day and hope you reincarnate as an Aussie or American
not even joking
the only non-native English speakers they let in are Filipinos
i mean literally anyone can get a working holiday visa and do a 1 year ski season there
but if you want to stay longer you pretty much have to be Anglo and go there to teach English.

the only good parts left are the deep inaka (countryside), but if you go there you're guaranteed no night life and no chance at meeting women under 60 years old
This really weird gatekeeping by anons who only see their visit as peak Japan and somehow think it applies to everyone.
I think it comes with any place in the world that's amazing in the beginning and just turns to "meh" over time. You get used to things, the wow factor is gone.
Gatekeeping and projecting you experienced the 'real cool Japan' is just weird behavior here
There are white people that go out of their way not to acknowledge other foreigners, as if in their heads they think they are blending in.
The disappointment on their face when you walk into the same place they were eating and now suddenly the illusion of 'that place that they found' is shattered. I now go out of my way to loudly say hello in English and wave at them.
I was in town and swung by a party that was being thrown by a US magazine I've worked with in the past. The only other westerner there tried to get me turned away. It was really surreal and he looked pretty foolish when I was greeted by the PR person and later people from the US office turned up.
>There are white people that go out of their way not to acknowledge other foreigners
I'm just afraid you'll see me as a sort of "brother-in-arms" in this foreign country and try to make conversation with me, only for my crippling social anxiety to cause me to burst into treats right then and there.
This is pure headcannnon lol. As someone whose been living in Japan a few years, I personally like it when i see foreigners because it makes a difference compared to being surrounded by Japanese non stop. Half the time im too absorbed in what im doing(daily grind) but if one came up to me I’d probably appreciate it

I've only ever had this in Japan. Very strange.
Every white person living in Japan thinks they're better than all the other white people in Japan
Not only are the people being described bitter and crazy, they constantly roll through any Japan-related thread on here complaining about shit. I just can't comprehend how their brains work.
>t.lived there 2007-2014, tried going back in 2017 and everything had already gone to shit
How has it gone to shit? I'm curious since I've never actually been there.
like mentioned multiple times in these threads >pay for foreigners has gone down by about 1/3rd >time off for foreigners has gone down by over half >Filipinos are 80% of the English teaching industry now, if you're not part of their weird cult church then sorry, no career for you >chinese tourists >covid and olympics autism has since made shit worse (japanese zoomers have anxiety issues if they cant hide behind a mask, even mundane shit like you cant go to the bank or buy a phone at a phone shop without making a prior arranged booking) >drinking and smoking in public gradually being quashed >economy going to shit (but that's true everywhere)
i could go on but those are the main things
>>pay for foreigners has gone down by about 1/3rd >>time off for foreigners has gone down by over half
lmao at english teachers thinking all "foreigners" are as pathetic as them
For those of us who are not losers and are in high skilled fields in Japan, it's never been better. My only recommendation is working for a multinational with a Japan (read Tokyo) office.
Personally, the reason I want to go back so badly is because I have sleepless nights that the chef at my favourite restaurant will retire. He must be pushing 80 now, and I was worried all through covid that they wouldn't reopen. So now it's a race against the clock to return.
I never left, and when that happens you do the same boring shit in Japan that you were doing back home. I was so fricking excited there was no line at Costco today.
Wait, are they still all wearing masks? Or is that just inside? From what I've seen in recent photos or videos, outside looks almost normal (almost, still too masked compared to what it used to be, but it's something)
Because the smile of the local Family Mart girl was always a highlight of my travels, alongside the jingle. I have a mask fetish, mind you, but at some point it just doesn't do anything anymore when you see it everywhere, now all it reminds me of is my time in the hospital where I had to look up for my dying mother.
women who wear masks when walking alone, away from anyone else, outside, on a sunny day with excellent air quality are the ones who will make the most obedient wives.

Just as I was thinking "nah I'm good at home for now", a group of turk roaches comes by in a group of cars loudly beeping and shooting fireworks.
I like Japan for the simple fact of not living with any or minimal amount of brown people nearby.
I only go to Japan to eat good food for cheap. Frick as many 立ちんぼ as possible and visit brothels if I don't get lucky with 立ちんぼ . While going on hikes to view the nature only second best to California. Japanese work culture is a drag, their societal norms are a drag. However most of these things are the reason why they're still able to operate the way they are, but they are slowly falling to Western propaganda and soon will no longer be based.
I had one girl in Osaka I was her パパ活 for awhile, since I really enjoyed her. I am not anymore however, but if I find myself in Osaka I contact her and she doesn't say no. Otherwise I don't keep in contact with the girls after. I considered stopping, since the country opened. When the girls need money she'll lower her standards, and the last thing I need is to catch an STD/STI.
I have a few girls I have contact info for, specifically the ones I've gone raw and nakadashi'd. I just hit them up on Line when I'm in the mood. Going back to Tokyo in a day or so and plan to see the one I like in Tokyo.

I see the anime pro is here to seethe about based coomer bro.
Be Asian, speak Japanese, and know to placate their fears about it they have any. That's for 立ちんぼ girls on the street, and I'm not talking about the non-Japanese ones from SEA scamming you for money. I played with a third-year (18yo) high school girl the other day, although she was afraid to go raw, and I wasn't going to force or coerce her. Know the going rates and how to negotiate.
There are soaplands that are known for NN (nama nakadashi) and NS (nama sotodashi).

If that dude shaved his head, he could pass for a light-skinned homie.
because Japanese women are cool for a good time or short fling but you really don't want to wife one up or date them long term. they're neurotic, weird, and lack warmth.
>overweight >over 40 >youtube career going nowhere >no chance of getting a job back home
cuz he's stuck there
it happens to most foreigners who stay too long
one day they wake up and realize that its too late and they're stuck in a country that gets slightly worse every year but "it's fine guys we can still smash chuhais in the city park xD"
Whats good about UK now though? Im a brit in Japan and while i’d move home in a heartbeat if i brake up with wife, i know full well the UK is fricked and way harder for the same quality of life than here if you are standing on your own two feet.
Uk house prices and rents are mental. Pay is not much better. You’ll be paying £1200 a month to share a house with 4 brown people minimum, sharing kitchens and toilets with a 30-40 minute commute still.
In Tokyo, you can get a place to yourself, 35 min to central Tokyo for like £300 a month. Even if you live mega central like city of London equivalent, you’ll find something for £500-600 easily. The same in London will be £2400 for an even smaller apartment.
You can even find a two floor home with small garden about 40 mins out for like £550. People here dont get paid that much less either. Its a fricking joke how hard it is to progress at home in UK now.
>Whats good about back home though?
regardless of what country you're from, this is the main issue.
even if you have a good job to go back to, if you've spent 5 or 10 years in Japan its really hard to adjust going back.
living in Japan you get cut off from so much random bullshit, media, drama and shit that you really take it for granted until you eventually leave.
not sure i agree entirely. maybe i haven't been here long enough.
I went home for the first time in 3 years last autumn. the impression i had of the UK was so bad due to the only real information i was getting was news. It was so bleak. people starving, surviving off of pasta, cannot afford to boil a potato due to gas costs. everyone freezing to death and cannot afford food. even middle class going to foodbanks. it was insane.
When i got home? Literally nothing like that. things we a little more expensive. people were buying cheaper branded food. maybe spending a bit less on fun stuff. life was normal. people were cooking and keeping warm all the same. I adjusted fine and didnt really wanna go back to Japan by the end and felt like i wanted to stay for months longer.
He literally just did a video where he confessed to lying about how long he's lived there when meeting new japanese people because he's afraid they'll find out that he's not that good at Japanese.
Japan is how he makes his money and despite the fact that he doesn't want to stay there forever he probably doubts he can retain popularity somewhere else.
Somehow so bad with women that he's marrying a melting Canadian divorcee hag. I don't care what anyone says, its a 100% L and Sharla is settling for stability.
I actually am a self-admitted weeb, and I'm in no hurry to go back. Why is that?
I definitely like Japan and what it has to offer. But I'm more interested in other countries right now. Japan is nowhere near my "next countries to (re)visit" list.
tfw I've picked up at least a dozen jinbei/yukata to lounge around in at home during my trips to japan over the years and after a over decade of seeing this image posted I'm beginning to feel ashamed and see the resemblance
I liked living there because I could be detached from family. Family member dies? Not expected to show to the funeral. Parents wanted to face time? Maybe 3 times a year cause of time zones. Communication with friends back home consisted of them liking the odd calculated IG post. Talk about reinventing yourself
Older and less able to drink their cheap alcohol without getting gastric, married now so uninterested with playboy lifestyle. Would be able to land a middle-class job instead of working for 10万¥/月. I want to get the non-degenerate experience
please never end this thread anon. im considering moving from another asian country that sucks infinitely more but idk much japanese. I got a connection with a company that hires foreigners no Japanese needed in my industry.
I have the most fricked preferences, man. Of course I like skinny women, most straight men do. The only exception is when they're Asian.
I like skinny women as long as they're white, black, brown, etc. But I actually prefer Asian women to be fat. Why did god curse me with impossible preferences?
>But I actually prefer Asian women to be fat. Why did god curse me with impossible preferences?
You're a perfect fit for Manila, Philippines. Find a girl that overeats Jollibee, does customer support calls with boomers as labor, and doesn't exercise. Won't be hard at all and you can hit it raw on the 1st or 2nd date.
JBW isn’t as strong in Japan as it used to be but it’s still there. You get, at most, +1 to whatever you are in the states. It is easy to get laid as a decent looking white guy just because women will want to try you out as a novelty, Japs love novelty. But you can’t be some neckbears slug and expect to have qt nips throwing themselves at you.
did you not even read my post? that guy isn't getting laid in Japan. being white gives you a very slight, and i mean slight exotic edge you wouldn't have back home.
>Is the real reason that go there because it's one of the last few places on Earth for an authentic "fish out of water" experience
No. [...] put it very well >Easiest pussy from non fat women in the world,
while also being a developed country that you can work/have a career in.
are you guys moronic, Japan is one of the hardest Asian countries to get pussy in (unless you pay)

>youtuber I follow filming themselves in the middle of Tokyo >it's all ugly concrete buildings, all grey and drab >legit looks like the ugliest part of my hometown (except significantly cleaner and no arabs & blacks)
Sure that youtuber wasn't in the middle of Akihabara or whatever meme district tourists are usually herded to, but it seemed so depressing.
Is the real reason that go there because it's one of the last few places on Earth for an authentic "fish out of water" experience (with locals not speaking much English, not catering that much to Western norms, etc.) without actually putting yourself in the danger?
I ended up loving it so much that I moved here permanently. Sure, it's not for everyone, but it can certainly be a pleasant place to live.
apologies, I was mostly aiming that at the sex tourist posts and their expectation that they'll be able to access the same scene that native japanese men can
I live in Kyoto right now and have for about a year. I've lived all over the world and Japan stands out to me for three reasons: the women, the society (parts) and the scenery. The scenery can be very breathtaking but is disheveled by the humidity in the summer making it difficult to truly enough being in nature; the women are not sexy to me and my western sensibility that values waist to hip ratio over cuteness, but cuteness has a certain appeal and the Japanese do it best simple as; it is extremely quiet over here, very peaceful and consequently an ideal environment for studying as western propaganda and talking points are generally absent from discourse and every day life which is extremely cathartic.
Unless I am missing something, the Japanese aren't really a fun people. People from Osaka and to a lesser extent Tokyo are fun but the overwhelming majority of Japanese youth are too involved in job hunting and shit to have fun.
I'm pursuing a masters right now but am unsure as to whether or not I would like to continue in academia. If any fellow Japanbros have advice regarding employment, I'd love to hear it
>Japan is great. Wouldnt live there though. Its like a cool attraction you come back to every now and then.
where would you live? I'm deciding between northern thailand, japan, chengdu, and maybe a couple other spots.
>are these specific choices motivated by anything other than your coombrain
I train muay thai, ride motorcycles, surf and don't do any winter sports. I also dislike paying overpriced rent to boomers, even if I can afford it. Out of the list, I probably had the healthiest routine in Thailand.
Do I also like asian pussy? yes.
If I just wanted to coommax, I would move to Samar, Philippines and frick a new teen every week or even day or two.
thing with moving to Japan is you cant really choose where you want to live
you get the English teaching job and they send you to literally anywhere in the country, usually country bumfrick nowhere where you get hit on by 60 year olds and have to do all of your shopping online because you cant afford to have a car
If you have enough Japanese language skills to teach English in Japan, you would use buses and trains.
Smart people also use cheap buses in the countryside.
However, those who don't understand Japanese walk long distances.
>If you have enough Japanese language skills to teach English in Japan,
you literally need none, they'll hire anyone as long as they're Anglo or Filipino >busses and trains
yes, in most places, but once you're 20min off of the shinkansen line you may as well be in bumfrick nowhere, with 1 train/bus per hour.
if you're rural enough your company will force you to get your license and get a car, which eats into your shit pay as well

they have no reason to hire a foreigner over Mr Nakamura who'll do 3x the hours for half the pay.
your options are literally Teach English until you get married and maybe open your own bar, which ends you up at $8/hr and permanently hungover.
>they have no reason to hire a foreigner over Mr Nakamura who'll do 3x the hours for half the pay.
they really don't if you're an unskilled monkey who can be replaced by "Mr Nakamura"
plenty of foreigners get good jobs at both local and international companies in Japan. Japs are typically absolutely terrible at actual problem solving and anyone with some skills and experience is a more attractive candidate.
but it really does sound like teaching English to kindergarteners is the heigh of both your ambition and your abilities

What can you tell a guy about the IT field over there? Working a 10 month ITSM degree and 3 years of being the sole IT for the state hands-on tech for a major bank? Can I into the Japan scene or do I need to grind my stats more?
You can probably get in here. Keep grinding while applying and see if you get a hit by the 5 years exp mark.
My knowledge is more about software engineering. We have a guy that got hired on @ tokyo office with 3 years of gayMAN exp + 2 internships, so the gov't certainly approves 3yoe visas in software.
>they have no reason to hire a foreigner over Mr Nakamura who'll do 3x the hours for half the pay.
they really don't if you're an unskilled monkey who can be replaced by "Mr Nakamura"
plenty of foreigners get good jobs at both local and international companies in Japan. Japs are typically absolutely terrible at actual problem solving and anyone with some skills and experience is a more attractive candidate.
but it really does sound like teaching English to kindergarteners is the heigh of both your ambition and your abilities

I work for Indeed not Google btw. Google is for troons

Would you also think I'm LARPing if I said I hooked up with a Japanese girl within 1 week of landing here and not speaking Japanese? I'll at least admit it was beginner's luck

Somewhere like Estonia, Latvia or Serbia; they developed later so got all the new tech stuff + its more homogenous than most other white countries.
This. I've been to Tokyo to Hiroshima last month and never got bored. It was my first to see Japan on its full glory and everything felt like a fever dream. I still can't believe that I was there doing stuff I wanted to experience since forever, from weeb stuff to sightseeing. I want to see Hokkaido on my next visit.
Plan on going there in a few months. I hqve longish blonde hair and a scruffy, undeveloped red beard, and wear glasses. How weird will I look to Japanese people? Compared to me with a shaved face and shortish hair, how much will I be distrusted/looked at as gross/ghetto?
I have no idea what to expect lookswise
I’m going to Japan tomorrow, I’ve not bought the JR pass yet. If I buy it tonight will i be able to collect it when I arrive or is there some 3-5 day time delay or anything?
I went to Japan in march/April for a month and I loved it.
I never had so much success with women (when I first installed bumble in Osaka, I had 250+ matches in the span of a few hours and fricked a girl the same night), I had people calling me handsome,kakkoi or ikemen several times in the streets and bars (guys too which was weird).
The scenery, the calm and respect was so relaxing.
The only thing I was disappointed by was the food, I found everything to be overrated, especially wagyu , which is just like eating beef fat,
I'm just having a fricking field day looking at the wide-faced goblina next to you. >shitty white sneakers >pale relaxed high waist jeans that hide the fact that she has no ass despite being fat >cheap ass light colored cardigan >fricking FUJIFILM X100F jfl
So many latinas dress like this here in the States, it's so fricking basic.
Also why are you leaning in?

Coming to Japan in December and want to do something different. I've travelled there quiet extensively so far.
I haven't seen Hokkaido & Tohoku or anything up North yet, the North on face value seems to be a cold and uninspiring and less Japanese version of Kyushu basically though. So I can't seem to get myself excited to go up there.
With so much to do in Tokyo why would I spend some of that time in <Non descript Akita> vs just more time in Tokyo and do day trips from Tokyo if I am bored.
If people meet girls here are they suggusting local love hotels in Tokyo or taking them back to their rooms in Tokyo?
Basic Japanese, I met only women who were fluent in English or one of the languages I speak, and I used deepl when needed.
Not having a beard, and looking "fresh", helped me I guess, I'm 28 btw
step 1: have a short conversation to introduce yourselves
step 2: ask to meet up
if they refuse to make any plans then find another, if they do meet up well the rest is pretty easy
I just wish the USA had a city like Tokyo
No NYC isn't like Tokyo. If anything Toronto is the western city most similar to Tokyo IFL, but Toronto is so tiny comparatively and not nearly as crowded or fun at night
Hopefully they don’t drive as aggressively in Tokyo as they do in Toronto. Holy fricking shit are people from Toronto aggressive drivers, and they go ballistic when you have to blow by then because they’re driving too erratically
I had similar feelings and decided to move to Japan in early 2020. I have a reasonably good job, now I'm earning around 11M yen (which is not a lot at the current exchange rate but is an okay salary for Japan).
Japan is fun but what I didn't realize is just how isolating this experience would be. I lived in 7 different countries before, and even those where English isn't the main language were never as bad as Japan. Most of the people who speak English here are weird expats or gaijin hunters; 99% of normal people will not be able to have a conversation with you beyond "hello how are you". It is just depressing to be here, in such a lively metropolis, and be completely alone without being able to communicate with anyone.
I have been making efforts to learn Japanese and it's going okay, but after 3 years my level is nowhere near being able to comfortably make close friends and enjoy all aspects of the culture. I am not sure if I'll be able to devote more time of my life to this place as I don't actually know if I will enjoy it even if I do learn the language properly, it might all be a sisyphean task for all I know.
I know people like to respond "well duh what did you expect" to posts like this, but it genuinely is NOT like this in other countries. Japan is a unique mix of weird antisocial culture, people who are autistic by nature, a terrible education system that doesn't prepare you for anything, and a lack of interest in other cultures. It is just not fun, I don't know how else to express it exactly.
Sorry for the blogpost. Make sure you really know what you're getting into if you come here for long term. It's probably easier if you're a weeb (I'm not)

I've been testing out Japan (tokyo) for 1 month to get a sense of the life here. I don't think you'd be wrong to come to the conclusion that the average Japanese person just lives a very...mundane and uninspiring life.
I think I will be striking it off my short list of countries to expat too
If it were super worth it, I'd not hesistate to revive my Japanese studies and grind hard at it for 2 years, but I don't think it would really unlock
If you haven't made many roots or gotten a proper Japanese gf in 3 years, I'd really be thinking hard about the question you brought up: whether Japan is worth more investment of your limited time on Earth. Even if you do crack it, your monolingual japanese friends/girl will be non-functional outside of japan. they won't be adventuring without being dependent on you for everything
For me, my short list will now be Sichuan, china/northern thailand/bangkok/and maybe even Kuala Lumpur (malaysian chinese girls are fire).
I will conclude by saying that I do wish that there was a "Japan for white people" somewhere in the world
I'll keep Japan on my radar for if I ever need a low cost life reset, restoring an Akiya house in the countryside, but I'm only 30 years old and wouldn't be in such a position for at bare minimum 5 years
You convinced me that Japan would be a great place to live with this post anon, I'd love nothing more than a mundane easygoing life. I already feel fine with social obligations, I just would like a nice peaceful place to supplement my simple lifestyle desires.
For all the back and forth around it, I'd like to see an anon who's actually extensively dated or married a Japanese woman go into his experiences in the relationship in detail.
HARD MODE: no LARPing
I'm spending the next 5 nights in Tokyo and want to have sex with a Japanese girl. Any tips for picking up in Tokyo? Bars, nightlife areas, anything? I'm staying in a hostel bc I'm a dirty backpacker, but could splash out for a love motel if needed >25, handsome, good shape, blonde, can tell good stories, outgoing and fun >clothes are meh bc living out of a backpack, speak no Japanese, on a budget
Only a small percentage of Japanese women are going to understand your "good stories" in only English
If you have money, just drop 20k yen on a street girl and be done with it. I'll admit it's not worth it if you're a poorgay though
I like that the people are so square. Don’t need any deep relationships. My wife, brothers and parents are more than enough social interaction. Americans are always prodding deeper into your psyche looking for something to talk about, and don’t trust you for keeping your cards close. If you don’t disrespect everyone’s privacy with your presence you just get stepped on.
>Americans are always prodding deeper into your psyche looking for something to talk about, and don’t trust you for keeping your cards close. If you don’t disrespect everyone’s privacy with your presence you just get stepped on.
I would also add it's the same in China. But they don't share theirs after getting you to divulge your information.
I wanna go to japan and just freestyle it with a budget of 1.500€. I scouted a few noice places that don’t ask for a deposit and might just get a job as a forklift driver. How likely am i to just end up homeless or die trying to play rust irl spawning in japan?
my jap experience: >be me >travel to Japan >one week in Tokyo, it was shit. Kansai was cool. In medium sized city met current gf >great experience, she is lovey dovey and really cute. sleep 3 times but no sex, couldn't get hard and she is literally starfish in bed. >go back home and said frick it I'm going back for her birthday >very cute experience, traveled a bit together. Still no sex. She goes studying english in Flipland. >I visit Kyushu, it's great >go back home, LDR and planning her to visit me in my home country
I wanna seal the deal and for the future who knows.
my experience with this girl was a rollercoaster of emotions: sometimes she is so caring and loving, sometimes she barely texts me. in my experience jap girls are very cute and naive but cold for western standards.
I even thought about going to Japan to study and live with her but now I feel that I'm a bit too old for that and I don't want to sacrifice my life here for a girl who could leave me for the next guy.
as for Japan country is great but overrated, food is kino and traveling with the JR pass is awesome, big cities are soulless though.
I'm from southern California and my cousin went to Japan earlier this year with his friend
He's into that anime shit, I like it too but back in the late 2000s before normies took it over, he even has some anime tattoos on his right arms and regular tatts on hit other
He's Hispanic but idk if he has dreads now and is also short, he told me he ended up fricking some girl last time he went earlier this year and his friend was detained or arrested for a bit idk
He called me drunk at 2 am last Saturday telling me to go with him this year since I called him drunk from Puerto Vallarta like a week before just bullshiting
I've fricked asian girls here in Southern California so I guess my look is attractive to some, the ones I fricked were Vietnamese and Chinese, I don't think I've ever fricked a Japanese girl though, I'm Latino with skin tone like bad bunny
I might go to Japan with him for a week in October but idk yet, Im fine with fricking latinas here and in Mexico
hey nice, im planning a trip to japan in oct as well! itll be for two weeks and itll be my friends and I's first time. Right now we're all just stressing about learning Japanese lol
It's a larp. I met so many autistic larpers while living in japan. people who were made up obvious stories about how cool they were back home. had a guy tell me he hated anime and how he was such a buff bro. came back with a bag full of dbz gacha and demon slayer. majority of people going to japan are not getting any pussy unless they are getting the passed around gaijin hunter.
I went on a bus trip one time, and a Japanese guy sat next to me. He sat on the bus the whole way double up, with his head down, like he was sleeping. He also kept leaning on me, even after I shoved him several times. Eventually, I had to say stop leaning on me. He seemed to fall asleep again, and leaned on me again. I think he was on drugs.
Is it normal for sleepy people to lean on eachother on Japan on public transport?
had it happen a few times on the train.
For me its >Clean >Efficient >Great mix of culture and modern living >Food isnt processed amalgams of micro plastics >Everything is reasonable priced >Even if people dont like you they either ignore you or are at least polite >Transit system one of the best in the world >Never felt I was in danger, even when near black out drunk wandering around >Everyone is minding their own business and doing something. >Everyone is fricking beautiful and the fashion styles are easy on the eyes
Thats a couple of my reasons why I go every year. I just got back a couple weeks ago and waiting patiently for next years flights to start opening up.
>Everyone is fricking beautiful and the fashion styles are easy on the eyes
thing: meh
thing japan: DOOD
>had a guy tell me he hated anime and how he was such a buff bro. came back with a bag full of dbz gacha and demon slayer.
so he's a super DWEEB because he likes normie anime? sounds like a regular zoomer homosexual, no wonder he's your friend

Chuo line (goes all the way from Shinjuku to Takao/Ome/Hachioji) almost always guarantees that shit.
On the way out of Tokyo, it's people tired from their dog shit jobs. They can't afford to rent closer to downtown and have to stay in Hachioji instead.
If on the way in, then it's people tired from playing around.
I like hiking around Mitake during weekends due to how accessible it is. You're also allowed to set up a day camp and bbq shit around that river, swimming is also fine. To be honest I'm not sure if it's 100% allowed, it's just that I've seen so many people do it I've started doing it as well.
I probably spent like 4 weeks in Hachioji. The locals laughed at me when I said I stayed there all the time, but I enjoyed it. Never had a qt3.14 sleep on me on the train though.
Are beards tolerated in japan?
You can have them. The women aren't going to like them though. I was a beardcel for the 3 months I was there.

Unironically I weeb out about the japanese transit system alone
imagine being able to travel 1500km end to end of your country for 600 dollars and the trip time is half of what it would take to drive the same distance
My godforsaken western shithole cant even connect toronto with bedroom communities more than 100km away
I like the go-train its just not nearly enough for the needs of the GTA. When end of the line is only just now expanding to kitchener/oshawa/hamilton commuting without a car into toronto was impossible.
It just really comes down to the number of dysgenic-tier morons in positions of influence & power in this province. Picrel is a great example
I like going to Japan because I am popular there. People like taking pictures with me, same thing in Taiwan. They find my red beard and brown hair combo fascinating. It also helps the I'm handsome even by American standards but by no means a Giga Chad. Everyone is very friendly and I don't speak a lick of Japanese outside of the polite phrases.
>red beard
No, they’re making fun of you for being a ginger subhuman. It’s okay for girls to be gingers because that’s hot but ginger males are generic garbage and you look like shit. Next time instead of travelling to Japan why don’t you try and find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow in Ireland where you belong?
force yourself to go to at least two other countries to prove your japan supremacy is valid
you can reward yourself with another japan trip after each one
31 year old Britbong here. I visited Japan for the first time ever this April just passed and I fricking loved it. I visited Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara and Osaka. Did 7 days in Tokyo and 7 days around Osaka.
What I loved is: >the amazing public transportation >the amount of stuff to do in the cities >the cleanliness >the respectful Japanese people
When you compare this to the UK which has: >the worst public transportation in the world. some trains are once every hour if that >hardly anything to do in cities that doesn't involve just drinking and then going home >extremely dirty because Brits don't respect the country and throw trash on the floor and cigarette butts out their car windows >the worst kinda people that will randomly abuse you in the street (especially kids/teenagers from low income neighbourhood attacking you)
I kinda realised the UK is shitty in comparison to Japan. Although one thing I suppose I like here is that people are generally very friendly overall but extremely passive-aggressive. It's easy to have a chat with a stranger in the UK but if you honk at someone in in your car who cut you up, expect them to follow you and want to start a fight.
There is also nothing to do in the UK. No shrines or cool things to see. Only 3 mountains (Ben Nevis, Snowdon & Scafell) which I have all climbed. The cities are dead and disgusting, particularly the Northwest cities like Liverpool and Manchester. The women are all fat and act like men.
I'm already planning to go back to Japan in November. Frick me I hate the UK so much
I'm not a bongbro but I'm a frog just living across the Channel, and [let'sSaySpoilerWorks]while we have the superior vistas, mountains and shit[/spoiler] you can't tell me there's absolutely nothing in the UK. I enjoyed my time in Scotland, beautiful vistas and old stones, the overall atmosphere was great. I also liked the English countryside. Never went to Wales, but I intend to do so someday. I agree with the cities overall, but I don't like cities anyway, and your little countryside villages and towns were comf and roadtrip friendly.
The anglosphere (America, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand) is a hellish and tyrannically place to live. The governments are paranoid and tyrannically. They constantly spy on other countries and their own citizens. They have special organizations to ensure that you pay your tax or they jail you. You will unironically find more "freedom" in South America or Eastern Europe.
Don't forget Justin Trudeau enforced a "war time emergency act" against his own citizens AND froze their bank accounts for protesting against COVID vaccines.
Whats good about UK now though? Im a brit in Japan and while i’d move home in a heartbeat if i brake up with wife, i know full well the UK is fricked and way harder for the same quality of life than here if you are standing on your own two feet.
Uk house prices and rents are mental. Pay is not much better. You’ll be paying £1200 a month to share a house with 4 brown people minimum, sharing kitchens and toilets with a 30-40 minute commute still.
In Tokyo, you can get a place to yourself, 35 min to central Tokyo for like £300 a month. Even if you live mega central like city of London equivalent, you’ll find something for £500-600 easily. The same in London will be £2400 for an even smaller apartment.
You can even find a two floor home with small garden about 40 mins out for like £550. People here dont get paid that much less either. Its a fricking joke how hard it is to progress at home in UK now.
As these two point out, push factors are also a reason a lot of people choose to move to Japan. Especially for Brits.
Japan is flawed but I genuinely couldn't stand living in London.
If I ever got sick and tired of Japan I would try somewhere else but I will never return to the UK except to see family.
Coming up on the 10 year anniversary of my last time in Japan. Should I go back?
I was a 19 year old weeb last time and spent 3 months backpacking around somewhat autistically. Is it worth it for normies? I think I only had a good time last time because of my autistic levels of engagement with weeb culture and jap history.
Digital nomad in Mexico (winters) and Kazakhstan (summers) right now. Mostly interested in music, food, and meeting new people if I go back.
Name a country that hasn't gotten significantly worse in the last 20 years.
Bonus if it didn't just go from being a complete shithole to less of a shithole.
I don't know what he's asking either, but in a more surreal way. I assume you just think his question makes no sense. I, on the other hand, don't know how to answer his question because my sense of time is blurred, and it's hard for me to tell 2003 and 2023 apart (except for consumer technology and politics).
I probably have some sort of idea of the meaning behind the question, but technology and the internet are the biggest drivers of change these past twenty years, and it's stupid to think that the second largest city in Japan has somehow hasn't been touched in a way that would make it feel like Tokyo two decades ago. Globalization means the Osaka has had to adapt to tourism and all the things that come along with it, and I would argue that in some ways it's moved beyond/faster than Tokyo in some regards. Take a look at Tobita that is way more foreigner-friendly than any location in Tokyo when it comes to prostitution. The trains and subways and signage are in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and English to accommodate the swarms of tourists in the city. While each city has its certain stereotypes about personalities and atmosphere, the internet has blurred the spread of culture wether it be fashion and clothing, art, and music, not to mention usage of social media driving everything, which further erases the feel of regional differences.
Went to Japan bout 3 weeks ago.
Mostly went to find obscure mecha shit I wouldn't be able to find online / at a non-assrapey price and lil mundane stuff like a big ol' parfait or lil urban shrines.
I was a man on a frickin mission since I only had roughly about 4.5 days at the time.
So I guess I miss japan because I couldn't explore as much as I wanted.
That and I MISS DON QUIXOTE SO MUCH, A 24/7 DEPARTMENT STORE IS A FRICKING GODSEND
I'm going to travel solo for the first time to Japan. Could anyone here share with me tips/sites that can allow me to locate hotels for the cheap? It seems like every is costing at least 100 a night, which is really costing me a pretty penny.
Ive just booked hotels in osaka and tokyo. Public onsen and good looking jp breakfest in Osaka included, staying at aki in tokyo, 13 days in total, it costed me around 1100dol but I travel with my gf and we split.
Both of those are 3 star, i imagine that you can find something like 60dol/night for solo room/apartament if you pick less popular area outside the city center surrundings + pick lower standard.
Ive seen some hotels that are close to highspeed roads and train tracks offering very cheap deals, but you risk noise pollution, all of that can be found on bookingcom, just sort accordingly. Otherwise try airbnb, there are some subpar looking places but they seem cheaper than hotels. Also if you use booking pick hotels with genious status to recive up to 10-20% back.
Just to be sure it was 1100 total so after the split its like around 550dol per person.
I think that capsupes arent best option for solo travel, you can basicly get a room for similar price, albeit with worse standard, but who the frick prefers being stuck in the row of windowed bed chambers, i cant imagine going like this with >1week trips. Just now I browsed some airbnb and found some ok 1 room street lvl apartment for ~50dol, just book in advance, something like 5/4months prior works best.
I came back after 6 weeks of travelling solo. >They say if you can't get laid in your home country you can't be in a foreign.
I couldn't agree more, i couldn't agree more..
Two of many missed opportunities, i just CAN'T STOP DRINKING:
>bought 2 liters of beer from the convenience store at 10pm >go to a nearby park and drink for myself >went to a 'japanese' bar >i'm alone >30 mins later a group of 4 girls entered the bar >i had fun with them >two got really into me >gets too wasted and never actually make a move, i just wanted to drink more >leaves the bar alone >realized it that i fricked up again after i woke up and tell myself i won't drink that much anymore
>Be at another bar after chugging beers beforehand >get into contact with girls >get's too wasted again and don't make a move, i just wanted to drink more and more >leaves alone >realized it that i fricked up again after i woke up and tell myself i won't drink that much anymore
>I only had sex with one japanese and a chinese girl when i wasn't getting too wasted
I’ll stick to my soaps. Man japan the only fricking country where i’m like… yea… it really isn’t worth it to chase tail, even though it seems tail would like to chased (Gaijin hunter).
Any idea for a second time 2 week travel? Last time I did the classic trip tokyo osaka kyoto nara.
Looking to visit more rural japan.
Not interested in cooming i unfortunately already have a gf
You probably have much stuff still to see around kansai and western prefectures, just pick different fieldtrips but still treat osaka as a hub. Tokyo stay on the other hand can be shortened, if you saw it and dont have feelings for it, just do 2 days there.
how long would you recommend to stay in Japan ? one week ? two weeks ?
thinking about going next year in august
am 25 yr old germanon with to japanese skills
>haven't gotten to practice my Japanese in a while >in the tetons national park doing laundry >some Japanese couple is there >try striking up a conversation in Japanese >they just look at me and don't respond
Ree where are my jouzus
First thing I noticed, I am attracted to white women. If I go back to Japan, there are no white women unless I work on a base again, and they're all taken... unless...
Hafu girls have great asses, it seems like a rule. Only got to hook up with one. My jap gf was fricking crazy but will probably be the best "housewife" I've ever had.
I want to go back, and I just had an interview for a company there. I said something stupid like Japan WA daisuke tbh. I laughed about it afterwards. It went well... If I did go back I couldn't work for the govt again or teach english, it would be miserable.
You liked it because of the lack of Black folk and high trust.
I'm trying to plan a trip to Japan for next month. I want to arrive in Fukuoka, travel north by train, then depart from Tokyo. I'd like to make stops in between. I'll have about 2 weeks.
Have any anons made similar trips? What are some nice things you all have done outside the major cities?
Of course, I still find it really awkward when there's other people and much prefer private onsens (especially outdoor ones given how fricking boiling the water is)
Of course, I still find it really awkward when there's other people and much prefer private onsens (especially outdoor ones given how fricking boiling the water is)
eh i dont really care, i dont feel like old japanese men are lusting for me since im not a young woman
I meant more in the social context, I had the idea that onsens were for groups the same way ryokans are, you can't even book those for a single person.
I went to Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Hiroshima/Miyajima, Osaka/Kyoto/Nara, Tokyo/Hakone/Kamakura+Enoshima in 15 days last 2014.
Best parts for me were Nagasaki, Miyajima, Kamakura and Enoshima. I got unlucky during the Hakone day as it was foggy and didn't get to see Mt. Fuji.
For me its just that it feels uniquely foreign. While western societies culture and products have invaded it is still very much japanese.
I havent been to anyplace in the world that didnt just feel like America light.
Because you’re a pathetic weeb and you think “next time’s the time I’m gonna find a qt jap girl” who reminds you of some colorful kid in your Chinese cartoon. But she doesn’t exist and if she did she wouldn’t marry you.
I'm not a weeb thoughever and I fricked a jap girl while I was there, still feel like i need to go back. Would I be better off going to another country?
Fpbp
>you will never be Japanese
>you will never marry into citizenship
>OP is a gay
That's not what I mean...
Japan has fallen to westerners and it's anything what it should be like now. Japanese kneeled to the cuckmask and vax shit which seriously ruined many things. The amount of AMERICA in places like Akihabara, Shibuya, Central Tokyo, and even some other places like Kyoto are an embarrassment to walk past as a white tourist on holiday. Where did it go so wrong? Trump? The pandemic? What. People were constantly assuming simply by being white I was there to talk to them in English, yet I've studied all pandemic to be essentially fluent in Japanese to where subtitles in some of my favorite anime aren't needed on the second watch. It's emberrassing to be in so many places and hear "Hello, would you like a table to sit down?" rather than the native tongue.
All the good times you would want to have from those early 2000 anime or things you would often see on GTO, K-On, or /comfy/ memories of the japanese country side such as mushishi and NNB are dead. Everything is now made Japan a theme park to where the soul is gone from it. There isn't a "Japan" anymore it's a glorified holiday theme park.
You yourself are just another westerner who will ruin the country
>DID THAT JAPARINO JUST ADDRESS ME IN ENGLISH?? DOESN'T HE KNOW I STUDIED FLASH CARDS FOLDED OVER 9000 TIMES? THIS IS NOTHING LIKE MY HECKIN ANIME! JAPAN HAS FALLEN. BILLIONS MUST DIE.
fr fr
i mean he's kinda right, japan is super manufactured
>oh lets rebuild this castle for the tourists
>oh they need to get a nice picture of the castle, lets build a platform so everyone gets the same picture, make sure you line up for your picture!
>here is regional snacks of the area
I think Japan is better explored with a car anyways and visiting all the hiking/nature spots.
I hate weebs so much it's unreal
This is either one of the worst posts I've ever seen or exquisite bait.
>A country that has worn masks for decades just for a simple flu has sold out because they wear masks for corona
>Akihabara, one of the countries biggest tourist centres, is a tourist center
>They don't adress me, a western looking foreigner, in their language, but rather in mine
>The country's nothing like my 20 year old cartoons made me believe it would be
>Japan has fallen
You're why I love this place. 50% schizophrenics and 50% the dumbest fricker you could possibly find
chud: "Japan"
woah
I got to live the weeb anime fantasy of living in Japan in the early 2000’s and it brings me small comfort that none of you will ever experience it now.
>you will never cruise a Japanese highway at night in a late 90’s Nissan pickup w/ 5 on the tree smoking cigs and listening to Jap radio
>You will never get picked up by some random gaijin hunter at 4 am after a night of drinking and taken back to a love hotel
>You will never have Japanese workers bow and kiss your ass because your company is their client
>You will never experience the kino levels of social interaction that existed before the advent of smart phones
You can’t go back and you can’t take my memories from me.
>you can’t take my memories from me.
lmao imagine if you got amnesia from an injury or dementia from old age.

Maybe two of these things are actual "weeb anime fantasy"
Oh there was more than that man, I just couldn’t be assed to effort post that much. Early 2000s Japan was peak for being a white foreigner and you can’t convince me otherwise.
>you can’t convince me otherwise.
Wasn't trying to.
Prior decades have always been better for the white man, no doubt. Not just for Japan, but for many other facets in life.
sounds tight not gonna lie, what industry? I married a japanese girl before I even went the first time and missed out on going to Soapland with my japanese friend. really wish I coulda gone when usd to yen was 1-200+ and flip phones were still big
I'm genuinely happy for you. sounds like you had a great time
Are you happy now? Look what you did to this pepe.
The whole world has this happening to it. Remote work yuppies have shit the entire planet up.
You do realize you're the cancer you're complaining about, right?
>he amount of AMERICA in places like Akihabara, Shibuya, Central Tokyo, and even some other places like Kyoto are an embarrassment to walk past
Beyond the american is the amount of Chinese and filipino presence. okubo park is a bunch of foreigners domming Japs in basketball while their women surround the exterior of the park, waiting to accept a 150 USD creampie.
It's quite the scene.
Weebs deserve a lethal injection
>I've studied all pandemic to be essentially fluent in Japanese to where subtitles in some of my favorite anime aren't needed on the second watch. It's emberrassing to be in so many places and hear "Hello, would you like a table to sit down?" rather than the native tongue.
No way this isn't a troll. A person like this cannot exist. Really good bait though.
Whoops, shouldn't have lost the war I guess.
I'm a weeb and I still wouldn't bother with most japanese women because they're short and have zero hips, breasts or ass
haha yeah that would be awful why would you want a girl like that
>have jap gf
>has fat ahh
>going back to japan in 5 months
you dont know my pain
>and have zero hips, breasts or ass
you say that like its a bad thing but its literally why they're top tier
butts arent supposed to stick out
hips are shit
breasts grow bigger when you put kids in them
Butts need shape and perk
A butt that is flat is not appealing whatsoever
And good hips almost always equals a good butt too
Not every girl with good hips and ass is a obese Black person you know?
you clearly don't watch JAV.
The problem is you watch too much jav
Because you don't secretly want to frick little girls like these other dudes.
Funny thing is, I actually fricked a kuroneko kawai moe moe japanese girl. Didn't pay for it and it took me two solid dates. She was kinda ugly tho but I was committed mainly because I wanted to fulfill that stupid fantasy that many people have. She was into cosplay, met her at a HUB (the one in Akihabara). I was the one that approached her and it somehow worked out. I have probably approached near 40-50 girls during my stay + tinder and only that one worked out. I've been doing the same in several other countries and I gotta admit Japan was the hardest, specially because my Japanese sucks. I still wanna go back to Japan although I don't wanna try getting laid again, too much work for a mediocre girl with soft ass (in a bad way).
>fricked an ugly b***h
Ah, you’re such a low value male you lower your own standards yourself. That was not a flex. Not even the anon you’re replying to
>Spent a lot of time in Japan in my youth
>Had 5 different jap gfs
>Still ended up marrying a white girl from my own country
I fricked up, didn't I?
no you actually saved the white race
Why start right into the ad hominem? Your hate speech gives away your envy.
thought you wish you did yoursselves
That ship sailed when I realized I can only get hard to girls who actually touch me aggressively. Japs are so soft that they put me to sleep, which isn't a bad thing because they're the best girls for making you feel totally relaxed. But I'm kinda trying to coom and have wild sex. I'm becoming more of a chinkophile these days because they are active during sex, but I'm too scared to go to that shithole just for pussy.
Also too much porn has made me conditioned to believe women only have worth if they're thick, which the majority of Asians simply are not.
Get raped, homosexual.
>Because you’re a pathetic weeb
fpbp
>and you think “next time’s the time I’m gonna find a qt jap girl” who reminds you of some colorful kid in your Chinese cartoon. But she doesn’t exist and if she did she wouldn’t marry you.
Still valid but you're projecting pretty hard right here
Propaganda. Japan has some of the strongest soft power on the planet. America used to have it but it's severely diminished.
lets just say lack of abrahamic religion.
yeeus hate Christ so they organize to ruin countries where Christianity is dominant religion.
They also hate Islam but Islam is too based/lacking the self victimizing attitude.
Torah teaches that God needs people, that you are chosen needed wanted, its infinitely healthier than looking at yourself as sinner unworthy of anything.
(Even tho Jesus didnt teach that - he actually brought Torah to the masses and wanted everyone to think they are God but J boiz didnt like that ofc).
Basically what we are seeing is results of war of self images.
tl dr: just believe in yourself.
I went to Tokyo when I was 17 in the summer of 2009. My dad was fire-chief for the city and on a couple of government boards, including one for the 9-1-1 system. And so there was a international conference going to take place and my dad was invited to go.
I was in a real dump at the time, my high school boyfriend died the year previously. So my dad thought it would be good for me to go. I always wanted to go, being a geeky weeb growing up. So I got my passport ready, dad had to pay for my seat on the 12 hour flight, but the hotel had two beds anyway. Stayed at the Niwa Hotel near the Kanda river (along with some of the other Americans. Not the fanciest place, but you know, taxpayer funded trip in the middle of a recession, had to cut expenses. Still better than the Embassy Suites in Dallas.
There was a Japanese guy seeing to the American reps. Some brought their wives or a kid along, but I didn't really hangout with them. I was like Bill Murray in Lost in Translation moping around the room, I was kinda still a little too sad my boyfriend wasn't there with me. I went with my dad to the convention one day. Learned that you dialed 1-1-0 for police and 1-1-9 for for fire and ambulance, that was it. I did like their 7-11s over there. Way better then how the indians run them here. The coke float with vanilla ice cream was delicious.
Overall, I've done it. Maybe I would rather go to a more rural place, live out "My Neighbor Totoro" fantasies. Or check out the suicide forest, But I can do that here in America too, just go into any public park you'll be bound to find a few dead hobos. I just felt too much like an outsider in Tokyo. I felt like I was being stared at with their beady little slanted eyes, flat faces, and high cheekbones. I'm just too much of a Texan. They probably thought I had a gun on me. I don't like Asian food in general, the MSG causes rings on the back of my legs from sitting on the toilet too much.
Frick off woman, you’re 31? Why even be alive, hag? At least stick to Reddit or someshit if you want to complain about how men prefer cute Nip girls and your “Eurocentric beauty standards” didn’t get you anywhere in Japan
Theres almost no possibility Japanese would be interested to gawk at your normie whitey ass with their "beady little slanted eyes" nor would they attribute you as a Texan with a gun. Your half witted racially/politically charged judgements only work in America with Americans, and dont exist outside that sphere.
Holy shit. I’m also a Texan and no, nobody can tell unless you’re walking around in a cowboy hat. Even if you did you’d get chalked up to just someone in costume. And the whole “gun culture” thing isn’t something most Japs know about even if you do talk to them. Outside of America and English speaking countries maybe Texan culture isn’t this huge ice breaker you think it is. Sure, I’ve met a few chill dudes who would mimic guns with their fingers and play charades as a cowboy if I told them I was Texan, but most will ask you what country that is. You’re an American. Just say that. It’s a good state (being ruined by Californians) but the whole Lone Star ego is so annoying and I say that as someone born here. And the 7 Elevens? Have you been to Japan? All the 7 Elevens there are also staffed by Indians. Or Flips. And the “beady eyes” comment…lol. Just admit it, you hated being judged for being a hambeast in a country full of skinny, on average better-dressed people. You’re probably happy your boyfriend didn’t go with you despite what you say, because you know in the back of your mind he’s be doing double takes at all the JKs walking by
>I did like their 7-11s over there. Way better then how the indians run them here.
A lot has changed since then. Even in Japan, convenience stores have started to employ Indians.
Yes but they'll never own or run them. They're just another robot worker running off a few pre-programmed coroutines. Just a more feces-colored stand-in for a self-checkout.
You posted this here, belling your gender. Did you not know this was a site full of broken, self-loathing, manlet incels? These replies are so predictable.
To be honest, I'm pretty sure that's a gay dude. If it was a girl, I think she'd compare herself to Scarlett Johansson, not Bill Murray.
Finally someone gets it.
So you had a shitty attitude so you had a shitty trip. Wow, that's cool I guess?
I bet you're a fat dyke.
because of pic related and cute girls wearing short skirts with pantyhose
the reality is, the Japan you go back to is never as good as the Japan you remember living in
t.lived there 2007-2014, tried going back in 2017 and everything had already gone to shit
according to friends who still live there now its even worse now after Covid and the Olympics.
hahah how true is this image lol
I went twice this year. Long living gaijins tell me its becoming better now. Kinda returning to normal.
Also any tips for non native English seeking eng teaching jobs?
>Also any tips for non native English seeking eng teaching jobs?
have a nice day and hope you reincarnate as an Aussie or American
not even joking
the only non-native English speakers they let in are Filipinos
this is why I dont come to 4shit
I know a german, and a polish woman who barely speaks ENG who done it for their first "get visa and try to survive" job.
Its possible but I wonder if anyone has any other tips except gatekeeping your poor ex convict or no history or culture "heritage".
i mean literally anyone can get a working holiday visa and do a 1 year ski season there
but if you want to stay longer you pretty much have to be Anglo and go there to teach English.
>A butt that is flat is not appealing whatsoever
in japan a flat butt is a perfect butt
>chinese everywhere
>flips everywhere
>like seriously if your company hires foreigners like 80% of your coworkers will be religious-cult weirdo filipinos constantly trying to invite you to their church, if you dont go you dont get promotions or payrises sorry
>whitey isnt special anymore
>jap covid autism
>jobs pay 1/3rd less than they did 10 years ago
>jobs give 80% less time off than 10 years ago
>japanese govt is gradually making the most random fun shit about japan illegal, wouldnt be surprised if they ban public drinking in the next 10 years.
the only good parts left are the deep inaka (countryside), but if you go there you're guaranteed no night life and no chance at meeting women under 60 years old
what exactly is so much worse now
This really weird gatekeeping by anons who only see their visit as peak Japan and somehow think it applies to everyone.
I think it comes with any place in the world that's amazing in the beginning and just turns to "meh" over time. You get used to things, the wow factor is gone.
Gatekeeping and projecting you experienced the 'real cool Japan' is just weird behavior here
I even find this when I've been visiting Japan.
There are white people that go out of their way not to acknowledge other foreigners, as if in their heads they think they are blending in.
The disappointment on their face when you walk into the same place they were eating and now suddenly the illusion of 'that place that they found' is shattered. I now go out of my way to loudly say hello in English and wave at them.
I was in town and swung by a party that was being thrown by a US magazine I've worked with in the past. The only other westerner there tried to get me turned away. It was really surreal and he looked pretty foolish when I was greeted by the PR person and later people from the US office turned up.
I've only ever had this in Japan. Very strange.
>There are white people that go out of their way not to acknowledge other foreigners
I'm just afraid you'll see me as a sort of "brother-in-arms" in this foreign country and try to make conversation with me, only for my crippling social anxiety to cause me to burst into treats right then and there.
This is pure headcannnon lol. As someone whose been living in Japan a few years, I personally like it when i see foreigners because it makes a difference compared to being surrounded by Japanese non stop. Half the time im too absorbed in what im doing(daily grind) but if one came up to me I’d probably appreciate it
Always say hello to other whites crew, always ignore everyone else except cute girls.
Every white person living in Japan thinks they're better than all the other white people in Japan
Not only are the people being described bitter and crazy, they constantly roll through any Japan-related thread on here complaining about shit. I just can't comprehend how their brains work.
>t.lived there 2007-2014, tried going back in 2017 and everything had already gone to shit
Are you me?
>t.lived there 2007-2014, tried going back in 2017 and everything had already gone to shit
How has it gone to shit? I'm curious since I've never actually been there.
like mentioned multiple times in these threads
>pay for foreigners has gone down by about 1/3rd
>time off for foreigners has gone down by over half
>Filipinos are 80% of the English teaching industry now, if you're not part of their weird cult church then sorry, no career for you
>chinese tourists
>covid and olympics autism has since made shit worse (japanese zoomers have anxiety issues if they cant hide behind a mask, even mundane shit like you cant go to the bank or buy a phone at a phone shop without making a prior arranged booking)
>drinking and smoking in public gradually being quashed
>economy going to shit (but that's true everywhere)
i could go on but those are the main things
>>pay for foreigners has gone down by about 1/3rd
>>time off for foreigners has gone down by over half
lmao at english teachers thinking all "foreigners" are as pathetic as them
For those of us who are not losers and are in high skilled fields in Japan, it's never been better. My only recommendation is working for a multinational with a Japan (read Tokyo) office.
How do you guys go back, you must be like 40 some of you?
For me I have no career in my home country so it makes no difference if I have no career and no future in Japan
Personally, the reason I want to go back so badly is because I have sleepless nights that the chef at my favourite restaurant will retire. He must be pushing 80 now, and I was worried all through covid that they wouldn't reopen. So now it's a race against the clock to return.
Fat slob
I never left, and when that happens you do the same boring shit in Japan that you were doing back home. I was so fricking excited there was no line at Costco today.
Wait, are they still all wearing masks? Or is that just inside? From what I've seen in recent photos or videos, outside looks almost normal (almost, still too masked compared to what it used to be, but it's something)
why does it matter, freedom fighter?
Because the smile of the local Family Mart girl was always a highlight of my travels, alongside the jingle. I have a mask fetish, mind you, but at some point it just doesn't do anything anymore when you see it everywhere, now all it reminds me of is my time in the hospital where I had to look up for my dying mother.
aww :3
women who wear masks when walking alone, away from anyone else, outside, on a sunny day with excellent air quality are the ones who will make the most obedient wives.
>women who wear masks when walking alone, away from anyone else, outside, on a sunny day with excellent air quality are the ones who will make the most obedient wives.
Based
>There are Costcos in Japan
The more you know I guess.
Because Japanese girls are superior and unmatched.
Just as I was thinking "nah I'm good at home for now", a group of turk roaches comes by in a group of cars loudly beeping and shooting fireworks.
I like Japan for the simple fact of not living with any or minimal amount of brown people nearby.
I only go to Japan to eat good food for cheap. Frick as many 立ちんぼ as possible and visit brothels if I don't get lucky with 立ちんぼ . While going on hikes to view the nature only second best to California. Japanese work culture is a drag, their societal norms are a drag. However most of these things are the reason why they're still able to operate the way they are, but they are slowly falling to Western propaganda and soon will no longer be based.
>someone other than me fricking 立ちんぼ
Hope this isn't a larp. Any favorite girls in Tokyo or Osaka?
I had one girl in Osaka I was her パパ活 for awhile, since I really enjoyed her. I am not anymore however, but if I find myself in Osaka I contact her and she doesn't say no. Otherwise I don't keep in contact with the girls after. I considered stopping, since the country opened. When the girls need money she'll lower her standards, and the last thing I need is to catch an STD/STI.
I have a few girls I have contact info for, specifically the ones I've gone raw and nakadashi'd. I just hit them up on Line when I'm in the mood. Going back to Tokyo in a day or so and plan to see the one I like in Tokyo.
You rawdog streetwalkers? Eww dude
dude, you should see his blogging in japan general, for some reason he seems very proud about his cooming adventures and feels the need to report every single cooming event.
I see the anime pro is here to seethe about based coomer bro.
This is the one in Tokyo. I'm going to pump her full tomorrow.
?t=306
I can fix her
You can go after me.
>I've gone raw and nakadashi'd
how does a gaijin accomplish this?
asking for a fren
Be Asian, speak Japanese, and know to placate their fears about it they have any. That's for 立ちんぼ girls on the street, and I'm not talking about the non-Japanese ones from SEA scamming you for money. I played with a third-year (18yo) high school girl the other day, although she was afraid to go raw, and I wasn't going to force or coerce her. Know the going rates and how to negotiate.
There are soaplands that are known for NN (nama nakadashi) and NS (nama sotodashi).

>Be Asian
If that dude shaved his head, he could pass for a light-skinned homie.
>r/incelselfies
>not "incelfies"
Missed opportunity.
dude is actually inbred
Why does this guy continue to live in Japan if he’s not going smash Japanese women?
because Japanese women are cool for a good time or short fling but you really don't want to wife one up or date them long term. they're neurotic, weird, and lack warmth.
The one I dated was and everything she does made no sense
>overweight
>over 40
>youtube career going nowhere
>no chance of getting a job back home
cuz he's stuck there
it happens to most foreigners who stay too long
one day they wake up and realize that its too late and they're stuck in a country that gets slightly worse every year but "it's fine guys we can still smash chuhais in the city park xD"
>and they're stuck in a country that gets slightly worse every year
name seven countries that aren't getting AT LEAST slightly worse every year
Japan
Whats good about UK now though? Im a brit in Japan and while i’d move home in a heartbeat if i brake up with wife, i know full well the UK is fricked and way harder for the same quality of life than here if you are standing on your own two feet.
Uk house prices and rents are mental. Pay is not much better. You’ll be paying £1200 a month to share a house with 4 brown people minimum, sharing kitchens and toilets with a 30-40 minute commute still.
In Tokyo, you can get a place to yourself, 35 min to central Tokyo for like £300 a month. Even if you live mega central like city of London equivalent, you’ll find something for £500-600 easily. The same in London will be £2400 for an even smaller apartment.
You can even find a two floor home with small garden about 40 mins out for like £550. People here dont get paid that much less either. Its a fricking joke how hard it is to progress at home in UK now.
>Whats good about back home though?
regardless of what country you're from, this is the main issue.
even if you have a good job to go back to, if you've spent 5 or 10 years in Japan its really hard to adjust going back.
living in Japan you get cut off from so much random bullshit, media, drama and shit that you really take it for granted until you eventually leave.
not sure i agree entirely. maybe i haven't been here long enough.
I went home for the first time in 3 years last autumn. the impression i had of the UK was so bad due to the only real information i was getting was news. It was so bleak. people starving, surviving off of pasta, cannot afford to boil a potato due to gas costs. everyone freezing to death and cannot afford food. even middle class going to foodbanks. it was insane.
When i got home? Literally nothing like that. things we a little more expensive. people were buying cheaper branded food. maybe spending a bit less on fun stuff. life was normal. people were cooking and keeping warm all the same. I adjusted fine and didnt really wanna go back to Japan by the end and felt like i wanted to stay for months longer.
He literally just did a video where he confessed to lying about how long he's lived there when meeting new japanese people because he's afraid they'll find out that he's not that good at Japanese.
Japan is how he makes his money and despite the fact that he doesn't want to stay there forever he probably doubts he can retain popularity somewhere else.
Somehow so bad with women that he's marrying a melting Canadian divorcee hag. I don't care what anyone says, its a 100% L and Sharla is settling for stability.
because his youtube career is over if he leaves japan. because he's just a british dude living in a white country at this point.
He likes white women despite living in Japan, a novel concept for the nip women obsessed people here, I know.
It’s because living in Japan as a foreigner is like staying at the beautiful home of a really accommodating friend.
I actually am a self-admitted weeb, and I'm in no hurry to go back. Why is that?
I definitely like Japan and what it has to offer. But I'm more interested in other countries right now. Japan is nowhere near my "next countries to (re)visit" list.
>why do I want to go back so badly
tfw I've picked up at least a dozen jinbei/yukata to lounge around in at home during my trips to japan over the years and after a over decade of seeing this image posted I'm beginning to feel ashamed and see the resemblance
No Black folk
Uh anon, there's already way too many in Tokyo and near US bases. Plus the 500,000 Japan agreed to take in from Kenya.
Plus there's a shitton of BBC on Japanese porn. I wish there was more porn with Thai girls and bbc it's so hard to find..
I liked living there because I could be detached from family. Family member dies? Not expected to show to the funeral. Parents wanted to face time? Maybe 3 times a year cause of time zones. Communication with friends back home consisted of them liking the odd calculated IG post. Talk about reinventing yourself
Older and less able to drink their cheap alcohol without getting gastric, married now so uninterested with playboy lifestyle. Would be able to land a middle-class job instead of working for 10万¥/月. I want to get the non-degenerate experience
would you rent a fat friend?
please never end this thread anon. im considering moving from another asian country that sucks infinitely more but idk much japanese. I got a connection with a company that hires foreigners no Japanese needed in my industry.
Easiest pussy from non fat women in the world
I have the most fricked preferences, man. Of course I like skinny women, most straight men do. The only exception is when they're Asian.
I like skinny women as long as they're white, black, brown, etc. But I actually prefer Asian women to be fat. Why did god curse me with impossible preferences?
>But I actually prefer Asian women to be fat. Why did god curse me with impossible preferences?
You're a perfect fit for Manila, Philippines. Find a girl that overeats Jollibee, does customer support calls with boomers as labor, and doesn't exercise. Won't be hard at all and you can hit it raw on the 1st or 2nd date.
Great bait. Some JBWcel with see this and believe it even though it’s not 2002 anymore
JBW isn’t as strong in Japan as it used to be but it’s still there. You get, at most, +1 to whatever you are in the states. It is easy to get laid as a decent looking white guy just because women will want to try you out as a novelty, Japs love novelty. But you can’t be some neckbears slug and expect to have qt nips throwing themselves at you.
>just be white brooo!!!!!
did you not even read my post? that guy isn't getting laid in Japan. being white gives you a very slight, and i mean slight exotic edge you wouldn't have back home.
>Nihon girls love my exotic edge.
If that dude actually got with a Japanese chick, their kid would look like this.
Mom's bijin genes working overtime.
imao what an abomination
I basically look like that, and it worked for me.
are you guys moronic, Japan is one of the hardest Asian countries to get pussy in (unless you pay)
choose literally any developed Asian country and it's guaranteed to be 5x easier at least
>youtuber I follow filming themselves in the middle of Tokyo
>it's all ugly concrete buildings, all grey and drab
>legit looks like the ugliest part of my hometown (except significantly cleaner and no arabs & blacks)
Sure that youtuber wasn't in the middle of Akihabara or whatever meme district tourists are usually herded to, but it seemed so depressing.
Is the real reason that go there because it's one of the last few places on Earth for an authentic "fish out of water" experience (with locals not speaking much English, not catering that much to Western norms, etc.) without actually putting yourself in the danger?
>Is the real reason that go there because it's one of the last few places on Earth for an authentic "fish out of water" experience
No.
put it very well
>Easiest pussy from non fat women in the world,
while also being a developed country that you can work/have a career in.
there are concrete buildings in the middle of the city? it's over... Japsisters how will we recover
quietly crying into my pillow after finding out every random street in tokyo doesn;'t look like this
Europe is a wasteland and is no longer a place to enjoy.
It's escapism
do they have tight pussy or does it feel used up
Really depends on individual girl. The highschooler a couple of days ago was pretty tight, but she's also under 145cm.
Sure are a lot of fantasists ITT
I would love to make a documentary following you on your journey to Japan and the crushing reality vs your expectations.
for me it was even better than i thought but im not a weeb thoughever
apologies, I was mostly aiming that at the sex tourist posts and their expectation that they'll be able to access the same scene that native japanese men can
I ended up loving it so much that I moved here permanently. Sure, it's not for everyone, but it can certainly be a pleasant place to live.
I live in Kyoto right now and have for about a year. I've lived all over the world and Japan stands out to me for three reasons: the women, the society (parts) and the scenery. The scenery can be very breathtaking but is disheveled by the humidity in the summer making it difficult to truly enough being in nature; the women are not sexy to me and my western sensibility that values waist to hip ratio over cuteness, but cuteness has a certain appeal and the Japanese do it best simple as; it is extremely quiet over here, very peaceful and consequently an ideal environment for studying as western propaganda and talking points are generally absent from discourse and every day life which is extremely cathartic.
Unless I am missing something, the Japanese aren't really a fun people. People from Osaka and to a lesser extent Tokyo are fun but the overwhelming majority of Japanese youth are too involved in job hunting and shit to have fun.
I'm pursuing a masters right now but am unsure as to whether or not I would like to continue in academia. If any fellow Japanbros have advice regarding employment, I'd love to hear it
>the scenery can be disheveled by
That's not how English works. Try to avoid using words that are too big for your mouth.
I love japan. Not even a weeb or a coomer. I just enjoy the atmosphere, the sightseeing, the cleanliness, the convenience, the food, the gardens.
Japan is great. Wouldnt live there though. Its like a cool attraction you come back to every now and then.
>Japan is great. Wouldnt live there though. Its like a cool attraction you come back to every now and then.
where would you live? I'm deciding between northern thailand, japan, chengdu, and maybe a couple other spots.
are these specific choices motivated by anything other than your coombrain
>are these specific choices motivated by anything other than your coombrain
I train muay thai, ride motorcycles, surf and don't do any winter sports. I also dislike paying overpriced rent to boomers, even if I can afford it. Out of the list, I probably had the healthiest routine in Thailand.
Do I also like asian pussy? yes.
If I just wanted to coommax, I would move to Samar, Philippines and frick a new teen every week or even day or two.
thing with moving to Japan is you cant really choose where you want to live
you get the English teaching job and they send you to literally anywhere in the country, usually country bumfrick nowhere where you get hit on by 60 year olds and have to do all of your shopping online because you cant afford to have a car
If you have enough Japanese language skills to teach English in Japan, you would use buses and trains.
Smart people also use cheap buses in the countryside.
However, those who don't understand Japanese walk long distances.
>If you have enough Japanese language skills to teach English in Japan,
you literally need none, they'll hire anyone as long as they're Anglo or Filipino
>busses and trains
yes, in most places, but once you're 20min off of the shinkansen line you may as well be in bumfrick nowhere, with 1 train/bus per hour.
if you're rural enough your company will force you to get your license and get a car, which eats into your shit pay as well
>lmao just get a STEM job in Japan xD
they have no reason to hire a foreigner over Mr Nakamura who'll do 3x the hours for half the pay.
your options are literally Teach English until you get married and maybe open your own bar, which ends you up at $8/hr and permanently hungover.
>they have no reason to hire a foreigner over Mr Nakamura who'll do 3x the hours for half the pay.
they really don't if you're an unskilled monkey who can be replaced by "Mr Nakamura"
plenty of foreigners get good jobs at both local and international companies in Japan. Japs are typically absolutely terrible at actual problem solving and anyone with some skills and experience is a more attractive candidate.
but it really does sound like teaching English to kindergarteners is the heigh of both your ambition and your abilities
>thing with moving to Japan is you cant really choose where you want to live
>you get the English teaching job and they send you to literally anywhere in the country
I work at one of the top 3 int'l tech companies in Japan, have a top 10 USA university background and a decade of exp.
I wouldn't be subjecting myself to random placement by JET or similar lol
that's for no-skills gays, although I do understand it for people that put all their study points into nihongo. I put mine into engineering and now just learn nihongo for free while dating young japanese women.
What can you tell a guy about the IT field over there? Working a 10 month ITSM degree and 3 years of being the sole IT for the state hands-on tech for a major bank? Can I into the Japan scene or do I need to grind my stats more?
You can probably get in here. Keep grinding while applying and see if you get a hit by the 5 years exp mark.
My knowledge is more about software engineering. We have a guy that got hired on @ tokyo office with 3 years of gayMAN exp + 2 internships, so the gov't certainly approves 3yoe visas in software.
>10 month TISM degree
sasuga
>le i werk for teh google in japan xD
i wish nu-trv would frick off with the larp
a lot of people larp that they work in IT in Tokyo. It's weird.
>I'm a complete and utter failure, therefore EVERYONE ELSE must also be a failure!
damn Sherlock, I'm in awe
>>le i werk for teh google in japan xD

Once again SighSee thinks I'm LARPing
I work for Indeed not Google btw. Google is for troons
250k TC.
Would you also think I'm LARPing if I said I hooked up with a Japanese girl within 1 week of landing here and not speaking Japanese? I'll at least admit it was beginner's luck
> I will conclude by saying that I do wish that there was a "Japan for white people" somewhere in the world
Which countries do you think qualify something like that? Even partially?
>Which countries do you think qualify something like that? Even partially?
Somewhere like Estonia, Latvia or Serbia; they developed later so got all the new tech stuff + its more homogenous than most other white countries.
This. I've been to Tokyo to Hiroshima last month and never got bored. It was my first to see Japan on its full glory and everything felt like a fever dream. I still can't believe that I was there doing stuff I wanted to experience since forever, from weeb stuff to sightseeing. I want to see Hokkaido on my next visit.
I guess this is the Jap general thread now.
Plan on going there in a few months. I hqve longish blonde hair and a scruffy, undeveloped red beard, and wear glasses. How weird will I look to Japanese people? Compared to me with a shaved face and shortish hair, how much will I be distrusted/looked at as gross/ghetto?
I have no idea what to expect lookswise
As a foreigner they will tolerate you for your tourist dollars, otherwise they are not gonna wast time considering your existence
You sound ugly and like a neck eats but at least not ghetto. You won’t be treated like a JBW King but still significantly better than a nog
I’m going to Japan tomorrow, I’ve not bought the JR pass yet. If I buy it tonight will i be able to collect it when I arrive or is there some 3-5 day time delay or anything?
>JR pass advice please
no obviously that won't work, moron
You can just buy it at the airport train station
I went to Japan in march/April for a month and I loved it.
I never had so much success with women (when I first installed bumble in Osaka, I had 250+ matches in the span of a few hours and fricked a girl the same night), I had people calling me handsome,kakkoi or ikemen several times in the streets and bars (guys too which was weird).
The scenery, the calm and respect was so relaxing.
The only thing I was disappointed by was the food, I found everything to be overrated, especially wagyu , which is just like eating beef fat,
real
keep larping, neet
Not larping, pic rel on the left is me
I'm just having a fricking field day looking at the wide-faced goblina next to you.
>shitty white sneakers
>pale relaxed high waist jeans that hide the fact that she has no ass despite being fat
>cheap ass light colored cardigan
>fricking FUJIFILM X100F jfl
So many latinas dress like this here in the States, it's so fricking basic.
Also why are you leaning in?
She's East Asian from Australia, not latina, and not fat either
>timelessly iconic frumpy jap girl outfit
>THIS AN ATROCIDAD LIKE ME
Why are Americans like this?
green line test haha fricking love it
Those are Koreans, not Japanese.
Better dressed than most 4chinners.
Coming to Japan in December and want to do something different. I've travelled there quiet extensively so far.
I haven't seen Hokkaido & Tohoku or anything up North yet, the North on face value seems to be a cold and uninspiring and less Japanese version of Kyushu basically though. So I can't seem to get myself excited to go up there.
With so much to do in Tokyo why would I spend some of that time in <Non descript Akita> vs just more time in Tokyo and do day trips from Tokyo if I am bored.
If people meet girls here are they suggusting local love hotels in Tokyo or taking them back to their rooms in Tokyo?
Kek, I'm not as successful in Europe as I am in Japan but I'm not unsuccessful either
>JOOZU!
I know what it means and how it's pronounced, but I can't help but read it as "JEWS!"
>an entire comic series was made about JBW and people don’t think it exists
any tips on hooking up? i got a lot of matches on bumble, but most probably just want someone to practise english
I literally always asked to meet up in the few first texts, and never replied to people who wanted to use me as their personal English teacher.
how fluent are you?
Basic Japanese, I met only women who were fluent in English or one of the languages I speak, and I used deepl when needed.
Not having a beard, and looking "fresh", helped me I guess, I'm 28 btw
Is Deepl better than Google translate?
step 1: have a short conversation to introduce yourselves
step 2: ask to meet up
if they refuse to make any plans then find another, if they do meet up well the rest is pretty easy
what the frick that sounds awesome
i hate canada so much
running out of time to visit japan
each year it becomes worse and more invested with filthy tourists and brown people
>tfw even in Japan nobody likes me
did you do a homestay for a month op. feel like i know you.
Man I wanna go back but it's been so long my Jap friends barely even talk to me anymore. Shame since one of them glowed tf up and looks like an idol.
I lived in Japan for a year before covid happened. i think about japan every day, but i dont miss the absolutely dog shit english teaching job i had.
I just wish the USA had a city like Tokyo
No NYC isn't like Tokyo. If anything Toronto is the western city most similar to Tokyo IFL, but Toronto is so tiny comparatively and not nearly as crowded or fun at night
NYC is like Tokyo. You just need to get rid of the Black folk.
Toronto is a slightly better NYC but still has massive negatives like shitload of homeless people in it. You don’t see that kind of bullshit in Tokyo
Hopefully they don’t drive as aggressively in Tokyo as they do in Toronto. Holy fricking shit are people from Toronto aggressive drivers, and they go ballistic when you have to blow by then because they’re driving too erratically
goddamnit i'm going down the tachinbo rabbithole
but they don't go for gaijin, right?
I had similar feelings and decided to move to Japan in early 2020. I have a reasonably good job, now I'm earning around 11M yen (which is not a lot at the current exchange rate but is an okay salary for Japan).
Japan is fun but what I didn't realize is just how isolating this experience would be. I lived in 7 different countries before, and even those where English isn't the main language were never as bad as Japan. Most of the people who speak English here are weird expats or gaijin hunters; 99% of normal people will not be able to have a conversation with you beyond "hello how are you". It is just depressing to be here, in such a lively metropolis, and be completely alone without being able to communicate with anyone.
I have been making efforts to learn Japanese and it's going okay, but after 3 years my level is nowhere near being able to comfortably make close friends and enjoy all aspects of the culture. I am not sure if I'll be able to devote more time of my life to this place as I don't actually know if I will enjoy it even if I do learn the language properly, it might all be a sisyphean task for all I know.
I know people like to respond "well duh what did you expect" to posts like this, but it genuinely is NOT like this in other countries. Japan is a unique mix of weird antisocial culture, people who are autistic by nature, a terrible education system that doesn't prepare you for anything, and a lack of interest in other cultures. It is just not fun, I don't know how else to express it exactly.
Sorry for the blogpost. Make sure you really know what you're getting into if you come here for long term. It's probably easier if you're a weeb (I'm not)
>I know people like to respond "well duh what did you expect" to posts like this, but it genuinely is NOT like this in other countries.

I've been testing out Japan (tokyo) for 1 month to get a sense of the life here. I don't think you'd be wrong to come to the conclusion that the average Japanese person just lives a very...mundane and uninspiring life.
I think I will be striking it off my short list of countries to expat too
If it were super worth it, I'd not hesistate to revive my Japanese studies and grind hard at it for 2 years, but I don't think it would really unlock
If you haven't made many roots or gotten a proper Japanese gf in 3 years, I'd really be thinking hard about the question you brought up: whether Japan is worth more investment of your limited time on Earth. Even if you do crack it, your monolingual japanese friends/girl will be non-functional outside of japan. they won't be adventuring without being dependent on you for everything
For me, my short list will now be Sichuan, china/northern thailand/bangkok/and maybe even Kuala Lumpur (malaysian chinese girls are fire).
I will conclude by saying that I do wish that there was a "Japan for white people" somewhere in the world
I'll keep Japan on my radar for if I ever need a low cost life reset, restoring an Akiya house in the countryside, but I'm only 30 years old and wouldn't be in such a position for at bare minimum 5 years
You convinced me that Japan would be a great place to live with this post anon, I'd love nothing more than a mundane easygoing life. I already feel fine with social obligations, I just would like a nice peaceful place to supplement my simple lifestyle desires.
France is "Japan for white people".
White people are 15% of the under 15 population.
France is a future rwanda genocide.
That's good though, I have no interest in interacting with other people. Here homosexuals won't leave you alone for 5 minutes.
For all the back and forth around it, I'd like to see an anon who's actually extensively dated or married a Japanese woman go into his experiences in the relationship in detail.
HARD MODE: no LARPing
I'm spending the next 5 nights in Tokyo and want to have sex with a Japanese girl. Any tips for picking up in Tokyo? Bars, nightlife areas, anything? I'm staying in a hostel bc I'm a dirty backpacker, but could splash out for a love motel if needed
>25, handsome, good shape, blonde, can tell good stories, outgoing and fun
>clothes are meh bc living out of a backpack, speak no Japanese, on a budget
handsome white guy? just walk outside and all the Nihon girls will swarm you
Only a small percentage of Japanese women are going to understand your "good stories" in only English
If you have money, just drop 20k yen on a street girl and be done with it. I'll admit it's not worth it if you're a poorgay though
I like that the people are so square. Don’t need any deep relationships. My wife, brothers and parents are more than enough social interaction. Americans are always prodding deeper into your psyche looking for something to talk about, and don’t trust you for keeping your cards close. If you don’t disrespect everyone’s privacy with your presence you just get stepped on.
Unironically got me re-evaluating my interpersonal relationships, anon
>Americans are always prodding deeper into your psyche looking for something to talk about, and don’t trust you for keeping your cards close. If you don’t disrespect everyone’s privacy with your presence you just get stepped on.
I would also add it's the same in China. But they don't share theirs after getting you to divulge your information.
I wanna go to japan and just freestyle it with a budget of 1.500€. I scouted a few noice places that don’t ask for a deposit and might just get a job as a forklift driver. How likely am i to just end up homeless or die trying to play rust irl spawning in japan?
moron
I'm a scribe, nice.
my jap experience:
>be me
>travel to Japan
>one week in Tokyo, it was shit. Kansai was cool. In medium sized city met current gf
>great experience, she is lovey dovey and really cute. sleep 3 times but no sex, couldn't get hard and she is literally starfish in bed.
>go back home and said frick it I'm going back for her birthday
>very cute experience, traveled a bit together. Still no sex. She goes studying english in Flipland.
>I visit Kyushu, it's great
>go back home, LDR and planning her to visit me in my home country
I wanna seal the deal and for the future who knows.
my experience with this girl was a rollercoaster of emotions: sometimes she is so caring and loving, sometimes she barely texts me. in my experience jap girls are very cute and naive but cold for western standards.
I even thought about going to Japan to study and live with her but now I feel that I'm a bit too old for that and I don't want to sacrifice my life here for a girl who could leave me for the next guy.
as for Japan country is great but overrated, food is kino and traveling with the JR pass is awesome, big cities are soulless though.
hello cobbas
planning to go to japan in july, mega casual and know frick all about the country so here are my questions.
1- i would like to watch some soccer pre season firendlys (paris/manchester city) how do you buy a ticket over there? is there a ticketmaster site
2- is there anything worth seeing monument wise? eg. mt fuji/temples/tokyo tower/shjinkuku?
3- is it true the western girls get no action so its easier to hook up with them in japan as the guys all go for japs?
4-how hot is the weather in july? is it singapore heat?
5-does japan have any beaches and shit
6- where do you stay if u wanna be close to the action ie. where are the hiltons/holiday inns/marriots
7-where do the expats/english speakers hang out
8- any other tips
thanks mates.
You're too moronic to travel. Please never leave your shed.
I'm from southern California and my cousin went to Japan earlier this year with his friend
He's into that anime shit, I like it too but back in the late 2000s before normies took it over, he even has some anime tattoos on his right arms and regular tatts on hit other
He's Hispanic but idk if he has dreads now and is also short, he told me he ended up fricking some girl last time he went earlier this year and his friend was detained or arrested for a bit idk
He called me drunk at 2 am last Saturday telling me to go with him this year since I called him drunk from Puerto Vallarta like a week before just bullshiting
I've fricked asian girls here in Southern California so I guess my look is attractive to some, the ones I fricked were Vietnamese and Chinese, I don't think I've ever fricked a Japanese girl though, I'm Latino with skin tone like bad bunny
I might go to Japan with him for a week in October but idk yet, Im fine with fricking latinas here and in Mexico
hey nice, im planning a trip to japan in oct as well! itll be for two weeks and itll be my friends and I's first time. Right now we're all just stressing about learning Japanese lol
this thread is making it seem japan is the easiest place to hook up with girls. Is it seriously that easy or is all this larp? lol
It's a larp. I met so many autistic larpers while living in japan. people who were made up obvious stories about how cool they were back home. had a guy tell me he hated anime and how he was such a buff bro. came back with a bag full of dbz gacha and demon slayer. majority of people going to japan are not getting any pussy unless they are getting the passed around gaijin hunter.
had it happen a few times on the train.
>Everyone is fricking beautiful and the fashion styles are easy on the eyes
thing: meh
thing japan: DOOD
kys coomer
>had a guy tell me he hated anime and how he was such a buff bro. came back with a bag full of dbz gacha and demon slayer.
so he's a super DWEEB because he likes normie anime? sounds like a regular zoomer homosexual, no wonder he's your friend
I went on a bus trip one time, and a Japanese guy sat next to me. He sat on the bus the whole way double up, with his head down, like he was sleeping. He also kept leaning on me, even after I shoved him several times. Eventually, I had to say stop leaning on me. He seemed to fall asleep again, and leaned on me again. I think he was on drugs.
Is it normal for sleepy people to lean on eachother on Japan on public transport?
I once had a cute japanese girl stranger sleep on my shoulder for 10 mins on the train from mt takao
Chuo line (goes all the way from Shinjuku to Takao/Ome/Hachioji) almost always guarantees that shit.
On the way out of Tokyo, it's people tired from their dog shit jobs. They can't afford to rent closer to downtown and have to stay in Hachioji instead.
If on the way in, then it's people tired from playing around.
I like hiking around Mitake during weekends due to how accessible it is. You're also allowed to set up a day camp and bbq shit around that river, swimming is also fine. To be honest I'm not sure if it's 100% allowed, it's just that I've seen so many people do it I've started doing it as well.
I probably spent like 4 weeks in Hachioji. The locals laughed at me when I said I stayed there all the time, but I enjoyed it. Never had a qt3.14 sleep on me on the train though.
You can have them. The women aren't going to like them though. I was a beardcel for the 3 months I was there.
For me its
>Clean
>Efficient
>Great mix of culture and modern living
>Food isnt processed amalgams of micro plastics
>Everything is reasonable priced
>Even if people dont like you they either ignore you or are at least polite
>Transit system one of the best in the world
>Never felt I was in danger, even when near black out drunk wandering around
>Everyone is minding their own business and doing something.
>Everyone is fricking beautiful and the fashion styles are easy on the eyes
Thats a couple of my reasons why I go every year. I just got back a couple weeks ago and waiting patiently for next years flights to start opening up.
>Transit system one of the best in the world
Unironically I weeb out about the japanese transit system alone
imagine being able to travel 1500km end to end of your country for 600 dollars and the trip time is half of what it would take to drive the same distance
My godforsaken western shithole cant even connect toronto with bedroom communities more than 100km away
The Go-train is a blight upon mankind.
I like the go-train its just not nearly enough for the needs of the GTA. When end of the line is only just now expanding to kitchener/oshawa/hamilton commuting without a car into toronto was impossible.
It just really comes down to the number of dysgenic-tier morons in positions of influence & power in this province. Picrel is a great example
Just clarifying, the morons are the ones actually protesting against new housing development in fricking ontario
of course a moronic /n/ crossposter can't even manage to download an image correctly
I like going to Japan because I am popular there. People like taking pictures with me, same thing in Taiwan. They find my red beard and brown hair combo fascinating. It also helps the I'm handsome even by American standards but by no means a Giga Chad. Everyone is very friendly and I don't speak a lick of Japanese outside of the polite phrases.
>red beard
No, they’re making fun of you for being a ginger subhuman. It’s okay for girls to be gingers because that’s hot but ginger males are generic garbage and you look like shit. Next time instead of travelling to Japan why don’t you try and find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow in Ireland where you belong?
>Next time instead of travelling to Japan why don’t you try and find a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow in Ireland where you belong?
Simple, you enjoyed your time there.
I'm heading back there in September, looking forward to doing a countryside tour.
is tokyo and japan MEGA HOT in summer?
for reference aussie here used to 30degree days
also have felt singapore heat
Aussie here. No youll be right
>never travelled before in my life
>go to Japan
>come back
>have pretty much no desire to go anywhere else in the world, just want to go back to Japan
is this normal?
for the sake of variety you'd probably want to go somewhere else no?
Yes.
force yourself to go to at least two other countries to prove your japan supremacy is valid
you can reward yourself with another japan trip after each one
31 year old Britbong here. I visited Japan for the first time ever this April just passed and I fricking loved it. I visited Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara and Osaka. Did 7 days in Tokyo and 7 days around Osaka.
What I loved is:
>the amazing public transportation
>the amount of stuff to do in the cities
>the cleanliness
>the respectful Japanese people
When you compare this to the UK which has:
>the worst public transportation in the world. some trains are once every hour if that
>hardly anything to do in cities that doesn't involve just drinking and then going home
>extremely dirty because Brits don't respect the country and throw trash on the floor and cigarette butts out their car windows
>the worst kinda people that will randomly abuse you in the street (especially kids/teenagers from low income neighbourhood attacking you)
I kinda realised the UK is shitty in comparison to Japan. Although one thing I suppose I like here is that people are generally very friendly overall but extremely passive-aggressive. It's easy to have a chat with a stranger in the UK but if you honk at someone in in your car who cut you up, expect them to follow you and want to start a fight.
There is also nothing to do in the UK. No shrines or cool things to see. Only 3 mountains (Ben Nevis, Snowdon & Scafell) which I have all climbed. The cities are dead and disgusting, particularly the Northwest cities like Liverpool and Manchester. The women are all fat and act like men.
I'm already planning to go back to Japan in November. Frick me I hate the UK so much
I'm not a bongbro but I'm a frog just living across the Channel, and [let'sSaySpoilerWorks]while we have the superior vistas, mountains and shit[/spoiler] you can't tell me there's absolutely nothing in the UK. I enjoyed my time in Scotland, beautiful vistas and old stones, the overall atmosphere was great. I also liked the English countryside. Never went to Wales, but I intend to do so someday. I agree with the cities overall, but I don't like cities anyway, and your little countryside villages and towns were comf and roadtrip friendly.
Seen one Scottish mountain, seen em all
>Frick me I hate the UK so much
At least you have self awareness.
The anglosphere (America, Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand) is a hellish and tyrannically place to live. The governments are paranoid and tyrannically. They constantly spy on other countries and their own citizens. They have special organizations to ensure that you pay your tax or they jail you. You will unironically find more "freedom" in South America or Eastern Europe.
Don't forget Justin Trudeau enforced a "war time emergency act" against his own citizens AND froze their bank accounts for protesting against COVID vaccines.
You're not wrong at all, I'm just curious as to what breed of ESL you are for not knowing the difference between tyrannical and tyrannically.
As these two point out, push factors are also a reason a lot of people choose to move to Japan. Especially for Brits.
Japan is flawed but I genuinely couldn't stand living in London.
If I ever got sick and tired of Japan I would try somewhere else but I will never return to the UK except to see family.
Coming up on the 10 year anniversary of my last time in Japan. Should I go back?
I was a 19 year old weeb last time and spent 3 months backpacking around somewhat autistically. Is it worth it for normies? I think I only had a good time last time because of my autistic levels of engagement with weeb culture and jap history.
Digital nomad in Mexico (winters) and Kazakhstan (summers) right now. Mostly interested in music, food, and meeting new people if I go back.
You’ll be disappointed. Not saying don’t go but it won’t be the same Japan - it’ll be SIGNIFICANTLY worse
Name a country that hasn't gotten significantly worse in the last 20 years.
Bonus if it didn't just go from being a complete shithole to less of a shithole.
What the hell is that even supposed to mean?
I don't know what he's asking either, but in a more surreal way. I assume you just think his question makes no sense. I, on the other hand, don't know how to answer his question because my sense of time is blurred, and it's hard for me to tell 2003 and 2023 apart (except for consumer technology and politics).
>pic is apparently what Tokyo looked like in 2003
I probably have some sort of idea of the meaning behind the question, but technology and the internet are the biggest drivers of change these past twenty years, and it's stupid to think that the second largest city in Japan has somehow hasn't been touched in a way that would make it feel like Tokyo two decades ago. Globalization means the Osaka has had to adapt to tourism and all the things that come along with it, and I would argue that in some ways it's moved beyond/faster than Tokyo in some regards. Take a look at Tobita that is way more foreigner-friendly than any location in Tokyo when it comes to prostitution. The trains and subways and signage are in Japanese, Chinese, Korean, and English to accommodate the swarms of tourists in the city. While each city has its certain stereotypes about personalities and atmosphere, the internet has blurred the spread of culture wether it be fashion and clothing, art, and music, not to mention usage of social media driving everything, which further erases the feel of regional differences.
Osaka is what you would expect tokyo to be if all you know about Tokyo is from video games and movies.
Went to Japan bout 3 weeks ago.
Mostly went to find obscure mecha shit I wouldn't be able to find online / at a non-assrapey price and lil mundane stuff like a big ol' parfait or lil urban shrines.
I was a man on a frickin mission since I only had roughly about 4.5 days at the time.
So I guess I miss japan because I couldn't explore as much as I wanted.
That and I MISS DON QUIXOTE SO MUCH, A 24/7 DEPARTMENT STORE IS A FRICKING GODSEND
did you smash a jap qt?
I'm going to travel solo for the first time to Japan. Could anyone here share with me tips/sites that can allow me to locate hotels for the cheap? It seems like every is costing at least 100 a night, which is really costing me a pretty penny.
Ive just booked hotels in osaka and tokyo. Public onsen and good looking jp breakfest in Osaka included, staying at aki in tokyo, 13 days in total, it costed me around 1100dol but I travel with my gf and we split.
Both of those are 3 star, i imagine that you can find something like 60dol/night for solo room/apartament if you pick less popular area outside the city center surrundings + pick lower standard.
Ive seen some hotels that are close to highspeed roads and train tracks offering very cheap deals, but you risk noise pollution, all of that can be found on bookingcom, just sort accordingly. Otherwise try airbnb, there are some subpar looking places but they seem cheaper than hotels. Also if you use booking pick hotels with genious status to recive up to 10-20% back.
Thanks anon. Will do so, accommodation really eat into the budget a solo.
Just to be sure it was 1100 total so after the split its like around 550dol per person.
I think that capsupes arent best option for solo travel, you can basicly get a room for similar price, albeit with worse standard, but who the frick prefers being stuck in the row of windowed bed chambers, i cant imagine going like this with >1week trips. Just now I browsed some airbnb and found some ok 1 room street lvl apartment for ~50dol, just book in advance, something like 5/4months prior works best.
TFW soaplands reject gaijin, but if you're asian-gaijin they somehow are way more lenient on bookings LMFAO.

White gaijins are diseased. They brought diseases into japan.
Will japanese pipo be raycis to me if I’m half korean?
no you can get into soaplands.
I came back after 6 weeks of travelling solo.
>They say if you can't get laid in your home country you can't be in a foreign.
I couldn't agree more, i couldn't agree more..
Two of many missed opportunities, i just CAN'T STOP DRINKING:
>bought 2 liters of beer from the convenience store at 10pm
>go to a nearby park and drink for myself
>went to a 'japanese' bar
>i'm alone
>30 mins later a group of 4 girls entered the bar
>i had fun with them
>two got really into me
>gets too wasted and never actually make a move, i just wanted to drink more
>leaves the bar alone
>realized it that i fricked up again after i woke up and tell myself i won't drink that much anymore
>Be at another bar after chugging beers beforehand
>get into contact with girls
>get's too wasted again and don't make a move, i just wanted to drink more and more
>leaves alone
>realized it that i fricked up again after i woke up and tell myself i won't drink that much anymore
>I only had sex with one japanese and a chinese girl when i wasn't getting too wasted
I'm going back in January.
I’ll stick to my soaps. Man japan the only fricking country where i’m like… yea… it really isn’t worth it to chase tail, even though it seems tail would like to chased (Gaijin hunter).
You should have visited an otaku bar where distractions like singing karaoke would make it less likely for you to be drunk so soon in the night

have some self control homosexual
Any idea for a second time 2 week travel? Last time I did the classic trip tokyo osaka kyoto nara.
Looking to visit more rural japan.
Not interested in cooming i unfortunately already have a gf
Rent a car, and go for hikes.
Find a mountain or a trail on google maps and go for it.
You probably have much stuff still to see around kansai and western prefectures, just pick different fieldtrips but still treat osaka as a hub. Tokyo stay on the other hand can be shortened, if you saw it and dont have feelings for it, just do 2 days there.
how long would you recommend to stay in Japan ? one week ? two weeks ?
thinking about going next year in august
am 25 yr old germanon with to japanese skills
3 weeks minimum, considering the price to go there.
Are beards tolerated in japan?
You are not Japanese so yes.
>haven't gotten to practice my Japanese in a while
>in the tetons national park doing laundry
>some Japanese couple is there
>try striking up a conversation in Japanese
>they just look at me and don't respond
Ree where are my jouzus
I was there for 3 years, came back to america.
First thing I noticed, I am attracted to white women. If I go back to Japan, there are no white women unless I work on a base again, and they're all taken... unless...
Hafu girls have great asses, it seems like a rule. Only got to hook up with one. My jap gf was fricking crazy but will probably be the best "housewife" I've ever had.
I want to go back, and I just had an interview for a company there. I said something stupid like Japan WA daisuke tbh. I laughed about it afterwards. It went well... If I did go back I couldn't work for the govt again or teach english, it would be miserable.
You liked it because of the lack of Black folk and high trust.
I'm trying to plan a trip to Japan for next month. I want to arrive in Fukuoka, travel north by train, then depart from Tokyo. I'd like to make stops in between. I'll have about 2 weeks.
Have any anons made similar trips? What are some nice things you all have done outside the major cities?
go to the onsens and find some peace
>go to the onsens
Can you do that alone?
Of course, I still find it really awkward when there's other people and much prefer private onsens (especially outdoor ones given how fricking boiling the water is)
eh i dont really care, i dont feel like old japanese men are lusting for me since im not a young woman
I meant more in the social context, I had the idea that onsens were for groups the same way ryokans are, you can't even book those for a single person.
there are public and private ones I believe
I went to Fukuoka, Nagasaki, Hiroshima/Miyajima, Osaka/Kyoto/Nara, Tokyo/Hakone/Kamakura+Enoshima in 15 days last 2014.
Best parts for me were Nagasaki, Miyajima, Kamakura and Enoshima. I got unlucky during the Hakone day as it was foggy and didn't get to see Mt. Fuji.
For me its just that it feels uniquely foreign. While western societies culture and products have invaded it is still very much japanese.
I havent been to anyplace in the world that didnt just feel like America light.
what is there to do in tokyo
Did anyone day trip to Aokigahara from Tokyo, are you able to see a good amount in a day?
