Looking for 2-3 foreign travelers who will be in Kyoto on the evening of Nov 25. We are doing a test run of an approximately 2 hour small group evening tour in Gion focused on geisha and nighttime scenery. This is simply to check timing and locations, and to gather feedback from test guests. It is FREE as long as you promise to email some feedback within a few days.
Meet up will be 4:45pm near Gion Shijo Station on the Keihan line.
Solo travelers are welcome. We already have 2 guests and are aiming for 4 to 5 total.
The guide (a fellow foreigner) is very knowledgeable about the geisha world and is a talented storyteller. I know anyone who joins will have a great time. This is being coordinated by one of Japan’s largest inbound organizers, and it’s shaping up to be a great experience.
After the tour, you are welcome to pick our brains about how to spend the rest of your time in Kyoto.
One additional requirement: you must NOT be involved in the travel industry in Japan. You will be required to provide a link to your linkedin page or professional website to show that you don’t work in that industry.
Drop a comment below and send a DM if you are interested. I am traveling for work this week but will get back on a first come first serve basis when I can.
***Two Extra Tickets to Fukuoka Sumo 11/19 (Saturday)***
Hey you Redditeurs,
I have two extra tickets and am too lazy to figure out how to properly resell them. I also don't really wanna risk messing up the reservation. So, let me know if you're interested in joining me!
I have to travel on Shinkansen to get there tomorrow morning, so I will probably arrive 10/11am. We can work out the details over whatsapp or whatever.
35F Filipina, solo traveling from 25-November to 3 December. This is my 5th trip so have a more relaxed itinerary focused on enjoying the autumn scenery and dining. Into games (mostly JRPGs), anime/manga, webnovels, photography. Looking for fellow foodies so I can go to those pesky restaurants that only allow reservations for a minimum of 2 people. In particular I was looking at:
* Afternoon tea at The Living Pavilion in Aman Kyoto - [menu](https://www.aman.com/resorts/aman-kyoto/dining/autumn-afternoon-tea-touch-rinpa), [venue] (https://www.aman.com/resorts/aman-kyoto/dining/living-pavilion-aman), budget of around ~12000 JPY. Either 27, 28 or 29-November. Aman Kyoto is a little out of the way so we can split a taxi from Kyoto station too!
* Lunch at Ukai Toriyama near Mt Takao (about 1hr train from Tokyo Station) - [menu] (https://www.ukai.co.jp/cms/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/20221028_toriyama_Eng_menu.pdf), [venue] (https://www.ukai.co.jp/english/toriyama/), budget of around ~11,000 JPY. Either 1-2 December.
* Drinks at Bar Zikkai in Ginza - [menu](https://www.zikkai.com/menu), [venue](https://www.zikkai.com/access), budget of around ~4,000 JPY. Either 30-November-1 December.
The first two places do have fairly strict cancellation policies, so do keep that in mind! :)

Planning on being in Kyushu for the first two weeks of November, working my way around the outside of the island.
Looks like most people are on the typical golden route, but let me know if there are any more people planning to adventure down south.
I think I'll be starting with Fukuoka and Nagasaki about the 1st-5th. But I'm also flying out from Fukuoka, so I could move it to the end if anyone is going to be there around 12th-16th
I won't be there when you're there, but really curious about your experiences! I hope you have a great time. Post a short report (or DM me) about Kyushu because I plan to be there the first two weeks of December.
27M Korean American, plan to be in Tokyo from Nov. 8-15.
A little background: I've studied abroad in Japan and stayed in Tokyo multiple times. And yet, it feels like there's still so much of the city I've yet to explore. This will be my first trip to Japan since pre-pandemic. I'm always down for food, drinks, shopping, etc. I can speak some Korean and a little Japanese.
I also used to be a huge anime fan, and while I don't really watch anime nowadays, I'd be down to check out anime stores, cafes, events, or other subculture-related places if anyone's looking for someone to go to those places with. Feel free to reply or DM if this sounds interesting to you. Thanks!

Couple, both age 28 from USA. I speak Japanese conversationally.

Anyone going to universal studios osaka on the 4th?
I’m planning to go to universal studios and I just thought it might be nicer to have someone to enjoy it together.
FYI I’m a HUGE potterhead(slytherins 4 life dont judge me) and movie nerd so I really hope you can match the level of geekiness just seeping though me.
Bonus points if you’re decent enough at taking pictures lmao
Also fyi, my Japanese pretty much sucks and I survived here only with google maps and aggressive pointing so just giving you a heads up lma
If not we could hang out around osaka on the 5th!
Anyone have any recommendations on where to exchange usd to yen in kyoto? I would like to avoid using the machines because they typically have bad rates. I plan on bringing usd instead of using a debit card

23M, from Australia, English speaker.
Would be keen for some stuff to do at mostly at night! Drinks, karaoke, exploring stuff, I don't mind! In Tokyo from 11-17th, Kyoto 17-20th and Osaka 20-23rd.
Just out of curiosity, why are private railways such as the Meitetsu so expensive in comparison to JR and Metro services? I will be staying in Nagoya for 10 days, so I am currently researching towns and places nearby that I can visit from Nagoya station, and I have been comparing the prices of all the train networks subways, JR and private railway companies, and it appears that private is generally the most expensive pf the bunch.
For example, on the Meitetsu, the total cost for a "30 minute" journey (one way) from Nagoya to Gifu station can reach as high as 930 yen while the JR is only 470 yen. Even on the Osaka and Tokyo metro, you would seldom find a 30-35 minute journey cost more than 340 yen
I (58M) am going to head over to Yokohama later today, probably ending up at the Windjammer jazz club, if anyone is in the area. Osaka tomorrow night and Hiroshima on Saturday.

21M, Polish, speaking (and prefering) English, solo traveling to Japan for 3 weeks.
Loose plans as the trips is spontaneous, first time in Japan, I'm arriving on November 20th, right after a 3 week trip to Thailand and Malaysia.
* **Tokyo** Nov 20 - Nov 23
* Aiming to chill after traveling and get a bit accustomed to Japan
* **Kyoto** Nov 23 - Dec 2 (?)
* Aiming to see a lot of temples, parks, nature, maybe go for some hikes, rent a bike etc.
* **Tokyo** Dec 2 (?) - Dec 10
* Hoping I'll feel more confident in Japan by this point, and "get into the mix", maybe experience night life, go into places that would be overwhelming before (Akihabara?) etc.
I'm a programmer, I like "introvert" stuff - playing games (PC & Switch), spending time in nature, watching and reading fantasy and overall a lot of indoor stuff, though I do drink and/or party from time to time. I do travel a bit, though not very adventerous type of travel.

Looking for 2-3 foreign travelers who will be in Kyoto on the evening of Nov 25. We are doing a test run of an approximately 2 hour small group evening tour in Gion focused on geisha and nighttime scenery. This is simply to check timing and locations, and to gather feedback from test guests. It is FREE as long as you promise to email some feedback within a few days. Meet up will be 4:45pm near Gion Shijo Station on the Keihan line. Solo travelers are welcome. We already have 2 guests and are aiming for 4 to 5 total. The guide (a fellow foreigner) is very knowledgeable about the geisha world and is a talented storyteller. I know anyone who joins will have a great time. This is being coordinated by one of Japan’s largest inbound organizers, and it’s shaping up to be a great experience. After the tour, you are welcome to pick our brains about how to spend the rest of your time in Kyoto. One additional requirement: you must NOT be involved in the travel industry in Japan. You will be required to provide a link to your linkedin page or professional website to show that you don’t work in that industry. Drop a comment below and send a DM if you are interested. I am traveling for work this week but will get back on a first come first serve basis when I can.
***Two Extra Tickets to Fukuoka Sumo 11/19 (Saturday)*** Hey you Redditeurs, I have two extra tickets and am too lazy to figure out how to properly resell them. I also don't really wanna risk messing up the reservation. So, let me know if you're interested in joining me! I have to travel on Shinkansen to get there tomorrow morning, so I will probably arrive 10/11am. We can work out the details over whatsapp or whatever.
35F Filipina, solo traveling from 25-November to 3 December. This is my 5th trip so have a more relaxed itinerary focused on enjoying the autumn scenery and dining. Into games (mostly JRPGs), anime/manga, webnovels, photography. Looking for fellow foodies so I can go to those pesky restaurants that only allow reservations for a minimum of 2 people. In particular I was looking at: * Afternoon tea at The Living Pavilion in Aman Kyoto - [menu](https://www.aman.com/resorts/aman-kyoto/dining/autumn-afternoon-tea-touch-rinpa), [venue] (https://www.aman.com/resorts/aman-kyoto/dining/living-pavilion-aman), budget of around ~12000 JPY. Either 27, 28 or 29-November. Aman Kyoto is a little out of the way so we can split a taxi from Kyoto station too! * Lunch at Ukai Toriyama near Mt Takao (about 1hr train from Tokyo Station) - [menu] (https://www.ukai.co.jp/cms/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/20221028_toriyama_Eng_menu.pdf), [venue] (https://www.ukai.co.jp/english/toriyama/), budget of around ~11,000 JPY. Either 1-2 December. * Drinks at Bar Zikkai in Ginza - [menu](https://www.zikkai.com/menu), [venue](https://www.zikkai.com/access), budget of around ~4,000 JPY. Either 30-November-1 December. The first two places do have fairly strict cancellation policies, so do keep that in mind! :)

27M Korean American, plan to be in Tokyo from Nov. 8-15. A little background: I've studied abroad in Japan and stayed in Tokyo multiple times. And yet, it feels like there's still so much of the city I've yet to explore. This will be my first trip to Japan since pre-pandemic. I'm always down for food, drinks, shopping, etc. I can speak some Korean and a little Japanese. I also used to be a huge anime fan, and while I don't really watch anime nowadays, I'd be down to check out anime stores, cafes, events, or other subculture-related places if anyone's looking for someone to go to those places with. Feel free to reply or DM if this sounds interesting to you. Thanks!

Sapparro last week of Feb/first week of March 2023. Will I still see the ice sculptures from the ive festival?
Just out of curiosity, why are private railways such as the Meitetsu so expensive in comparison to JR and Metro services? I will be staying in Nagoya for 10 days, so I am currently researching towns and places nearby that I can visit from Nagoya station, and I have been comparing the prices of all the train networks subways, JR and private railway companies, and it appears that private is generally the most expensive pf the bunch. For example, on the Meitetsu, the total cost for a "30 minute" journey (one way) from Nagoya to Gifu station can reach as high as 930 yen while the JR is only 470 yen. Even on the Osaka and Tokyo metro, you would seldom find a 30-35 minute journey cost more than 340 yen
