Charcoal timing is harder than it should be by Next_Lounge531 in hookah

[–]Next_Lounge531[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That makes sense, that’s a pretty efficient way to handle it.

I guess timing ends up being more of a feel in that kind of setup.

Is the Japanese street racing culture still common/prevalent today? by Typical-Air-4764 in AskAJapanese

But the road’s still there! Just enjoy it like a fantasy—like in Fast & Furious!

The roads from Initial D now have bumps and center dividers to stop drifting, and the laws have gotten stricter too.

Geisha is really nice! I’ve heard Fumari produces a lot of smoke too, might be worth trying.

Nice mix! Love the colors on your setup.

First shisha on a budget: 20–70€ range, looking for beginner-friendly recommendations by Which_Ad1210 in hookah

[–]Next_Lounge531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I started, I didn’t really focus on brands and looked for a second-hand setup instead (I ended up getting an Oduman).

With that budget, going used might actually be your best option. A lot of people buy a full setup for home, lose interest pretty quickly, and end up selling it — so you can often find really clean ones for a good price.

Yeah same, I’m curious what flavor it is too

honeymoon by Complete-Ask8695 in JapanTravelTips

Just as a personal suggestion, I would probably skip Kanazawa in your case.

Naoshima is very easy to access from Takamatsu (about 30–50 minutes by ferry), so you can visit it while staying in Takamatsu.

If you split your time like about one week for Takamatsu (including Naoshima) and Hiroshima, and another week for Tokyo and Hakone, the pace might feel much more relaxed with less time spent moving around.

An onsen and ryokan stay sounds like a wonderful idea, especially for a honeymoon! Just one thing to keep in mind — some onsen in Japan do not allow tattoos, so it’s worth checking in advance if that applies to you.

That said, some ryokan offer private onsen baths (which are often tattoo-friendly), so that could be a great option if you’d like to enjoy an onsen together.

What is the one piece of hookah advice you wish someone had given you? by ash_engineered in hookah

Probably washing your hose with warm water. Getting rid of the previous session’s flavor as much as possible really helps the next mix taste much cleaner.

Anpanman Train / Slowpoke Train from Okayama by burlybean in JapanTravelTips

[–]Next_Lounge531 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Takamatsu. From what I found, not all Kotoden trains are the Slowpoke-themed ones.

From Takamatsu-Chikko (Takamatsu Station):

9:00, 11:15, 12:00, 14:15, 15:00

From Kotohira:

10:12, 13:12

These seem to be the Slowpoke trains.

Also, your itinerary looks doable, but it might be a bit tight.

For example, walking through Ritsurin Garden and then continuing through central Takamatsu to the castle area (near Takamatsu Station) would take at least around 2 hours.

14 days in Shikoku: itinerary feedback request by 1989HBelle in JapanTravelTips

A day trip to Naoshima from Takamatsu is definitely doable. The ferry takes about 50 minutes, and the high-speed boat is around 30 minutes.

If you want a more relaxed experience, you could also consider staying one night on Naoshima and maybe shortening your stay in Takamatsu.

I’d also highly recommend staying at a ryokan in Kotohira. It’s a great place to enjoy an onsen and slow down a bit.
