@dylantbmayes:

November 2017? @Giles

Thanks for letting me know!

[Dion]

Beautiful Japan and clothes pics incoming…

[ROman]

Safe travels or Save travels.

[Giles]

We are here at our apartment in Ebisu…..Just need a shower

[dylantbmayes]

I hear all the cool kids arrive Nov 8.

I land Nov 10… close enough

[Giles]

PBJ, Toyo etc are showing this week, that is specifically why we are showing this week.  I have no idea why the cool kids decided to miss those shows and in our case put Haraki and co to a load more effort….

Day 1

Wandered up to Shibuya for a walk around and some lunch at Freshness Burger. This steak house's catchy slogan made us laugh.

Luckily the burgers were not made out of the Spam advertised

Came home to try and get some rest before we head out later on but I got woken up by a Japanese class that may as well have been in my bedroom, so went for a walk down the road to try and find the drink @UnTucked recommended, unsuccessfully, (send me a photo please Anthony!) but managed to get some nice Sapporo to blow out the cobwebs.

Now back to Shibuya for a drink and some yakitori.

[UnTucked]

You can find them at any Family Mart, Lawson's or 7-11….

They're called chu-hi (chew-hi).

There are so many kinds, it's impossible to send you an all encompassing pic

[Alex]

Yup they were right next to the beers. Next time.. Thank you

[UnTucked]

Some can be a bit sweet, but get the 8% or 9%, and let the party begin!!!

Our Airbnb is down this busy road…

There she is, the one with the black balconies- 2 double bedrooms, 1 1/2 bathrooms and a large kitchen/living area at half the price of a room slightly larger than my suitcase in a hotel….

Take special care in Shibuya station….

Missing you both - and your talk earlier of eating Freshness burgers and yakitori has made me feel really hungry…

I know Toyo is showing Nov 7, 8 and 9… don't know about PBJ though.

Samurai is showing the week of the 13th (I think).

It's all out of sync these days.

That is indeed crazy, I looked at Hotels in Tokyo for an eventual Japan Trip and tought I accidently typed Monaco or something like that, on the other Hand the AirBnBs are as cheap as it gets, especially compared to London.

Is there anywhere on the Internet or maybe even is this Forum a sort of Map where to stay the best in Tokyo for exploring ?

Is this referring to my post?

Not sure what you mean.
